Is it me, or are there a lot of analyst ACTUALLY picking the Jags?

[bryn10]

How dare they pick against the perennial power house Carolina Panthers. Didn't someone remind them we won 7 games last year

 

 

People are allowed to have predictions, just let it go.

No they aren't.

[ChampD1012]

They lost their big weapon in Julien Thomas, we lost KB so that's a wash, they also lost their starting DE. I don't get it.

For what it's worth, currently a majority of ESPN analysts have the Rams beating the Seahawks week 1. So there's that, but still.

Two things...

First...Julius Thomas has shown NOTHING because he was injured.  Jacksonville was planning on playing two TE sets with him so I won't call losing Thomas and losing KB a WASH....Carolina had the biggest loss BY FAR...the starting DE though is huge...i'll admit that...

Second...the reason why folks are picking the Rams to beat the Seahawks is because a) It's in St. Louis and b) The Rams have ALWAYS played seattle tough.  And Seattle lost to these guys at home last year with Austin Davis as their QB I believe.  It damn sure wasn't sam Bradford starting...

The Rams aren't a slouch...they are a good football team in one of the toughest divisions in football...

[Sapper]

Because Jacksonville isn't a bad team and the analysts are looking at X's and O's while posters on a fan forum are looking at incredibly biased topics related to their team.

Ron's teams start slow

Worst WR corp in the NFL

Defense is built/schemed to live and die on DL play (Star out and an unconditioned CJ)

Question exist about if OL can run block (Kalil's actual condition for the game a question too)

An away game

 

 

 

 

I don't think it's a huge slap in the face to question who wins what should be a close game.  I think we have the edge but I think it is a close game.  I mean we have shown we can lose games just on our inability to punt a football 

 

don't forget, Carolina has a team?

[hepcat]

I'm convinced that most analysts extent of knowledge of the Panthers the past two seasons comes from watching the Monday Night Football game against the Eagles last year when David "I'm fuging Canadian" Foulcult started at LT and got abused all game, and that one Philly Brown sure-TD drop against the Pats in Week 3 of the preseason.  They say "OMG Kelvin Benjamin is out all year who will catch balls?  OMG their offensive line is horrible who will block for Cam?  OMG they don't have Greg Hardy anymore they're going to give up 35978 yards a game!"

poo man, this team is DEEP at all positions.  Even WR.  They don't have a stud at WR with Benjamin out but the Panthers have never been a win-with-the-pass team.  They punch you in the mouth with defense and run the ball downy our throat.  Guess what?  That defense from last year will be better with improvements made in the secondary and Shaq Thompson.  The running game looked great in the preseason and the offensive line is LIGHT YEARS ahead of where it was last year at this time.  

I love when the Panthers get poo on by the media because they always play better and having the fuging 3-13 Jacksonville Jaguars picked over the hung-with-the-Seahawks-for-three-quarters-in-Seattle-in-the-playoffs Panthers.  fuging.  Retarded.  Love it.

[Chaos]

Zero fugs given.  Just like we say at the beginning of every NFL season, if we want the respect and the picks from the analysts, we need to win games first.  We're no gimmie in the eyes of the national media, and won't be unless we start 5-0 or something to that effect.

 

[TheRumGone]

I would not be surprised if we lose but I think we pull it out late in the fourth meanwhile I chug six beers in 30 minutes causing an immediate blackout as soon as the clock hits 00:00

maybe.....maybe they watched the Vikings game last year. 

Our 3rd string running game looked great.  Starting offense (which is all that matters), struggled all preseason attempting to run.

maybe they don't see improvements in the secondary and see it as....Carolina just got slower and old as poo on the back end.

I have yet to figure out why the opinions of these guys that are paid to spew bullshit ruffles so many of your panties. Do their opinions honestly matter to you? How much do their opinions affect the game? Not at all so quit listening to them if it upsets you

[Datawire]

When in doubt most of these guys will go with the home team. They don't know a damn thing about either team.

[Snake]

Probably has something to do with what "appears" to be a significantly improved Bortles going into year 2.....if that is true, that one improvement is legitimately BIG in terms of impacting their overall team.

 

Luke JJockle is a turnstile at LT.  I don't care how much you improve when you LT can't stop back up DEs it's going to be a long day. But I forgot our team is terrible every year how could we ever win. 

[Ivan The Awesome]

The media will take one thing and run with it. KB is down, all of a sudden The Panthers are sucky, they are a horrible organization for not getting Cam weapons and Hurney is the worst GM to date.

 

 

When in reality, they dismissed the fact the O line was revamped and is upgraded. They went out and spent a 2nd round pick on a weapon. One of Cam's older weapons was brought back. His weapon of choice is still on the team, healthy and ready to go. Oh and by the way, we have a new GM. 

 

Perspective gentlemen. 

[pantherclaw]

Best Jags team they've fielded since Brunell was the QB. 

Panthers start slow, and are without their best WR. 

The game is in Jacksonville. 

I understand why outsiders wouldn't pick us.
