How are these things alike?

 

Superman and Clark Kent; Batman and Bruce Wayne; Jekyll and Hyde; the Jaguars.

 

All four have split personalities.

 

For back-to-back seasons, the Jaguars have played one good half, one horrible half. Last season it was awful then good. This season the team that started 8-3 and was contending for the AFC’s No.1 seed fell apart. The blame belongs everywhere: offense, defense, special teams and coaching.

Then repeat that process.

 

Yeah, it’s still a game of blocking and tackling.
