Was hoping Watson would start at QB. If we get shredded by a guy named Savage, it will ruin the rest of the season.

To sell the sandbag. It doesn't work unless folks really believe that your team is so sorry that they had to keep the ones in to find players. It's all part of the genius deception.

so you would take the chance of injury to your best group of players to try and trick everyone into thinking we suck when it's true to begin with? SMH

See, it worked on you. You are convinced they still suck. That's the whole purpose. Genius I tell ya.

He got me...I feel so dumb

Marrone is so hard to read. He is almost Belichick like in his monotone voice and zero emotion on the sideline and in interviews.

"We're gonna lose"

Nah they not sandbaggin. They tryin to put it together, but they not gonna show much in the preseason. Save for a fantastic fake punt.

I don't see Marrone pulling a Pikey move and knocking teams out in surprising fashion this year with his coaching scheme. I have a feeling we're fixing to see a poor attempt of what Jack Del Rio liked to do back in his day here. Run, run it again and then pass it when you have no choice.

He doesn't trust Bortles. Nobody does really. So they're not going to take too many chances with him this year. The problem is that we're going to see more 2.0 YPC attempts on first and second downs instead of 4.0 YPC or better attempts on first and second downs this year because of the terrible, terrible lack of push up front by this line.

Once again the undisputed  ***Official King Of Sandbagging*** Doug Marrone has pulled off another epic sandbag job. Before playing against the Bills he ordered BB5 to intentionally make some of his worst throws of the season while still doing enough to beat the Bills. Once again people are in a panic and convinced that BB5 is horrible. Winner? Jags. BB5 throws for 4 TD's this coming Sunday. Bank on it.

Ultra sandbagging

I've actually put some thought into this. While unlikely, it is interesting that play action on the whole wasn't really utilized against the Bills. Also the passing concepts (notably the Deep Over Route) that he excelled at during that 3 game explosion were called sparingly the last 3 games (SF, TEN, BUF). It seemed like either they were going with a "Vanilla" gameplan to not give anything away on tape, or they were working on concepts that Bortles isn't entirely comfortable with. I'm hoping that they just didn't want to put on film the strengths and concepts he likes since the Pats (and Steelers too to an extent) look back ultra far to see what has worked for a team before that they might try... maybe because of Coughlins familiarity with how Belichick and Co. operate, he doesn't want to tip his hand too early in the tournament?

Possible Yes, but not probable. Interesting to think of for sure.

Why would a team sandbag much less do it in the playoffs? You lose and you go home. You wouldn't sandbag in that scenario.

Plot twist... We are actually so much better than the steelers that we continue to sandbag this weekend. Bortles says he wants to hang 60 on them and Marrone says no... try to struggle a little bit.

they probably could have scored 30+ against the bills but what would of been a point when buffalo wasnt going to score more then a touchdown at most

I see you understand the ways of the sandbag. This is good.

Zactly.

I can't remember where I read it, but there was a post-game analysis that talked about how the Jags coaching staff straight up knew that they were the better team, man for man, than the Bills. So the gameplan was to just do ball control, not get too creative, and let the defense take care of business. If you believe that, then it appears that it worked and the coaches knew what they were doing.

From sandbagging to tea bagging. I like Marrone’s style.

I thought "go gata" cornered the marked on sandbagging in Jacksonville.

(made it as vanilla as possible as to not be political)
