NFL Preview: Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jaguars are experiencing something of a slump in fortunes. They are, and always have been, an odd team in this respect: never have they had any true stars; real game-breakers; franchise names; Hall of Fame candidates, and yet they’ve always been relatively competitive.

The arrival of Maurice ‘Mighty Mouse/Pocket Hercules’ Jones-Drew has given them a star, but despite his enormous impact, his efforts have done little but keep them afloat.


Nothing much has changed in Florida this offseason, and although the Colts (the perennial winners of their division) appear just as stationary, the Titans and Texans are getting better if training camp is anything to go by.

What does this mean for the Jags?

A long year that ultimately costs Jack Del Rio his job…

If they win more than 7 games I will be gob-smacked. Prediction: 6-10 and bottom of the division, a brace of games behind the Titans.
