Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the point of the Superbowl to get the two best teams in? Doesn't the regular season start in September, with the Superbowl being played in February? Can someone please explain to me why games are not weighted beginning in week 8? This just doesn't make any sense. To any rational person, games in September should be worth .25% of a full game, games in October .50%  of a full game and then in November and, this number would jump to games being worth 200%. Following this trend, games would then be worth 400% in December.  If the NFL would adopt this formula, the Jags would have come out of September with an 0-1 (four losses at .25%) record, would have been 0-3 (four losses at .50% plus Septembers record) after the month of October, but after playing well when it really matters, we would have been 6-4 after the month of November and after winning the first Sunday in December, we now really should be 10-4 utilizing my proposed formula. I know this is thinking a little bit outside of the box, but It is just so stupid that games in September count as much as games in December. So the Chiefs were hot in September - would they really want to play the Jags at this juncture?

 

All of this being said, it is what it is. The Jags have been among the most dominant teams in football the past month. You just don't go into Tennessee and dominate, hold court at home over the Texans, and then go into Cleveland and spank a red hot Browns team. We should win out and of course be the team in the play offs that no one wants to play against.

 

Finally and most importantly - has anybody checked the Ponce De Leon Cup standings as of late?  Things are looking up a the Jags have moved into first place:

 

Ponce De Leon Cup Standings:

 

Jacksonville 3-9

Tampa Bay 3-9

Miami 6-6 (ineligible - bullying)

Tie Breaker: Points scored vs. the KC Chiefs

 

Tonights game is very important in our quest for the cup - so cheer often and cheer loud. Go Jags!!!

You are the one who makes no sense. There is no garbage NFL rule keeping us out of the playoffs. It is bad luck with the schedule: hard games before the bye week, easy games after it. We wouldn't look like the worst team in the NFL if our schedule was reversed.

Dominant? Maybe if we spanked the Seahawks, 49ers and Broncos we would be labeled as dominant, but we barely beat the Titans that basically handed the ball to us, Texans with an awful coaching staff, and the one man show Josh Gordon.

 

 

 

On the positive side, if you look away from the teams that we've played, we're actually hanging around with dominant teams at 3-1 in the second half. Hope we go 4-1 after tonight, go jags!

That's a ridiculous way to think. Those three wins were far from easy. The Texans are the same Texans team that went 12-4 last year and made the final four of the AFC in the playoffs, the same Titans team who was 4-4 and one game out of first in the south before we spanked them and started them on their downward spiral, and the same Cleveland Browns team who placed Joe Thomas and Phil Dawson onto the prestigious AFC pro bowl roster in 2012. The only reason we lost to the Chiefs was because we were nervous and then the reason we lost to the Raiders and Seahwawks is the NFL made us stay on the upper west coast for a reason. It took us a while to bounce back from that start but look what has happened since!

Hasn't Miami been cleared of the bullying charges?  Seems like someone within the Tampa Bay Buccaneers decided they could get the Ponce De Leon Cup easily this year by disqualifying the Miami Dolphins with accusations of bullying.  The evidence is pretty clear, as the Buccaneers obviously had the most to gain with a suspension of Incognito -- after all, they beat the Dolphins during the game in which Incognito was suspended.  Which helped keep them in the race with the Jaguars.

I was wrong about Trent Baalke.

Nothing funny about the Jags big guy. And no i'm not on drugs - are you?

A Ponce De Leon Trophy to add to the stacked case at Everbank would be nice, but I still think we are in the hunt for the title!  GO JAGS!
