Quote:You figure top 5 D + top 15 O = only 8-8 with a fairly easy schedule? Hmm

Being the 15th ranked offense isn't exactly stellar. 

And what do you mean "fairly easy schedule"? We have NO IDEA what the teams on our schedule will play like. I count 5 of our 8 wins coming against the AFCS.

The combined records of the opponents are 116-140 (.453)[which is watered down by the tinhorns and a Redskins team that won't be a 13 loss team this season]. The Jaguars will face three teams that finished the 2013 regular season with double-digit victories (Indianapolis Coltstwice, Cincinnati Bengals and Philadelphia Eagles) and will face three teams that finished with double-digit losses (Houston Texans twice [will we sweep them again?], Cleveland Browns and Washington Redskins[like I said, they won't be a 3-13 team again]). 

The Jaguars will face four teams that made the playoffs in 2013: Indianapolis (twice), San Diego Chargers, Cincinnati and Philadelphia. Only one of those games is at home (Indianapolis). 

 

We'll start slow but the Jags won't put a rookie in just because, Henne will be the QB when Blackmon comes back and we come on strong at the end of the season. Maybe start 2-4 or 3-5, finish 8-8, which I will gladly take.

 

Top 5 D and top 15 O doesn't always translate to wins. Didn't we have a top 5 D a couple seasons ago and still had the fewest sacks and won very few games?
