Hope the team is in a bubble not listening to any of it.

I work from home, so I usually have either ESPN or FS1 on as background noise.

Every single show, besides Nick Wright's First Things First refers to our beloved team as "The Jaguars" and never mention the QB.  

You realize how wild that is?  Think about how the national media refers to KC, Cincy, Baltimore, etc...  They always refer to the QB while mentioning those teams.  Trust me, the national media still do not respect Jacksonville or this team or it's QB.

The narrative of the Cowboys v. Jaguars over the last 24 hours was that the Cowboys lost the game.  The highlights that they show of the game while discussing our win are all Cowboys related.  They show very few Trevor Lawrence passes.  It's wild, man.

But the media still really hasn't come aboard the Lawrence train, believe it or not.  Yeah, they'll give him lip service, "Lawrence is coming along" - yada yada yada-.  But they aren't giving him the recognition as a franchise QB that they gave to Burrow when he was on the asscension.  Think about the love and adoration Burrow and Herbert have gotten as they became national news.  Lawrence hasn't gotten to that point yet.

We're still under the radar, believe it or not.

It's gping to be a nasty night. Jags O line and Run defense better come to play because I don't know if the pass game is going to be able to do much in that weather. Hopefully trevor is practicing with a wet ball all week because we can't have a repeat of the ball security issues we saw in Philly. Zach wilson is NOT going to be able to throw in that weather. Guy can barely throw in perfect conditions. Game may end up a 13-10 type of game.

While I agree that our Run D is gonna have to be stout, and that our running game on offense also needs to come to play...

Lawrence is great at the underneath stuff that goes 10 yards or less.  

As long as we don't turn the ball over and our D can pick off Zach Morris and keep their offense modest, we should be in position to potentially be successful.
