Peppers bull crap didn't help.

And Jonathan seems to have taken a step back.

But Gonzo is proving the hype and Marcus looks pretty good too.

I think the bigger problem and by a lot is the lack of a pass rush.
Your right. The pass rush Uche has been and outright disappearing act. Gonzo and Marcus Jones yes I'd say they are our 2 best CBs.
 
Sure would be sweeet if Maye scores a TD on the Pats first drive. Play with the lead and set the tone.

Jags have a big advantage having already been in London all this week. Its likely going to be a close game.
 
I would like to be wrong, but I expect a Jags victory. Our offense is inconsistent. AVP may be our weakest link. Defense has lost too many key players. AVP doesn't help the OT's at all. Jags remained in London, Pats are traveling and don't have a lot of leaders left. Name them. It seems like Mayo took ownership of the QB situation, now he needs to get involved with some direction to AVP. He can't continue to be hands off with the offense. They have several offensive coaches, but they don't seem effective.
 
One of these offenses will be lighting it up on Sunday. Maybe both. Bet the over?
 
Our CB's are going have their hands full with that kid below and Kirk...Thomas Jr is going to be Great wish we had him.

What worries me is jax did explode for 37 points or so when they got to face a bad indy defense so as bad as the team is overall they have the ability to go off. And we’re a bad defense right now. Much as im impressed with drake its asking alot to ask him to win shootouts with our offense
 
If the Pats get up early, there's a real chance Jacksonville will quit or that the coaches will do something odd like put in you-know-who. Some way or another, it's gonna be an odd game, one that I'm really looking forward to, one we might actually win. The season has been a such a slog to this point. This should be fun for a change.

Our D is better at defending the pass than the run at this point, I think. Add Jacksonville's QB problems to that, and a sudden 37 points by the opposition becomes somewhat less likely than it might be if our pass D were not as good in the back end as it can be. (I also have a notion our pass rush might be effective, though I have no particular reason for thinking so other than the law of averages.) I am pretty sure the D has gotten a earful all week about their lazy ways: maybe that'll have the desired effect. I think it's actually more likely the Pats could get up a score or two, which could light a fire under our worrisomely sloppy and inattentive D. I expect, given the lack of talent and a QB starting his second game, that the Pats' offense will be uneven, but with Maye as QB, explosive plays are far more more likely than they were under Brissett. I actually think the Pats will win, but it isn't an easy game to predict, because of all the uncertainties on both teams. Whatever happens, I expect to enjoy the game - I am tempted to say, "for a change."

TE E Engram had good game last week and they have Three WR's who should give our undermanned Defense a lot of problems. Like I said Drake could throw for 400yds and we still lose.

No we're not! that's a myth against a Stacked Offensive Team which the Jags should be. Gonzo on Tomas Jr I bet you Kirk and Gabe Davis go off not to mention TE's Engram and Strange.

Yes we are! Besides, what wrong with myths?

On your side of the ledger, the D is 19th in rushing D; 24th in passing D to this point. I am undeterred by this stat, because of the quality of our secondary, J'villes o-line (though they have outperformed projections the last couple of weeks), and their QB woes.
