2-6 Away

I think the Jags sneak up on the Texans in week two. Due to turnovers or maybe them underestimating the Jags, and the Jags home crowd in the beginning of the season is always tough. However, being high off a surprise upset of the Texans, the Jags go into Indy and give one away on the road to the hapless Colts. Division games are tough, I see us splitting against each team, winning our home games versus them but coming up short on the road. Also, the Raiders game, which, being on the west coast (where Jax always struggles), I don't like the Jags in that one. Although, coming off a BYE does give the Jags a better shot at that game. Maybe preparing them for the trip and getting some extra scouting in on Oakland. But I'm going to play the percentages on that one and guess loss just because of Jax's poor west coast record.

Obviously I hope we do better and somehow get to 10-6 and challenge the division. But this is what I see, realistically.

[Jags02]

With MJD in camp on time they'll go 10-6, which should be enough to make the Playoffs although that's not a guarantee. If MJD arrives in camp at the last second, they lose at least a couple more early games meaning 8-8. If he holds out until something like week two, make that 7-9. This team needs their Mojo to win games.

13-3

losses to raiders, @ texans and the finale @ titans (jaguars will rest starters )

We'll win some and lose some. I'll care more than a human should care about something that doesn't directly effect their life. That's my prediction .

[hb1148]

I've been pretty optimistic this off season. The passing game really held us back last year considering we had one of the best defenses and running games. I'm expecting Gabbert and the new receivers and coaching staff to turn that around complete and go from worst to...well, not first but near the middle of the pack. Things may start slowly but will gel and I expect we'll win the division with something like a 10-6 or 11-5 record. I predict the pundits will talk about what a shocking turn around it is. Mike Mularkey will get mentions as a Coach of the Year candidate.

[GoJags16]

A huge key is going to be health, as always.

[BombSquad]

Same as last year . 5-11

Apparently you think our run defense is soft?


When's the last time Chris Johnson scared our defense AT ALL? 2010?

[bleedingteal]

9-7 is my guess.

[Anonymous Anomaly]

Vegas odds have the Jags winning 5 1/2 games next year. Put up or shut up.

Of all their odds for this season, topping this one is as close to a lock as it gets.

It's weird because they have the higher payout going to the over. (+115) Either Vegas doesn't know what they are doing which 99% of the time isn't the case or all of the early bets are on the under. I really don't know what people see in the Jags to think they are regressing or maybe they're betting out of ignorance. Either way I know who my moneys on.

I made the 7 hour drive from Cleveland to Delaware to place my bet last weekend. Is that good enough?

Wk 1@ Vikings - Win - With both teams missing their star running back, Minnesota's offense struggles more.
Wk 2 vs Texans- Loss - Let's not kid ourselves.
Wk 3 @ Colts - Win - Both offenses play well. Indy's slow transition to the 3-4 is the difference.
Wk 4 vs Bengals - Loss - Bengals in good form after their playoff bid last season.
Wk 5 vs Bears - Loss - Jags able to get pressure on the Cutler, but not enough.
Wk 6 BYE
Wk 7 @ Raiders - Loss - West Coast struggles continue, McFadden not the cure.
Wk 8 @ Packers - Loss - Too much.
Wk 9 vs Lions - Win - A trap game for the Lions. We need this one more than they do after 4 straight losses.
Wk 10 vs Colts - Win - They make everyone feel better.
Wk 11 @ Texans - Loss - Swept two years in a row.
Wk 12 vs Titans - Win - A close divisional game, we hurt the tacks' chances at winning the division over the tinhorns.
Wk 13 @ Bills - Win - Fitzpatrick's inconsistencies continue; Monroe dominates Williams.
Wk 14 vs Jets - Loss - Revis and Cromartie make it a long day for Gabbert and the receivers.
Wk 15 @ Dolphins - Win - Ochocino's first TD of the season is the only one for the fish this game.
Wk 16 vs Patriots - Loss - Brady in another class.
Wk 17 @ Titans - Loss - Nothing to play for.

7-9. Gabbert shows just enough improvement to buy another year. Daryl Smith has a career year, warranting a handsome contract extension. Marcedes Lewis finds a middleground between 2010 and 2011. Alualu's knee disappoints. Aaron Ross and Kevin Rutland start a combined 8 games due to injuries ahead of them. Sack totals regress, as the loss of Roth proves more significant than the addition of Branch. Zach Miller finds a way to stay off the field. Jennings silences his critics, maintaining his high yards per rushing attempt with a larger sample size.

Way too early to be doing this. We were all hyping the Jags/Colts matchup in Week 17 last year before the start of the season.

That game happened to become the least interesting and least meaningful game of the season.

[KM91]

I can see easily see 9 or 10 wins.

[leopold332002]

Wk 1@ Vikings - Win: They don't have a solution to Blackmon as he have a great game
Wk 2 vs. Texans- Win: This is going to be Gabbert's breakout game and we claima lead for the division
Wk 3 @ Colts - Win: Gabbert shows luck that he is a year away from being a goodqb in this league.
Wk 4 vs. Bengals - Win: Gabbert again shows Dalton that he's the better QB out of the 2011 draft class.
Wk 5 vs. Bears - Loss: The bear's defense does enough to slow down this offense as cutler plays a great game now he has some toys at his disposal.


Wk 6 BYE
Wk 7 @ Raiders - Win: This team unlike the Del Rio era will break the west coast curse because Mike Mularkey will have this team well prepared and ready to execute his game plan.


Wk 8 @ Packers - Loss: We're not ready yet to become a super bowl contender as they give us a clinic on the scoreboard.


Wk 9 vs. Lions - Loss: It's a close game but we come up short against Matt Stafford at home.
Wk 10 vs. Colts - Win: Luck plays better but still comes up well short on Thursday night.
Wk 11 @ Texans - Loss: This is the revenge game as they wear that stupid battered and beat us in a close game.
Wk 12 vs. Titans - Win: Jake Locker looks shaky as the defense gets the best of him in a blowout
Wk 13 @ Bills - Loss: This is the legendary trap game that the jags come up short.
Wk 14 vs Jets - Win: The jaguar fans have another year of bragging rights as we shut up the tebow fans at home.
Wk 15 @ Dolphins - Win: Tannehill has a bad game as the jags smell the division at its grasp.
Wk 16 vs. Patriots - Loss: Tom Brady wins against us again as they maintain a 5 game winning streak against our team.
Wk 17 @ Titans - Win: We take care of business as we ultimately win the division for the first time since 1999.



10-6 and division champs but lose to the Patriots in the divisional round again.


Gabbert has a breakout season and now getting compared to Matt Ryan as a young,up and coming qb in this league. Blackmon gets close to 1,000 yds receiving and Robinson reaches the mark for the first time in his career. MJD is effective but rushes for the lowest amount of yards which is 1192 since becoming a starter in this league. The defense is top 10 in this league and Marcedes is closer to the 2010 version of him than last years. The O-line gave up only 32 sacks which is an improvement over the last few years and Mike mularkey wins coach of the year in 2012. We will also lose one assistant on the offensive side of the ball to a better coaching position on another team because of the developmentof gabbert and we resign Cox, Knighton, Britton and Daryl Smith to fair market deals during the off-season.

That is true. The game went from possibly deciding the division winner to deciding whether or not the Colts got the #1 pick.

This is a fine topic for the dead zone but obviously it doesn't mean much.

I find it funny that you think Roth was so instrumental to our Dline last year. Is that why he got such a big contract this offseason? Oh wait...

And you think MJD is stupid enough to take the holdout into the season.
