Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the point of the Superbowl to get the two best teams in? Doesn't the regular season start in September, with the Superbowl being played in February? Can someone please explain to me why games are not weighted beginning in week 8? This just doesn't make any sense. To any rational person, games in September should be worth .25% of a full game, games in October .50%  of a full game and then in November and, this number would jump to games being worth 200%. Following this trend, games would then be worth 400% in December.  If the NFL would adopt this formula, the Jags would have come out of September with an 0-1 (four losses at .25%) record, would have been 0-3 (four losses at .50% plus Septembers record) after the month of October, but after playing well when it really matters, we would have been 6-4 after the month of November and after winning the first Sunday in December, we now really should be 10-4 utilizing my proposed formula. I know this is thinking a little bit outside of the box, but It is just so stupid that games in September count as much as games in December. So the Chiefs were hot in September - would they really want to play the Jags at this juncture?

 

All of this being said, it is what it is. The Jags have been among the most dominant teams in football the past month. You just don't go into Tennessee and dominate, hold court at home over the Texans, and then go into Cleveland and spank a red hot Browns team. We should win out and of course be the team in the play offs that no one wants to play against.

 

Finally and most importantly - has anybody checked the Ponce De Leon Cup standings as of late?  Things are looking up a the Jags have moved into first place:

 

Ponce De Leon Cup Standings:

 

Jacksonville 3-9

Tampa Bay 3-9

Miami 6-6 (ineligible - bullying)

Tie Breaker: Points scored vs. the KC Chiefs

 

Tonights game is very important in our quest for the cup - so cheer often and cheer loud. Go Jags!!!
