Can’t have bad plays or turnovers and we win. Stop holding on every K9 big run! Injuries are hurting us on Defense

Biggest injury this week might be their starting Center being replaced by a 7th round rookie. Time to eat for Byron Murphy.

This is another way KC helped the Jags to win.

Jags will eventually regress to the mean...they have been abnormally and unsustainably lucky. Seahawks need to focus on playing clean football, don't get cute. Just call regular schemes and play to our strengths. Thanks for breaking it down!

I think we are going to win by a pretty significant margin in this one.

- Projected out: Strange (TE) and Hainsey (C).

- Limited: Walker (DE), Cleveland (OL), Mekari (OL).

If Walker is out, I don't think the Jags are going to get any pressure on Darnold. Their offensive line looks beat up and Hainsey being out is a big blow to the Jags run and pass game.

I think if we shut their rushing offense down, and I do think this will happen, and force Lawrence to carry their offense he will gift us a pick or two.

I think our offense is going to feast in this game. The Jags play a lot of cover 3 which Darnold has had a lot of success against. The Jags have done a good job of shutting down their opponents run game however I feel they have not faced a team with our balance on offense. I think our run game is going to have a good day.

I do feel if Love and Witherspoon are out, we will be susceptible to big plays on pass defense. I think the difference is Lawrence is not Mayfield.

The one Jags game I was served here I watched one of his best receivers catch 4 of 12. Most of those 12 were catchable throws. Lawrence is probably better than his clippings, the defense is probably going to revert to the mean soon (like, now? please?), and Travis Hunter...not yet, young fella...it's a long season.

I’ve watched 3 Jags games this year. All were wins, and all looked like they were going to be losses. They do take the ball away, and in those games at least, in the middle of the field. I didn’t exactly take notes but it felt like LBs got more picks than usual. Lloyd in particular is not a guy you want to throw at. But there’s not a whole lot else nice to say. There appear to be a lot of “JAGs” on the Jags. We should beat this team, Vegas odds be damned. We “should” win the next 4 if health allows us to field a team. Jacksonville, Texans, Moons and Cardinals are all more flawed than we are. This is the stretch to make some noise.

I believe coach Mac is well aware of the shortcomings that showed up on defense in the last game, especially tackling, and has made corrections, and better coverage in the middle of the field.

Also, I believe Lawrence is a much easier QB to prepare for and the defense, who has been slapped into awareness, will make things right this game. Eman and EJ should play. I think it's leaning that Spoon and DLaw will play, maybe not Love.

Thanks for the take SSJ, on Trevor L, that clears some things up.

Let’s hope this isn’t the game where Lawerence gets his TD % up. Coach Mac needs to find a fix for the DB room. I believe Strange is out Sunday.

I didn’t understand the huge deal about Jones a couple days ago. But of my. Surprised coach wasn’t having a cardiac situation after seeing that.

If we do what we are capable of doing, this game will be over in the first half. That would include not committing stupid penalties, and not giving Milroe one chance to be a hero. That was the dumbest thing these coaches have done. What is the riskiest play? A play that includes a lateral, which if dropped becomes a lost fumble. Jesus, let him threaten downfield with a pass, and run as the last option.

Even if we shoot ourselves in the foot a time or two, we should still win this game.

Unfortunately, the Seahawks have been pretty good at beating themselves so far this season, even in some games that they've won.

Yes, this could be a game that the Jags would even salivate over for that reason. "Hey look someone else that is willing to make a mistake".

In the history of the Jaguars, which player or coach or person do you think most represents "Jacksonville Jaguars" to you? Like when you think of the Jaguars, who do you think of?

Fred Taylor, Tom Coughlin, Maurice Jones-Drew?

🤔 I lived on the East Coast in the 90s, and it seemed like the 4 pm game on AFC network was ALWAYS Seattle / KC, every week - very generic teams at that time.

Jax has been that “bar code” Kroger-label team nobody wants to watch. Maybe that’s what prompted your “greatest Jags” question, I wonder if it’ll come down to a “Jag-off?”

PS I’m also surprised how many peeps say “Jag-wires!”

I think of Mark Brunell and Tom Coughlin. That might be because I went to a Hawk game in Jacksonville in, I think 2000 or 2001. I took a game bus from Daytona to Jacksonville that was full of loud Jag fans. They were quite on the way home. It was the best bus ride of my life.

It's amazing what they started with and what it turned into. Fred Taylor too.

Randall Murray's avatar

Agreed. They had a much better start to their career than the Hawks. Brunell one of the best at UW and really good guy. And Taylor was amazing.

There's a lot of Jaguars wrapped up in Bortles, for sure.
