Please people, just stop. The Jags have NO CHANCE of beating New England this weekend in the AFC Divisional Playoffs. Unless you’ve been living under a rock the past four months, you may have noticed that the Patriots are pretty good. I know, I know, it’s cool now to “hate” the Pats, with all of their silly winning and stuff. But Jacksonville? Please, did anyone actually watch the Jags/Steelers game last week. The Jags scored after a 96 yard kickoff return, an INT for a TD, and another TD set up by an interception. Ben Roethlisberger was simply horrible in the first half and basically allowed the Jags to get a big lead.
Of course, Ben and the Steelers turned the game around in the second half and if it wasn’t for some bonehead management by rookie coach Mike Tomlin, the game would have gone to overtime and who knows what would’ve happened. David Garrard made a play when it mattered, no doubt. But is this the guy you are counting on to beat the best team in the league on the road in the playoffs? You sure about that?
This game will be ugly, and get out of hand very quickly if the Jags offense performs like it did last week in Pittsburgh. I like New England BIG. Like I said, if you’re jumping on the Jags bandwagon, be sure to buckle up.
