Jacksonville Jaguars Fan Forums

Let me just say that I don't think that any Jags fans were surprised that this would happen to a team with JDR on staff. Just saying.

JDR of course. His D was a huge letdown.

Peyton Manning. He was the only coach on that roster that mattered and as usual in the big game he came up small.

JDR, that defense has been underperforming all year. The only reason they made it to the Super Bowl is PM. They're probably a .500 team without him.

Seattle are just a better team.

Special teams and offense, we can sit here and blame JDRs defense all we want but at the end of the day the broncos offense/special teams is what gave up the most points. The defense actually played well at times even tho they were put in bad situations.

 

 

I'm not a Del Rio fan, but you're dumb if you blame this on him. 

The most prolific offense in NFL history is almost shut out, and it's even a question? Of course it's on the offensive coordinator. You misspelled the name though.

 

Prior to Manning signing with the donks, he and Elway agreed that he would call his own plays. Pin this one squarely on #18.

Manning got rattled again, as good as he is. The Seahawks saw something on tape and had the Broncos' offense's number, and he knew it from the start. Del Rio gets a pass, but I'm wondering if he'll still be there next season

This is the opinion I choose to agree with.

 

Take away all the special teams scores, defensive scores, and considering the short field from turnovers... the defense did not lose that game.  The Seattle defense won it by neutering Manning.

Since I could only vote for one category I blame Gase.

 

The defense was able to hold Seattle to 6 points on the first 3 drives.

 

After that we saw the typical vanilla defense JDR serves up. I will say this again for about the 20th time JDR should not be a DC, he is strictly a LB coach. 

 

There was too much miss-tackling and too much zone being played. They over prepared for Lynch but couldn't stop Wilson.

 

The Offense kept going east-west instead of going north south. They let the early deficit and Seattle's D shake them big time. It reflected in the game-plan.

 

Not kicking the FG before halftime was just pathetic. Put something on the board going into the half.

The defense was actually pretty bad. They did well to limit the Seahawks in the first half, but other than that they were bad. Couldn't get off the field on third down, and their tackling was atrocious.

 

The offense was awful all around. Peyton got stone-walled in the beginning and he didn't look comfortable all night. The O-line was dominated, couldn't get a running game going. The receivers had awful field awareness, the running back didn't go back to the ball on the pick 6, and Thomas fumbled the drive the offense actually got something going.

 

The special teams was slow, they couldn't tackle, and made mental mistakes.

 

End score: 43-8

 

You cannot blame this on one person, or even a few people. You don't get stomped like that in the Super Bowl and then turn around and scapegoat people.

Peyton

Denver's defense looked predictably familiar.

I agree, thats why I am shocked that 'Coach Manning' isn't an option. I refuse to vote till he is.

Manning. I've said for years he wasn't as good as his reputation is. Teams outdo themselves trying to confuse him and thats not the way to go. Just like when we used to play tight games against him, we just lined up and played. It doesn't matter if he knows exactly what you're gonna do. If you execute properly it won't matter and moreso nowadays he gets easily rattled. I told my sister, whos a Raiders fan, after we played them that we showed teams that they were beatable. The whole first half they were looking around confused like: "why are they hitting us?". Its just too bad we're not as talented yet, but the scheme is right.

This one's on Manning. With those passes he threw he'll be on Duck Dynasty soon. Pass the cheese and quackers.

Peyton of the OC are the only ones who should be blamed. The Broncos D actually did their jobs early on and kept the Seahawks offense in check despite the offense repeatedly hanging them out to dry with short field position for Seattle.

 

They actually faced the same problems we had with Gabbert at QB in the short mularkey era.. The D comes out firing and holds the score in check for the first quarter but they wear down as the offense non stop craps the bad until they finally break and then all of a sudden they are getting the blame.

 

The Seahawks outscored the Broncos on Defense and Special teams alone. Thats on the offense.

I am having such a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that Denver's Offense just looked lost for pretty much the entire game. How is that possible? Was it due to injuries? Game plan? What was it?

 

How do you have two weeks to prepare an offense that includes a First Ballot Hall of Fame QB, a top five slot Wide Receiver, a legitimate deep threat Wide Receiver, and a TE that racked up 12 Touchdowns, and you essentially look lost for the bulk of the game? How does that happen?

The coach most responsible for the Broncos loss is Gus Bradley!

I can imagine Gase is kicking himself right about now for not interviewing for a HC job when he had the chance.
