Quote:Most of the message boarders you claim to be embracing mediocrity are actually paying customers of the team. You literally have zero investment in the team.
And yes, that does mean something.
I am a paying customer of the team.
Quote:HAHA. You guys are killing me and totally fooling yourselves. You just love to have something to whine over.
Now- I want you to look really closely at this last one I'll spoon feed you.
This is Miller CLEARLY breaking to the ball as it leaves clipboard's hand. Like I said IMMEDIATELY. Bunch of stubborn mules….

Clearly breaking? He doesn't even realize it is a fumble/incomplete pass yet, lol. One needs to watch the actual video to capture the true laziness on that play.
Quote:You can lie to yourself all you want. It was not immediate at all. Once he realized it was still a live ball he made an attempt at it.
He provided proof, yet you refuse to believe it. Should we just go by your memory instead? Why don't you provide something that disputes the evidence presented.

What do you think you are the only person who watched the game? I know what i saw and I don't need you to spoon feed me anything. I rewound the play 10 to 20 times. Should have been an EASY recovery.
Quote:Hahah I moved on from him the second he took a punter in the 3rd round. You on the other hand continued to put faith in him saying "He knows more than you do so lets trust him to make the right decisions."
Sometimes the GMs are not smarter than the people on this board. Sometimes they are. Caldwell definitely outsmarted everyone here with the BB pick. I like to make my own judgements about where the team is headed rather than just put blind faith in the people running the team.
Agreed with the above
Quote:It was an incomplete pass.
Yeah I remember that play...it was pretty clear on the replay that it was a pass not a fumble, but in real time as it happened it would be hard for the players to know that definitively.
Quote:But we all like the result.
Because we dont know any better.
Go to a processing plant. Spend the day. See if you're wanting a hot dog later

LOL, totally agree!

Yup, I have the game DVR'd, that play was pretty lacksidasical by almost every Jaguar near the ball... It was like they just assumed the play was over...
Yes, ONE Jaguar tried to jump on the ball. 1 out of 4 that were within reach of the ball...
In the grand scheme of things, is it a big deal? No, not really. But don't spit on my leg and tell me it's raining.

Umm - Miller wears #97. That's him on the right looking at the football and moving toward it.

Do you think I give damn if you go by my memory or not?
I know what i saw.
Quote:I think there were people on the bandwagon after his first draft and the team went 7-9. Whatever goodwill he had built up started going south when he took Alualu with the tenth pick.
For a lot of people, sure. But even after Alaulu, there were people saying that Gene knew what he was doing. In fact even after we drafted a punter in the third, there were people saying that we
really needed a punter, because the punter lost us a few games the year before.
I remember people saying "Well we traded our 4th to get Blackmon, so it really wasn't a 3rd round pick, it was a 4th. And we took a punter in the 4th before."
Gene is still a touchy subject for some of us. I think he will be until either this team is competing, or a rival picks him up as their GM. Which I really hope happens. Would love to see him as the new Tacks GM.

Drafting a punter with the 3rd round pick was just stupid. Every GM has picks they wish they could have back. Gene just has a few more than most.

Don't have to, my grandfather made his own.
Mind you, I don't promote making hot dogs a dietary staple. They are what they are.
LOL. If you guys wanna cling to one ridiculous play that the officials screwed up on, then have at it. There's plenty of actual mistakes to whine about so what's one more fictional mistake I guess. *shrug*
Enjoy the added misery. I'll chalk that one up to the guys in stripes and Miller clumsily not retaining the ball when he fell on (at) it.

A few more?
LOL, that was sarcasm, right?
Quote:So no proof. Got it.
Lol what do you want me to do?
I am not going to purchase rewind just to prove you and othes wrong.
Bortles is improving, I'm not certain that much else is. They still can't tackle, defend a pass or run the football. They still play soft in coverage far too often and Jedd's offense is still crap.
Having a bunch of young players is great but when few of them look to be improving from year one to year to (some actually regressing) then you likely have a coaching problem.
I don't think the coaching on this team has even approached average to this point and the results show it. The team is hinging on being historically bad under Gus. He's only going to be able to get away with slow, minimal progress for so long before he loses the team. I already get a slight sense that he may be already. This team doesn't look like they should 6 weeks into year 2. Is it coaching? Talent level? Experience? A bit of all of them. However I don't see how anyone can think coaching can't/shouldn't be upgraded anymore. The coaching flat out stinks here.

Your grandfathers were probably great. But we are using the Jags processing here.
Your grandfathers were Bronco Dogs. Oscar Meyer are Jag dogs. It is in the processing. One is good, the other results in crapping out sea foam after a few of them.
Anyway...
While we debate back and forth here, can we do this??
The team is or isnt showing improvement. Yes or no?
Beat the Browns at home. At least be in the game at home against Dallas. We will agree on improvement
Lose at home. Get spanked by Dallas. We all agree its time to at least start wondering .
Another 0-8 start must go down as zero improvement. Cannot duplicate last years record, and claim improvement.
