But defensively, when we are on our game, I know we can disrupt Brady, and that is the key to beating the Pats.

I am absolutely with you on feeling like a cynic.

These people have been picking against the Jags all season and then when they play the greatest QB of all time, they finally pick them? Gimme a break. Jags are underdogs and everyone is betting against them.

All the guys that picked the Jags on the NFLN are former players. McGinest & Terrell Davis were the only ones who picked the Pats.

When the other players gave TD grief about it, he stated the only reason they had picked the Jags is because they had all spent their entire careers losing to the Pats and rarely even won a game against them.

No change from prior years. I can understand their hope and frustration, wanting someone to take the Pats down.

I think, if the Jags do win, the same guys will show max respect to the Jags and won't be making excuses on how they did it.
