Going winless is nearly impossible in the NFL (only twice in history?).
The AFCS is dreadful. The Colts are decent, but they'll end up 9-7 or 10-6.
The Jags will beat the Titans and Texans at least once. And, they'll beat one or two teams that they really have no business beating (just the nature of the NFL).
It'll start to look better as the season goes forward, as all the rookies on offense get better.
The defense,,,,
Well, they should get a little more rest between possessions now. But, man they look dreadful. They're going to have to get much more stout on 3rd downs. Even if a team doesn't score, they're giving up too many 1st downs and long drives.
Defense looks terrible right now.

Because there are a lot of young players out there?
Quote:On a few plays, but they were also calling different running plays with him out there. Never once saw that misdirection pitch to Robinson with Henne out there.
And.....
Think it through... You're almost there, friend....

Again, there's never once been a debate about who the better qb is on this team. It's never been about that. So, I'm not sure what epiphany you and others think I should be having here. Not once have I ever made any claim that Henne was the better qb. Thats why I never agreed with those calling Gus a liar for preaching competition at every position but qb. There was never a competition between Henne and Bortles. It was always about the competition between Blake and himself.

Nope, never said that you were defending Henne...
And I'm also not attacking anything you're saying...
MVP still enjoying being a prisoner of the moment - and a negative nancy.
Jags not playing well, but no way we're going 0-16 with Oakland at home and Tacks twice.
Jeez, I can't believe I was stupid enough to click.

You may not be, but some here want to twist my very consistent position on Bortles because they need to feel like they were somehow right, and I was clearly wrong. It's funny watching them try their best to prove I was wrong for basically saying exactly what happened.
Take everything with a grain of salt: O-line essentially 3 rookies starting. WR corp with a majority of rookies and now Shorts is back who is a legit #2 but not a #1 guy. I think we are 2 interior lineman, a RB, DE, and LB away from being competitive; one more good draft and free agency period away. Give it time. If we suck next year I will be calling for a new coaching staff.
we don't play Oakland this year. That was last year we played them at home. 0-16 has only happened onceby 2008 Detriot Lions no offense intended D6. 1976 Tampa went winless too, but that was 0-14. 1960 cowboys went 0-11-1,and 1982 Baltimor colts went winless before the lions went 0-8-1 in a strike shortened season.
This team is going to gain momentum and string together wins as the season progresses.
I am not one bit worried, its all part of the plan by the team. 9-7 will happen this year

Yeah, maybe they will... But who cares???
I watched a good deal of the tacks an d tin horns today. We will win at least 2 games.

Thanks for the correction, Wolfie.
We still welcome the Browns, Dolphins, Tacks, and Texans into Everbank. The steelers aren't exactly setting the world on fire, either.
We'll win... unless...
I forgot. Are we supposed to be tanking for someone again?
Quote:Yeah, maybe they will... But who cares???
They clearly do.

He won't give it up.
Quote:It's happened twice in the history of he NFL. It's as rare as going undefeated.
My goodness how far this franchise has fallen. We're debating whether or not we'll get A win this year! People are pointing to next year, just like they did last year.
Quote:Because there are a lot of young players out there?
So they dumbed down the play calling in the second half because we were younger? Im not understanding what you're saying or getting at.

Prisoner of the moment? I've been a prisoner since the 2008 season.
I don't share your confidence of this team will beat X team. Every team in the league is competitive against their opponents atleast some of the time. We just go out there every week and take our spanking.
Quote:I responded to all your numbers under all your numbers. I figured you were smarter than this of all people.
Your not really educated about football. Yes the defense gets gassed but it's not all on the offense. It's the defense who allows the opposing team to get 1st down after 1st down on them even when they are fresh.
You just want to excuse everything and blame it all on the QB. That is far from the case. This Defense if playing flat out awful right now. They can't even do the simple things like tackle correctly.
