Jags and Giants both get off the schneid this week.

No, really, stop laughing.

(I was originally going for the no more winless teams but have zero confidence in Schiano's mess in Tampa)

Obviously the Jags are the much more unlikely of the two. Chargers are the much better and more talented team. But consider - short week, flying across country, early start for West Coast team. Plus how many times has Rivers followed up a huge win with a total garbage performance?

Jags also have another advantage going for them. They're wearing the alternate teal uni's. Plus there's a chance that Shorts and Blackmon might actually play like more than 4 minutes together. Marcedes could be back. They;re a bad team but they've been making baby steps. Some of the new additions in the secondary have actually been decent but lack of pass rush has killed them.Pasztor has been a decent run-blocking RT, They need to cut down on killer penalties and the coach has to stop making rash decisions.

Asfar as the Giants, I think the Beason pickup has helped the LB corps. The way to beat the Giants is to shred the secondary and I don't think Leslie Frazier will attack enough to do that. I can see the Giants putting points up early and shaking up the Vikes conservative gameplan.

In general, I think it's the point of the season where players on winless teams start playing for their jobs and are extra hungry for the W.

 
Oh and the other scheduling mark against the Chargers is that they're heading into a bye next week.

 
The Vikings also have one of the worst secondaries in the league and just IR'ed the most talented player in it, Harrison Smith. They're also horrible on the road.

Not very bold.

 
I'd the giants stopped turnin the ball over on offense they'd actually be a pretty good team. They can easily beat minny this Monday. It all depends on the plus/ninus in the turnover column. Can Eli correct the INTs? Can his RBS and wrs hold into the ball? Can they get on board with their qb and run proper routes? The miscommunications on the field have done them in. Just sloppy football played by a very talented group of players. If they fixed that this week they'd beat minny with ease

 
The Jags really don't do anything well. can't run it, QB holds the ball too long, D can't get off the field. if they were your Scrabble turn, you'd dump.
