Quote:The point being this: The Raiders are a couple of lucky breaks away from having our record (or worse). They aren't going out and dismantling teams. They're winning on last minute heroics (sound familiar?) and gutsy playcalling on 4th down. It seems to me that you're doing exactly what your arguing against only in the opposite direction. Abandon hope all ye who enter here...

 

I get not trusting the team to be able to execute but let's not make it seem like Oakland = New England. They are most assuredly beatable by our Jaguars.

 

 

Stop.  Just stop.  That argument is getting old VERY quickly.

 

It works both ways.  We are literally 2 plays away from being 0-5 using the same logic.

 

No one is even coming CLOSE to saying Oakland = New England.  They don't HAVE to be in order to realistically say they are better than the Jaguars.

 

For 3 quarters, the Jags were completely neutered against the Bears.  Have you seen how inept that team is?

 

Either way... Sunday will be here soon, and what happens will happen.  Believe me... I'd love for the Jags to come out, finally get it all clicking and dominate the game.  That'd be wonderful!  To have the team FINALLY play up to their potential!?  Hell yeah.

 

If I were a betting man, however... my money wouldn't be on the Jags.  (Which sucks, because as a fan I WANT to expect them to win every game)
