i never understood why some can't admit that the amazing "culture" and "vibe" were here when we lost to the 4-13 Jets, then lost at home to the 8-9 Browns by 25 points, then lost at home to the Chargers by 19 points, then lost at home to the Forty-niners. 

Trying to use the Jets loss as some validation that culture or vibe is not real is silly. The Jags just beat the Colts and kept them out of the playoffs. The Jets beat the Titans this year too. Freddie is good about trying to use one example and then try to use it as significant. The NFL has a 17 game season. Turning a team into a winner after only winning 5 games in 2 years is not like a light switch. It’s why Taylor is a major candidate for COY. The turn around was a huge hill to climb and the other teams with a 4 year run of a poor record with draft and free agency opportunities are still bad. It’s not easy and why Taylor now is viewed as one of the great young coaches.
