Why is Jacksonville going to lose ?

Postby politicalfootball » Fri Dec 08, 2017 6:24 pm

Ok I will go first. Jacksonville will lose because their QB is lousy.

Your turn....




Go Hawks !

Although they haven't been in the league as long as a team like Detroit, they are one of the few teams that have never been to a Super Bowl, so yea, they're Jacksonville.

I'm pretty nervous about this game. We have this Jekyll and Hyde personality, hard to tell which one will show up.

You are right River and I am kind of worried to that's why I started this thread. I want to see all the reasons why we should win.

I've got one we should win cuz we have been there before and this is like a playoff game. I think we have enough veterans on the team to be Jekells instead of Mr Hydes.

We have been playing well enough lately (and even on the road) for optimism. Also, our run defense has been very good which goes against their strength.

The game was moved from 10 Pacific to 1:25. That is going to help.

Also, they haven't faced a QB like RW.

Thanks Largent . Wow talk about putting it all together that gives me more than hope. We can have a discussion now. I wonder what Pete Carroll is saying to the team.

Because they’re playing the Seahawks in December with a healthy RW, and a hungry Bobby Wagner. People keep talking about Four-nuts..... well he won’t be running full speed against B-Wags that’s for sure and for certain.

Yeah I hope four-nuts sits but even if he plays he's only averaging 3 yards per carry. Thanks for the link.

I think the temperature is kinda low for them. Gainesville had a snow storm last night. I think they are not going to be as used to the colder weather as the Hawks are. That's not why we will win, but it will be another factor that adds into why we win.

Lets break it down.

Coach-Carroll although Marrone is a good one and I predicted he would get the job full time. the Jags are actually 10-4 since he became the interim coach last Dec.IMO this is closer than many might think in terms of coaching ability but obviously not resume.

QB. Are you kidding? Russ 15 TDs and 1 pick in the 4th quarter. Bortles 14 TD and 7 picks total with 1 TD and 4 picks in the 4th quarter.

Line-Push. Seattle is really improving in this area.It is critical to this game

RBs huge Jax advantage on paper although Davis showed some pop and McKissic is getting bigger in the offense by the week.


Defense-Push. I aint buying that the Jax defense is much better than Seattle's veteran battle tested squad, especially lately. I think the Hawks will want to prove something and they will succeed.

Receivers- Huge Seattle advantage. This is the best receiving corps seattle has ever put on the field.

ST- I don't know much about Jax but ours aren't great.

Intangibles-Seattle has the pedigree and the big game experience. Jax hasn't seen anything like this yet.


Hawks 24=Jax 10

I think the big key to the game today is how we handle Calais Campbell. If we can take care of him and make sure we don't leave gaping holes for blitzes in doing it, then we should have a pretty good day on offense (if Bevel doesn't brain fart)

4 OCT 1 LOSS AT JAGUARS 20 JETS 23 (They lost to the Jets? huh!)
5 OCT 8 WIN AT JAGUARS 30 STEELERS 9 (This is when Rothlisberger was contimplating retiring and they had Anthem drama in their locker room)

I really don't know how this game is going to go down. I've been pretty good at picking how our Hawks will fare, correctly predicting the result in 9 out of our 12 games in our pick-um league this season.

Even after losing Sherman and Kam, our defense looks solid and seems to have healed Thyself. I don't think we'll have a problem with keeping them under 20, which for most teams, usually spells victory. But the Jags have a quick, athletic defense that can contain Russell and shut down our receivers. We're going to need something out of our running game besides Russell's scrambles and keeps off the read, and I'm having a hard time imaging how that's going to happen.

Unless we can get some production out of our running game, which has been sporadic at best, we're going to need some points out of our defense and/or special teams if we are to come out of there with a W. Otherwise I think it's going to be a long day.

I do not have any vibes on this game. Something tells me low score with alot of ugliness.

I predict a weird score

Sea 12, Jax 11
