Quote:I still maintain a glimmer of hope that the Jaguars can repeat what they did in '96 when they had the same 4-7 record by winning out and making the Playoffs. It's never likely for this to happen, but the Jaguars are good enough to win each of their remaining games. They just have to focus and not shoot themselves in the foot like they're so prone to doing, and they absolutely have to fix their red zone issues on both sides of the ball this week.


 

SImply put, win out and the Jaguars are in the playoffs. It's not mathematically guaranteed, but it should happen. Lose a game, and maybe their still in provided the game is against the Saints or Falcons. They certainly can't lose a division game.


 

At this point it seems a long shot, but beat the Titans on the road and the Colts at home, and suddenly everything looks bright again. They absolutely have to get to 6-7 (do this much and Gus' job is safe), then at least beat either the Saints or Falcons, and then beat the Texans in Houston. That last game looms looks especially tough right now, but things might change between now and then.
