    New England
    Dallas
    Indianapolis
    Pittsburgh
    Green Bay
    Tennessee (despite how crappy we've played lately)
    Detroit Lions
    Baltimore Ravens
    Cleveland Browns (yes, they'd beat both jags and buccs fairly easy)
    and a few others could have an argument as well.

    It'll be easier to do this later in the season when the Jags are struggling to break even, and Tampa is sitting at home during playoffs. These teams aren't good. Tampa has more holes than swiss cheese. The only upside they have is their defense which is middle of the pack. The jags, lol, they're the jags.

    For starters, that's only 9.

    Detroit and Cleveland are both in the botom 5 in the NFL in Defense and Baltimore are in the bottom 5 on offense.

    I can't see any way that Jacksonville and Tampa don't rate above these teams.

    Wow, great point. The losses yesterday and to the colts definitely weren't any better than the games last year when we got absolutely destroyed by the Chargers, Cowboys, or Jags... They're clearly the same for our team...

    Also, I might be able to accept you arguing that Tampa isn't in the top ten, even though I think you're wrong, but the Jags, are clearly at this point in the top ten. They're 4-1, and only barely lost to us in week one. There's no way that you can say that Detroit, Cleveland, or Baltimore is better than they are right now. Detroit has had some major blowout losses, Baltimore is incredibly lucky that they held on to 3-2, and Cleveland... really? I have to argue that Cleveland isn't a top ten team? Isn't that a gimme? Even if I gave you Cleveland, that's still well under ten teams better than the Jags. Also, in the last few weeks, the Jags have greatly improved, while we have regressed. I'd put the Jags solidly above us right now.

    Thing is, you can understand it if you're a good team that loses to the Lions or Browns. They have the weapons to beat anyone any Sunday.
    But if you lose to Tampa? Yikes. They don't really have any threats on either side of the ball right now. For a good team, they should be an easy win.
    Jags haven't beaten anyone still. Only good team they played, they were dominated 4 quarters by. They barely beat the Falcons.

    The Bucs were about as one-dimensional as the Titans will see this season.

    Know who else barely beat the falcons? The Titans.

    The jags were not dominated by us, they led for over half the game, and probably would have won if they'd had a kicker to kick FGs that week.

    The lions and browns do have weapons, but the Bucs and Jags are winning games, much like the Titans (except this week).

    On offense, that is true, and we held them to a single touchdown. The defense did its job for the most part.

    They are certainly two dimensional on defense (i.e. can stop the run and the pass), and we couldn't get it done. If our Defense holds opponents to 13 points each wek and we don't win games, it is clearly on our offense.
