Well here we sit at 1-3 in the first quarter of the season.  Honestly, this is where I figured we would be prior to the start of the season.  I had hoped to be 2-2 but figured we would probably be at 1-3.  I also think that many on this board, if they are being honest with themselves probably thought the same thing prior to the season.  Looking back at the first quarter.

 

Carolina - I thought that this was a possible win, and wasn't real surprised with the outcome.

 

Miami - I pretty much had this pegged as a close game and a possible win.  The outcome was kind of as I expected, a close game.

 

@ New England - I didn't expect to win this game, though I was disappointed that it wasn't closer.

 

@ Indianapolis - I didn't really expect to win this game at the start of the season, however given the injury situation of Andrew Luck, I am disappointed in the loss.

 

Going into the second quarter of the season the team has a tough schedule, but not quite as tough as the first quarter of the season.  Here is my thought regarding the second quarter.

 

@ Tampa Bay - This will not be an "easy" game by any means, especially with the Jaguars coming off a nasty loss on the road to NE and a disappointing loss to Indy.  However, I do see this as a probable win.

 

Houston - Once again, this will not be an "easy" game by any means.  Keep in mind that we do host the Texans, but they will have a "mini-bye" after their Thursday night game this week, so they will be rested.  I would mark this game as a "could win" depending on injury/health issues on both teams.

 

*Buffalo - even though this is "technically" a home game, it's really a road game across the pond in London.  Historically, the Jaguars have not done well in London and Buffalo is looking pretty good this season.  I predict this to be a loss.

 

bye

 

@ NY Jets - After a bye hopefully the Jaguars have enough key players rested and healthy for yet another road game.  The Jets aren't looking too bad this season and I see this as a probable loss.

 

First Quarter 1-3

Second Quarter 2-2 at best

 

So at the half of the season we should be at 3-5.
