After getting no sleep last night, I badly needed a nap two hours before kickoff. Assuming it was most likely going to be a blowout loss, I thought missing the first half of our game should not be too bad. When I was finally able to turn the TV on, the Ravens had just scored their game-winning touchdown. I felt terrible about missing good football just because nobody expected us to have a two-point lead at halftime.
So we all need to stop predicting blowout losses because the Jaguars showed us today they are not as bad as their record. What the Jaguars did in Baltimore was remind everyone they can compete against good teams for more than 30 minutes. Losing to an 8-5 team by only eight points on the road is not something to cry about. My mom called it "a respectable loss" and I totally agree.
You didn't miss good football at all. Go back to bed.
You didn't know we were going to lose? Whether it be a blow out, or lose by 7?
Oh, so now we're at the point where we should accept a less-than-10 point loss as a respectable loss and 2-12 not being a bad team? Geez Louise, you take the cake for accepting futility.

I missed all four scoring drives, a successful surprise onside kick, and whatever our defense did to limit the Ravens to 10 points. You don't call that good football?

LOL I am not saying that. This loss hurts as much as any other. What I am saying is we should not assume just because the opponent has a winning record a blowout loss is inevitable.
We are just as bad as our record is - 2-12, tied for the worst record in the NFL.
You should know by now that you nap during the 2nd half, not the 1st half. Since when do the Jags even come close to scoring in the 2nd half of any game???
I expect more out of JLad...JDub would never sleep through a game.
The game is over, go get your clothes ready for work tomorrow.
The Jags played like their record...Baltimore did not. The only reason we had a shot is because Baltimore was having a hard time executing.
Moral victories are for minor league coaches.

You know lad means boy or man, right? That would defeat the whole purpose of using the word Lady. Maybe I should just be Jaguars1997. Good thing I am waiting until after the season is over to change it.
I told Mom to wake me up before 1:00 and she forgot to call me, so she feels terrible about it.

How could Baltimore have a hard time executing if our defense sucked? We must have done something good defensively.

When did I call it a moral victory?
The bar has been lowered to " a respectable loss " .
Guess we need new stats in the standings.
Wins 2
Losses 10 , 2 being respectable. Total 12.
I am going to predict blowouts because I'm a rebel that way.

thats irresponsible to do. if you predict a blowout, Jdub might wind up taking a nap instead of watching the game.

Seems like every week people on this board try to find them. 2-12 is all we need to know.

LOL We need to know more than that. Look at who beat us and by what score.
