stlbills13 Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Not a lock but it shouldn't surprise anyone to see them in contention late in the year. They're a solid team with an easy path to the 1 seed and that's not really meant to be a knock. But I'm just not quite sure they're ready to consistently feast on an easy schedule. All divisional games are hard even if it's against rookie QB's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAl2526 Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Houston and Indianapolis are among the weakest teams in the league at the moment. Tennessee is better than that, and might provide some competition for the Jags, but the Jags are arguably division favorites. I I don't see them going to the Super Bowl though.

RiotAct Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 (edited) I’d say so, yes. They a good team trending in the right direction. EDIT: @Big Blitz your first sentence was “in the worst division in football”. Am I to take your question as “Are the Jags a lock for the 1 seed in the AFC South”, or “Are the Jags a lock for the 1 seed in the AFC”??? If you meant the latter, then hell no, although it wouldn’t exactly shock me to see them come away as the top dog in the AFC this season.

Yes I meant 1 seed in the AFC - and with that my point is while the bye would be great, I just don’t think I care and we shouldn’t sweat it. Sure let the team, but as a fan I’m not. Last year I thought we had to have it. That didn’t work out for us. The better teams win. Both 1 seeds got there this year I don’t see a repeat of that. Finishing as the 3 seed could still get you 2 home games in the AFC. And send me to Jacksonville in January to play that works just fine.

I stated nothing but facts. A warmer weather team came to Buffalo with a 3rd string UFA Rookie QB and nearly pulled off the upset. You want me to believe we would trounce the Jags? We might have beat them in a close match but there’s zero reason to believe we would crush them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullBuchanan Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 They'll be lucky to make a wild card. They won some impressive games, but they still gave up 27 unanswered to LA and got runover by some truly awful teams. A strong finish to the season is a guarantee of nothing. They're still very much the Jags. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 No one is a lock for anything in the NFL, but the Jags certainly are in a nice position given the relative projected weakness of their division. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chongli Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 No way they get the number 1 seed. Of course, we'll have to see, but I feel they are too new to this and will have the normal bumps and bruises of a young team. Look at 2019 as an example. Houston was 10-6 and beat Buffalo in the Wild Card. Then they had a 24-0 lead at KC. We all know what happened after, and the next season. They were supposed to be an up-and-coming team, until they weren't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a relatively average team, maybe slightly above average, until they prove otherwise. Some of these teams you just have to see it before you can believe in them. Like the Broncos. Everyone thought they would be awesome, and they stunk it up. They did get hot in the playoffs...A dream come back from nowhere win against the chargers, followed by a close one at Arrowhead.

Airseven Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 If and when the Jags ascend, it’s not because of their schedule. It’s because of the coach fit and a young, deep, talented roster. Also because of a QB who might very well become the next guy behind only Mahomes and Burrow as soon as this season. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurman#1 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 14 hours ago, Big Blitz said: There is a question mark it’s just a discussion! And they don’t play Miami unless you’re talking about the Bills. The beast of the East thread had me thinking about the 1 seed. Yes the Chiefs Bills and Bengals are the better teams - and barring no serious injury because obviously that changes things - but the Jaguars schedule combined with what should be a much better team then last year especially if Lawrence makes another leap, I just would find it hard to say they aren’t the favorites to get it. When you ask a yes/no question, you have to accept when everyone says no. And it should tell you the question had a very very obvious answer. I'm wirh everyone. They have a good circumstance and a chance to be better, maybe eve a lot better. But a lock? This early in the off-season? No, absolutely no way.

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Skimming through this topic, and based upon replies, I am truly confused if the 'one seed' is referring to playoffs or next year's draft. 🤔😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what has Burrow accomplished over Allen? Besides having a defense that didn't let him down to get him into the SB? People are amazing at how they let the media form their opinion on players.

Sure there’s context, but that simple fact carries weight in these kinds of debates. (Allen was a disaster in the playoffs last year.) Your point about media is lazy.

No one ever talks about this for some reason but the Bengals would have won the Super Bowl last year and the AFCCG this year if Burrow had played just a little better in each of those games. I like Burrow, he's a great QB and he has single handedly changed the narrative in Cincinnati. I just don't understand why a lot of analysts pretend he has had nothing to do with his team falling short the past couple years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, they might invite the Giants too because Daboll the best head coach ever. What about Jalen Hurts? I’m glad you asked. The Eagles are going, too. It’s going to be the first ever 29-team Super Bowl. A battle royal. Everyone is invited except the Bills… and the Pats (finally)… and the Raiders. The Raiders can’t go. I’m a little drunk.
