Holy cow! I go onto http:jungle.jaguars.com to see what the opponents' fans are up to since I don't really have a handle on the Jaguars or their players. Every thread about the game devolves into a Deflategate argument.
Here's an example: http://jungle.jaguars.com/index.php?/topic/13668-what-are-patriots-fans-saying-about-us/page-3
Looking at that roster, there are a boatload of very good players drafted in the top ten from successful programs that won conferences and bowl games. I do not know how well they have come together as a pro team, especially with all the coaching turnover. The head coach is a great defensive mind who can handle all-pro egos. The ingredients for a very good team are certainly there.
But c'mon. At 1:00 p.m., they're going to play a football game, and the footballs will be the right PSI, so it comes down to blocking, tackling, throwing and catching. Reading this stuff just infuriates me about what the NFL and Goodell have done to the game.
