Drop a couple of spots and not need a qb.? Sounds good to me.
When did we last have a comeback from that far back? We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!
Minshew just showed that he's "The Guy" at QB, we snap the 15 year West Coast drought, and get an exciting come from behind victory to spoil the final game ever in Oakland ...... and we STILL find something to complain about. #BecauseFans
Championship Formula:
1) Draft Trevor Lawrence! 2) Play good physical Defense! 3) Keep 91% of the roster healthy! 4) ??? 5) Blank #2 6) CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

For me, the rest of this season is about auditioning Minshew. I'm thrilled with what I saw today. In one of the most hostile stadiums in the league , most Jags fan's in the dumps....all the Jacksonville sportswriters picking the raiders...NO DJ Chark...all the Jags had to do was throw in the towel and lose. GMII had no turnovers, reached deep, showed he can play in this timezone and gave the Jaguars their first west coast win in 15 years. a come from behind win no less! Congratulations Jaguars. Now let's make the changes that will improve the coaching, the O line and the other facets of the team and let's build around our "rookie" who is growing with every game....win or lose. Oh and unshackle our new Head Coach from Tom who really needs to retire
Because Jaguars is our mantra

As long as the entire front office and coaching staff are gone at the end of the season, it doesn't matter what happens these last few games.
Wow, Schefter tweeted Marrone in talks for extension after win

Minshew won two games out West in one season. Amazing.
“An empty vessel makes the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest babblers.”. - Plato
Even if we win one more - We're going to have two picks in the 1st round.
One will likely be prior to 18 overall and the other likely prior to 12 overall. We'll have the opportunity to acquire premium talent.

I agree. I hate winning meaningless games that ruin our draft position. Had we lost, we would have jumped the Cardinals, our main competition for NT Derrick Brown. Instead, we had to beat another bad team on a 4 game losing streak. This happens every year. We are in prime position for a great draft pick and we win meaningless games, giving fans false hope and making the owner think we are trending in the right direction, thereby saving jobs of people who should be fire. All that leads to prolonged agony for this fan base. For those of you saying getting a win for Minshew is more important than draft position, you are so wrong. Think about it. Minshew has all of 2020 to prove whether or not he is a franchise QB. Foles is going nowhere and we know how bad he is, so Minshew will likely be the starter. Between Foles' outrageous contract and the many, many holes we have on this team, we were never gonna draft a QB in 2020. The starting job is Minshew's to lose. That was never in danger. Winning this game, probably takes us out of position to draft NT Derrick Brown, who would've been our best chance to fix the run defense. Without a good run defense, we're not going anywhere. The guy we faced today, (Josh Jacobs) has literally done nothing since he's been playing with a fractured shoulder. I would know, he was on my fantasy team, so don't think that issue is repaired at all. It's just frustrating when we don't win games we should win, that could actually help us and we do win games that actually hurt us. Why can't we have nice things?
"But what about the high draft picks"
*Looks at all the really successful teams this year and notice most didn't pick in the top 10 * /carry on ![]()
you play to win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you never go into a game lets play to lose today,we want to lose,so lets play to lose.
snowwolf titans owner in madden. note titans owner means im undeafted againest them.

We could have knocked the clots out of the #1 spot by losing to them week 17. When we got our second win, basically eliminating us from contention for the #1 overall pick, we were still in the playoff picture. We show less advertisements to registered users.

Dude injured his shoulder in the Packers game, and aside from the game he missed last week, has gone over 100 all purpose yards in 5 of the 7 games since, including today. He's been playing really well virtually all season.

Unless you're trying to get a QB or a DE (2 positions we DON'T need), a high pick simply means you're going to pay more money for a player who MIGHT be marginally better than another - or he might not. A good GM can find a great player at least 60% of the time in the 1st round, regardless where he picks. A bad coaching staff can literally turn a #1 overall stud into a bust.

This is the Pros, that tanking stuff is fandom myths. Jobs are on the line every week for players and coaches.
Incentives are always on the line. Every play in the NFL is an interview. Tom Brady 6th round Drew Brees Mahomes was the 10th pick Rothlisberfer was like the 11th pick The list goes on for miles and miles. If we go from 5th overall pick to 9th or 10th or even 12th then it won’t matter. You can miss on a prospect just as much as you hit on one. There job is football. Teams don’t really quit. That’s just fan speak and media hype. Every player goes 100% on every play. Unless your Randy Moss.

We had a chance to get him but decided to win when it didn't matter I disagree with that. My theory is, winning matters, because it determines how good a team you have. Winning means you have a better team to build around than if you lost. "I hope we lose" is like saying, "I hope it turns out that we really suck." No team ever got better by sucking. Look at the perennially good teams around the league. They don't get better by getting worse. They just put their noses to the grindstone, draft well, coach well, and try to win every single game.

I'm condescending. That means I talk down to you.
