I will be thrilled if you're right Mr. Spock.  A Jags win... even a low scoring 'ugly' win, would be great; but lets be logical...

Past performance is the best indicator of future performance...

That being said, I don't see enough 'upside' to the team right now to pull a victory over the Steelers.

 

*Bortles is good and the teams future... but Rothlesberger is an experienced super bowl veteran.

*while ridding the team of Guy may have removed the weakest 'link' in our secondary, we don't know if the 'chain' is stronger.

*Ace is back... returning punts. Yippie....

*Will the o-line be stronger? maybe.... or maybe not. You can count on the Steelers to put it to the test though, either way...

*will the d-line get to Rothlesberger enough to at least disrupt plays? They haven't since the 1st half of the Eagles debacle.

*it isn't just our secondary either and the Steelers know it. Our linebackers are slow.

 

The likely result is that we will face another disappointing home loss. We can only hope that it will not be another double digit blow out, regardless of the reason. I'm not a pessimist by nature, more of a realist. I generally listen to my head first rather than to my feelings...
