Ramsey was playing, everyone was healthy, they had home field “heat” advantage, an offense that was moving the ball, and an offseason worth of time to study their opponent. 


I think it’s becoming increasingly clear the defense has entered “average territory” this year. I think they can fix the runs, but barring the unexpected we will probably end up with the worst defense we’ve had since 2015

It's trending towards that direction. I don't see them winning at home against the Saints this weekend. Norv Turner schooled Todd Wash. I absolutely expect Sean Payton to school him too this weekend. After that though they've got a stretch of three games where they could and SHOULD win out. 

They should be able to beat the Bengals and Jets. Those two teams are competing for the number one overall pick this year with Miami by the looks of it. And then they get the tinhorns in London which should be an interesting game but based on the first match up this should be another game where if they all show up and do their [BLEEP] jobs on defense they'll come back to Jacksonville with a three game win streak to rest up for what looks to be a tough [BLEEP] Indy clots team. 

5 - 4 before the bye week. It's doable. I keep saying it but this team has a 1996 vibe to them. They'll get streaky hot and streaky cold this year. As Minshew gets more starts as a rook the game should continue to slow down a bit more for him. And hopefully he can improve on 3rd down's to keep this sorry [BLEEP] defense off the field.

Well that's the thing. The Jags got absolutely abused this Sunday on the ground so maybe they are fired up and actually put together a good defensive gameplan. Jack, Harrison and the LBs need to do a much better job next week and I think they will.

My main issue here is Lattimore. He has shut down Cooper and Evans the last two weeks and it's clear Chark is our #1.
