Quote:This is the problem. We need to have a winning culture not a lets get better culture. All the great teams have a demanding mandate to win and comes from the coach, and team leaders. Not seeing any of that here.
And keep it in context. If you were bottom five in terms of your work output for the past 2 years, people would not have your back and say oh but he's improving! You would be fired.
I don't disagree but I do think context is required, as well. Based on where we've been and where we are (at least by last week's appearances), it's unrealistic to expect a win every week or "demand" said win. As a fan, yeah, I expect the team to win, but losses do happen and we have been given no reason to think this team is in a state that every week we can feel confident that a win is likely. Didn't say possible, but likely.
With that said, the more "suck" that exists, the more losses continue to mount, of course someone (or multiple someones!) should be held accountable and replaced. Absolutely.
But being attempting to be a realistic, level-headed person, I want to see building blocks, improvements, some clear reasons for optimism regardless of the outcome of the game. This is a game we have everything going. Momentum is back to the Jags. Statistics mostly in our favor. Tempo has been controlled primarily by our team. We have a lead to start the second half.
I DO EXPECT A WIN at this point. However, heaven forbid we blow it as is historical at this point, it should at least be a very clear sign of improvement, reflecting that this team is quite possibly where so many of us think it is and should be: a team that should finish the year at/around .500 and giving GOOD teams a hard time. No reason to naively believe that THIS team should win every week and then just end up pissed off when they rarely do.
What about in the 2nd half?
Wow this thread is really looking moronic as the game goes on.

Yep. Another example of yappin that trap because you're a slave to your knee jerk emotion

Another one. Get em' some crow
Sick of it. Cut those emotional posts. When we creamed next week, I better not see crap or Ill be back week 4 to serve some more crow.
Shuttup Gus was terrible today in the second half. Nice challenge.
Hush man.
You are no different than anyone else and you sound so full of it.
Lol.
Shut up. Everyone. Enjoy the win.

Sometimes you gotta match the nuts of negativity with equal force of positivity. Everybody needs to know what they've done.
Eat your crow folks. Eat it all you haters, Sosa, CS, many of you.
Caldwell's acquisitions all come thru on the last drive. Odrick, Skuta, Telvin.
Gene who?
Bortles was terrible 2nd half, 1st half he was great! Too many drops in the 2nd half by the receivers. We will hopefully fix that and do better next week. The Patriots D is pretty bad and if we can put 30 on the score board we will win next week!
Quote:What a terrible post.
Its all good man. I bet you've contributed to the knee jerk last week. Have some crow
Yea but maybe all the people that say nothing but negative [BLEEP] all the time and said that there was no way we could compete with Miami can shut up for the week and let us all enjoy the win. This team is young and inexperienced, but it's OBVIOUS that they are IMPROVING.

Lets not get tooooo far in the other direction now. We don't compare to the patriots but its a measure stick game. Lets see how close we are. It's gonna be a fun watch.

First road game of the year. So pumped!
Sloppy 2nd half but what a drive to win the game for Blake and company.

Thank God the dolphins are a bunch of stupid thugs. That personal foul won the Jags the game.
