- 0:10[SPEAKER_00]: I'm Jordan Louder.
- 0:11[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks so much for being here Monday, December 7th, a victory Monday for your Jacksonville Jack Wars getting pretty used to that being the case around here, excited to dive into this game once again.
- 0:23[SPEAKER_00]: look a little bit ahead as well for your Jacksonville Jaguars, who are in sole possession of first place in the AFC South, after a resounding, dominant 36 to 19 victory over the Colts, and just the last five, six weeks for the Jaguars, you know, since the by week is looked like a different team in a lot of ways, there's been ups and downs, certainly a major down against the Texans a few weeks back.
- 0:51[SPEAKER_00]: You look back and Travis CTN, he said it every time he thinks about that game, he thinks about it every day and it's just a tough pill to swallow.
- 0:59[SPEAKER_00]: But the Jack Wars, they do control their own destiny in the AFC South and towards hosting a home playoff game.
- 1:07[SPEAKER_00]: How incredible would that be?
- 1:08[SPEAKER_00]: First time since 2022, the Jaguars have the opportunity to potentially host a playoff game as division champions.
- 1:15[SPEAKER_00]: We're gonna dive into this one.

- 1:34[SPEAKER_00]: So, Jacksonville Jaguars,
- 1:38[SPEAKER_00]: I think that I want to start with where they're at in the standings right now.
- 1:44[SPEAKER_00]: The goal needs to be more than 11 wins and 11 wins are staring the Jaguar's right in the face because you have the Jets at home next week and then you have the Titans and Jacksonville to finish the season, right?
- 1:57[SPEAKER_00]: So those two games absolutely you need to win those two games, but you also have the
- 2:07[SPEAKER_00]: The Jaguars, the way things stand right now, they're not going to be favored to beat the Broncos in Denver and all likelihood.
- 2:14[SPEAKER_00]: Things could change a little bit here, but you never know.
- 2:16[SPEAKER_00]: I would say the Jaguars will not be favored.
- 2:21[SPEAKER_00]: But the Texans are right on their heels.
- 2:25[SPEAKER_00]: The Texans, as I mentioned before, that game stinks so much because of what could have been.
- 2:31[SPEAKER_00]: couldn't kind of bury the Texans and put them in a place where they're not in a position to potentially threaten for the division title.
- 2:38[SPEAKER_00]: But the Jaguars are one game ahead of the Texans, the tiebreaker.
- 2:44[SPEAKER_00]: I think right now the Texans would be in front because they've played more conference games, but I think at the end of the year, that tiebreaker would go down to like strength of victory or strength of schedule if the Jaguars and Texans end up with the same record.
- 3:01[SPEAKER_00]: Potentially, obviously that would mean the Jaguar's take care of business against the Colts and the Texans are taking care of business and the Texans, their road ahead, not all that difficult.
- 3:12[SPEAKER_00]: I mean it really isn't.
- 3:13[SPEAKER_00]: They're probably going to be favored in every game they play from here on out.
- 3:18[SPEAKER_00]: after what happened last night against the chiefs, kind of beaten the chiefs, beating themselves to an extent.
- 3:24[SPEAKER_00]: They play the cardinals, the Texans do next week.
- 3:27[SPEAKER_00]: They then play the Raiders, both of those games are at home.
- 3:30[SPEAKER_00]: They're at the Los Angeles Chargers, that could be a tough game.
- 3:34[SPEAKER_00]: Chargers are playing the Eagles tonight, we'll see how they're performing.
- 3:38[SPEAKER_00]: And then they finish the season and Houston against the cult, so they have three of their next four at home.
- 3:44[SPEAKER_00]: And I think they'll be favored in all those games, unless the chargers kind of dramatically shift their trajectory over the next couple.
- 3:55[SPEAKER_00]: And again, they play Monday night football tonight.
- 3:57[SPEAKER_00]: So the Texans, the point is, they're probably, I mean, they might win out.
- 4:03[SPEAKER_00]: And they're on a five game winning streak right now.
- 4:06[SPEAKER_00]: They might finish the season with six, seven, eight, nine straight wins.
- 4:12[SPEAKER_00]: That defense is legit, and you now have CJ Stroudback.
- 4:18[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think they're Super Bowl contender, but you never know.
- 4:21[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that offensive line still is not a great offensive line.
- 4:26[SPEAKER_00]: But the Texans are right there, and if the Jaguar slip up, even though we're feeling all excited and fired up about this victory, if the Jaguar slip up at all, the Texans are right there.
- 4:44[SPEAKER_00]: So the Jags, I mean, the goal needs to be to, obviously, within the building, it's, you know, go 1 and 0 every week, but the goal needs to be to win these games, all these games.
- 4:56[SPEAKER_00]: If the Jag Wars go 3 and 1, over the next 4, the Texans might catch them.
- 5:03[SPEAKER_00]: And then you're talking about, again, going down to like strength of victory or strength of schedule probably in the tiebreakers.
- 5:11[SPEAKER_00]: because I think they're probably gonna finish with the same division record, same conference record, potentially, all these different things.
- 5:18[SPEAKER_00]: We don't need to go down the whole rabbit hole right now, but the point is, the jacks need to handle their business.
- 5:24[SPEAKER_00]: They need to continue to go one and a no every weekend.
- 5:27[SPEAKER_00]: At Broncos will be big for multiple reasons.
- 5:30[SPEAKER_00]: We're not gonna overlook the jets.
- 5:32[SPEAKER_00]: We're gonna preview that game a lot this week or we're gonna talk about it a lot, but at Broncos is gonna be huge because if the jack wars do handle their business
- 5:41[SPEAKER_00]: not only do the Jaguars potentially need that game against the Broncos to stay ahead of the Texans in their own division, but if you beat the Broncos, you then have an opportunity to potentially end up being a two seed instead of a three seed, which, you know, the higher the seed, the better, in my opinion, and I don't think they're going to catch the Patriots.
- 6:03[SPEAKER_00]: The Jaguars, because the Patriots have a, you know,
- 6:08[SPEAKER_00]: It's not an easy schedule.
- 6:09[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they have two games they should absolutely win.
- 6:11[SPEAKER_00]: And then they have the bills in the Ravens.
- 6:13[SPEAKER_00]: The Ravens aren't playing great ball right now.
- 6:15[SPEAKER_00]: The bills, that'll be a tough game.
- 6:17[SPEAKER_00]: They've already beaten the bills once.
- 6:19[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, if the if the Patriots lose a couple.
- 6:25[SPEAKER_00]: The Jacks have potentially catch them, but the Broncos, the Jacks actually have the opportunity to knock them off and, you know, kind of help their playoffs seeding at the same time while also helping themselves to stay ahead of the Texans in the division.
- 6:41[SPEAKER_00]: If the Jack Wars do get jumped by the Texans.
- 6:44[SPEAKER_00]: I think that they still have a really good shot at the wild card.
- 6:49[SPEAKER_00]: I think that they would probably still be the favorites for the wild card.
- 6:52[SPEAKER_00]: But again, we have to go back to looking at the chargers because the chargers currently, when you look at these standings, are in the wild card.
- 7:05[SPEAKER_00]: So I think you're rooting for the Eagles tonight.
- 7:08[SPEAKER_00]: Monday night football.
- 7:09[SPEAKER_00]: The chargers are currently the sixth seed.
- 7:15[SPEAKER_00]: The Texans also play the chargers coming up.
- 7:17[SPEAKER_00]: So that's like another interesting one.
- 7:20[SPEAKER_00]: But I think the Jag wars will probably be pretty locked in for a wild card spot if they end up getting jumped by the Texans here over the last month of the season.
- 7:36[SPEAKER_00]: Because the Texans are currently the seven seed.
- 7:38[SPEAKER_00]: The chargers are the six seed.
- 7:39[SPEAKER_00]: The bills are the five seed.
- 7:41[SPEAKER_00]: The eight seed is the cults.
- 7:43[SPEAKER_00]: And there's nobody else really close.
- 7:45[SPEAKER_00]: And the cults, you control your own destiny against them.
- 7:50[SPEAKER_00]: So the Jags really good chance now to make the playoffs.
- 7:54[SPEAKER_00]: I believe according to the athletic playoff simulator.
- 7:59[SPEAKER_00]: They have a 98% chance to make the playoffs.
- 8:01[SPEAKER_00]: Now the Jag wars do.
- 8:03[SPEAKER_00]: And as long as there's a percentile, you never know, but I think you can feel pretty good about this group.
- 8:10[SPEAKER_00]: Now, getting to this actual game and kind of analysis of what's going on to me, the coaching job has been nothing short of incredible for the jag wars.
- 8:17[SPEAKER_00]: And a lot of credit has to go to the players getting the job done as well too.
- 8:24[SPEAKER_00]: But you look at the jag wars since the buy.
- 8:27[SPEAKER_00]: They have scored 30, 29, 35, 27, 25, and 36 there, putting up points.
- 8:37[SPEAKER_00]: And in three of their last four games, they have blown out their opponent.
- 8:42[SPEAKER_00]: And they have blown out the Titans and the Colts in consecutive weeks.
- 8:46[SPEAKER_00]: And I know the Titans aren't good right now.
- 8:48[SPEAKER_00]: I don't tell the Browns.
- 8:52[SPEAKER_00]: to beat the Titans 25 to 3 and Tennessee and come home and beat the cold's 36 to 19.
- 8:57[SPEAKER_00]: That's got to feel good for a Jaguar's fan and the coaching job because the way that they're instilling confidence, the way they're teaching, the way they're putting players in positions to succeed based on their skill sets on both sides of the ball and special teams to me is really no pun intended, it's special right now.
- 9:22[SPEAKER_00]: Pretty much everything.
- 9:24[SPEAKER_00]: Is it perfect, no?
- 9:25[SPEAKER_00]: Is it a perfect roster, no?
- 9:27[SPEAKER_00]: But I feel like they're getting the most out of the players that are here and players are ascending in their roles on both sides of the ball, all three phases of the game.
- 9:38[SPEAKER_00]: Players are ascending at the right time and you want to be ascending and December.
- 9:44[SPEAKER_00]: And to January, the Jaguars, I don't care who you are.
- 9:48[SPEAKER_00]: I wouldn't want to play the Jaguars right now in the way they're playing football.
- 9:51[SPEAKER_00]: everything's pretty much rolling and it's not perfect every week, but the passing game is ascending.
- 9:57[SPEAKER_00]: The running game is strong.
- 10:00[SPEAKER_00]: The weapons on offense are very talented.
- 10:02[SPEAKER_00]: The offensive line does a good job most weeks.
- 10:07[SPEAKER_00]: Defensive front, best run defense and football.
- 10:10[SPEAKER_00]: They force turnovers.
- 10:12[SPEAKER_00]: They've become a lot more aggressive and coverage, more confident and coverage.
- 10:18[SPEAKER_00]: I wouldn't want to play them right now.
- 10:20[SPEAKER_00]: coaching and the personnel just doing a great job.
- 10:24[SPEAKER_00]: Trevor Lawrence, what a day for him.
- 10:26[SPEAKER_00]: And I know like it wasn't perfect statistically for Trevor or for any of the players on offense, because it was pretty damn rainy.
- 10:34[SPEAKER_00]: I was out there.
- 10:35[SPEAKER_00]: It was wet the whole game.
- 10:37[SPEAKER_00]: It was raining.
- 10:39[SPEAKER_00]: And so the ball was wet.
- 10:40[SPEAKER_00]: There was just, it wasn't ideal conditions for a dominant passing
- 10:48[SPEAKER_00]: You know, in my opinion, it was pretty dominant throwing the ball down the field.
- 10:52[SPEAKER_00]: And yes, there were some drops early on for Trevor.
- 10:54[SPEAKER_00]: There was some mist throws too.
- 10:56[SPEAKER_00]: 17 of 30 probably should have been about 20, 21 of 30.
- 11:02[SPEAKER_00]: With some passes that could have been or should have been caught.
- 11:04[SPEAKER_00]: 244 yards, two touchdowns, and Trevor Lawrence is playing really good football throw in the ball down the field, being able to attack the middle, and how about Brian Thomas Jr.
- 11:17[SPEAKER_00]: I'd say he's back, another very good game from Brian Thomas Jr. Six targets, three catches, and none of the guys outside of Tim Patrick had like these super efficient games.
- 11:30[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, Patrick also had a drop, but like you look at Jacobi Myers, this is the first game.
- 11:35[SPEAKER_00]: He was targeted 10 times and only had four catches.
- 11:38[SPEAKER_00]: One was a drop, there was, you know, inaccurate football,
- 11:43[SPEAKER_00]: That I attribute to the rain.
- 11:45[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think that you look at the 40% catch rate for Jacobi Myers or the 50% catch rate for Britain's strange or the 50% catch rate for Brian Thomas Jr. in this game and say that's like indicative of something that's going to be a trend moving forward.
- 12:00[SPEAKER_00]: I just think that it was the weather conditions in this one.
- 12:04[SPEAKER_00]: but BTJ, catching a pass, going kind of like up the seam, down the middle, you'll love to see that.
- 12:12[SPEAKER_00]: And then the amazing one hand at grab he had, that was sick, down the sideline.
- 12:20[SPEAKER_00]: Jacobi Myers made some good plays as well.
- 12:22[SPEAKER_00]: It scored the touchdown on the slot fade.
- 12:25[SPEAKER_00]: Haven't seen a lot of slot fades in Jacksonville lately.
- 12:28[SPEAKER_00]: They were very prevalent when it was, Doug Peterson and Christian Kirk and Trevor Lawrence, but it was good seeing that.
- 12:36[SPEAKER_00]: It was good seeing Britain strange, making it a, obviously an impact as a receiver.
- 12:43[SPEAKER_00]: But he was very heavily felt like Travis E.
- 12:47[SPEAKER_00]: T.N.'
- 12:47[SPEAKER_00]: 's first touchdown.
- 12:50[SPEAKER_00]: believe it was for such a first or second, uh, what a big block that he had to steal off Zagar Franklin.
- 12:56[SPEAKER_00]: He popped him and then he didn't, he wasn't able to like, uh, maintain contact with his arms and hands, but then he continued to fight and got back with him.
- 13:07[SPEAKER_00]: So like, it was just a good rep effort wise and physicality wise and you saw several guys on that play really kind of manhandling their opponents and fighting through the whistle.
- 13:18[SPEAKER_00]: Just love that.
- 13:19[SPEAKER_00]: Did see Basel Tutton with the fumbles in this one?
- 13:22[SPEAKER_00]: I think concussed came back maybe, I don't, I mean, hopefully he's doing all right after this one.
- 13:31[SPEAKER_00]: But what a day for that, that offense and the effort, the,
- 13:39[SPEAKER_00]: Big players stepping up and making big time plays on offense.
- 13:42[SPEAKER_00]: Devin Lloyd now has five interceptions this year.
- 13:45[SPEAKER_00]: This is a guy who has been such a difference maker for the Jag wars.
- 13:49[SPEAKER_00]: When he's out on the field there, a lot better football team.
- 13:52[SPEAKER_00]: Same thing, I mean Josh Heinz Allen, I thought was playing with his hair on fire on defense, doing a really good job.
- 13:58[SPEAKER_00]: Greg knew some how about him getting his first interception for the Jag wars as well.
- 14:03[SPEAKER_00]: And he's a player that
- 14:05[SPEAKER_00]: I was sitting there yesterday, it's like, gosh, they got a re-sign this guy.
- 14:08[SPEAKER_00]: They got a re-sign this guy.
- 14:09[SPEAKER_00]: They got a re-sign this guy.
- 14:10[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be an interesting offseason in Jackson's a little bit.
- 14:13[SPEAKER_00]: We don't need to go too far down that road right now, because it's a lot of football left to be played.
- 14:19[SPEAKER_00]: Four games left.
- 14:19[SPEAKER_00]: Your Jaguars are playing the Jets next week, then they're at Denver, then they're at Indian, then they finish at home against the Titans.
- 14:26[SPEAKER_00]: They need to win these games, point blank period, end of story, win these games.
- 14:31[SPEAKER_00]: You control your own destiny, and the Texans can't catch you.
- 14:35[SPEAKER_00]: But the Texans are very hot right now.
- 14:38[SPEAKER_00]: You want to win the division, you want to have a home playoff game.
- 14:41[SPEAKER_00]: You could potentially have multiple home playoff games.
- 14:44[SPEAKER_00]: If you beat the Broncos, and you catch them.
- 14:47[SPEAKER_00]: So that's where we're at.
