6.Start fast.Wait … we're back to this? Yes. The Jaguars have fallen behind 7-0 in both games this season. They recovered to lead the Packers 10-7 and 17-14 in Week 1, but they never recovered against San Diego. Try it the other way. Get a lead. That enables you do to a lot more things you want to do as opposed to things you have to do.

7.Stop Dennis Pitta.Pitta has recovered remarkably from his long-time hip issues and is again a go-to target for Flacco. He plays tight end, and the Jaguars' past issues against tight ends are well-documented.

8.Stop the explosions.The Jaguars allowed three plays of 40 yards or more last week. Flacco will test the Jaguars' secondary early and often. The Jaguars signed free safety Tashaun Gipson to be a sideline-to-sideline pass defender. He will get his chance Sunday.

9.Cut out the noise.There's more noise, talk, yelling, emailing, commenting, Tweeting and any other way you want to communicate out there about the Jaguars this week than there has been in a long time. Ain't a lot of good, either. You know what? So what? Use that to rally, to prove to the Tweeters they're wrong … whatever … just don't worry about it. It doesn't matter come Sunday.
