New England (-1) at Jacksonville (9-16-18)

[oldunclemark]

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

[oldunclemark]

Weather correction: Low-90s at game time

[BloodyChamp]

I would think that between the Jags and the Pats you would side with the Jags even though they're in the same division as the Colts. I mean it's Pats. 

[Chrisaaron1023]

Even tho we won.. go Jags! Lets make it a sweep sunday

[buffalo34]

Doesn't matter.

 

Brady will blow down the field for the easy game-tying TD.

[DraftMaster]

Gotta root for NE to be in a 3 way tie in the AFCS. If we lose the div to the jags by one game, maybe you would root for NE.

[buffalo34]

Doesn't matter.

 

Patriots will make the adjustments and shred this defense and take the Jags' offense out of the game.

No.

[CamMo]

Jacksonville making the NE D look silly. 

[Chrisaaron1023]

oh gosh darn.. jags scored again.. (rooting for the pats)

[Tsarquise]

Wow, Jags looking great!

[GwinnettColt]

I'm rooting for NE but it is funny to watch Brady pout and Josh "Manboy" McDaniels throw a tantrum at his players.   I'm so glad we didn't get him. 

[IndySouthsider]

NE really doesn’t look like a very good football team. Thought that last week against Houston too.

 

You have to run it against Jax. They aren’t as solid against the run as people think.

[buffalo34]

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. 

[Gramz]

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.

 

[buffalo34]

Doesn't matter.

 

The Patriots are still winning this game.

They were down 21-3 against the Falcons in the Super Bowl, so this will still be a pretty easy comeback for them by their standards.

[Bluefire4]

The Jags are looking scary. Why does Blake Bortles look this good?

Nah, they are losing this game. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

It's 21-3 Jacks but it's not over. Tommy is very capable of coming back and we all know it.

This is not your normal NE team.

So it appears 

[buffalo34]

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 wish I could root for the pats, but sadly can’t.

I see...some things never change

 

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

[Coltsman1788]

Jax is beating the brakes off New England.  I'm not mad at em.  Only thing is I wish it was the Colts doing the same thing.  Respect.

They weren’t exactly sharp against a really bad Houston team. I actually think Colts have a legit shot to win vs NE.

They're still winning 13 games and will get to (and likely win) the AFC Championship game. They're fine.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Jacks looks good today, I respect that but the Pats look lethargic so far.

[IndySouthsider]

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

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.

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.

[Coltsman1788]

I don't think this will be the Pats year.  The dynasty ended last year for all intents and purposes.  The Jags will be the new kings of the AFC until the Colts come of age.

[2006Coltsbestever]

All this is going to do is make NE mad and they will now win like 10 games in a row 

[buffalo34]

There it is.

 

Game over.

 

Patriots win.

 

That will fire them up and give them every ounce of momentum from here on out.

 

It's all over.

You probably should have gotten Ryan Fitzpatrick as your quarterback. 

[runthepost]

Looks like Blake isn’t a bottom 5 qb anymore... If he stays top 15 this year the Jags will be scary

Bortles plays well against the best teams when it matters.  That's a good trait to have in a QB star or not.
