Jaguars fans often feel the national media is not on their side. Can't say that about this ranking. Sure, 17th feels like one below the middle of the pack. Maybe because it is one below the middle of the pack. Yet, if you saw how Jacksonville's starters fared versus the Bengals in Week 3 of the preseason, you would think this ranking is for the Sun Belt Conference. (If you need word association, go with "cruddy.") That said, the faith starts now. Particularly in an improved offense that was already productive last year. The defense needs to merely be above average.
