As Chiefs fans all too often in the past we have been in the situation the Jaguars find themselves in with a top defense and generic play it safe offense. Like them we always convinced ourselves we were better due to experience, defense, run game or something else. But it basically never worked out that way when playing a top QB.
The defense, though talented, would get somewhat exposed when confronted with an elite offense. The defensive ranks it would turn where a bit elevated due to some weaker opponents. They would play okay but not good enough to overcome the offensive issues, especially on the road. More importantly the other QB would make the one or two plays needed to extend drives and put up an extra couple of TDs with us kicking field goals instead. As a fan base we were left with the classics like “we were better” or “if only this pass was completed.”
That is where the Jags are now. They simply won’t be able to score enough. Denver gave everything, physically and emotionally, in a home game and we still pulled it out at the end. I don’t see the Jaguars being able to do anything different to keep us below 30 points at home which will not be good enough for them to win.
