As to your closing question...heck yeah  I'm ready!

Please don't take this as bragging because it's not my intent...

Rarely, do teams outright beat the Patriots. When a team wins 12-14 games year in and year out. It was like this in the early 90s with Dallas. KC did on opening night and in the, "We're on to Cincinnati game. Dolphins do it now and then. Jets in the playoffs a few years ago. Falcons in last year's SB until the 4th quarter. Those are some examples quickly off the top of my head when NE just got beat. The Jags have a defense that can be great, but they've also had some stinkers too. 

It's going to depend on which Bortles shows up. The one that played Buffalo or the one the beat the lowdown, dirty, Steelers. NE has only given up 14 points/game over the last 12 games. It's really good too.

I am curious when you became a fan of the Pats? Convient to leave out Panthers and KC from your team defense. Honestly though looking at the scores, yeah your defense has played better than I remembered. Does look like scrambling QBs give them trouble.  I am looking forward to the end of the Pat reign and I hope we can ccntribute with our mediocre QB. 

Not much longer now. Go Jags!
