Jacksonville at Minnesota (8-18-18)

[BloodyChamp]

Ok let's look at 3 games where 2 future HoF quarterbacks put some stats up against them. They still won 2 of those games and 1 of them was a defensive clinic. So 2 bad games statistically vs 15 good games statistically (14 regular season games plus 1 playoff game...the Titans and 49ers game were bad defensive games) no thanks to their offense. That's not what I'd call overrated.

I just noticed the Jags gave up on the goofy 2-tone helmets.

Yes you would.

 

..When you look at 2017 Jacksonville defensively...look at the times they faced backup QBs..during the regular season (including 4 games vs. Colts, Houston)

..and then look at the bath they took in the last 2 playoff games.

 

If OUR team (whoever that may be) was solid defensively all year (statistically No. 1 in the AFC) and then gave up exactly 889 yards and 66 points in 2 playoff games....(we don't even want to talk about the 380 yards and 44 points they gave up in week 16 at S-F) we would most definitely say they were overrated....we would be shouting it.

If we're being honest, that is the definiton of 'overrated'.

Kai Forbath will be cut. The rookie kicker Carlson is looking great in camp and in games. He made all the FGs last week, including a 56 or 57 yarder.

 

As predicted, Kai was cut today.

I know the Jags are the division rival but you're trying way to hard Unc. The Colts can't even do well enough to be called overrated, and when they were it was OMG COACH NEVER HAD A LOSING SEASONZZZZ!!!!!!

 

Even the 85 Bears had a hiccup against the Dolphins. The Jags had 2...3 if you count the Pats game 4 if you count the Steelers game which they won...in the year two thousand offenseteen. And they have the stats to back it up. I'm not really a stat guy but I wouldn't call anybody who leads statistically and wins at the same time overrated.

Jax has to figure out why New England and Pittsburgh shredded their defense in the post-season.

..and what that means when they face DeShawn Watson and Andrew Luck this year.

 

Pittsburgh did but the Pats did not. Brown just made some serious tight window catches in that game. They squeaked by with 24 points, which is low by the Patriots standards, and if not the Jags protecting Bortles and going conservative on offense, and on defense, on a critical 3rd and 18 to that completion to Amendola, that defense would have come through, IMO.

I hope the REFS don't Ref like this all season because they have been awful. That last Sack by the Vikings wasn't even close to Roughing the Passer. 19 overall Penalties is a joke.

 

That bogus call cost the player a $24K+ fine. That is ridiculous. 

 

Vikings Player Fined for "Roughing the Passer"
