If a team is just bad and lacks talent, I agree, playing them after win or a loss is meaningless. But when a team has talent, has lost a number of close games, and is on the verge of elimination from any hopes of a post season....it's a bad time to catch them! And no, coaches aren't going to say that out loud, players are not going to say it either, but the Jags are due to have break out game!

Just my opinion of course, I hope it doesn't happen, but it isn't superstition or a jinx, it's just how bad do you want it. Playing a talented, desperate, and winless team at home is going to be a challenge!

Add in the fact that I just got a call from 56th Street and was asked if I have time to suit up on Sunday because no one else is available to suit up for this game and it doesn't look good for the shoe tomorrow.

I agree with everything here. But, then we would be operating under the assumption that the Jags players have not at least partially chalked this up as a lost season.

They are saying my man Joe will be starting, now, and Anthony is downgraded to doubtful. Will be interesting to see who steps up as depleted as da Coats are.
