Jaguars Fans are Very Confident Heading into Chiefs Game

by Joel Thorman on Nov 2, 2009 11:14 AM CST in 2009 Kansas City Chiefs Campaign

Ryan over at KC Chiefs Blog pointed this out to us this morning but the Jacksonville Jaguars fans appear to be confident in their team's ability to beat our Kansas City Chiefs. In fact, incredibly confident.

Pick	Team	Pick %
	Kansas City	7%
	Jacksonville	93%

These numbers come from the Jags official website. They're not complete homers, either, with only 54% of them picking the Jags to beat the previously 0-6 Titans.

Sorry, Jags. There's no question you're the superior team in this matchup but you needed overtime to beat the Rams and were on the wrong end of a 41-0 stomping courtesy of the Seahawks.

I don't think Chiefs fans are confident going into this game but when you're playing a team like the Jags, who don't really excel in any category, it's tough to be that confident.

As I've been looking over the Jags stats, I noticed that they're not very good in any one area except for rushing the ball (8th in yards). And even then, they're 23rd in attempts so is that a few big runs (like MJD's 80 and 79 yarder yesterday) or is that consistently producing 5-7 yard runs?

I'm not sure yet. But we'll find out this week as we preview the Jags.

Familiarize yourself with Big Cat Country, SB Nation's Jags site.

Dude

the RAIDERS are better than us. They beat us once already, topped the Eagles who gave us an ass-lashing of epic proportion, and stayed much closer to SD than we managed to. When a senile zombie and Head Coach who beats up his staff can field a better ball team than we can, I’d say they have good reason to be confident.

They

just have better talent in some key posistions minus Russel, I mean look how we dominated them then at the end of the game they took it away….I say superior talent, not better coached or a better org.

Great players dont win championships.....Great TEAMS win championships

No excuse

Sure, they’re perennial fixtures to draft in the Top 5 every year but really….were never that far behind. Therefore we’ve had all the same opportunities in the draft as they. If you want to argue they’re more able to attract FA’s, bro, they’re the Raiders! I think the last two teams in the leauge you would want to play for are the Browns & Raiders. You never launch a career in Oakland, you go there for one thing and one thing only: $

I’m getting tired of talent as being the end all cope out. We’ve had talent, just rarely develop it.

honestly I dont agree

they got a luck win over us due to cassel being at 40 percent and hobbling around his first game, we controlled it, and with ONE pass breakup by leggett, the game ends. We still lost, but we had it all game

Ravens we played very close, and they just beat the undefeated broncos….ravens are better than ANY team the raiders played close, the eagles are spotty, one week they do well the next they can no show, we played Dallas JUST as hard and took them to overtime….

KC also hasnt thrown money at FA’s, we are actually rebuilding, the raiders have money tied up to russell/mcfadden/heyward bey….all are terrible….yes we are tied to dorsey/jackson, but jackson has a chance and so does dorsey, their picks, dont…russel cant hit the broad side of a barn, mcfadden is a fumble machine, and heyward bey has less catches than crabtree has in 2 weeks

This is one game

that I am pretty sure we will lose but should still be fun to watch. I think we could see some flashes of talent on defense against Garrard.

A man who says he can, and a man who says he can't are both right. Which one are you?

POLL

They are at 93% and we are 7% because everybody in K.C. is at work and can’t vote right now. What do they do in Jacksonville? LOL

by old chiefs fan on Nov 2, 2009 12:03 PM CST reply actions

lol

Is on the Jax site so I am guessing Chief fans wouldn’t be there voting anyways…

As far as what they do in Jacksonville on a Monday morning?

I can’t be too sure but I am guessing a bottle of KY Jelly and a photo of Tim Tebow are involved.

Predictions for 2009:

**LJ runs for 1800 yards**

LJ breaks Chiefs all time rushing record at home and some idiot in a red #31 jersey jumps out of the stands to try to stop him and gets trucked. It wasn't Priest but instead someone who cares more about the record than Priest does

**Bowe in the pro bowl**

Bowe's numbers regress due to lack of decent QB play.

**Chiefs D finishes in the top 10 in points allowed**

The D gets better in the second half but still is plagued by big plays

Cassel looks more like the guy Pioli almost cut in the '08 preseason instead of the franchise QB he hoped he would be when he traded him for

**Chiefs 10-6**

Chiefs 6-10

Ummmm...

celebrating their “win”?

I remember Dawson to Taylor, Kenney to Carson, and Blackledge catching the snap in his facemask. Seen it all...

All I know

is Im expecting MJD to have a big game for my fantasy team

I'd rather die on my feet than be living on my knees

To be honest

We’re installing our third offensive scheme during this short season. Time will tell on how confident a Chiefs fan should be, I for one am not.

Haley… PLEASE, I’m begging, PLEASE prove me wrong.

by Knocknheads on Nov 2, 2009 12:18 PM CST reply actions

I dont think they are changing the scheme

this time. I think it is more a change in philosophy which is required anyways since we don’t have enough depth at RB right now. Charles is good for maybe 8 or 9 carries, savage you might get 5 or 6 from, and who knows what Kolby can do right now.

I disagree about Charles only getting 8 or 9 carries....

He has handled the load by himself before. I dont think he will have any problem running it 18-20 times. I bet he is way more productive then LJ too.

OHANA!

I hate to say it

But for some reason, the Chiefs almost never win in the State of Florida. I have no idea why, even when we were a playoff team something about going to Florida kills them. I have hopes, but I’m pretty sure that’s all is is a case of the Hopes.

is it me? or isn't about time the Lamar Hunt trophy belonged to His team?

I’m a Chiefs fan Dammit and I’m damn proud of it!

Didnt they win vs Miami?

In the hurricane- Friday night game?

I'd rather die on my feet than be living on my knees

by ArrowDread on Nov 2, 2009 12:24 PM CST up reply actions

Yep

I was there that year, 2006 or 2007. I was in South Beach on buisness and they had to move the game up because of the hurricane. I was the only one wearing Chiefs gear and even though KC rolled all they kept showing was a big Miami run down the sideline. Played it over and over.

I had to move my flight up to saturday morning and barely missed the storm.

Who knows what will happen, Its an NFL game....

his isnt the patriots were playing, or the Saints. Were playing the Jax Jags. Im not overly confident, but I think KC will compete. The Rams did take them to OT.

OHANA!

We will have to score a lot of points.

Good RB’s tend to have monster days against us. We know they are going to run MJD all day between the tackles and we will still have no answer for it. Most of our defense are terrible tacklers and if you have seen MJD, he has a low center of gravity and just keeps going. No way our guys will understand that concept.
