I’ve always stuck to my guns that Cam and Jawan are just fine. A good QB cleans all that oline stuff up.

0 sacks allowed today

Robinson and Etienne rushed for 145 yards and 1 TD

Marvin with his usual 33

If the team keeps playing at this level, at the least we'll be division champs.

Oh yeah. Wildcard at worse.

My original prediction was 6 wins, 7 if we stay mostly heathy, 8 if the football gods smile upon us.

I wouldn't shift it by more than a game in the good direction, because this whole thing could crumble rapidly with the wrong injury or two.

Great to feel confident that we'll compete in damn near every game though.

The QB is real, the coaches are real, the defensive talent is real, the weekly prep/scheme/game-plan/execution is real.
Things are looking up.

this right here.

It's so nice not to default immediately to "how bad we gonna lose by" when we're not facing the cellar of the league. The coaches have the team prepared and confident, and they are executing in near perfect fashion the past two weeks. Neither win was a fluke, or lucky twist of fate, they were both systematic dissections of formidable opponents.

I'm not shifting expectation, I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy the show. It's a good one.

It’s very rare to get production from 2 first round draft picks. The last time it happened was 1998 Taylor and Darius. But you could also make a case for Lawrence and Etienne.

Cam Robinson and Jawan Taylor with another text book game.

Robinson and Taylor gave up 0 sacks against Khalil Mack and limited time Joey Bosa.

...was I the only one that freaked early when Taylor jumped? Ended up a neutral zone infraction on the D, but all I saw was a stationary line and Taylor 3 yards downfield, and expected this to be the beginning of a long day.

He's probably the most pleasant surprise of the season thus far.

I originally predicted 7 wins for this team.



After week 1, I remained with the 7 win prediction.  Despite losing, I felt like we looked like a 7-10 team.



After week 2, I was tempted to increase my prediction.  However, I hate reading too much into one win.  I stayed with my prediction, but felt much more confident that we would get at least 7 wins.



After week 3, I'm now starting to drink the kool aid.  One game is a fluke, but two fluke games?  Possible, but much less likely.  We didn't just win but won convincingly last week.  I'm increasing my prediction to 9 wins.  We have 14 games remaining.  We would need to go 7-7 in those games to get to 9.  When I look at our schedule, it seems reasonable:



Eagles - This is a tough game against the undefeated Eagles and the game will be played in Philadelphia.  However, it is just one game.  Even in this game, the Eagles are favored by less than a touchdown. 


Texans - They are 0-2-1 with one of their losses being to the Bears who I don't think are any good.  Their only non-loss was a tie against the Colts, the team we beat 24-0.

Colts - Yes, the next game will be on the road and they will likely have some players back from injury.  However, it is still largely the same team that we've already beaten 24-0.


Giants - I think they are improved compared to last year, but the Jaguars are more improved.  I don't think the Giants are a good team.

Broncos - Although 2-1, I think they are over-rated.  One of their wins was the Texans and the 49ers seemed to give their game to the Broncos.

Raiders - They are the only winless team in the NFL.  To be fair, they played those games close, so I think they are better than their record.  However, I still don't seem them as a particularly good team.

Chiefs - It's always tough to win in Kansas City, but I think the Chiefs have taken a step back this year.  They actually played the same teams as we did over the last two weeks.  The Chiefs beat the Chargers by only 3 points and they lost to the Colts.  Another way of looking at it is that the Chiefs' combined score was 44-44 in those two games while the Jaguars won 62-10.

Ravens - A very good team, but they are fallible at 2-1 and the game will be played in Jacksonville.

Lions - I think they are improved compared to last year, but the Jaguars are more improved.  I don't think the Lions are a good team.

Titans - I think they've taken a step back and have lost a couple of players to injury.  They lost at home to the Giants and got completely blown out by the Bills.  Their lone victory was against a winless team and that game came down to a missed 2 point conversion.

Cowboys - A good team, but also fallible at 2-1 and the game will be played in Jacksonville.

Jets - Not a good team.

Houston - See earlier.

Titans - See earlier.

Again, I'm not saying we are winning every one of those games, but 7-7 feels realistic.

Nah, 17-0 BABY!

I am shocked with how complete this team looks. 

Trevor- run game - o line - playmakers

Pass rush- linebackers- just enough in secondary.


Special teams -turnover margin -penalties - and  overall coaching


I was hoping for 6-8 wins at the beginning of the year. 

But if we can stay healthy (knock wood) and Trevor and the young d continues to improve are we the best team in this division? 

I am eating crow right now Trent Baalke obviously all of our off-season moves looks so far to have hit big and completely changed this team. 


I am still a little weary from decades of losing but I am so excited right now it’s hard not to think we have turned the corner!

It's time for us to let the past go. Our future is now and YES, our Jaguars are looking Much Better in 2022. My expectations are real BUT they're also unknowns because of the long term unknown. We have a team in the making and this team has True Potential.

Time Will Tell.

16-1 until proven otherwise

---

If we win this weekend, which is doubtful, I will say we win 11/12 games.

If we lose I still say 8/9 wins which may be enough to win this division, especially if we can sweep the Texans and split the titans

---

I think we still should have been better last season.
Our thought was how close we were with Minshew. Trev was gonna put us over the hump.
The urban Meyer disaster set us back a year. I think the pendulum might have just swung back in our favor quite strong.
Yeah we still lack quality depth, but that's the only actual weakness of this team I've seen.
I think a 10 win season wouldn't surprise at this point. I would have laughed at that notion at the end of last season.

I agree with that.  Right now, I think we will lose this weekend, and wind up the season with 9 wins.  That's up from my previous prediction of 7 wins.  

Injuries could have a drastic effect.  I don't think our backups are very good.

I was looking at the 7 - 9 win range once they hired Pederson. IF they beat the Eagles this Sunday? I expect them to win at least 10 - 11 games this year, which would give them the division win more than likely and possibly even a shot at the 3rd seed if the AFC West continues to struggle or the AFC North gets more balanced and competitive towards the stretch. There's some games where they could technically get a higher seed if they manage to beat Baltimore, Miami, Kansas City, etc.

This team looks different. They're flying to the football on defense. Not making a lot of mental errors. Protecting the football. Lawrence is getting the ball in and out out of his hands and the coaching staff is making adjustments on a weekly and midgame basis. It's hard not to like this football at the moment. And, again, if they beat the Eagles?

Mannnnnnnnnnnnnn. DUVAL fixin' to be back on the MAP BABY!!!!!

That's fair.  It is early and hard to know who will and will not be a good team this year.  

One thing I would add is that I think the Jaguars are a team that is likely to improve as the year progresses.  There is a lot of youth.  We have three rookies starting.  We also have three second year players (including a quarterback) starting.  This doesn't include ETN, who while not a starter, is a major role player.  He's in his second year, but missed all of last year with injury, so he's like a rookie as well.  We then have a bunch of players new to the team.  Everyone is also learning a new offensive/defense with a new coaching staff.  It feels like this team should be projecting upward.

My concern is the same as many others.  I don't think we have great depth.  Injuries could derail this team.  Injuries are hard to predict.
