The Jags are working the "No Respect" angle for the playoffs this year. I know that it worked for us in the past and therefore, could work for another team again. But looking a little closer at the Jags record and aside from having some surprising wins against good teams....I honestly don't think they had it nearly as tough as some would say they have. Here is a game-by-game quick review of thier season:
Game 1: Beat Seattle in Jax 26-14. I am chalking this one up on the "your never as good or bad as the 1st game of the season".
Game 2: Lost to Indy 10-3 in Indy. A tough divisional game. Indy's D was at its best for the 1st half of the season. Edge had good yardage.
Game 3: Beat Jets in NY in OT 26-20. Jets settled for 2 4Q field goals to tie game up. Smith 36 yard TD catch ends game.
Game 4: Lost to Denver 20-7 in Jax. Denver had almost 200 yards rushing.
Game 5: Beat Bengals in Jax 23-20. Cincy's 1st loss of the year.
Game 6: Beat Pitt in Pitt 23-17 in OT. No Rothlesburger. Maddox terrible. Jags interception from bonehead Maddox play hands Jax victory.
Game 7: Lost to Rams in St Louis 24-21. Coming off by week. Rams rush for 200 yards.
Game 8: Beat Houston in Jax 21-14. A trend is starting. They do enough to win, but by no means impressively. Needed to 4Q TD's to win game against bad team.
Game 9: Beat Baltimore in Jax 30-3. Best all around game by O and D. Baltimore playing badly in midseason.
Game 10: Beat Titans in Tenn 31-28. Jags take control of game in 4Q. Titans another team playing poorly during midseason.
Game 11: Beat Arizona 24-17 in Arizona. Kurt Warner throws for 315 yards and Cardinals score 14 points in 4Q to make it interesting. Leftwich injured.
Game 12: Beat Browns in CLeveland 20-14. Browns blow lead, game. Gerrard 11-20 116 yards passing 2 TD's. Typical Gerrard game. Not spectacular but enough to win.
Game 13: Lost to Indy in Jax 26-18. Game not close as score would suggest. Indy dominated in a game many people thought they could be the team to break Indy's winning streak. Jax not so great under national exposure?
Game 14: Beat 49'ers 10-9 in Jax. Maybe a letdown after Indy but Jags play poorly, lucky to win against pitiful team. Defense keep team in game. Again.
Game 15: Beat Houston 38-20 in Houston. Game much closer than score result. Jags score 21 in 4Q for come from behind win.
Game 16: Beat Titans in Jax 40-13. Starter rest and game meaningless to both teams.
Analysis: Jags did well but there is not much inspiration from barely beating so many poor teams. D was definately the reason for a 12-4 record. Offense is not going to light up a good Defense, but a good offense is not going to light up Jags D either. Teams can sometimes run and sometimes pass on them for big yardage. I can see the Jags holding us down to less than 24 points but I cannot see that offense scoring more than 10 on us.
