GG Raiders, the Jags new acquisitions had very nice debuts. FA RB Samuel Tilly, passed over by several teams, found a home in Jacksonville, racking up 81 yards on 11 carries. WR David Regalado, acquired in a trade with the Browns, had a td reception. The offense put up a 482 total yards effort, half (242) on the ground, with RB Burt Manuel getting a Player of the Week recognition. The Jag defense was near perfection, giving up a TD on an overuse penalty. A couple of trades were in discussion before the deadline, but did not happen. After an 0-2 start before new management and a major roster rebuild, the Jags are now 5-3 and in good shape to make a run at the PO's.
Looking into the game further, I've a lot to be encouraged about. Offence still needs work, but Pack were gifted the ball in my own half their last five drives (including victory formation). Four times made it inside my 20, no TDs conceded, only FGs. Packs two TDs were chunk plays I need to look into.
There are a number of aspects of the game I did well against them, just need to look at the areas of improvement. I'm thus encouraged for the rest of the non-Pack games - imo all winnable, 9-7 / 10-6 should give a wildcard spot.

You have def set a standard in this game my friend, and always a tough opponent and game to deal with, you do your fav team proud.
The Watt brothers are incredible, and the Bosas, funny how all are DEs
EDIT: Just watched the game. Sense a new K is going to be on my radar. TWO onside kicks recovered late on by the 'Hawks? Wow. Need to improve my offence to avoid that.
