Quote:That's called gameplanning against your opponent. The coaches saw a weakness and exploited it. You noticed how this was the first time all season those types of plays were called? That's good coaching. No one said that will be the offensive staple moving forward. They are allowed to change gameplans for each opponent you know.

Gus Bradley and company did not 'out coach' Tom Coughlin. We simply made some great plays on defense and offense that pulled the game out of the fire. Congrats to the winners, but don't give accolades to our coaches when it was due to the players stepping up and making things happen.. especially on defense; they won this game, not the offense.

So what you're saying is it's players, not plays.  What a revelation! 

our receivers caught the ball in clutch situations, and our Defensive line started dominating their offensive line. There are your adjustments.

Quote:Obviously you're right in that you can't account for that but what led to those fumbles? The pressure was significantly ramped up in the second half. Can that not be due to a coaching adjustment?

 

I'm going to have to adjust my mind to decifer this one.

@HaysCarlyon: Several #Jaguars players credited coaching for second-half surge. Said Gus had energy but didn't yell and stomp around at half.

No way. They're wrong.

 

Obviously a handful of posters know way more about what happened in the locker room during halftime than the players.

He also didn't say they were sat around writing up a whole new gameplan...

@HaysCarlyon: Coughlin: "Quite frankly, I was counting [on getting turnovers]." Bortles didn't abide. #Jaguars



Legit game plan.

I'm not going to sit here and poo poo the win because as a Jags fan we should cherish every win. Today I cheered the most all year. However lets not become disillusioned about halftime adjustments being the reason we won. Two defensive TD's makes a lot of things look better but you have to be honest with yourself too. But again, we won so it's a start in the right direction. 

Quote:took this from the Giants board:

 

"Once again being out coached...Jax made adjustments at halftime,the Giants have no answers...week after week its the same thing.."

 

Some poster even created a thread on their boards about today's loss and cleverly bestowed the title:

 


The final nail in the Coughlin

Yeah. I think we got that.  

 

These  (and three other posts saying the same thing) were all stated previously in the thread:


 

 

Quote:It was a great game.  The defense was great.  The defense scored 2 TDs.  That's how we won.

 

Our offense played alot looser today and it allowed BB5 to not get too tight.  I thought the play calling was OK once they opened up the plays after they realized the game was "over".

 

But I wouldn't say there were any real adjustments so much as the Jags D didn't give up they came out like a bunch of rabid dogs.  And the offense decided to play to win, rather than play not to lose.

 

 

Quote:love the halftime adjustment nonsense. We scored 2 TD's off turnovers, must have drawn that up at halftime haha.

 

Every week if a team plays better in the second half it is put down to these supposed gameplans drawn up in 10 mins at halftime

 

 

Quote:Haha. Absolutely. Adjustment  wasn't the difference maker.

 The defense was.

 

 Nonetheless there were some adjustments on offense. Nothing we haven't seen before, but things they weren't incorporating in the first half.  (not that they had much chance to) 

Quote:He also didn't say they were sat around writing up a whole new gameplan...

I would hope not. That would be pretty stupid.

 

Who in the world writes a whole new game plan during halftime?

That first guy you quoted seems like he knows what he's talking about.... :thumbsup:

 

Hey, and how was I to know that Gus dips...  He never spits!  At least not when I see him on camera.  I just thought he had some weird thing going on with his jaw during the games!

Don't kid yourself.  The offense did just enough to stay in this game at the end.  Take away those two defensive TD's and we got owned for most of the game.    It was good to see them rolling Blake out and pulling out some wildcat stuff, but that stuff will only take you so far.  I agree that the D stepped it up in the second half, but the offense is still way off. Lots of work to do and a lot of pieces still missing here.  I think that Fisch should just let Bortles play his game the rest of the way this year because even Brady or Manning is not winning behind our O-Line.

When we lose everyone says we didn't make the halftime adjustments to explain it.

 

Halftime adjustments is basically a way of explaining what can't be explained by NFL fans. It's up there with "he just wins".

I did get one thing right today at sports bar. I told our Jags friend who is there everyweek with us,that if jags are to win defense will have to score a td to win the game. The defense got 2 tds,and jags won. The defense shifted mountum the seconed half.

When you get down by 20+ as often as we do, there's a good chance we're going to beat the 1996 comeback record of 15 points down.

 

Now if we can only win 2 games in the 1st 10 next year we'll do something we haven't done since 2011.

Boy,their whole board was hot mad.Like we usually are

Quote:So what you're saying is it's players, not plays.  What a revelation! 

no. I'm not saying that coaching has no relevance to the outcome of a game. I'm just saying that Tom Coughlin is a good coach and he didn't lose the game for the giants; in many ways, the giants players (particularly Eli...) lost them this game by turning the ball over. Coughlin himself said it; they would've done better to have just come out the second half and just taken a knee each snap...
