The Colts play the Panthers, Broncos, and Falcons all in the next 4 weeks, I don't see them winning (or even competing) in any of those games. If the Jags come out of the bye and find a way to beat an above average Jets team it should put us in the drivers seat, we have winnable games against the worst defensive team in football (the Ravens) and the Titans at home afterwards, the Jags should be playing some meaningful football in November/December, partly because the roster is improved by primarily because our division might be historically awful, we might have the best team (on paper) in the AFC South. Gear boys and girls it should be a fun ride!
That might be the part that frustrates me the most.
This is the most talented team in the division. With better coaching, this team wins the AFC South in my opinion.
I can't believe how bad this division is.
I've been thinking this but we still need to see the Jaguars get a quality win. I'm really hoping for a trade during this bye week. Willie Young maybe? Get Marqise Lee back and get Julius Thomas more into the offense. It's unlikely but a win against the Jets would carry a lot of momentum into the Ravens game (Which Bortles should have 300+ yards for), and the Titans at home.

I agree, the saving grace is Chuck Pagano, Ken Wisenhunt, and Bill O'Brien are all bad as well. I was on the Bill O'Brien bandwagon but that Texans team looks like they've thrown in the towel, never a good look for a head coach.
I have a bad feeling the tacks will start playing well.

I don't know where that feeling is coming from, they're bad man, especially with Mettenberger at the helm. That defense has played better than expected but the tacks are still a bad football team.

I don't think we need a "quality win" to win this division, just win more games than the Colts, Texans, and Titans. I do believe we can beat the Falcons and Saints, both of those teams are average to below average, especially on defense. What's encouraging about the Bills win is the Jags offensive line opened some holes against one of the better defensive fronts in football, if that continues it will make things a lot easier for Blake and company.

Lol what in the world makes you think that?

Because Richard (Really guys?!?! the contraction of Richard gets automatically censored?!?!) LeBeau is a heck of a coach and that Defense is starting to pick up some steam. I must admit, I thought Tennessee didn't have much of a shot this season but I'm coming around more and more to the idea that there are really very few good coaches in the League that know how to develop and maintain a winning culture / atmosphere amongst their roster. LeBeau is one of them, of that I'm certain.
Now, that Offense they have most likely will sputter and move in fits and starts but it's not going to take a whole lot to win this thing. Besides, when has Tennessee ever
not been a pain in Jacksonville's collective backside?
Thankfully the Patriots still haven't played the Texans or Titans which is pretty much one guaranteed loss for both teams.
Titans schedule: Texans, Saints, Panthers, Jaguars, Raiders, Jaguars, Jets, Patriots, Texans, Colts
The next three weeks I see the Titans going 1-2 with a win over the Texans.
Colts schedule: Panthers, Broncos, Falcons, Bucs, Steelers, Jaguars, Texans, Dolphins, Titans
The next three weeks for the Colts is going to be tough. I see them going 1-2 AT BEST through those three. But 0-3 is very likely as well. In my pickems league, I don't think I would choose them for any of those three games.
Texans schedule: Titans, Bengals, Jets, Saints, Bills, Patriots, Colts,Titans, Jaguars
Ouch. They could possibly beat the Titans but I think I'm choosing the Titans over them next week. The next two games are a loss. 0-3.
Jaguars schedule: Jets, Ravens, Titans, Chargers, Titans, Colts, Falcons, Saints, Texans
I really think the Jaguars beat the Titans and the Ravens. But lose to the Jets. Although if they beat the Jets that would be quite the statement. I say 2-1.
Colts: 3-7
Titans: 2-7
Jaguars: 4-6
Texans: 2-8
Everyone of you know the Colts will win the AFC South.
I also have teal glasses on, but I do think the Jaguars have the easiest schedule remaining out of all four teams. This bye week came at a perfect time. Bring in some defensive help via trade, get Lee/Thomas/Marks/Greene healthy, and let's go all out against the Jets.
Why has this not been moved to the "Deleted Posts" section yet.
We're 0-2 in the division though. That makes the remaining division games huge. The AFC games against the Ravens, Jets and Chargers could be important if it comes down to tiebreakers.
0-2 in the division, we have some hay to make.
Don't forget to account for the Zebras who will aid the clots in some major game-time decisions...
IF (BIG IF) the team can carry some momentum, build on the positives and light a fire under their butts to correct even just some of the stupid issues, I could see (optimistically) 6 wins coming through the remainder of the schedule.
Again, very optimistic. Basically, they have to keep doing well what they have done well... And stop finding idiotic ways to lose games. VERY OPTIMISTIC a but 6 wins in the next 9 games with losses to the Jets, Chargers and Falcons.
Colts, we can beat. Texans and Titans we SHOULD beat. Ravens and Saints, just a matter of who does and doesn't show up for both teams.

Yes, the Jags look to have a pretty easy schedule remaining, unfortunately Gus Bradley is the
easiest HC in the entire NFL to out scheme and out coach.
He will have to really really improve as a HC during the bye week or this season, as easy as that schedule looks, will once again, not end well for the Jags.
I just don't feel like he is capable of out coaching and out scheming other NFL head coaches. Sure he could win a game or 2, maybe even 3 if the Jags get a few breaks, but I haven't seen anything yet that makes me believe he could actually win more then that as a HC.
Come on Gus, prove me wrong and find a way to win some of these "winnable" games left on the schedule after the bye.

They probably should, but they're in the midst of a complete implosion.
