Season Predictions

#1

I usually like to break down the season into quarters when I predict games prior to a down being played.  Here is what I hope happens at the very least.

 

1st Quarter of the Season - Jaguars finish 1-3.

Hopefully we can sneak one game out of this series, and my "most likely" would be against the Redskins.  A "nice to win" game would be against the Colts.

 

2nd Quarter of the Season - Jaguars finish 3-1

Titans, Browns and Dolphins are possible wins here.  The Steelers are a different team than we are used to, but they are never to be taken lightly, and I can see us losing a close one in this series to them.

 

3rd Quarter of the Season - Jaguars finish 2-2 NOTE: Bye week halfway through this series.

Any of these games are certainly winnable, and it all depends on how teams are doing during this stretch of the season.  Icing on the cake during this stretch would be to pull off a win on the road against the Colts coming out of the bye.

 

4th Quarter of the Season - Jaguars finish 2-2

This is the toughest stretch on the schedule with 3 of 4 games being divisional games.  Again, it depends on how teams are playing down the final stretch.  The Ravens are a team not to be taken lightly, I think the Texans will be better than last year and we can never overlook the Titans.

 

Final record will be 8-8.

.500 should be the goal, and I think this team has it in them to go 8-8.  Maybe they surprise us and make things interesting late in the season. 


Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

I expect 6 wins. If bortles takes over before midway through the season, I could see an 8 win season. Overall, I'm just expecting a way more competitive team, where we are in the game until the 4th quarter.

I think I predicted 6-8 wins before the draft. I'll stick with that but believe the potential for more wins is pretty large, looking at this easy schedule, how good the D is going to be and other factors.

So what part of the schedule is "easy"?

6 wins with Henne at  QB all year.

 

7 wins with eight starts from Bortles.

If the Jaguars Offensive Line performs much better than it did in the pre-season,   8 or even 9 wins is a realistic possibility for the team.     Even if Blake Bortles remains on the bench.

 

Yet,  despite the Jaguars being a well coached,  well motivated team that has improved at a number of positions,   because of the questions on the Offensive Line,  I'm going to predict 6-10.   With a much better future ahead.

Can't make a guess. Injuries, and other factors make too difficult to venture a guess.

 

If someone held a gun to my head, I would likely say between 5-8 wins though.


What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

With Henne at the helm and a young OL to not open holes and get the QB smashed, they are good for 6 wins at best.  With Bortles, 7-8 wins is possible.

If the offensive line plays well.... this team might be able to get to 8 wins.  I'm still holding to 5-11...

I'm just hoping Chad gives us something special this year and makes me eat my words.

8-8 I think is a realistic expectation.

 

Less than that I will be disappointed.

A more competitive team will make me happy. That translates into wins. The arrow is definitely pointing up but 7-8 wins is what I'm thinking. No matter what, I'll always be a fan. I'm really looking forward to this season.
