Jacksonville Jaguars Fan Forums

My favorite part of the schedule, is that we play both Cleveland and Pittsburgh away.

 

I live just north of Pittsburgh, so it looks like I'll be going to TWO games this year!

Quote:Pretty nice schedule for next year I must say.


Home: Colts, Texans, Titans, Ravens (in London), Bengals, Chargers, Rams, Seahawks


Away: Colts, Texans, Titans, Browns, Steelers, Jets, Cardinals, 49ers

Looks like an easy schedule.  Note that our other AFC opponents are the last place Jets and Chargers.  Houston has to play KC and the Pats, 2 playoff teams.  Tennessee plays Oakland and Miami, 2 playoff teams.  Indy plays Buffalo and Denver.

This will be the fifth year in a row we've played the Chargers and our daddy Philip Rivers. Anyway this shouldn't be a hard schedule.

I'm seeing 8 wins simply by eliminating Gus from the equation.

This presents a real opportunity, however things change a lot season by season.  At first look, I like it.  It's up to you Blake!  Time to start busting your [BLEEP] this offseason, last chance buddy.

While I believe it's going to take everything this team can muster in order to sneak into the 2017 Playoffs, I don't think we could have possibly asked for a better schedule. While it typically takes time for a new HC to start winning, we need to take advantage of this season. We really could use someone who truly knows this game and the intricacies of.being a head coach...someone like Mike Smith.


 

Thinking longterm I'm intrigued by the young Shanahan, but I get the feeling he'd need half a season to figure out what it takes to win games. Any rookie HC for that matter will likely require as much.

Ughhhh wish we played Dnever In denver!!
