I am hoping that this is not a trap game.

You mean looking ahead to Peyton and the Broncos ? Maybe but Sunday's game was such a lackluster effort that I'd hope for a bounce-back effort vs a division rival like the Jags this weekend ?
BTW went back and watched my recording of Sundays game and Newton didn't play badly at all, atleast in terms of keeping Wake at bay. Kinda hard to evaluate his run-blocking since so much of the Texans' rushing game went to the left.

MJD never makes me comfortable and Blackmon can be a beast. Still, I don't think their defense is as stout as it was under Del Gutter. I think we'll put up some points. Gabbert is someone we can pressure.

I think week 2 is a bit early for a "trap" game. These guys aren't that knicked up or tired yet, and the press hasn't gotten any heavier after beating the Fins.

Jacksonville is a bad football team.

We will roll.

If there are no turnovers, it could be a close game. MJD running the ball and the Jags defense could give them the edge in Time of Possession. So we have to be efficient when we have the ball and score TDs. If we get into a FG battle, this won't be a 20-pt blowout.

how is mjd and their defense likely to give them the edge in time of possession anymore than arian foster and the texans defense giving it to the texans?

last time i checked the texans defense was far better than the jags, and while mjd was the rushing leader last year, arian foster wasn't far off.

Hags trying to boost ticket sales..... Pretty smart by the parts guy. $20 is more than $0, and they need all the help they can get. Don't understand why some owners don't get that.

A new ticket promotion: For $20 each you can buy up to four seats to a Jaguars home game on a Saturday. Sunday an hour before kickoff, you turn in your certificate and get random, non-premium seats, likely singles. It’s a coin toss where you’ll wind up, so the team is calling it the Coin Toss Ticket promotion.

Roy said it COULD give them the top advantage. And if we don't score and put some pressure on them to keep up, they absolutely COULD patiently hurt us with the running game inside and play keep away.
