    Perhaps we underestimated Jacksonville?

    Maybe losing to them on the last play of the game isnt as bad as we once thought? They are looking like a strong team this year.

    I agree. They did the exact same thing today against Tenn that they did against us the first game.... marched down the field w/ 2:00 left to score the game winning TD. Looks like a good team! They are stepping up when they need to.

      Indeed. The same was the case last year against the Eagles. Everyone said "oh, how could we lose to such a crappy Eagles team..." Well they went on to go to the NFC champ game.

      It looks as though the Jags are a real team. Not like the pushover people made them out to be before week 1.

        I think it was more that people overestimated the Bills rather than underestimating the Jaguars.

                  Jacksonville was called one of the most underrated teams going into this regular season by alot of experts, its just the case that we as fans underestimated them most people expected them to be pretty decent.
                  COMING SOON...

                        I think they have what we need - playmakers and key guys at the end of the game. If Bledsoe starts leading key 4th quarter drives or our D starts causing turnovers or starts causing 3 and outs in the 4th, then we have a chance.

                        Football is a lot like chess IMO, the first 3 quarters are really just a setup for the final quarter - good finishers win the games and bad ones lose them. The rest of the game is really meaningless as long as you're in position to win and have big play guys.

                            I agree with you 100% We've had a team with no identity the last few years. All the pieces are coming together and a bye couldn't come at a better time. Just more time for the hunger to grow. The players and coaches see it and are ready for all the cylinders to start firing simultaneously.

                              Week one against Pitt they looked tough.

                              Any team with Big Ted and Warren Sapp isn't going to be a slouch.
