Was this posted? Probably affects getting events more than the Jags but would be cool additions. http://www.firstcoastnews.com/story...ity-propose-90m-in-stadium-upgrades/75265950/
That setup will be amazing. Once it gets pushed through, the City will address the Shipyards development.
I'd say nice win, But we are a terrible team. Everything is going to plan... We can't compete until Grigson & Pagano are gone.
Colts & Jags have been trending in opposite directions for awhile now... We just won the lottery with Luck. It is embarrassing how poor a job Grigson has done. Gene/Shack-level bad
This might be the dumbest thing I've ever read. Espns total QBR is a joke. The Jaguars Scored 51 Points; Blake Bortles Had Practically Nothing To Do With It By NEIL PAINE Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles had a 3.8 Total QBR in Sunday’s huge win against the Indianapolis Colts. PHELAN M. EBENHACK / AP Fifty-point outings are pretty rare in the NFL. When teams do break the half-century barrier, it’s usually the result of an exceptional individual performance; in 26 of the NFL’s 36 50-point games since 2006,1 the high-scoring team’s primary passer2 posted a score of 90 or better on Total QBR’s 0-to-100 scale, where 50 is average. Only twice in the past decade has a team dropped 50 or more on an opponent despite its quarterback having a QBR below league average. The first was a mediocre Jay Cutler game from 2012, in which Cutler had a QBR of 43.8 — not horrendous, though also not what you think of when you envision a 50-point offensive outburst. The second happened Sunday, in the Jacksonville Jaguars’ out-of-nowhere 51-16 romp over the tailspinning Indianapolis Colts. Because, despite his team’s huge scoring output, Jags QB Blake Bortles posted an impossibly low 3.8 QBR for the game: Since 2006, Bortles’s QBR was easily the worst by the QB on a team that scored at least 50 points. Or 45. Or even 40. Among teams scoring 30 or more points, only Eli Manning’s microscopic 0.2 QBR in this 38-21 win against the Buffalo Bills was worse. (Naturally, Eli followed up that stinker with a near-upset of the 15-0 New England Patriots and then won four straight games, including the Super Bowl.) The average sub-5.0-QBR game yields a shade under 9.9 points. Overcoming that kind of performance, much less stacking another 40 points of production on top of it, requires something remarkable. In Manning’s case, it was two long rushing touchdowns and two defensive touchdowns. For Jacksonville, it was a couple of return touchdowns — a fumble and a punt — plus a dangerous Bortles pass to Allen Hurns that was nearly intercepted but instead turned into an 80-yard touchdown. The latter was likely scored as a bad pass despite its good result, which is one of the selling points for QBR — that its individual inputs and charting make it a better representation of play than traditional QB rating (which put Bortles at 114.6). But then, the black-box mechanics of QBR can also lead to wacky results; the formula, with all its credit-splitting and other arcana, undeniably makes more sense on a season-long scalethan in single games. Even so, outliers as extreme as Bortles’s win don’t come along every week — or every decade. Fifty-point games are rare, but ones in which the quarterback is so immaterial to the product are all but non-existent.
I've discussed this before but that's because Jax did a shit job developing DBs during the Del Rio years. Mathis hit a wall, then fell off a cliff not long after he took over, and it seemed like every DB we brought was solid their rookie or second year, then started getting coached by our staff, and became awful. It also helps that Cincy put him a role that he excelled at in college(and they regularly get to the QB, forcing bad throws).
Reggie Nelson is dumb as a bag of dicks. Jags asked him to do too much. Ultimately, he was not a good fit for what we wanted to do. Cincy does not ask him to do nearly as much.
Jorts used to say this all the time and I think he's right. Don't ask him to read shit. Don't ask him to cover man on man. Just put him in CF and let him go get the ball. He's too dumb to do anything else.
Our current defensive staff seems pretty intent on forcing their scheme on players that can't handle it either. We better make it rain in free agency this year.
Not sure I agree with that. I just think we lack speed and talent on the defensive side of the ball. There are some decent pieces (Colvin, House, Smith, Odrick and maybe Cyprien), but the rest are old or not very good). Frankly, it's kind of hard to tell how goo or bad some of our defensive backs are because we get zero pass rush.
Arkadin and I will be in attendance on Sunday, donning Falcons (read: Dimarco) attire. Be forewarned.
Sunday the Colts and Texans will square off in a first place battle with Charlie whitehurst and Tj Yates as starting QBs.
Brunell was on Mike & Mike a few days ago, gushing over Bortles. Has some "young Favre in him" http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=14371737&sf17022573=1
I know we talk about this a lot, but there has never been a worse defensive end duo than what we trot out there. They just cripple our defense.
We can win out and win the division if the Texans lose next week and then to us in last week and the Colts lose at some point, right?
It's so draining to watch this team. You see the pieces there. You see some flashes. You think you can win every week. Then you realize that we can't do the little things consistently to beat even average teams. Throwing a pick at the 1, fumbling the ball around, dropped passes, not getting off the field on third down. We should have won the division this year given the Luck injury, and it sucks throwing it away on games to the Falcons and chargers and Titans.
Offense was a let down yesterday, but I think it highlights that Yeldon is a bigger piece of this offense than we realized. We need another serviceable RB and Robinson is not it. Oh, and I sign at least one FA DE, and draft a couple more to go with Fowler. We absolutely have to find a way to create a pass rush.
Sign Irvin and Vernon; draft CB/FS/SS. Really wish we could have seen what sample can do. Kind of hope we lose out at this point.
Overall it's been a much more enjoyable season to watch, mostly bc we can actually score points now. This defense is absolute trash, though. We need some help on the OL and then help at every level of the D. For the first time in a long time, I think we're close to being a team that can battle for a playoff birth next season.
Need a LT. Shift Cann to LG and tell Beadles to fuck off. Pay out the ass for a center. Offense is good then Need pass rush like crazy. Replace both safeties. Playoff bound. This offensive nucleus is serious.
Why not replace both DB's as well? Really the entire D still needs a complete overhaul which is fucking unreal and depressing.
I think House and Colvin are serviceable. It's hard to really judge their performance this season considering the pass rush and safeties. The Marshall experiment needs to end however, it's embarrassing trotting him out there. Yet somehow he is still better than gratz.
DE - Fowler DT - Marks DT - New/ Miller DE - New/ Odrick OLB - Telvin MLB - New, Poz is too one dimensional OLB - New/Skuta CB1 - New CB2 - House Nickel - Colvin FS- New SS - Cyprien I think we need 6 new starters (7 if you count Fowler) on this defense next year. My guess is Poz is back though, so we need 5 new guys in the offseason. I think we go after the best CB and FS in FA, which ever one we get, we go after the other position early in the draft. I would love to get Josh Norman in FA and then draft Jalen Ramsey and play him at FS, which i think is his more natural position. I think this would allow Cyp to do what he does best, play closer to the LOS. Shaq Lawson in the second round, and fill the rest of the Defense with more picks and FA's
