The Jacksonville Jaguars are traveling to play the Kansas City Chiefs today in a game that pits two of the top teams in the AFC together. Before the game begins Youth Customized Jacksonville Jaguars Jerseys , we wanted to ask the Big Cat Country team (and you!) a simple question:“How will the Jaguars do against the Chiefs today?”Alfie Crow (@AlfieBCC)Go Jaguars.Jaguars win 31-24Ryan Day (@ryaneatscake)I think this is a big game for Blake Bortles and Dede Westbrook and I don’t think we see the typical letdown game from the Jaguars offense that we’ve seen recently after productive games from this unit.Jaguars win 26-20Jon Kirland (@BCBCouch)There’s been no evidence that Blake Bortles can string together back to back strong performances, as yet. With the Chiefs knowing early that they don’t have to worry about Leonard Fournette and the offensive line being banged up despite everyone playing, I get the feeling the Jaguars just can’t put the points they’ll need on the scoreboard.Chiefs win 23-13Ryan O’Bleness (@ryanobleness)This game scares me for obvious reasons. The Kansas City offense is electric and Patrick Mahomes is every bit as good as advertised. The Chiefs also have the benefit of home-field advantage. I don’t think Mahomes has ever seen a defense of this caliber, though. The Jacksonville defense has the ability to shut down this offend unlike anybody else has been able to do. Still, I could actually see this becoming a bit of a shootout. Everybody is talking up the Chiefs’ offense vs. the Jaguars’ defense, but this game may very well be decided by what Jacksonville’s offense can do against Kansas City’s poor defense. Rainy conditions may favor the Jaguars more, and the Chiefs had one less rest day as well.Jaguars win 24-21Brian Fullford (@iambwf)I’ve rewritten this multiple times, picking the Jaguars to win, then the Chiefs www.jaguarsauthorizedshops.com , then the Jaguars, etc...With all the storylines floating about, the one thing I keep coming back to are turnovers. Mahomes has 14 touchdowns and zero interceptions. The Jaguars have one interception. These stats scream for change.My bold prediction is the Jaguars finally win the turnover battle. Partly because of the defense, but also because we see Steelers Killer Bortles (SKB).If I’m being honest, this is probably a 100 percent heart pick. These teal glasses are surgically attached to my head.Jaguars win 27-17Filip Prus (@JaxonFil)I think the Jaguars will struggle containing Mahomes in the pocket similar to Marcus Mariota a few weeks ago, and the only difference is Mahomes has a howitzer of an arm compared to Mariota’s water gun. My feeling is that the Jaguars offense will get the ball in a two-minute drill situation where they need a touchdown and Bortles and company won’t be able to overcome the crowd noise and inclement weather.Chiefs win 30-24What do you think? Got any predictions for the Jaguars vs. Chiefs game? What do you think the final score will be? Let us know in the comments below! The Jacksonville Jaguars defense came into the 2018 season with a significant degree of hype. The word “elite” was used to define the unit by fans, media, and the team. Setting such a high bar requires execution at a high level, and unfortunately the season has given us games in which the Jaguars defense looked anything but elite.Still Jacksonville Jaguars Womens T-Shirt , a 4-8 record is not indicative of how the defense has performed. The “offense is terrible” horse has been beaten to death, and while injuries are a justifiable reason for that unit under performing, a strong argument can be made that the Jaguars record could easily be flipped if the team had better execution at the quarterback and wide receiver positions.Oh yeah, throw in cooler heads off the bench too.In last night’s “O-Zone Late Night” column, John Oehser fielded a question that encapsulates the unreasonable demands that were put on the Jaguars defense. This idea that somehow this season’s failed expectations are because the defense is not playing perfect every weekend.QUESTIONThe defense was spectacular, but would it be fair to say if the defense played at anywhere close to this level a bit more often the team would not be basically playing for pride? Why would it take essentially being out of it to find your best performance?ANSWERNo, your question’s not fair because it implies somehow the Jaguars’ season is lost because the defense didn’t play all season as it did Sunday. The Jaguars’ defense played phenomenally well Sunday. They shut out a team that was scoring 33.1 points a game in its last eight games. They shut out a quarterback who had thrown at least three touchdown passes in eight consecutive games. They got some breaks to do it because the Colts could have – and probably should have – kicked at least a couple of field goals in the first half, but the point is they did it. But you don’t shut out offenses every week in the NFL these days. The Jaguars’ defense hasn’t been bad this season. It actually has been far better than its many critics have realized, and it has been hurt dramatically by rarely playing with a lead; its demise has been greatly exaggerated. The defense was as good Sunday as it has been this season – maybe ever. But it has been good enough much of the season for the Jaguars’ record to be much better than 4-8.I would not pretend that I am somehow above the person asking the question. At times my expectations of this defense have been unreasonable Jacksonville Jaguars Hats , bordering on a demand of perfection. A fans disappointment is proportional to success, especially after being minutes away from a Super Bowl, and all you need do is look at my Twitter feed to see my obscenely incorrect prediction that the Jaguars would have the division wrapped up by December, while the Patriots would be wallowing in a season absent of Super Bowl potential.This far into the season, however, such questions should not be asked. The offense trotted out one starter on the offensive line yesterday. A backup quarterback is now under center. The work horse running back has seen injury and suspension to keep him off the field. The offense coordinator has been fired. The defensive tackle drafted in the first round has not offered help off the bench.Amidst a cavalcade of misfortune, the defense is:3rd yards allowed per game3rd in passing yards per game16th in rushing yards per game5th in points per game13th in sacksWhat we saw on Sunday was a glimpse of how elite the defense can be against a team playing top shelf football. Yes the Colts had some questionable play calling, but the defense still had to embrace the opportunity and execute. Yannick Ngakoue, Myles Jack Jacksonville Jaguars Womens Hoodie , Jalen Ramsey, Dawuane Smoot, Telvin Smith, and many others did not have physical and mental lapses seen in the last Colts game.And all while the offense was playing near as bad as they did in the Titans loss. If you need to put some loses on the defense this season, have at it. I will agree that losing to Dallas and...and...and...Hard isn’t it?Titans? A 6-9 loss is a demand of perfection.Chiefs? A 14-30 loss was more about bouncing balls off helmets.Texans? A 7-20 loss where the team was driving for a second score mid 4th quarter but a tipped interception stalled the comeback.Eagles? An 18-24 loss thanks to a wide receiver fumble.Colts? A 26-29 loss thanks to another wide receiver fumble.Steelers? A 16-20 loss where the offense couldn’t get a first down in the second half.Bills? A 21-24 loss...yeah, I may be inclined to give this one to both sides. Can’t let Josh Allen run like that.The defense, at the very least, has kept the offense within striking distance.As John notes, the defense has been good enough most of the season. In a league that favors offensive production Womens Customized Jacksonville Jaguars Jerseys , it is insane to ask a defense to play a 16 game regular season as the Jaguars played yesterday.The Jaguars defense is not perfect, and surely not elite, but they are one of the best in league. They are capable of playing at an elite level. Football is a team sport. Demand more from all units on the team.
