During those last few games, a lot of people said we were dominating teams that had no quarterback.  But then the last game, they had a very highly regarded quarterback, Justin Herbert.  We even gifted them 5 turnovers and still won the game.  

All of which brings me to the big question: are we actually better than we seem to be?  For example, if we hadn't had a -5 turnover margin against the Chargers, what would the score have been?  After we quit turning the ball over, we were unstoppable.  

I can't read anyone else's mind on this, of course, but I'm starting to think maybe I'm underrating this team.

To the bolded, the Jags seem to play better when the pressure is on (my lord. Did I just type that?)

The pressure was on at halftime and you saw how the Jags and Trevor responded. If they didn't have those 5 turnovers, who knows how that game plays out but I'm sure the playcalling would have been different which may not have led to as many points.
