Quote:If you look at the standings, the Texans are 4-3 in first place and we are 2-4 in last place.  So we are one game behind in the loss column with 10 games to play.  

 

In my opinion, there is a lot of talent on this team, and if they could ever get things together, they could win a lot of games. 

 

I think this is why we will not see a coaching change in the immediate future.   Shad Khan said he expects winning football this year, and right now, we're 2-4 with 10 games to play. 

 

The unsportsmanlike conduct penalties in the last game are not really a bad sign.   They are a sign of anger and frustration.   That's better than just lying down and accepting things.  The players are angry.  That's probably a good thing. 

 

I'm probably just getting my hopes up so they can be crushed again. 

 

But seriously.  We are are not out of this thing by a long shot. 

You're right; mathematically, we're still in contention. However, if you look at our remaining schedule...

tacks...(W/L)

chiefs...(L)

texicans...(L)

lions...(W/L)

bills...(L)

broncos...(L)

vikings...(L)

texicans...(W/L)

tacks...(W/L)

colts...(W/L)

Honestly, how many of those games do you think we have a legitimate shot at winning given how we're looking? We 'might' split with the tacks and colts, maybe (if we're lucky) even with the texicans. We might get lucky with the lions too, but that's about it. That's only five victories out of sixteen games, a 5-11 record, another losing season. It's all the more frustrating given that most agree that the Jags have more than adequate talent on the field now to be contenders... with the possible notable exception being at the quarterback position. I say 'possible' cause it's still possible that Bortles could wake up from this funk he's in and start playing the kind of football we've seen from him before. If that happens real soon, we might do better than 5-11. Otherwise, we very well may do worse than 5-11.
