No excuse for the D level effort from the Jaguars but there aren't many teams that scare me for their level of play and capability. The play on the field is sloppy and the lack of practice time means the teams take until mid-season to separate in their play.

I am not going to count last year's collapse against the 0-4 start. That gives the front office a big Fat F. This year is on the players and coaches.

A lot of teams are either losing or winning in similar fashion. Kanas City is not off to some white hot start, they're figuring out how to win though. The Bills got their reverse uno card from the Ravens last night after they beat the hell out of our team last Monday. The Eagles, Cowboys and 49ers are all struggling. 

The Commanders are ascending. The Jets couldn't beat the Broncos yesterday, and they missed a FG last minute that would have clinched the win in a really ugly overall contest for both teams. The Saints went from white hot to cooling off quickly now. There's a lot of different things going on right now in the NFL.

Quality is down across the board. Bill Cowher made a good point as a former coach and called out the obvious. This is the result of how soft the NFL has become with cutting back a preseason game and adding a regular season game into the fold. This is the result of being less and less physical preparation wise leading up into the actual contests that count.

At some point? In October? This is where the good rosters with the great enough players will start getting the rust off completely and figuring things out. This team still has twelve weeks left to figure it out, with a bye week baked in. I haven't lost faith yet. I still believe they can turn it around once they start getting healthier on defense and the offense gels better with the line play, etc. 

It's only a matter of time. Just hoping they can get it figured out in time to make another run like they did in 2022. Don't count this team out yet. I think it's a mistake. Even with what the odds and history books say.
