Why are we we still talking about a random game from two seasons ago?

Jacksonville and the Minnesota games are 2 of 60 games to point at and say look functional Qb play.

Consider the Super Bowls played this decade:   

2020   Mahomes* 4037/#10  26/#5  vs  Garoppolo   3978/#12 27/#5   
2021   Brady    4633/#3   40/#2  vs  Mahomes   4740/#2    28/#4   
2022   Stafford 4886/#3   41/#2  vs  Burrow   4611/#6    34/#8   
2023   Mahomes    4839/#4   37/#4  vs  Hurt**   3144/#16 16/#23   
2024   Mahomes    4183/#6   27/#8  vs  Purdy   4280/#5    31/#3   

*Only played in 14 of 16 games
**Only played 13 of 17 games   

1. Every SB QB over the past 5 seasons has finished in the top 10 in Passing Yards and TDs
2. 4 of 5 QBs who made, but failed to win a SB, finished in the top 10 in Passing Yards and/or TDs
   **Jalen Hurts missed 4 games; his 17-game average would have placed him the top 10
   **Phili finished 9th in total passing yards
3. This trend is precisely the reason no team is trying to build around a game manager QB and strong running game
4. In the modern era, you need a dynamic QB to compete for SBs; you also need an offense fueled by passing production.   

It should be mentioned that even the best QBs need a supporting cast to succeed. In the Tampa Super Bowl, the Chiefs were without their two starting tackles. Mahomes had little time in the pocket and threw zero TDs, two picks and a passer rating of 52.

Donyou consider all road games hostile?

For many years they didn't have Trevor Lawrence.

In 2022 they did, enjoy!

What does that have to do with Jacksonville being considered a hostile environment?  The fact is, it's one of the easiest venues in the NFL, as their fans simply don't buy tickets.  Even the game you're referring to, the Giant fans were louder than the home team; to the point the announcers mentioned eluded to it several times.


"In 2022, the Jacksonville Jaguars ranked near the bottom of the NFL in terms of ticket sales revenue, placing 30th out of 32 teams. This ranking reflects their position as one of the teams with lower attendance figures during home games. Despite an improving performance on the field, the Jaguars struggled to generate significant revenue from ticket sales compared to other franchises"

Yeah I don't understand it myself, Philly? Hostile SF? Sure but Jacksonville just is not the4 same animal
