They didn't do bad, they did just fine, the other players stepped it up and the predictions for them were just as good, Crosby comes back and they still don't win the cup. Did you ever think that the Jags just aren't that good, like really, when is the last time they've even made it past the first round of the playoffs?

^rofl. try last yr? They were the first team EVER to beat Pitt home TWICE in the same season.
oh, and not to mention making the AFC championship in 96 in only their SECOND yr in the league. Then of course the 99 AFC championship. For a team that's only been in the league 13 yrs, they're well off.
And back to last yr. Impressive win IN pitt. Then they lost to Pats. Looking fucking strong doing it too. Garrard went toe to toe with Brady. TD-TD-TD-TD. Was how they went. until 3rd quarter when Northcutt dropped a wide open pass straight to him in the endzone on 3rd down, and jags had to kick FG. followed by a Brady TD. Nothing to be ashamed of. they went 18-1 and lost to a dope Giants team.
and so what about crosby? Sure he has an impact but one player in hockey doesn't have the same impact as an offensive line or QB in the NFL.
Maybe try taking a NHL team's 3 best defensive players. Then see how they fare.
