This is no pushover game. I don't care what their record is. The team that opened the season cannot beat anyone. The team that played last week can play with anyone. We don't exactly have a good history of playing well after a big win......

Should we win, absolutely, BUT, you just never know.

MJD scares me just as much as the CJ/LW combo. Luckily (or unluckily depending on your point of view), they are having receiver issues, and their passing game is an issue for them. I am not so sure that is a good thing for us. Running defense is obviously an issue with us right now, and if they go chewing up the clock, our offense won't have time to get clicking.

Hell, even the Vegas goons aren't so sure, as we opened as a 3.5 favorite, AT HOME! With that, they put the U/O at 47, so they are expecting a TON of points......

Desperate teams are always dangerous, and trying to avoid 0-3 is about as desperate as they come. The other thing that scares me about this game is that Jacksonville's biggest strength, running the ball, is our biggest weakness.

It should definitely be a win. The run defense isn't really all that far away from being at least competent. If they can just avoid the occasional breakdowns that lead to the 60+ yard runs they will be OK.

I'm hoping Kevin Walter is back 100% this week. Davis is fine as a field stretcher, but Walter is a much more complete WR. Not to mention the fact that Davis couldn't block my 10 year old nephew, and Walter is one of the better blocking WR out there IMO.

Looks like Chester Pitts games playing streak is ending. Seems Studdard has been ok so far as his backup.

Wonder if CB Reeves will be back and if that helps our defense perhaps?

At least they dont have Matt Jones anymore. He was too big to cover on quick slants.

They said he was running/practicing prior to the Tacks game but tired out quickly.

I imagine he'll start playing progressively more snaps each week as his continues to build up his endurance.

You forgot the biggest reason to be scared about this game. I picked the Texans to win in the suicide game. That means the Jags win in a blowout.
