I’m not sure how many times I’ve seen opposing fans say that our defense is overrated despite having better stats than many all-times defenses.

The offense is 6th in the NFL and Bortles hasn’t been to shabby this year. You guys clearly haven’t watched us play this year (who would blame you) because it seems pretty unanimous among you guys that you think all you have to do to win is make Bortles throw. We’re 3-0 without our starting RB. 

I have no doubt that’s Belichick is prepared, but the Pats fans have overlooked this team’s capabilities and I think it may surprise you tomorrow.

There was nothing smug or incendiary about my comments.  And I certainly haven't minimized the talent on the Jaguars, though I question whether they have enough on both sides of the ball to prevail!  So why the lecture?

I gave the reasons I thought you were wrong. I wonder how you can view mine as a lecture after your post. It’s a simple response to your comment. Of the reasons you can critique the Jags, talent isn’t one of them... on either side of the ball. The more you guys post, the more it becomes clear that you haven’t watched them play. 

I’m in no way confident we’ll beat you, but if we play generally mistake free, I think it should a whole lot closer than you think it’ll be.
