Quote:Well, yes, there are still 13 games left in the regular season.  That is a mathematical fact.

 

Yes, theoretically, the Jaguars can turn it around to the point where a winning season is salvageable.

 

At this point, do I think they will?  No. 

 

I sure hope I am wrong, though.

 

I hope you're wrong too.

 

Let's take a look at the upcoming schedule within the division.  Looking at the next 5 weeks...

 

Jacksonville

Current Record 0-3

 

Colts - win - This is truely a "must win" game.

Bye

Bears - win - This is a should win game.

Raiders - loss - The only reason I list this as a loss is because it's the best team that we play in this stretch.

Titans - win - This is not only a should win game but almost a must win game considering that it's a divisional opponent.

 

After this stretch realistically the record is 3-4 at that point.

 

Houston

Current Record 2-1

 

Titans - win - I just don't see the Titans winning, even without JJ Watt out for the Texans.

Vikings - loss - The Vikings are actually playing well despite losing key players.

Colts - win - I gave them the win here because this is a home game for them.  Realistically at this point it could go either way.

Broncos - loss - Enough said.

Lions - loss - Actually this game could really go either way, but I'm hoping for the loss.

 

After this stretch that would put their record at 4-4.

 

Tennessee

Current record 1-2

 

Texans - loss - See my comments above.

Dolphins - loss - Miami has a better offense and the game is in Miami.

Browns - win - It's the Browns.

Jaguars - loss - By this point the Jaguars should hopefully be on a roll, though this game is played in Nashville.

Colts - loss - Playing back-to-back divisional games will hurt them.  I still think that the Colts are the better team.

 

After this stretch that would put their record at 2-6

 

Indianapolis

Current record 1-2

 

Jaguars - loss - Again, I do think that the Jaguars will turn their season around this week.

Bears - win - They can win here I'm sure.

Texans - loss - I give them a loss here because the game is in Houston.  Honestly at this point, I think it could go either way.

Titans - win - This is another game that can go either way.  Refer to my above comments.

Chiefs - loss - I think that the Chiefs will have "turned it on" by this point.

 

After this stretch that would put their record at 3-5.

 

So potentially the upcoming schedule for the division could put us in contention to push for the division lead half way through the season.
