 The Jacksonville Jaguars still have a chance after the 35-31 loss to the Colts, but the 7-7 Jaguars have two win the next two games on the schedule. The good news is that the final game is against the Browns and the bad news is that the next game against another desperate team, the New England Patriots. There are o games left at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium on the regular season schedule or in the postseason, if they make it that far. The team has dropped three of their last four games, though this has been a particular challenging bit of the schedule. It is too bad that just as David Garrard seems to be graduating from game manager to game breaker and an actual receiving threat in Mike Sims-Walker has emerged Jacksonville seems likely to miss the playoffs. Maurice Jones-Drew has been phenomenal as a feature back too, so this team could be a very real contender next season. Still, it is 2009 and the NFL is all about winning now. The team has to beat these next two teams to get to nine wins. The defense has not been bad. They have held the Texans to 18 points. So, despite giving up 35 to Indy this team has shown that they can stop an offense that is not as gifted as the Colts. This means that the Jaguars have a chance in every game as long as they are not playing the Colts or Saints, who are both perfect so far this season. This 2009 NFL season has been exciting for Jacksonville football fans and it could continue on into the postseason. Get your Jaguars tickets and follow the team to see if they can rise above the rest in this mad dash for the playoffs in the AFC.
