The Jaguars already face a do-or-die game

I hate hyperbole as much as the next guy, but the Jaguars really are facing a do-or-die game later this afternoon against the Miami Dolphins if Jacksonville is to have any hope of a postseason life. Yes, 0-2 isn't the end of the world for any team, but with consecutive weeks looming against the Patriots and Colts, it's sort of a big deal.

The Dolphins present the Jaguars with an opportunity to improve on a lackluster effort from a week ago. If the defense can keep the Dolphins pinned down reasonably well early on, maybe, just maybe, Jacksonville can actually establish a running game. If they can do that, their offense becomes much more dynamic because play action actually begins to open up…
