As someone pointed out the Jags need to get creative and not be afraid of going for big plays. You gotta mix it up. Run the football, sling it, and mix in a good amount of play action. Once you become predictable, you're done.
 
If Jax plays with the same mentality they did against Pit, they have a very good chance of winning this game. Bortles showed serious balls, and he needs to carry that into Sunday. The problem for you is the Patriots will be talking up Jacksonville all week, saying how great they are and how difficult the match up will be. There will be no bulletin board material and so the Jags will somehow have to figure out a way to play with that massive chip on their shoulders regardless.
 
Regarding penalties. The perception that the Pats “get all the calls” is simply not true. It stems from hatred and jealousy of our most heated rivals (Pit, Bal, NYJ, Buf, Den, Ind.. the list goes on). In fact defensive backs hold Gronk on almost every play and it’s hardly ever called. Jax will need to do this as well.
 
Just wanted to share a few thoughts on the matter. Good luck Sunday, I will be there hoping for a great game with everyone getting out of it healthy. If the Jags do pull this off I will be rooting for you in the super bowl regardless of who they play. I have lurked on several team boards and not blowing smoke but this is so far the best fan base I've come across. Some of these other teams’ fans are filled with the most psychologically tormented souls I’ve ever seen. Obviously most of you hate the Pats, but it's not even close in comparison.
