The Jaguars this year will be out to prove that they can not only compete with the elite in the AFC, but that they are capable of beating these teams and making it all the way to the Super bowl.

If Del Rio can get them to execute they have more than enough talent to get the job done.

David Garrard returns to prove he is here to stay in the NFL after leading the team to an 11-5 record last year.

With the likes of Jones-Drew and Dennis Northcutt to return kicks, the special team looks pretty darn good as well.

On the defensive end, Paul Spicer and Reggie Hayward are as rock solid and will be a tough team to run against.

Another thing that bodes well for the Jags is that they have proven they can win no matter what the conditions.

They came to the snow in Pittsburgh— twice last year and won. They won in the heat, the snow, the domes… you name it.

Del Rio has this team built to play no matter what the circumstances. 

The big key for the Jags is consistency.

Can they maintain good performances out of they're team week in and week out?

This will be what could separate them from the pretenders and close the gap between them and the Pats and Colts.

All in all, the Jaguars will be ready to go and there is no reason for any Jaguar to not believe in a playoff appearance.

This team may even be ready for a championship berth.
