Default OT: Jacksonville - are they a threat?

With all this Pats/Colts talk, it seems like the Jags are getting very little attention.

They're 4-1, they have a STOUT defense, a VERY scary running attack, and while David Gerrard isn't a world beater, he is under-rated, nonetheless.

And on top of that, they give their fellow AFC South opponent(the Colts) matchup nightmares.

In your opinions, do you perceive this team as a SB threat? They're definitely better than Dallas and Green Bay.

I don't think the have a strong enough passing game to stay with the Patriots. I'm not sure what their record is against the Colts in recent years.

I don't think they're better than Dallas. New England has exposed Del Rio's defense for a few years now. Jacksonville is good, but their defense is no where near good enough to carry the complete lack of a passing game really far. Jones - Drew is probably a little overhyped over last season anyway. He's a good RB but very scary? No not really.

They beat the colts up when they play them. Those guys hate each other pretty good, and they play the Colts next I think. We will learn something from that game for sure. I also think that the Squeelers are a good team this year.

I was just trolling for tickets for next Monday (Jags vs Colts), the Jags usually play them pretty tough, it would be nice to see Payton go down in person.

NE has beaten them the past two years. NE has gotten better. They have a mediocre QB. They beat teams by "punching them in the mouth," a tactic which doesn't work especially well against NE.

I don't see how they keep up with NE offensively. They could have a great defensive game, hold NE to 24 points, and wouldn't be able to score enough points to win.

It's a strong AFC, whoever we play in our (hopefully 2) playoff games will be tough. Jacksonville, Indy, Pitt, yes SD. All that's a "threat" right now is who can beat us for the #1 seed. After that - everyone's a threat.

The Jags play em tough like the Jets play us normally.

The Texans are more comparable to our issue with Miami.

I am very impressed with the Jags this season. They will be there in the end. They won in Denver and in KC this season. How many times have the Pats won in those places lately?

Better defense than NE. Better running game. Those are the two components that spell wins in January.
