If the defense that has shown up the past few weeks, played like this earlier on this year when the offense was really clicking, the Jags would have a much better record. And probably be in the mix of things for the playoffs. It looks like they are continuing to start to gel as the team plays another competitive game.

I would have liked to have seen the Jags get a win here. I just can't support the rooting for losing mentality that a lot of fans have embraced. That feels slimy IMO. A lot of times that sort of thing doesn't work out anyway. And the Jets are just having a really rough year and it's a strong possibility they are going to get the #1 pick regardless of what the Jags do. I'm not sure who the Jets are going to beat on their remaining schedule. Maybe the Patriots, but that's not a given as the Patriots are still in the mix of things. I could see the Jags beating the Bears and for some reason maybe the Colts again.

Anyway the Jags are so far behind almost everyone (except the Jets) that I don't see them picking any later than #3, but I think they will more than likely pick #2 (with a slimmer chance of getting #1).
