Any team coming off an emotional Monday night victory and going on the road would find it tough to not have a let down.  The Jaguars played tough and were within a few plays from getting a victory.  I have not lost hope on this team.  The defense is playing great.  The offense? not so much.  But, let's look at what they have faced:

Carolina - Monsoon

New Orleans - Great blitzing defense from one of the NFLs best Def Coordinators

Cincinnati - A team on the rise with one of the best defenses in the league.....in a wind storm

Pittsburgh - In Heinz field against one of the best defenses in the league

Baltimore - Probably the best defense in the league

Houston - Top 10 defense.  Played in Texas after a Monday night game

Blaine Gabbert, a rookie, with a lockout, thrown into the fray and look at what he has had to face.  Talk about being thrown into the fire.  And what weapons does he have to go to battle with? The worst WR corp in the NFL.  An offensive line that gives him absolutely no time to sit in the pocket.  The offensive line is young, injured and inconsistent. 

To judge Blaine Gabbert's play at this point would be premature.

I am going to make 3 predictions:

1.  The Jaguars will win the next 3 games in a row - GUARANTEED

2.  Blaine Gabbert will finally have a chance to show what he is capable of.  He finally will be playing teams that are not the best in the league defense wise.  He will have the best offensive statistics to date.

3. Yes, I am saying it. The Jaguars will win the AFC South Division.
