Quote:Jour-nal-ist
noun
A person who writes for newspapers or magazines or prepares news to be broadcast on radio or television.
Do Boselli and Lags not prepare news to be broadcast on radio or television? About football, or a SPORT? I wasn't just talking about Lags and Tony anyway, you do know there are other people that talk about Jaguars media correct?
Id rather be choking on my own saliva then the thing you apologist choke on with this organization.
Good for you. You can google.
There is a distinct difference between someone trained to be a journalist, and someone who is hired because of their background to provide opinions on a subject. They're not journalists in any way, shape, or form. You pulled the definition, and you still don't grasp the point. Go figure.
I'm not apologizing for anything, but I wouldn't expect you to know this because you can't distinguish between a commentator and a journalist. For you, figuring that difference out would be the equivalent to curing cancer.
Quote:Remember when his first started his overall message was "its not about wins its about getting better". I cringed when I heard that statement because it's always about wins. Even when you know it's at all order you have to always project a winning mentality. Now look at it is he just going to flip a switch and say hey now it's about winning?
Thoughts on how horrible Blaine Bortles has been looking in his sophomore season?
Quote:I think it's fair to use this season as the measuring stick for Gus and his future as a head coach here. It's not looking good at the moment for him, but in the two losses where the team had opportunities to win the game, it came down to a kicker missing twice, and a turnover by a rookie that turned into a touchdown. In both games, the team was in a position that it hadn't been in very often last year where they had a chance to win late in the game. In other words, what we've seen in every game aside from the Patriots game, the team has been competitive.
I heard someone say this on the radio the other day. In a rebuild, the expectation is to lose big, lose small, then win small, and eventually win big. We're in the lose small stage of the process. Whether Gus is the coach who can get the team over the hump and start winning is questionable, but for at least 2 of the losses, it wasn't coaching that cost us the games.
The Colts game really shouldn't have been that close. That's the problem.
We also shouldn't have give up 38 to the Bucs and Winston. They crushed us in the run game and in special teams. On 3rd and long we got destroyed.
It's not "questionable" if Bradley is the guy. He's not. It's pretty clear at this point. Blake has his best game and we lose? How's that even possible?
Quote:After this kind of outrage from the fan base, I really don't see how Gus Bradley can be kept any longer.
Dude is making Mike Mularkey look like our patron saint.
Don't ever confuse the opinions of eight guys on a message board for the feelings of "the fan base".

Losses usually always occur due to missed oppurtunities. A missed FG, a Fumble, INT...that's just football. So your point about the two losses are excuses.
The team had several oppurtunities to win last year. They were competitive in a few games last year, they just weren't good enough.
Coaching is a problem if Gus admits he didn't do enough to prepare, he continously calls bad time outs, does not scheme to attack opposing offenses, etc. Now he is trying to save face with the media because he knows he is in trouble.

Lol Im sorry you cant google?
Again, I wasnt talking solely about Lags and Tony. Talk about missing the point. I guess id rather not be able to grasp a point than not be able to read.
Keep flailing clown.

What the hell are you taking about? Stick on topic slouch.
Quote:These arguments always grind my gears. How many times is there a coaching change when a roster is in tip top shape? Isn't the whole point of a coaching change to try to right the ship of a franchise that's in the dumps? I can't recall any situations where the coaching staff is changed on a team like the 2015 New England Patriots.
Why can successful coaches still have a semi respectable record in their first year or two and others can't? It's like we're forcing ourselves to believe that this particular coach is in a unique, never before seen scenario and we need to wait until he has Johnny Unitas and Emmitt Smith before we judge him.
What amuses me is how none of these "off with their heads" types want to tell you who should have the job.
Real good at playing mythical season ticket holder who isn't going to renew but weak on going out on a limb to tell you who the savior is.

Couldn't have said it any better. My feelings exactly.
Good god.. Look what this pathetic team is doing to us all.. Instead of fighting each other, we should just pull together as a whole and meet up at the stadium and lynch Gus.. Problem solved..

Don't be that guy. Because many of us have mentioned possible candidates. But that's a whole different topic and it's very subjective. People just argue that you don't football because they don't agree with a suggestion.
Quote:Don't ever confuse the opinions of eight guys on a message board for the feelings of "the fan base".
That's the thing, I'm not just talking about people on the message board.
Go around Jacksonville and ask people their opinion on Gus Bradley. They are the same opinions as the ones on this board.
I've been posting on boards for years and years, and it's always a split in the fan base when things start to go south.
and then ultimately, when the coach is fired, the apologists sneakily slide over to the other side and pretend like they had always been over there
sad

Sean Payton.
Too drastic?
Appoint Marrone as the interim coach until we can find a better option in the off season. Look what this staff has done to this fan base. Not just the message board, 99% of the entire fan base.
What could be worse?
Quote:When did Lageman or Boselli become "sports journalists" exactly? Being on a radio program doesn't make them journalists. You understand this, right?
I love how you hand wringers are choking on your saliva over this. Lageman expressed an opinion. Nothing more. You whine and complain constantly spouting opinion all the time, but when one of them does the same thing you practically go into spasms over your manufactured outrage that they would do so.
Whether they're right or wrong, it's their opinion. Don't like it? TURN OFF THE RADIO. It's not rocket science for most.
Serious question did you listen to the segment in which this thread was started about? Because lagemen was not stating an opinion he was berating Mike for using the term " paying customers". Lagemen didn't like it and basically pushed Mike into an argument.
Quote:Don't be that guy. Because many of us have mentioned possible candidates. But that's a whole different topic and it's very subjective. People just argue that you don't football because they don't agree with a suggestion.
Sorry, but I will be that guy. You may want to whine and cry, but I know a five year old that gives me all of that I need. I want some adult conversation as to who would do better and why.
And all this moaning isn't subjective? You're mad be cause someone on the radio doesn't agree with your madness? Wow.

lol ... The Voice of the People! I thought that was Donald Trump.
The current roster is not built to efficiently stop the run, and is equally vulnerable to the pass. We do not have the consistent ability to end drives. Our goal on defense was to be an attacking Cover-3 defense. We don't have a true LEO and the one we believe could be one hasn't played a down in the NFL, we have not identified an OTTO, and we have issues all over the place in the secondary aka the LEGION of GLOOM. On offense we cannot run the ball effectively. Fortunately though, the passing game seems to be picking up fairly quickly.
Maybe the build is too rigid in trying to emulate Seattle (who interestingly seems to have been figured out).

I don't need to google Journalist because I know what they are, and it's a very specific job field that has very specific training. You're the one struggling here.
Most of the people you're talking about in the media aren't credentialed journalists. A communications degree doesn't make someone a journalist.

Coaching is a problem if Gus admits he didn't do enough to prepare, he continously calls bad time outs, does not scheme to attack opposing offenses, etc. Now he is trying to save face with the media because he knows he is in trouble.
Considering the average point differential in the NFL, losing by a FG or a TD is pretty much the standard. Again, Lose big, lose small, win small, win big. The team isn't getting blown out of games like they were a year or two ago except for the NE game, which is the anomaly.
The team had opportunities last year and failed, but in most instances, they were done by the 4th quarter. That's not the case this season.
It's frustrating for fans because the wins aren't coming, but considering the circumstances in each of the losses this year, we're not that far from hopefully turning the corner. It may or may not happen for Gus. We'll see what transpires the rest of the way. Nobody is lauding his coaching prowess at this point.
I don't think Gus is trying to "save face" at all. I think he recognizes that the mistakes that are costing them games are unacceptable. I think he's probably more frustrated than Joe 6 Pack sitting on his couch calling into shows complaining about how he needs to be fired. At the end of the day, this is his livelihood. If the players aren't taking the coaching and applying what they're being told to do to improve their play, there's only so much a coach can do. If they look great in practices, and seem to be getting it, but they freeze up when the lights are on, there's only so much coaching is going to do to fix that.
Bradley's job is absolutely in jeopardy. If the team doesn't start to show it's turning the corner this year, he's done. Simple as that.
Anyone that defends Bradley and says "don't bring up the record" is basically going through the football version of battered wife syndrome. "He hits me because he loves me!" AKA, "We are losing 75% of our games because hes a good coach!"
