I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you to everyone over the years that provides Jaguars updates via tweets, etc. on various threads. I myself, and probably others, don't have every social media platform, listen to every radio station (especially those like me who don't live in Jacksonville), etc. so it really means a lot when people provide helpful info this way.

I've tried to get better by providing info when I can as well, but just wanted to say a special thank you to everyone that routinely does so. It helps out a lot.

Hope you all have a great day!

?AWESOME NEWS!!!

Hi all, new addition to the forum, sorry for spamming already. Just a quick one, anyone got any suggestions for best Jags analysis/long reads? I generally read the Athletic for NFL news and discussion however they don't have a Jags beat writer anymore so the coverage is shite. The Jags official site seems pretty bland and google offered me no suggestions (aside from you guys which is currently my main source of information)

Just wondered whether anyone had any other suggestions?

Cheers

I've read a few articles and tweets suggesting that Baalke will be fired after the draft. What benefit is there in doing that? My opinion is there are teams looking to hire their GMs currently so the draft argument holds little water in my opinion. Sure I'm sure he's done some work, but it's not just him the scouts have as well any new GM would get the same info from the scouts. I understand people's opinions of shad, but assuming he will be let go after the draft what logical reason am I missing?

lets go!!

Do yall think he retires?  Me personally I hope he plays 1 more year, I hope Sunday wasn't his last game.  It's like when Kobe or Jordan retired.

A read to feel good about

So, 2022, Pat Mahomes and Josh Allen in a shootout, overtime ends before Josh Allen gets to touch the ball.
Basically a repeat of what Tom Brady did to Pat Mahomes in 2019.

That doesn't seem fair to most people.

Do you think "both sides get the ball at least once" would actually satisfy people? Do you want that?  If both teams do the same thing in their first possession, it just goes to sudden death anyway, with the same big advantage to the team that won the toss, so does it even fix anything?

It feels like a baby step to college football rules.  Do you want to just go to college football rules?

Sportswriters seem big on this whole "spot and choose" concept where teams auction for who goes first.  Seems to put too much on the coach and too much math for the average fan.  It would be a big change.  What do you think?

What if we said, if a playoff game is tied at the end of regulation, just play the next down until someone scores? Maybe shorten the play clock to increase the excitement.  That's a big change too, but easier to explain.  

What if we made a much smaller change.  One coin flip per game.  If you received the second half kickoff, you kick to start OT.  The end.  If the Bills knew that KC would get the ball at the start of OT, maybe they go for 2 on their last TD, so they go up by 4. Maybe they try harder to run the clock out.

I think the last idea actually solves the fairness problem on its own.  We already know there's a slight advantage to having the ball first in the second half, this change would balance it out.  What do you think?

Outside of the fact that Defensive ends rarely make a real contribution their first year,  The League has shifted it's rules so strongly toward the offense it makes the defense side a lot less important.  

The Jags had the #1 overall defense in 2017 and got carved up in the AFC Champ game against the Pats...

We just saw the Bills (#1 defense in the league) give up a filed goal from the opponents 25 yard line with 13 seconds left.

It's an offensive league.  I'm not saying defense is not important but offense should be priority in about every scenario these days.   It isn't like the best defensive end in this draft is miles better than the best offensive linemen.  I think QB protection is more important to help this young QB.  

There is no generational talent Like a Bosa, Watt, Garret, etc.

The team would be best suited to build around Lawrence so we can really see if he is the franchise guy.  

Ideally I would like to trade out to around the 10th spot and get the best WR in the draft.  If stick to #1 overall, then take the best offensive linemen and do not look back.

So close today, I guess the team with the better QB usually does win in the playoffs, though.

Tannehill with three picks. Worst QB in the division?
