What are your predictions/hopes for the defense now?

They can't possibly be worse than last year.

Right?

I'm begging for karmic retribution when I say this, but I don't see how they could possibly be worse than last year. They've upgraded the personnel at every level of the defense and they've purportedly gotten rid of the read and react anchor that was hung around the franchise's neck for most of the last 20 years.

Guess we'll see.

And that's why they play the games.

A few injuries can change everything.

But that's true for everyone. Just ask the Jags o-line.

That's going to color the game in some interesting ways. If our defense dominates them up front, it really isn't all that impressive, because they were hurt. But if we don't dominate them then the season's already in jeopardy. It's going to be difficult for there to be an overwhelmingly positive outcome unless we shut them out or something wacky. But even then...

Weirdly, my head's been stuck on a 42-3 score all week. I have no idea where it's coming from.
