Nice way to have any speck of optimism there dude.

Optimism, hell I'm a realist. He sucks as a head coach and as a leader. The last few years were proof.

He could not find his way out of a paper bag.
And, that $115 will save Jacksonville from financial ruin. - Mayor John Peyton

People can't afford their rent, their JEA, the food on the tables....so what, the Jags are a crummy product anyway. They will NEVER make it to the Super Bowl with Del Rio as coach. Now is as good of a time to prove it as ever!

:D  :-\ I can almost see the breadlines forming in your post.

I suppose taking a team out of financial & personnel ruin, 2 playoff appearances and a winning record (50/46) is considered a failure.  ::)
And though I long to embrace, I will not replace my priorities: humour, opinion, a sense of compassion, creativity and a distaste for fashion.

The last few years are proof? 2007 the team was one Northcutt drop from being tied with a 16-0 New England team.

mtrain-is there any thing in life that you do like?  You are quite possibly the most negative person I've ever talked to.

With regard to the jags-I think they will surprise some people.  My prediction is 9-7, but I think this year will be more successful because of rookie development.

BTW-if you compare the jags record over the last 5 years to the rest of the league, and you find that we are in the top quarter of the league.

I don't know if mtrain is a college football fan, but it wouldn't surprise me. Many college football fans can't seem to understand that the records of the big programs is a HECK of a lot better because they get a couple of games against the north central Missouri school for women, or some division II school that has no business being on the same field.  Those folks don't, and may not ever get it, and I sense that our good friend mtrain is one of those.

Seriously - on November 21st last year, one game from the end of the regular season, did Florida have any business playing Florida International?

What I like about the NFL is that each and every week, either team really can with each game (save for maybe the 2008 Lions).  Imagine if every Gators opponent was against a top 25 team - I think that we would look at wins and losses a bit differently.

I don't get what the problem is. I grew up watching both college football and the NFL, and I think I have perfectly rational expectations for my teams on each level. I guess it would be different if you were a fan of one and then the other, but I just can't empathize.

To defend the Gators for a second, their schedules recently have been particularly strong (by virtue of the SEC's recent success). I understand you are speaking about the problem with college football in general and just using UF as an example, but I've got to defend my college team, even if it is preemptive.

All Steve is saying is two or three of those wins are gimmees.  The Jags get no such luxury.
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

True. I knew what Steve was saying. I meant that I don't see why it's hard to understand that. And differentiate between the two standards of success.

The axe was fine until Chris Hanson got his hands on it. I blame Hanson more than the axe. After all, he was the same guy that could not handle fondue.
