I think the Titans will fall off looking at their last 2 games. No way they beat the Bengals or Steelers.. I see 9-7, they looked a lot better earlier in the year but they are slowing down production wise.

The Bengals are garbage dude. We will lose the Steelers game though. Its a Thursday game so you never know

The Ravens played their base D on 71% of the snaps Sunday. They've only played in their base on 36% of the snaps the entire season up until yesterday,  because they got back their elite run stuffing NT, Williams.  So Baltimore really loaded up to stop the run and the game was over in the 3rd Q.  They played a heavy front 9  twice as often against TN and TN still scored three red zone TD's.  Balt had 9 in the box all game.  Prior to that game TN was 31 st in the red zone because of all the injuries on offense.   Adorre Jackson made his first appearance on offense so they are beginning to show that they have a package for him like KC had for Hill.  Jags run D is still not well.  I am interested to see how Jax handles Gurley.  The Rams are going to pound the rock that week so if Jax stops him it is a good sign.  Dareus in my mind is not a solution.  Jay Ajayi ran for over 200 twice with him playing.  Right now TN is not a good match up for Jax because Jax has to stop the run and Mariota has been hurt.  When he has his wheels he is a night mare for them to defend and he threw well against them and Sea.  His game against Seattle was very good.  It is also the last time he was healthy.

Dareus has already had a positive effect on the run game defense in Jax and will likely continue to do so.  He may not be a sole solution, but he fills a glaring need in our base D as we didn't have a true NT with his skillset and size. 
Let us know if you all can hold Mixon to 31 yards next week. Or better yet, hold the bengals to 37 total offensive snaps.

Marcell Dareus posted a 40% run stuff rate for #Jaguars, easily the highest of Week 9. Second place was 25% #NextGenStats (min. 5 run plays)

The Jags run D took a big step forward Sunday, but they'll need to prove it's more than a fluke against a depleated O-Line.  We'll see. 

Gurley already ran all over the Jags weeks ago.  It's Melvin Gordon they'll be dealing with next.  Should be a better test than cincy gave them. 

Looking forward to the tacks and Jags rematch in seven weeks.  Cheers.

We're also entering the time of year where opposing coaches have enough tape to trend your habits. Our coaches have to stay ahead of them with the game plan to stay this effective.

I see the Titans and the jags at 10-5 with the winner of the finale winning division and loser getting a wildcard. We may see titans/jags two weeks in a row

I am a jags fan though,and though. thier seems to be one thing others on the board won't admit too.  this year is looking like 1999 all over again.


Jags have a winning record. Jags are winning games,but can't beat the tittians.  



tittians are wining,won't lose a game at all,and already beat jags once this year.



all im saying is this,it sure seems like when TC has been with jags they are able to beat any team in nfl except for tennsee tittians.   

I am not convinced the tacks can repeat what they did to us in game 1.

Until we square off again the Titans are better. I like our chances next time with Blake playing better and maybe now we can be more than just a run it three times in a row team. You can argue we look better without Fournette in terms of play calling but I'm very excited for this rematch

Maybe the Jags will lead 14-10 at the half and the Titans will score 23 unanswered in the second half.

Funny. 

The Titans, at the time we played last we’re actually matched up perfectly with us; strong run game versus weak run defense. The next matchup will hinge on those dynamics and how they play out

I'm not sure the Titans can either but I think Mariota is something this Jax D cannot prepare for. He is very McNair like. You can take a lot away but he can still kill you with his legs. He has won and he has been hurt. TN has been hurt since week one and they are 5-3. I expect most fans to stat look but I think this article here tells you when this guy get healthy TN may go on a big run. The reason why TN goes is number #8. It is that simple. TN is a tough match up for Jax because their OL can neutralize JAX DL and TN can take both corners out of the game with their run game and Jax is not great against the run. If Jax had a QB.......that would be interesting. Then I agree it is 1999. But Jax doesn't and TN CB are really playing well. Woodyard has over 100 tackles in 8 games and TN has not allowed a 100 yd rusher in a 16 games. http://www.tennessean.com/story/sports/n...837543001/

The way I see it, some people might have picked the Jaguars to be the "sleeper" team in the AFC South, but I think that "prize" should go to the Titans.  They have actually won a couple of games that they shouldn't have.  Let's take a look at the Titans' wins and losses.

Game 1 - Lose to the Raiders that were supposed to be good.  Raiders are 4-5.
Game 2 - Win against the Jaguars due to poor special teams play by the Jaguars.  Jaguars are 5-3
Game 3 - Win against the Seahawks.  Seahawks are 5-3
Game 4 - Lose big to the Texans (14-57).  Texans are 3-5
Game 5 - Lose to the Dolphins. Dolphins are 4-4
Game 6 - Squeak out a win against the Colts.  Colts are 3-6
Game 7 - Squeak out a win against the winless Browns in overtime.  Browns are 0-8
Game 8 - Win against the Ravens.  Ravens are 4-5

So looking at the wins, the Titans beat two teams with a winning record thus far (Jaguars and Seahawks).  Two other wins were close games with one of them going into overtime (against the Browns).

I don't really see the Titans as good at this point, more like lucky.

Titans beat the crap out of the jags, special teams was the least of your problems. Point is, the Titans are stringing wins together. Should be fun

The Titans have been playing like garbage in the last month or so.. How do you go into overtime with the Browns? How do you have a close game with the Ravens? That game was UGLY. Both teams the tacks struggled against, and they are terrible teams. You guys were losing to the Colts before they collapsed in the 4th, too. The titans also lost to the terrible Dolphins and Raiders...

 We lost to you guys, The Rams, and Jets(who are much better than anticipated, and just blew out a playoff team) We also had a meltdown in the 2nd half in that Titans game, and our run defense was pretty awful then too. The fact is, the Jaguars would probably blow out the Titans if they played this week, and I would imagine they will in week 17 barring any major injuries. Most of the teams the Titans barely beat, and have been blown out by, we have smoked. 

This division is the Jaguars to lose. I could see Tennessee dropping games to the Bengals, Steelers, and Colts. Then you have the Rams as well. I would be surprised if Tennessee gets 10 wins this season.

Henry will hit a brick wall next time around.

To be fair, The Jags have only beaten 1 team with a winning record.

However, I think the Jags are a better team now than they were in week 2.

To also be fair the Jaguars should have won against the Jets, the holding call on the fourth quarter Fournette touchdown called on Benn was completely bogus and if that bad call isn't made the Jaguars won even without the bad overtime drops or seriously bad officiating that put the Jets in position to kick a game winner, and their only other losses are against teams leading their divisions.

If ARob were healthy and playing this season I think the Jaguars would be undefeated, because teams would not be able to get away with playing defense like they have for most of the season against the Jaguars with a serious down field threat like him in the game.

I've seen this a few times around the board. 

I don't believe A-Rob would have helped change the outcome when our special teams spotted the Rams 17 points.

I think ARob is worth at least a 14  point swing in that game, and probably more than that.

I'll elaborate. With ARob in the game I doubt the Jaguars are in that same punting situation that lead to the block for a TD, that's seven points off the board for the Rams, and I also think the Rams don't play and get away with the goal line defense in the mid field all game long without giving up at least one extra TD.

A lack of balance was essentially what lost the Jaguars the Rams game. I think the Jaguars probably get a 14 point lead against the titans with ARob and win in the same fashion they did against the titans late last season, and the Jets game isn't even one that should have been a loss to start with. With a threat that demands down field attention like ARob the Jaguars would be in the national media attention bubble that the eagles are currently in.

I'm only citing the rams game. The tacks tilt may have indeed been different if Hackett felt he had the firepower to throw more early on in the game instead of selling out to the run.  The jets game could have been won in a myriad of ways. 

But teams rarely overcome shooting themselves in the foot the way the jags did vs the rams. I see your points and they make sense. I'm just not as confident #15 would have made that much of a difference.

Clearly something else could go wrong and cost the team at any point, but I strongly believe the Jaguars would be the talk of the league to an even greater extent than they already are with a guy like ARob still on the field. He would do for this team every week what Marcedes did for it against the Ravens.

Next year could be really interesting if most of the team returns.
