Yes, I say play IN game. If the season were to end today, Jacksonville would be the last Wildcard team to make it in. The Dolphins are two positions out right now, with Baltimore one spot ahead. Winning the game would still require some help (we would need New England or Baltimore to lose), but it puts us in a MUCH better position. Since we can't make other teams win or lose, we just need to focus on ourselves here.
Jacksonville is tough team to figure out- as they seem to run very hot and cold. They swept a tough Houston team, blasted the Titans, and hung tough with Indi- but they were steam rolled by a mediocre Seattle, got pounded by San Fransisco, and had close calls against the Bills, Rams, and Chiefs. If the Jags are on their game though, they will be tough to [...]

Week 12
The Jaguars were able to pull off a last-minute victory on Sunday afternoon, defeating the Buffalo Bills 18-15.
After playing a below average game offensively, David Garrard was able to lead the team on a 68-yard scoring drive. The Jags added on the two point coversion on a Garrard run, to put them up 18-15 with about one minute remaining.
An interception by Anthony Smith ended the game and put the Jags two games above .500, and gave them a three game winning streak.
David Garrard didn't play all that well, but came alive when it mattered most.
Maurice Jones-Drew was held to only 66 yards on 25 carries but did rush in one touchdown to bring his season total to thirteen.
Mike Sims-Walker continued his great play by catching eight passes for 91 yards and the game-winning [...]

Through nine games thus far, the Jaguars have been able to pull off a 5-4 record that puts them third in the AFC South. More importantly, however, is that they are heading into a stretch where they are facing teams such as Buffalo, San Francisco, Miami, and Cleveland.
Although all these teams are tough competitors, if Jacksonville can pull out four wins in these games, that would put them with nine wins this season.
The other three games remaining on their schedule include New England, Indianapolis, and Houston.
The possibility of either beating Houston again, or pulling off an upset against Indianapolis or New England means that the Jaguars could just possibly see double-digit wins this season.
Although the Jaguars do have plenty of the season left to play, the odds are [...]

The Jets are 4-4 and playoff hopes are dimming after a devastating loss to the Dolphins. Coming off the Bye week they will be facing the also, 4-4 Jaguars.
Although the records might be the same, the Jaguars only impressive win comes from the 5-4 Texans, who the Jets have already defeated. Other then that they have defeated the Titans, and barely sqeaked by both the Cheifs and the Rams only winning by three in both games.
But if the Jets want to keep their playoff hopes alive they must defeat the Jaguars. So here are the keys for the Jets to beat the Jags.
Mark Sanchez can't suck: This pretty much apply's to every game the Jets will play for the rest of the season. If the Jets want to win Mark needs to manage the game. It shouldn't be hard against a Jaguars defense whos in the [...]

After a struggling Jaguars team started 0-2, the Jaguars have come back to go into their bye week at an even 3-3 record.
With more positive news rather than negative to report going into the bye week, the Jaguars have plenty to work on in order to give this team a shot for what is looking to be a wild-card spot in the playoffs.
After losing 41-0 to Seattle in week 5, the Jaguars were able to bounce back and narrowly beat a win-less St. Louis team in overtime.
The lone superstar, Maurice Jones-Drew, is proving that the more carries he gets, the better chance this team has to winning the game.
Carrying the ball 33 times against St. Louis and totalling three touchdowns, Maurice Jones-Drew is quickly becoming a top running back in the NFL.
Jones-Drew had a few words for the [...]

In what was a very surprising game, the Jacksonville Jaguars played flawless football and defeated the Tennessee Titans 37-17.
Led by a very impressive David Garrard, the Jaguars came out hot and didn't stop.
Maurice Jones-Drew only had six carries totalling 14 yards and a touchdown, but was unneeded in the second half.
Rashad Jennings got to see some playing time and ran very nicely gaining 53 yards on 9 carries.
Other rookies including WR Mike Thomas and CB Derek Cox played wonderful, and helped the Jaguars blow past the Titans.
Mike Sims-Walker exploded for the third straight week and had 91 yards and 2 TD's.
With Sims-Walker becoming the number one wide out, Holt settling in nicely at the second spot and Mike Thomas playing great, this Jaguars receiving corps is [...]
