4:25 EST....Jim Nantz and Tony Romo on CBS

Low 80s and sunny = over/under at 45

 

Jacksonville's 'Million Dollar Defense' gets another shot at NE's 'Shady' Tom Brady, the guy they failed to stop when it mattered in last years playoffs.

Jax star Leonard Fournette is questionable to play this week and Jax QB Blake Bortles is always questionable.

Big mouth Jax corner Jalen Ramsey will spend most of the game not covering NE star Rob Gronkowski

Pats 'D did give up 167 yards rushing (4.9 per carry) last week against Houston.

 

 

Jax should win this one but remember.   NBOJ    (Never Bet on Jacksonville)

The sure thing here seems to be the 'under'  Brady doesnt have many receivers and the Jaguars still have Bortles.

I've said before but again I love your write ups with a twist of humor. "Shady Tom" - gotta love consistency :)

Jags D now getting picked apart.

 

After the Patriots get this TD, the Jaguars will punt after 3 plays and then Brady will blow down the field for an easy tying TD just before halftime.

Can't you be wrong just one time? Brady isn't invincible.

Patriots had all that time to make adjustments, so Brady should come out and blow right down the field for an easy TD, taking less than 2 minutes off the clock.

 

Still looking like an easy Patriots win.

I see...some things never change

 

And I'm not talking about the Pats.  Lol, I think Maybe they're not quite the same.

You are a football traumatized Buffalo fan. You crack me up but the funny thing is you are often right.  lol   Life in the AFC East outside of New England will do that to you I guess.  I empathize with your Patriots frustration.

Punting and Jax will score again. This is the beginning of the end of the NE dynasty.

 

Usually the Patriots respond to games like these by going on a tear and getting to the Super Bowl. Even if Jacksonville wins they'd have to be flawless from here on out to get homefield over the Patriots in the playoffs. Patriots will still get the #1 seed and a laughable Divisional Round opponent in the playoffs.

I think Jax will finish somewhere like 14-2. There doing this without their star RB.

 

NE isn’t near as talented as usual. 

 

I like what Ballard/Reich are doing. I think Jax and Indy will be battling for years to come. We may be a tad behind this season. I think we could be better than Houston and Tennessee by seasons end.

I have Brady as my QB.  Lol, for the past 3 years, my QB, has been knocked out for the season, or just not done well. I thought I'd change my luck this year. .  Maybe I've jinxed him too.

Jags looking tough. :sigh:

 

You probably should have gotten Ryan Fitzpatrick as your quarterback.

    • Sure. I support that, too. What I don't get is people saying others need to stop discussing this subject or that people are ruining this message board by stating opinions they don't agree with.
    • I know this doesn't compare to your children, but I have genuinely put in an effort as well not to yell or get violent since I've got my Labrador Retriever 2 1/2 years ago. She is my life, and I always want her to be comfortable around me. I've finally got on some good medication that has lowered my outbursts, and I'm probably living a better life than I have since 2011 which was the last year I had a huge social life and was traveling and playing pokemon with all my best friends.    I just enjoy sports a ton and is still a mini-escape from life. I want to feel like I can enjoy a journey that my team can win a championship. If we lose, that's one thing and I'm fine with it as long as there is maximum effort given. When we lose and it's due to circumstances out of our control (injuries) seemingly every year, that's when I become apathetic towards the team over time.   The Atlanta Braves had a horrible season with injuries this year, but because we won a WS three years ago and make the playoffs every year, it's more forgivable. When we just lose every year, or the times we win it's a QB like Rivers who has 1 year with us and he retires, I just give up. I have no control to fix the team myself, and I resort to playing Madden instead.   Also, I'm sorry that you lost your friend in NC due to the flooding. That has to be horrible to go through. I have a bunch of friends in the South who lost power for 3 1/2 days and a cousin in Florida whose house got destroyed and she has to move in with her sister now. That hurricane sucked for so many people.
    • I’d say Levis is worse than AR as of this season. He’s single handedly lost the Titans multiple games. 
    • You’re right. You have every right to have your opinion.    Odds are stacked in favor of failure more than success in the NFL. Sustained winning is hard. Avoiding injuries is hard nowadays for QBs… More than likely due to the odds the Colts will be continuing to search for a QB in the future.    It is what it is. 
    • I’m sorry you feel this way. I’ve struggled with it in the past. I’ve made a post a few weeks back but it bears repeating:   I used to get irrationally angry watching Colts games. It was bad. It was violent. Looking back, it was embarrassing.   What finally changed for me was seeing the look of fear in my little children’s eyes staring up at me with tears. It… washed away my cares for the Colts. That probably sounds bad, but I no longer care as much about what happens with the team. It was one my entire persona. It was as if my own personal happiness stemmed from the team’s success.    All I can tell you is that at some point you’ll learn to separate the Colts from your personal identify.    There are other things truly more worthy of your worries and stress than a football team. I promise you.    Be well and cherish life. I recently lost a great friend in NC due to the horrible flooding. Life is too short to waste it away fretting over the Colts.
