What at this point can save Gus' job? And on top of that, what could he do, if anything, that could make you feel comfortable with him coming back next year?


History would tell us that we will struggle in these games and lose many more than we win. And if we go 0-4 it only makes sense to move on mid season.


Then there's the issue of if the talent on the team pushes us to 7ish wins. No more blowouts but no convincing wins. There's a possibility they could give an extension, though I don't think anyone here would be comfortable with that.


Then there's another option. Granted the least likely. We come out here and blow out the Ravens. Defense starts clicking, offense starts moving the ball again, and we're winning 10ish games and a bunch in convincing fashion, never blown out again. Rattle off 5 or 6 wins in a row, beating good teams along the way. We make the playoffs and maybe even win the first round.


I'm going to hope for the last scenario. For me, if something like that happened, I'd feel Gus was able to coach this team properly.


My biggest fear however, is the second option. I really think we'll manage to win one of these next two, keeping Gus through the season.
 

 

The importance of this game isn't as great as it's being made out to be. Win or lose, this is not the game we'll remember unless it's epic in some fashion. Basically, this game is all about setting up their trip to London. If we lose, we'll be going into London 0-3, and the perception over there of the Jaguars as a loser will be greatly solidified. If we then go on to lose there, it would be catastrophic, and I could actually see Khan firing Gus. On the other hand, if we dominate the Ravens, we'll be traveling to a London fan base that's more excited than ever. A subsequent win in London would basically secure Gus' job for the season.


 

That said, regardless of what happens in London. the Colts results would likely have a similar impact. That is to say, pound the Ravens but then lose in London to the Colts, ...it's still not pretty and Gus might still get the ax. Or... lose to the Ravens but then beat the Colts in London. I feel that will go down as a corner turning moment wherein Gus is safe. The bottom line is, this is not truly a "must win" game ... the Colts game sure is though.
