I see potential, but we already know there is potential there.  I want to see urgency and a balanced rushing attack.  Have seen some bad throws this preseason.  Red zone has me worried.  We won't win with a shaky kicking game.  This is a game where even if we're still bad we should still have a shot to win.  But, we also tend to play down to the opponent and get run out of town.  Hopefully Pederson can give us a reason to believe.  I just hope we don't beat ourselves.  Don't make the game more difficult than it is.  Fully prepared for the Jags to look like a train wreck so we can be removed from any talk of resurgence.  Then we spank the Colts at home.

Look at the bright side.  Trevor is only 22 years old, and even the best QBs make bad throws on occasion.  Sure, he was off target a few times, but it just occurred to me that I don't remember him making any stupid throws.  At 22 years old, most QBs are still making the occasional head-scratching-what-the-hell-was-he-thinking-on-that-play kind of throw.  Hopefully he keeps it up and improves his accuracy - I believe he rushes a throw occasionally and doesn't set his feet, resulting in an overthrow.  That's very fixable.
Another positive for the starting offense - not one punt in the preseason.  Definitely they need to get better in the red zone, but that is the hardest part of the field to move the ball effectively and is typically the last part of an offense to come together.  Hopefully it does in fact come together.
And the first team defense looked really good most of the time they were out there.

I get it though.  As much as I like to consider the positives, I can't really get excited for the team until I see it on the field either.

I say Trevor throws for 2 and Etienne and JRob have 1 each

4 TDs by the offense?  That would put Jaguarmeister in play too. lol
