God have mercy on the Jaguars

[Sarlacc83]

Spread is at -17

ur kidding, in the NFL

Seattle played terribly and beat SF by 26.

The Jaguars may not score and Seattle will definitely be in the 20s. Probably in the 30s or even 40s.

The danger of the -17.5 line is that we're running out subs and they get a late score or two against them to cover the spread.

On the flip side, our seconds and thirds might be better than Jacksonville's first-team offense, especially without MJD.

You know Gus Bradley has to be thinkimg to himself wtf did I do?

Do not over look anyone! This is the NFL and there are a lot of professional football players with pride on the line. They will get up to play the Seahawks and the Seahawks are coming off of a very emotional win...it may be hard for them to regroup and refocus for next week. If the Seahawks come to play, then they win, but if they are coming in with the mindset that they just have to show up to get a W, they could be in trouble. .

yeah but.......

Jaguars. West coast game.

I doubt it. He gets to build a team from the ground up. Everyone will remember how bad they were when he started. In 3 years, if the jags have a playoff win, he will look like a genius.

Yuck. I'd leave that alone, since we're playing against Gus Bradley. He's a defensive-minded coach who knows our system and players well. I'm not sure we'll win by more than 17, and I'm fully expecting the entire NFL to say we're not a quality 3-0 team because that win won't be "impressive" either. We are going to slaughter Jacksonville on defense, but I think they'll probably do a decent job of keeping our offense in check.

Yeah, I'm not going to go that far.

Sounds like Vegas is having a hard time attracting action for this game.

No surprise there. This is arguably the largest gulf between teams that is possible in the NFL today. Only Denver has a legitimate claim to being in our league and even if Jacksonville traveled to Colorado, they'd likely pick up a few points while Manning would call off the dogs after 4 or 5 TDs. They're not Baltimore, after all.

Against Seattle, they're unlikely to score at all. The bottom line, there's a limiting factor to how many points a team will be willing to score and both the Hawks and Broncos would probably get into that range against the Jags. But Seattle would give up less.

This puppy is sailing farther every time I post.

Yea, this has the makings of a classic trap game, but I don't think our guys are looking at it like a gimme. Also, I'd imagine Wilson will want to do far better than he did last night. He's going to want to come out and have a great game. And it's going to be a hugely tough task for Jacksonville in terms of talent and travel alone.

The Jags were just in Oakland today to play the Raiders. They have to go to the West Coast twice in one week. And the second time for the honor of playing us at home.

But, yeah, I do think Pete eases off the throttle if the Hawks are up big late. Gus is a branch of his coaching tree, after all.

I think they're staying out there on the west coast this week, not that it will change much but they're trying to avoid the time zone difference two weeks in a row.
