Manning will be fine. This is minor, unless you are a fan of another AFC South team and will keep dreaming away…....

And the Jags might not even be the second best team behind the Colts in the division either.

And our lineup might look shaky now but we will see who is laughing when the season ends.

We’ll see how manning does while he’s on his back. I think Derrick, Quentin, and Paul will have fun breaking his other knee.

Please guys. Marvins knee burst. There was a rupture and structural damage. And nothing was done about it. Then he hurt his other knee. And as a receiver its much worse. Reports are that he is running without pain for the first time since he got hurt though.

Manning had a clean up. He will probably feel better with that junk out of knee. It recently got infected which is why they did this. Dungy says he might be back in 3 weeks. So guessing 3 to 6 weeks.

Our offense is not breaking in any new starters at receiver. Manning will find ways to work with guys and when he comes back they might be rusty early on but we are playing the Bears week 1. Then the QB less Vikings week 2. Actually the Vikings and Bears both have better defenses than the Jags do.

Somehow even if the Jags outplay us week 3 at home they always find a way to lose. Colts go into bye week 3-0. I don’t care if they win by just one point. Just get the wins.

The tough stretch is in November.

People can be so wussy nowadays. They make such a big deal if you have a hangnail. Manning will be rested and ready to go when the seaon starts.

You think Peyton can outrun Harvey? Peyton is a HOF QB, no doubt, but HArvey can catch him. Did you see anyone of his film?

I was kinda being sarcastic.

:)

when you say the Vikings and Bears have a better defense than the Jags? Because neither is true. The Jags were better than the Bears in every def. category last year and the Vikings were only better than the Jags in rushing yards and rushing yards per game.

The Bears have no offense which hurts their defense a lot. They are on the field too much. Injuries killed them last year. It’s not usually as tough of a D for Manning though because he knows the cover 2 too well. But, when healthy they can be one helluva D. But, they will continue to struggle like last year and decline if they get no help from the offense again.

Vikings should be better this year on the D line with Allen. Their secondary is suspect though. But, that D line might be amazing.

In terms of overall pass rush though I think both have an edge over the Jags. Thats mainly what I was talking about.

JMO of course. We will see after the first 3 games. Hopefully our o-line uses Manning’s procedure as motivation to protect him better than ever.

But, the funny thing is that the Colts had statistically better Ds than any of these teams even with thier injuries.

I am not really putting down the Jags D. Overall they might be better than the Bears and Vikings but I am thinking more about the D line…...which is the key.

The Jags offense is better than both those teams. They have a QB too, something the Bears and Vikings lack.

I am also not competely sold on the Vikings as being this huge contender like people are claiming they are.

Can the regular season start already please?

And if the Jags D line proves to be better than I expect I will come here and eat crow later.

Personally the D line that often scares me is the Titans when they are healthy.
