Only 3 in the AFC and the 6th seed could be one of the worst playoffs team of all-time.
This is all true.

I repeat.... They still haven't done anything in a very, VERY weak AFC this year. Let's see them win something, then we'll talk about how good Jacksonville is.
Re: AFC predictions for the rest of the year.
It will be a race between the Chargers and the Ravens for the 6th seed.

Well aside from beating almost every team put in front of them. You can only play the games on your schedule. This isn't college football where we can all argue about non-conference opponents.

Both teams with very good defenses and very poor offenses.
My apologies, Edman. Unless someone quotes your posts, I don't see them since I ignore that crap now.
Re: AFC predictions for the rest of the year.
The Ravens will probably have the tiebreaker on the chargers and they have a very favorable schedule for the rest of the year, so big advantage for them ....

The Bucs and Ravens teams were dominant for multiple years not just their Super Bowl seasons, same as the 80s Bears defense for that matter. Heck, the Bucs had been a defensive juggernaut for about half a decade before they had their moment in the sun. The Jags could win a Super Bowl in say a few years if their defense continues to play at a high level, if they get better play from the QB position, and if they don't end up a 1 year wonder. At best they are a couple years away

I do know this. I said reminiscent of, not exactly like. I guess the "only time will tell" cliche is the best way to end this unfortunate debate.
One last little nugget for thought before I drop it completely.
Jags put up 29 vs the Texans(week 1), 44vs the Ravens, 30 vs the Steelers, 23 vs the Bengals, and 20 vs the Chargers. That's 4 of the top 5 AFC defenses in pts allowed, and the Texans before the injury bug robbed them of a defense.
Re: AFC predictions for the rest of the year.
Even the Bungals has a chance for the 6 seed!!!!!
