Jacksonville Jaguars: The Team to Beat in 08?

The Jacksonville Jaguars have recently been selected as Superbowl favorite by sport pundits and analysts. They recently signed their two defensive ends Harvey and (will sign) Groves to contracts. They're coming off a great 2007 season with big wins over tough opponents. Also, they have a quarterback coming off an amazing season, with only 3 interceptions and a 100 plus passer rating. Their offense has been improved with the acquisition of Jerry Porter from Oakland and they have a number of rising young wide-recievers and a one-two running back punch with Maurice Jones-Drew and Fred Taylor. Do you think they're the team to beat or is this just hype by the media?

The Patriots are the team to beat, and they will be beat. Jacksonville is that dark horse that comes from a small-market that noone necceseraly talks about but when it hangs around too long, it will doo damage.

I think the Patriots' defense is getting old. Unfortunately, they have an easy schedule...so we'll see.

The Jags play in a tougher division though. But the Colts reign is coming down.

Yeah, I'm hoping this is the year. I'm really excited. I've been a huge Jags fan since they first came to Jacksonville. Been there in the defeats and the wins...

me too :D Time to silence the critics. So glad we signed Harvey. Just hope Porter can get healthy and we'll have a pretty awesome wide receiver corps.

What is your opinion on the preseason and the possible 17th game?

I think I read somewhere that the players think the preseason should be cut down, but about a 17th game I didn't hear about that, what's that all about? Could you fill me in?
