I've been seeing this for years now. All we need is a little of this or a little more of that and we'll be a winning team.
I fall into the same trap. Just this morning I was thinking, if we had a better offensive line then we would have a running game and that would take the pressure off of Blake and he'd look so much better and blah blah blah.
I'm sick of it. There's just something fundamentally wrong with this team, and it looks like at the very least we will have to blow up the entire coaching staff.

I tend to agree here.
The standard of disciplined play is far too low and it just hasn't improved during Bradley's tenure. The defensive roster seems equipped to play above average NFL football but underachieves half of the time.
The offense may be a few pieces short along the line but clearly should be capable of averaging 23 PPG. They are underachieving.
I do placet more onus on players/talent than coaches in general, but seeing the same dumb mistakes carried out week after week leaves me looking with more disapproval toward the coaches than the players currently.
One promising thing about last week is I noticed they ran a lot more plays to pick up easy yardage on 1st and 2nd down.
Running up the gut for 1 yard on first down puts the entire offense in a terrible position. Also, Lee needs to run more quick slants. I.e, Wes Welker, Edelman.
but we're not 6-2.....we're 2-6....in our own "special place" in the league standings.
Maybe we'll win this Sunday since the 'horns seem to have major problems winning on the road....like NEVER this season.
But.....I'm scared we'll be their first road win.
We are 2 and 6. Shoulda woulda coulda is fun and all, but we're still 2-6.

Don't worry... we'll be their first road win. Hey, it's what we do!
I feel something is amiss.
And I know there's gonna be people who say smart stuff in response to that...
But everything feels right.

All FEELS right...
There's something amis....
Some ingredient missing...
And it seems like it's Blake that to me...stands out as the biggest problem.
I jus don't understand how other teams win in spite of their horrible QB.
We are better than those teams on paper...
And we can't win at all

The coaching feels right to you? Really?
If there's a missing ingredient, or at least an ingredient that hasn't fully materialized, it's quality coaching. We've had moments, but nothing consistent. There's opportunity to turn that around the rest of this season, but up to this point, coaching has been an equal partner in the disappointing way this season has gone so far.

If the Jags are better on paper, you really don't think that means the coaching is bad?
I'm trying to remember the 2 games we won... We beat Chicago... But who was the other team?

Other than ourselves we beat the Colts.

How'd I forget that game? LOL
You are what your schedule says you are.
Did we lose winnable games? Yup.
