Jags could win the division

[John Hammonds]

Jacksonville is 6-8.  Their next opponents are the beatable Jets and the bottom-dwelling Texans.

Setting themselves up for a possible 8-8 vs 8-8 showdown with the Titans for all the marbles.

This is gonna be exciting to watch.

[2006Coltsbestever]

They will win the division because Tannehill can't win a big game to save his life. All the Jags need to do is make sure they are only 1 game behind heading into the final week and book it, Jags will roll.

[Myles]

My money would be on the Titans to win the division.

[Albany Ed]

Win or lose, this year, their future is bright.  Trevor Lawrence is the real deal.

Since the Packers game when they went 7-3 after winning it, Titans lost Denico Autry, Kristian Fulton, Amani Hooker, Elijah Molden, David Long Jr. and Zach Cunningham and have been playing without most of them. Never thought how important Denico Autry would be for their pass rush, he is very much a big part of their inside pass rush. So teams have had more time in the pocket and scored on the Titans.

 

Plus, Tannehill is unlikely to play vs Texans on a short week:

Jaguars should hope it is just 1 game behind the Titans that they are when they meet them. Could be a SNF flex, IMO. But if the Titans get their defensive core back, they could go on a roll because that is the heartbeat of their team. However, Tannehill's ankle has been injured a SECOND time this season and not sure if that means the Malik Willis experiment is on moving forward.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Looks like Tannehill might be done for the season. So yeah jags have a chance.

[runthepost]

All hail Trevor

[sb41champs]

Whether or not Tannehill plays - I believe that the Jaguars are peaking at the right time - and - just might take the division.

 

Time will tell.

[Indianapolis-Colts-Fan]

Good for them. I hate the titans. 

[crazycolt1]

I guess after years of draft picks in the top 5 has finally paid off for them.

I may change that now.  Tannehill out is huge for the Titans. 

[chad72]

Just realized that Jaguars had traded for Calvin Ridley from the Falcons and if his suspension is done, could get a huge boost to their risk reward from a skill position point of view:

The Falcons' trade return is two future draft picks that can range from a maximum compensation of a 2023 fifth-rounder and a 2024 second-round pick, which will be conditional upon Ridley's reinstatement.

 

I am sure Ridley is sitting happy knowing he will be catching passes from Lawrence instead of Ryan.

There gonna run away with the division next year. Their on the way up. Colts and Titans are both on the way down. Texans are a mess.

Tonight's game will be interesting on several fronts. The Jags are playing well, but how will handle it knowing they are now supposed to win? A lot of people (myself included) jumping on the bandwagon. Can they carry that weight? (that might make a good song)

 

The other problem is, how do they handle the cold, rain, and wind, tonight in New Jersey. The Jets aren't what they were earlier in the year, but this is a real test for the J-A-G-S Jags! Jags! Jags!

Yes, it will be interesting to see how Lawrence and Doug Pederson handle it. It will be a low scoring battle because of the torrential rain that is happening.

Irsay must be livid. The fact the Jags who had back to back first overall picks are about to win the division for a second time in the same time span the colts haven't won it once. Crazy

I believe Irsay is mad but it doesn't have anything to do with the Jags

 It's about what the Colts haven't done. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

It at least won't be the Titans

I'm referring more to the situation. The Jags were the worst team for back to back seasons. Now their about to win the division something the colts haven't done once in almost a decade

[King Colt]

The AFC South and NFC South should relocate to the XFL.

[gspdx]

At this point I am rooting for the Jags.  I have enjoyed watching Trevor play.  Looks like he is figuring it out.

Maybe it pays to stink once in a while so that you can get a franchise QB like the Bengals and Jaguars.
