  1. indy whole season comes down to chargers vs houston Saturday @ 430 if houston wins they are eliminated from the playoffs.. if that happens do they even play rivers Sunday ?

  2. This could or will be a very hard game for Jags, would not be surprised if we lose..Colts will be up for this & definitely out to ruin the run..Rivers has still got it, Jags have to be on point to win, same with Titans match up too

  3. It's easy to say jaguars will easily win this game but even though Phillip Rivers has 2 losses, he is not playing bad and division games are always tough so I have no prediction

  4. They try to find a way to talk themselves into not believing in those Jags boys and get proven wrong in a big way every week. Then turnaround and do it again the next week just because they’re stuck on stupid. Whatever man.

  5. LMAO assuming Trevor is going to limp against this secondary without it's starting CBs. Is this basement boys or PFF. I was disgusted by the projections especially considering this is supposed to be a fact based show. I got to hurl now. LMAO unbelievable fail episode.

  6. A couple notes:
    1. I appreciate the statistical deep dive (as always), but I think this misses the psychology of the moment entirely. This isn’t just another week for Jacksonville, this is a potential divisional clincher with the 1-seed still in play. You’re talking about potential regression as if this game exists in a vacuum. It doesn’t. The Jags are treating this like a playoff game, and that focus and urgency has been their identity all season. Suggesting they’ll just “take a step down” undersells the edge this team plays with.
    2. Also, the Week 14 game tells a clearer story than the framing here. Yes, Daniel Jones got hurt, yet Jacksonville was already up 14–7, and by halftime it was 28–10. Indy’s lone first-half TD came on an 11-play drive after the Jags had already turned a Devin Lloyd INT into more points on the board. The Colts haven’t shown they can consistently sustain drives against this front without help. The Jags held them to 89 rushing yards, and since then, Trevor Lawrence has gone nuclear. According to you, he's at a 91.6 PFF grade, 12 TDs, zero turnover-worthy plays over four games, including hanging 34 on a top-3 scoring defense IN DENVER, putting an end to an 11-game winning streak and a 12-game home winning streak, which were the longest runs in the NFL. The idea that Indy’s 22nd-ranked scoring defense suddenly has answers just doesn’t really hold up.
    3. The bigger point, though, is the compounding effect of Jacksonville’s strengths. You guys rightly praised the Jags’ run defense (3.6 YPC allowed), which directly attacks the Colts’ entire offensive identity (7-0 when rushing for 110+, 1-7 when they don’t). If you force this game into Philip Rivers’ hands, you’re inviting the same turnover-worthy plays that buried Indy against San Francisco. These aren't two volatile teams meeting in the middle, one's rising, and the other's falling, there's no doubt about it. Jacksonville’s strengths counter Indianapolis’s necessities, and that mismatch is more pronounced now than it was in Week 14, not less.

    I’ll leave it at this: wouldn’t shock me if Trev’s on the sideline in the 4th after 300+ yards and 3 TDs, letting Nick Mullens have some fun against a worn-down Colts defense.

  7. I guess what bothers me is we do look at what’s happening. We keep going back to the past or what we project the jags to lose. Right now how are they playing? Give me that analysis
