Most important games left

The Jags should have easily won that game, but they pulled a Miami and lost due to stupid mistakes and occasional head scratching playcalls. And, although Lawrence made some terrible throws at times, that fumble when he was untouched was a killer. With one exception (not counting the two missed 50+ yard FGs), every time they got within scoring range, they did something stupid and came away with no points. Yes, the Ravens looked good, and Jackson made some big plays while making defenders look like idiots, but they didn't win that game, the Jags lost it. (Must be a Florida thing!)

The Jags should NOT have easily won that game.

Baltimore outgained Jax 396-333, including an advantage of 251-73 on the ground.
Baltimore won the turnover battle.
Baltimore converted 41% of their third downs, Jacksonville converted 23%.

Not sure you would give bonus points to Jax for making stupid mistakes.

As much as I want to beat Dallas, the 2 games after are more critical.
We have to beat both the Ravens and Bills to finish things out.

If we must win 1 of the last 3, I would probably say beating the Ravens is the highest priority.

Of course I want the team to win out, but being realistic about things.

What are your thoughts?

I think the Dallas gm, unfortunately, is the easiest .. and it’s not easy.

Ravens are tough.

I don’t like the Bills match up. I fear they might be peaking. They have more big game experience than Miami.

I hope I’m wrong.

Okay, maybe it wouldn't have been an easy win. But, I was just comparing them to how Miami has played sometimes, where they had several opportunities to make big plays and score, but they did something stupid or choked. IOW, they could have won, if they didn't screw it up! Being a long-time Miami fan, I consider myself an expert when it comes to being able to recognize a team choking, making dumb mistakes, and basically giving away a game.

Dallas was embarrassed by Buffalo. So, they should be on their game. I think the news that they had clinched a playoff spot made them play with less urgency.

But I do think Miami can win this one, especially if the run game gets going. Perhaps, Hunt will return. Jackson with the oblique is really just about how much pain he can deal with.

Hill should be back. The Miami crowd should be electric, playoff caliber loud.

if it was me I would shoot the oblique up
