Critical Moment for Jags/ Week 2 Importance (merged)

#28

That being said, if they play well and lose a close game the team's hopes of winning the division are far from over and there's still a good chance they would win the next 2 games to go 3-1. If they play terrible and we see the "old Bortles" then all the fan excitement following the Texans' game will be gone (for good reason).

Which of these 3 scenerios is most likely? I can't see this game being decided by more than 7 points. Tennessee has to consider this almost a "must win" game and will be desperate for a win. The Jaguars defense is for real and will keep the team in every game. The outcome should come down to turnovers and special teams. Myers must make his kicks and Bortles needs to "take care of the ball." If these 2 things happen, the Jaguars should win a low-scoring game 20-17. 

Our fans have "suffered" long enough. For that reason, a win this week will magnify the city's excitement to a level not seen since we destroyed the Dolphins in the first round of the 1999 playoffs. To go further, if they open up 4-0 the city atmosphere will rival the end of the 1996 season when the team was all anyone would talk about!

If this week is a must win for the titans then what was week sixteen for them last season?
