Quote:Obviously, nobody is expecting a huge upset. Anyone who does predict that has probably already been called an idiot. However, that does not mean watching the game on Sunday is a waste of our time. Pay attention to our execution. Is everyone showing effort all day or are some guys giving up when they get far behind? Are they treating this game like a preseason game or playing like they believe it is possible to win? Will playing against their former coach (JDR) and teammate (Terrance Knighton) affect them? In other words, look for a real attempt to win this game against all odds. If we don't believe we have a chance to win even the hardest game of the year, we will show that in how we play and make a lot of stupid mistakes that only make the game worse.

 

Mind you, I am not saying have more faith in winning or keeping the score close. I know that is very hard to do after seeing four blowout losses and a 14-point loss. But that pessimism is not an option for the Jaguars players. They have to believe they can do what most people say is impossible. While we don't need the faith, they certainly do to even look decent on the field.

 

It also is important to focus not on the scoreboard, but how Denver is scoring and we are not. Which positions or players are the biggest culprits? Is anybody playing decent considering who the opponent is? When we struggle, is it mostly us being bad, Denver being good, or a combination of both? That is how we should watch the game, since we all know we need a miracle to pull off an upset.
