Quote:I like to look at a season in quarters, and I was wrong with my first quarter prediction.  I had the Jaguars winning at least one in the first quarter of the season.

 

The second quarter of the season is coming up, and IIRC my initial thoughts were that we could come out at least 2-2.  One of the losses that I was predicting was against the Steelers.

 

After watching and looking at how things are progressing, I have a "gut feeling" that we are going to see our first win this weekend.

 

We have seen a change at QB, some changes on the O-line and some changes in the DEF secondary.

 

I don't have much to back up what I think and feel, but for some reason I feel that this weekend we are going to see our first win.  I'm also going to go out on a limb and say that the win is going to be decisive, as in, not a close game at all.

 

Just a few key thoughts of mine.

 

1.  The offense is playing better and we get Austin Pasztor back.

2.  The defense is "on the carpet" and taking notice that nobody's job is safe.

3.  Ace Sanders is back, and it's not "if" but "when" he takes a punt to the house.

4.  Pittsburgh lost to a win less Tampa Bay team.  This shows that they are not the "dominant team" that they used to be.

5.  3 of 4 games that the Jaguars have played in the first quarter of the season have been on the road.  We are the home team this week, and there is a slight "home field advantage" in play.

 

Something in my gut tells me that we are going to see something special on Sunday.  My prediction...

 

Jaguars 27

Steelers 10
