• David Garrard will have at least 6 more touchdowns and 600 more yards in 2008. He will also have at least 4 more INTs.
• Fred Taylor will have another 1000 yards rushing season in 2008 but again have less TDs than MJD.
• Jerry Porter will have the most catches and yards by a Jaguars receiver since Jimmy Smith retired.
• Troy Williamson will have at least one TD catch of 50+ yards.
• Marcedes Lewis will have at least 50 catches.
• One Jaguars offensive lineman will make the Pro Bowl.
• No Jaguar will have more than 10 sacks but the team will be among the league leaders in the category.
• Justin Durant will play like one of the best linebackers in the league.
• Reggie Nelson will be among the league leaders in INTs and will make the Pro Bowl.
• The Jaguars will be win 13 games and their division.

I think the Jags will go 11-5.
I think the Colts will win the division.....(Unless our secondary and DE's step up)
I think Reggie Nelson will make the pro-bowl but not be at the top for NFL interceptions....For his position....yes...but not overall.
I think Mathis makes the Pro-Bowl.
I think Brian Williams could....b/c the safety position lacks superstars...other than Ed Reed and John Lynch.

I think Mike Peterson leads team in tackles.
I think Groves has more sacks than Harvey
Garrard Throws 5 td's in 1 game.
Mercedes Lewis has 100 yard game.
Jones Drew returns 2 KO's for TD

You say the colts will win the diovision unless the secondary steps up, which you predict with the very next lines of your post.



I think we will win the divsion. I'm not gonna predict anything beyond that.

I figured the more predictions I put out there, the more I will have predicted.

I'll throw this out there -



The Jaguars record will be 12-4

Jaguars will finish second in the division

They will head back to Pittsburgh for the Wildcard Round and win again

Reggie Nelson leads the team in interceptions

Mathis makes the Pro Bowl and ties his career best with at least 8 interceptions

Mike Peterson gets hurt again...Daryl moves back inside and leads the team in tackles

Groves will lead the team in sacks and receives serious thought for DROY

John Henderson bounces back and makes his first Pro Bowl as an elected member

MJD will have at least 12 total touchdowns and will have at least one rushing, receiving and returning

Del Rio will get serious consideration for Coach of the Year and win it

Fred will finish around 1100 yards

Reggie Williams will lead the team in TD catches but Porter leads the team in catches and yards

Either Vince Manuwai or Brad Meester finally gets their due and makes a Pro Bowl



IDK but whatever.

You ever heard of that Bob Sanders guy at Safety?  Or that Polamalou guy?

I can see all of this happening.

-Jags go 13-3 and win the division by going 5-1 in division and beating Colts in a tiebreaker of some sorts.

-Garrard breaks the TD record for Jags QB's (throws about 25), but throws twice as many INT's as last year in the process.

-Fred and MJD combine for 2,000 yards and 18 TD's on the ground.

-Jerry Porter, if healthy all year, leads the team in catches. TE M. Lewis is 2nd.

-Troy Williamson leads the team in yards per catch.

-Reggie Nelson makes Pro Bowl at Free Safety.  Mathis does not make it at CB.

-Mike Peterson leads team in tackles, but is snubbed for Pro Bowl.

-Jags don't move to L.A.

• Reggie Williams has 7+ TD's
• Garrard goes for 26td's and 13int's...also 3,300yds.
• Fred has 1,200yds. 6td's...MJD has 1,000yds 13td's (Fred makes Pro Bowl)
• Marcedes goes for about 50rec for 600yds and 4td's
• Manuwai makes the Pro Bowl
• Porter finishes with 75 receptions for around 1,000 yards and 6td's
• Northcutt has around 40 rec., Williamson 30, Walker 20.
• Paul Spicer leads the team in sacks
• Reggie Nelson leads the team in INT's taking one to the house. (Pro Bowl)
• Justin Durant becomes a national household name.
• Drayton Florence has more picks than Rashean
• Reggie Williams and Mike Peterson sign extensions during the year.
• The Jags go 12-4 and win the division.

I can see all that, except Mike Peterson signing an extension.  Even though I predicted he leads the team in tackles, if he misses more than one game due to injury this year, I don't think he gets re-signed.  He is getting up there and age and is going to want a bunch of money if he has a decent season.  Just a hunch. 

 

I see where you're going, but I just have this feeling that JDR and the staff love Mike Peterson so much for what he brings to the team on gameday (leadership, preparation, calling plays, making plays) that they won't let him get away.  If he is as productive as he has been when on the field, I think they re-sign him.  He's what JDR and company envision when talking about the "Jaguar Way".  Tough, smart, physical. 

Here's mine:


Derek Landri totals 6 QB sacks.

David Garrard has a season long stat line of 25 TD, 13 INT, 3600 yards, QB rating around 90-94.

Mike Peterson won't finish the season, again.

Jerry Porter will be a disappointment, moreso because of injuries than ability.

Mike Walker will outproduce Jerry Porter.

Reggie Williams will not have double digit TD's again.

Maurice Drew will have over 2000 AP yards for a 3rd consecutive season, and have double digit TD's rushing.

I fear Fred starts to decline/ or gets injured this year. I really hope I am wrong here.  

Chauncey Washngton has a 100 yard game this season.

Brian Williams will be a better cover S than Knight, but won't make as many big/ key plays.

Reggie Nelson will have a sophomore season almost identical to his rookie year. 

Mathis will rebound to have a season more Mathis-like.

Florence will be the toast of the town.

The O-line will be strong again, and Richard Collier will be starting OLT by seasons end.

The Jags TE's after Lewis will struggle. The Jags will regret not trying to add help for the TE2 spot. Lewis, himself will be solid, but unspectacular. something like 45-50 rec/ 450 yards/ 3-4 TD.

Reggie Hayward leads the team in QB sacks in 2008.

Harvey struggles his rookie year.

Groves gets 6 QB sacks this season.

Scobee craps his pants prior to an important FG attempt.

Greg Jones has a season similar to 2007.

Trae Williams will pick off more passes than Scott Starks or Drayton Florence.

Sensabaugh will prove worse at nickel than Terry Cousin was. Trae Williams has a good chance of overtaking Sensabagh there by seasons end.

The LB'ers will be solid, but again, unspectacular. Durant is a decent player, but a lot of people who expect stardom from him will be disappointed.  

Broussard will outproduce Troy Williamson.

Matt Jones will attempt to snort the 40 yard line.

The Jags will return one kick for a TD on ST's and also give up one.

The Jags will score over 400 points for the season for the 2nd straight season.

The Jags will finish 9-7.  


  

i think the very first prediction is really good

Yeah, you're probably right.  But if Mike P is out for more than about 4 games with injuries this year, I think all that "Jaguar Way" goes out the window.  Hopefully he stays healthy.

 

Yea, if he misses any time, his Jaguar days are over.

if not 13-3 12-4 11-5 the least

That would be the first time he has. He is 4 for 5 in game winning field goals including one against Pittsburgh in the playoffs last year. The only miss was a 60+ yarder against PIT in 04 that missed by about a foot.

Decent player? LOL. He was the best linebacker on the field in the game at Pittsburgh. He got Parker behind the line on more than one occasion.

Yep because one great game equates to being a great NFL player

signed,

Timmy Smith

I predict back to back Championships - nothing less

Well how about two games? Durant was allover the field against San Diego. That's all I can remember. That's what I get for hanging out with Matt Jones...

It was more than two games. It was the the last third of the season. But we'll just pretend like Durant is not a tremendous athlete who doesn't miss tackles.

I predict TMD will go 14-14 and be the bottom of this prediction thread.

I've been holding out opinion on you, because I sometimes agree with some of the stuff you say, or at least see your point, but sometimes I don't understand at all where you're coming from. Do you really think the Jaguars will be 9-7 this year?

What do you mean by Drayton Florence will be the toast of the town, but Trae Williams will have more int's than him... And I don't think Sensabaugh will be playing much nickel anyways...

Broussard, IMO, will be on the ps, if eligible, if not, won't even make the team...

I can't help but think your 'TE regret' speculation is based on the fact that all of the personnel suggestions you've made (Jeremy Shockey) have come and gone without happening...

And forget stardom, Justin Durant may not be a household name (stardom), but will play pro-bowl caliber football...

But if you answer just one question, let it be this, and whatever your answer is is fine one way or another, I just want to know:

Are you a Jaguars fan, or what team do you like?

Don't get your panties in a wad over the pissy pooch.

He's predicted in the past among other things that the Dolphins would make the playoffs and the Lions would win their division.......

...and that the Jags would finish 8-8 in 2006. Ooops.

At full health. Oops.

I think Broussard makes the team. He needs to prove he can stay healthy, though.

Shockey wasn't the only option in adding TE2 help. Alge Crumpler could have been got without even having to trade, he was an UFA. Crumpler + Lewis would have made a darn solid TE corps.

When I said "stardom", I meant in caliber of play, not household name recognition. If Durant is going to play at pro bowl level, he needs to make plenty of BIG plays, i.e. TFL's/ FF's/ QB sacks & INT's, If he doesn't register a lot of those kinds of plays but just has high tackle numbers, that is not a "star" player, sorry.

I'm most definitely a Jaguars fan. Just not a lemming. I set much higher goals/ standards for the team than many do.

No, thats not accurate. Obviously when a team just goes 12-4 and someone predicts 8-8, they are anticipating things to not go well, and that encompasses adding the injury factor into the equation.

My 9-7 prediction this year, has that factored in to the final predicton as well.

And there's the safety net.

Come next year, after the Jags have gone better than 9-7, and we all point and laugh, you can say, "Well, I didn't expect Mike Peterson to remain healthy all year" and that means your prediction will still be valid right?

In that scenario, I'd guess we'd be winning tiebreakers, as I could also see both the Texans & Colts at 10-6 as well. 10-6 is probably the lowest possible record I could envision the Colts having this season, whereas I see the Texans improving 2 games to their 10-6 record.

We split with the Colts. We sweep the Texans. The Texans split with the Colts.

The clots go 9-7--their schedule is ridiculous.

We win the tie-breaker over the Texans who improve from last year by two wins.

Don't forget that Broncos-49ers Super Bowl last year.

Shame on those who doubt Mike Pete! He's been so unlucky with injuries the past 3 seasons I think he's owed a healthy year and a trip to Hawaii :pray:

It's Flexing Time: http://static.nfl.com/static/content/catch...ke_Peterson.jpg

I will be disappointed if the Jaguars don't win the division. I think they will win at least one playoff game but I'm not confident enough to have them going to the Super Bowl.

There should be more Pro Bowl players from the Jaguars this year. John Henderson, Reggie Nelson, and Rashean Mathis will make the Pro Bowl. Peterson could make a case to be in the game too.

David Garrard will throw about 25 TDs and 10 INTs.

I think the following below...

David Garrard will set a franchise mark in passing touchdowns in a season. I make this claim because he was close to Brunell's mark last year and he even missed four games with that ankle injury. He should either barely break the mark or straight up destroy it. We've added more weapons for him to use, and the offense as a unit has gotten more comfortable with Koetter. Plus the defense could be creating more turnovers for us to take advantage of.

Fred Taylor will run for at least 1200 yards this season and score 10+ touchdowns and also berth his second straight pro-bowl apperance. I make this claim because he went to Miami last year and look what he accomplished, so, if he went back, he must be drinking from that fountain of youth still. MJD will aid him in this quest.

Reggie Williams, not Jerry Porter, will be the leading receiver this year in Jacksonville, and I say Reggie catches 70+ passes, goes for at least 1,100 yards receiving and scores another 10+ touchdowns. I think Jerry Porter will have a solid year but all-in-all, he creates more space for Reggie on the other side of the field.

Rashean Mathis will score two or more defensive touchdowns this year, and all can be credited to Williams move to SS, Nelsons growth at FS, the addition of Florence on the LCB side and Williams' defensive approach to the game.

Mike Peterson will lead the defense in tackles this year, he plays with a swagger, a fire in his belly, and he's a **** of a leader on the field. You'd have to think that this is a man coming back with a shield in one hand and a spear in the other and he's ready to make up for time loss from last year.

Derrick Harvey will lead the Jaguars in sacks this year with at least 8+. I feel he'll be just fine and break in nice and slow in training camp this year. I think he's more than capable of turning heads early this season. Especially in our division with rabid VY in the pocket and tackling dummies Schaub and Rosenfels back there as well.

MJD Will score at least 8 rushing touchdowns, 3 receiving touchdowns and 1 or more touchdowns on special teams this year. He'll finish the regular season with at least 1,800 or more total team yards. I think he also lays out another over-hyped defensive player in the NFL again this year.

Scobee will lead the NFL in touchbacks kicked this year and also finish 85% or better on FG attempts. Podlesh will be alot more improved from his rookie season as well.

The Jaguars win the division over the Colts after we split the series and we finish 12-4 or 13-3.

 

The Colts will win at least one more regular season game than the Jags. Though the Jags will win at least one more playoff game.

The Titans and Texans will not have winning records.

Marcedes Lewis will be on pace for a the Jags TE receiving record before he gets hurt circa week 10. (Returns for the playoffs)

Nobody catches more than 65 balls in the season.

Garrard wont go over 3500 yards and wont better 24 TDs but wont throw more than 10 INTs.

Groves gets 10+ sacks.

Manuwai goes to the pro-bowl, Meester goes as an alternate after an injury.

Other pro-bowlers: Peterson, Mathis, G Jones, Taylor is an alternate and again needs someone to get injured.

Lemon throws over 55% and has a positive TD to INT ratio during his limited garbage time on the field.

Matt Jones catches 20+ balls somewhere if he isnt banned/incarcerated.

I say:12-4

MVP: MoJo

Most Improved: Porter

I got 13-3 for the Jags

Reggie Williams is the leading Rec.

Fred Taylor 1000+ yards

Mojo 800+ rushing and 300+ rec. (I think we are going to see more screens and things of that sort to mojo)

David is a top 5 QB in everyone minds by the end of the year

the Defense will have the sacks and INTs but give up ALOT more yards than we are all used to.

I'll give it a whirl.

Record: 14-2.

Offense:

• David Garrard throws for over 3,200 yards and 24+ TD's with 6 INT's.
• Fred Taylor gains 1150+ yards on the ground and scores 4-6 TD's.
• Reggie Williams lights up a couple of DE's, MLB's, CB's, you name it, he'll light them up.
• Jerry Porter will be half a part of a Duo that will combine for 160+ catches and 2300 yards.
• Maurice Drew will once again rack up over 2,200 total yards gaining 11 TD's on the ground and 2 receiving and a couple of special teams TD's also.

Defense:

• Rashean Mathis rebounds to his previous posture and snags more than a handful of INT's, 7-9 to be exact.
• Reggie Nelson continues the demolition in the backfield as he also intercepts opposing Quarterbacks for a combined 6 INT's.
• Mike Peterson has a stellar season and finishes all 16 regular season games and reveals in the offseason that he played through a hassling injury providing further proof that he be resigned for at least 2 more years.
• Derrick Harvey and Quentin Groves make heads turn as they are 1 dimensional but far superior in that dimension.
• Harvey leads the team in Tackles for Loss and Quentin leads the team in Sacks.
• John Henderson gets multiple chances to eat babies and he doesn't hold back.

Special Teams:

• Adam Podlesh has a couple of 65+ yard punts and downs most of the opponents on their side of the field.

Overall:

• The Jaguars will have a revamped defense that is more aggressive than Mike Smith's style and will proceed to accumulate more flashy stats such as Sacks and Fumbles but will also give up a little bit more yards due to such a brand new defense being implemented.
• The Jaguars will fare epicly in the Playoffs as they unravel all the teams in their opposition and ultimately reach the Superbowl to have a shootout with an inferior NFC team.
• The Jaguars will not move.
• The Jaguars will get a new sponsor from a rich Billionare who puts his own name on the Stadium to gain more publicity for his own business.
• The Jaguars will contend for titles many years down the road.

I think that wraps it up! :cool:

Mojo gets 1000 yards rushing this season and leads the league in runs over 20 yards.

:satisfied:

My calendar says July. Sodo Mojo.

My prediction:



Something will happen at precisely the right time.

point is, according to FBT, who exactly was running with the 1's at OLT today?...

Mad Dog finds his true calling while strolling by the "Guess your weight $1" stand at the annual fair.
