The saving grace for Jacksonville is the defense, the offense needs to score and score often.

New England will rip them to shreds

Pats should win this but i think it will be closer than a lot of people think. Certainly not an annihilation job like against the Titans.

Im glad the Steelers lost. I'm more scared of Pitt than Jacksonville even if the Jags won.

I really want to see the Jags upset but I also want to see a really good game.

Pittsburgh has a higher octane offence and better weapons (imo) in Bell, Brown, Bryant and JuJu...but New England is so well coached and brady to gronk is always pretty epic.

cant wait to watch this game.

Pats don't cough up the ball like Roethlisberger does so the Jags are going to be in tough. Defensive TDs and points off turnovers are the main reason they beat Pittsburgh twice.

As a Jags fan I think the Pats win by 10+. Stranger things have happened though. Bortles in the Super Bowl would be hilarious, especially if he won and then got replaced in the offseason.

Jags in a shocker.

If there's one major flaw Brady has in his game, it's that he gets rattled far easier than any other all time great QB. Probably because he's had a brick wall of an o-line for the majority of his career.

Jacksonville has the recipe to be a major thorn in Brady's side; Ball control offense combined with a vicious pass rush and a tight coverage playing secondary.

Brady's entire career is built on not getting rattled under pressure, not really sure what your talking about with that point.

The Jaguars defense does have the ability to pose some problems for the Patriots regardless of the 42 points they have up this week.

How high are you? Brady is literally the antithesis to this "point". Cool under pressure is his stereotype...

Honestly would rather see Bortles and the Jags over all the weapons the Steelers have on offense. Still going to be a tough game, especially when you have Coughlin in your corner...ugh. Just hard to picture Bortles winning in Gillette but I said the same thing about him winning a playoff game in Pittsburgh so maybe. I'll take the Pats in a close one with Gronk taking over.

I'm much happier to see the jags then pitt. I'm not worried about the Pats offense; I am worried about stopping a team with the legs of Pitt.

For the same reason, if we can get through the Jags, I'd rather see Minn then NO. Even at "home" (the superbowl is so different the home field isn't the same thing)

Defensive gameplan for this week should be same as it was for Titans. Load up on the run and keep the QB in the pocket and force him to beat you with his arm and making reads.

Pats're going to win the Super Bowl.

I don't know. Assuming that they beat Jacksonville , stylewise the Eagle wouldn't scare me much but the Vikings sort of do. Plus them being at home for the SB and all

I,d still favor the Pats over the Vikings but i wouldn't go into the game being 100% confidant.

In any case we need to focus on next week first and foremost. 1 step at the time
