Really strong defensively, a tough, strong armed QB in Leftwich, 3 solid receivers in Williams, Jones and Wilford. If Taylor can stay healthy, whic we all know is a big if, he and Maurice Jones-Drew could be Bettis-Parkeresque. I've always thought that whenever a team is picked as the "it" team of the year, they'll do extremely well the next year. This year is the Panthers and if my theory is correct they'll do well but not great this year but will be elite next year. And last year alot of experts predicted the Jags to take the next step. We'll see but I think they could at least give the Colts some divisional competition.
I'm not. I already knew they were capable of play like this. they are so underrated that it's not funny. They are an awesome team, and I knew they would beat Pittsburgh.
They always play the Steelers tough, these two teams were in the same division and no every year they slug it out. Jacksonville is pretty good but lets seem win a playoff game. That idiot on espn is acting like they are a division 2 college team knocking off the top team in the country.
Another Interception. Jax has been good the past couple of years. I don't buy this underrated nonsense. They just don't get a ton of media coverage because of the market they're in. South Georgia isn't a big place, you know.
Wow. Anytime you can shut out the Defending Super Bowl champs on Monday Night Football.... that's what you call a Statement Game.
another 12-4 season followed by a first round playoff loss. yawn the jags are definately the worst successful team in the nfl.
I really hope they beat out the Colts. I'm so sick of the Colts in the playoffs. I want the Colts on the road and knocked out on the first Saturday of the postseason. I correctly called a 9-point Jacksonville win. Of course, I had it at 24-15, not 9-0.
I would kill to have on of those defensive tackles on this team. As long as they have those two beast in the middle. They are going to continue to dominate on D. Other then Mike peterson thier linebackers are average. Thier secondary is quite good also. Great pick up of b williams. Thier pass rush is beyond sick, hopefully our O line is loads better by that time.
I just noticed how absurd Leftwich's windup is. The dude throws from his hip and whips the ball. So weird...
Why did the upper deck of the game have two completely closed off sections? For MNF? That's ridiculous if they can't even pack their stadium
disagree. henderson is 6-7 325 lbs. Commands a double team every snap. him being in the middle would cause mayhem.
I'm not gonna take anything away from Jacksonville..Their defense played lights out. However the Steelers just came out flat. maybe it was Ben's quick comeback from his appendix surgery, or his 104 degree temperature. Maybe it was Santonio Holmes playing like a dumbass. Troy Polamalu wasn't his usual self. It was just a bad game by the Steelers. Having said that..Jacksonville played a damn good game. To only lose 9-0 in this situation, gives me high hopes for my team's chances this year.
