I gotta admit I'm nervous about this game, the Jags are on a roll and they are just a spectacular running team, they have MJD and Fred Taylor who have the potential to keep Manning off the field(the only way to beat him). We really have to focus on stopping the run, we do not need a repeat of last year's game against them.

I respect the Jags right now more than any of our other opponents for the year, and yes, that includes the Patriots. The one thing I like in our matchup is that we have Bob, and our DBs are 10x more physical then they were l/y.
Plus, I think that we'll see a lot of the blitz schemes that we employed vs. the Titans, which will help eliminate a lot of the draws and QB keepers that the Jags use to convert on 3rd down. Garrard is good, but he won't be ready for the team speed we have, especially now w/ Hagler starting at SLB.
MDJ is compact and hits hard, but the Eraser is just as compact and hits just as hard, if not harder. I think it's either gonna be a close game, like 3 or 4 points, or a complete blowout, like 23 or 24...

This is going to be a tough game. Stroud and Henderson are a load in the middle and will give us some trouble, but if we can give Peyton time, I like our chances against the Jags secondary not named Rashean Mathis.
We cannot the Jags run the ball down our throats. Hopefully, we'll see the fast swarming defense we've seen all year. Keiaho is playing, so that should help.
