5 games with in divisions. Those are always interesting. I'm a little interested in the Detroit- Seattle game. A pure contender/pretender game. Who steps up. Right Jack?

So we get to face our old buddy Osweiler, eh? In prime time? After a 4-game win streak during which they've been playing better, at least defensively(against bad teams of course)?

What could possibly go wrong...
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Damn where did this run game come from the last two weeks? I guess Foreman breathing down Millers neck makes a difference.

Holy tits that was one hell of a catch by Hopkins...even if it didn't count.

Wow!

Can anyone explain to me how Blake Bortles is considered a upper tier QB? I don't see it to me he's a okay QB but not top 5 or even 10

Seen articles calling Blake the QB who is most slept on in the league saying if he had the weapons Wentz has he would be a MVP or give him Antonio Brown, DeAndre Hopkins, Julio Jones, Amari Cooper or Beckham Jr and he would be lighting up the league. To me he's a serviceable player who can control a game but he doesn't have big money attributes.

I still think Carr is the best QB of the '14 draft then if he was healthy Bridgewater than Bortles.

Jaguars are back to being the old, regular Jaguars again. Stick a fork in them. They are done for the year.

I think most people think he sucks, which is why some people feel that he's better than advertised...it's the other way around imo, despite being the QB of a really good Jags team last year, Bortles continues to have the reputation of being terrible, and the guy that holds them back.

Kind of fun to see the Jaguars disappoint like this though. They talked A LOT for a team that choked away a SB appearance last year, and are failing spectacularly now that actual expectations were placed on them coming in.

I think he's middle of the pack in terms of talent. I mean take my Ravens Flacco was fortunate to play with a stacked Ravens defense back in the day to help him win a superbowl. I think Bortles is in that mold a good system guy on a truly strong defensive team.

He got exposed today against Philly and I don't expect them to be a playoff team right now
