Is the Fix In?

It's not impossible nor improbable. You could make the argument that the NFL could begin, if not already, favoring our team. For a number of reasons.

1. Khan is a minority owner. The NFL has gone the "woke" route before. Would only help their cause in the long run.

2. Lawrence was billed as a generational talent coming out of college and the NFL wouldn't want a talent like that to fall apart on their level.

3. Pederson already won a Championship and it's possible a headline in February could read "The Jaguars lead by Pederson will face off against his former Eagles team".

4. New stadium renovations are in the works and nothing gets public support and financial backing like a winning, and not only winning, but, exciting product.

With that said. Sometimes teams just get hot and luck has a lot to do with that. I don't think I need to remind everybody just how [BLEEP] lucky the Jaguars have been all season. Stealing victories over the Ravens and Cowboys was exceptionally difficult to pull off. Yet, they did it. Have to remember. Lawrence got hammered and the ball was fumbled late in the 4th quarter. We got a second chance and he delivered there.

You look at the Chargers game last Saturday. It was an improbable comeback. Certainly one for the ages. However, whether we like it or not. It IS the Chargers. They have a running gag about "Chargering it up" when they have these leads. All this team did all season was rally late and win games in an improbable fashion. They did it to the Vegas Raiders. And, again, the Raiders did that ALL year on their end. The fumble for a TD against ARZ. The collapse against Saturday and the clots. Our game, etc.

Sometimes teams are just very, VERY lucky and some teams are just very, VERY unfortunate. There's a reason we all call out to the "Football Gods". We've all had occurrences in our lives I am sure where luck was involved or a series of unfortunate events really tripped your whole life up. Same universal law and principle applies in sports and other facets of life.

Sometimes guys are just a little bit more lucky than the next. Maybe Lawrence is just [BLEEP] lucky man. Maybe Pederson is just lucky. I don't care. I'll take it. Even during our dumpster fire years? This team was notorious for what? Winning games they shouldn't against competition that would be in the play-off's or playing down to competition that left you shaking your head.
