He threw it 50 times in their loss to the tinhorns as well. Carr is starting to turn into a Jay Cutler type mentally. Don't like it. The way he's acting now is similar to how he acted on his way out with the Raiders.

It's not all his fault. BUT, just like that pick six he threw last night, he's almost becoming notorious for that mistake weekly. I even said that in the earlier threads about this game.

You just wait on him to make his mistake because you KNOW it's coming.

Watching GMFB and the narrative is still the same: 'Somehow the Saints lost to the Jags.'

I remember Vic Ketchman remarking how perennial losing records create a stigma that'll take years to shed. Just keep winning, baby.

It's very true and sadly still see some Jags fans thinking this is the same old Jags. The evidence is everywhere that this team is going to be a contender for a while. Personally I like them writing us off and overlooking us. Just gives this team a bigger chip on their shoulder.

Saw the DTWD site have a great t-shirt. Duval vs All Y'all and that's that attitude I want.

I get it.  This fanbase has some serious PTSD.  “We” want to believe but too many times this organisation has left the fans hanging.

At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen and live in what is happening.

And I completely get it. I've got excited for Leftwich, thought Del Rio would be the guy, thought Gus would be a new dawn, got excited for Bortles, excited for Foles, thought 2018 was a SB year (especially after beating the Pats), thought Coughlin would sort the franchise out. Its been a damn rough ride. I get that feeling that it's all going to blow up.

But this current team is different. The culture, the attitude, the teamwork. Yes we have to make every game tough and go full cardiac cats but they know how to find ways to win and have a never say die attitude.

It's just great to finally see a Jags team playing good, smart football. There's been so many years of soul destroying Sundays.

All true.  I was so ready to write the organisation off after London and the Denver fiasco last year.  They brought me back from the edge and as long as Pug Deterson is the coach and Trevor is behind center I refuse to panic.  Never a doubt last night for me.  Even had the Saints scored the Jags would have pulled it out in OT or flat out stopped them going for 2.

Completely agree. It's such a nice feeling to have in your team. Even when everything is going in the other teams favor, I still think this team can make that one play or one drive to get the W. 

You look back at the start of last year and we were in games for 3 Q's and would then make a few mistakes that kill us and that's game. Then the Raiders game where we stunk 1st half and had Adams destroying us but 2nd half they turned it around and this team stopped making the mistakes and started making the game winning plays and it just kept going. Just amazing to see how quickly things can turn when you stop beating yourself.

Eh, didn’t look very open to me on most of the routes. I would have liked to see Trevor throw it deep to him on one of those throws when he had a Step or two.

Maybe Press can draw up a pout route for Ridley.

It’s panic time.

yeah I don't get it. They used him as a decoy most of the game because he drew double coverage or safety over the top. Opened up underneath stuff. He did his job. I was ticked at the focus on Agnew but he had single coverage. If Zay was playing it would have been different.

Also correct me if I am wrong, did Lawrence practice on the short week? Game plan
- Get it out quick
- Don't take hits
- Take the rest before the Steelers game.

I saw Ridley in the slot. Coincidence that Kirk scored the touchdown from the slot?  We won.

This. The game plan did not involve slow developing plays. 

That said, hoping we can get Ridley going soon. Adding his threat will open up the offense

Ridley was doubled or had a safety shading his way most of the game.
He only took 2 maybe 3 snaps from the slot - Kirk was there 95% of the time.
Kirk's TD looks like it largely had to do with the other receivers pulling defenders deep and leaving him room to cook underneath/ get a head of steam with downfield blockers ready to do work. 

Game plan was definitely as you describe it. They went out of their way to keep Trevor clean with quick hitters. The ironic bit is that he ended up calling his own number and running. LOL

Ridley is great. He's going to have some big games this year. He'll have some better matchups and face some lesser game plans.
I doubt he's being a diva about that game as some have theorized. If he is he'll get over it quick. He has literally said in multiple pressers that he doesn't care about his stat line - just wins.

Thanks on the slot break down. It was a bit of correlation vs causation bias on my part. The focused video clip drew me to the few instances where Ridley worked the slot.  Either way nice game plan and it is really nice that these are games that produce wins for us versus where we were pre-Trevor.

Look at this loser!

But he has a ‘serious’ injury damn you.

Yeah, what rational reason is there to play our starting franchise quarterback and be 5-2 when we could play a backup and be 4-3?  What were we thinking!?!?!

You are asking a lot rational ? I read the board and sometimes assume a few of us are really not rational all the time.   Like the posters that made the case we were not suppose to win this game according to the experts, so it made sense to save TL up for games we were suppose to win. Now, tell me what is rational about that line of thinking. Heck   Reason?  Well since NO ONE really knew what exactly was wrong and the extent of TL's boo-boo how could anyone have a reason ?  Tea leaves, Ouija board,  phone mystic with an 800 number ?

yeah we are also 0-2 when we force the ball to him. 4-0 when we spread it around

he was open I'd say on 3 routes, we need to figure out how to incorporate him yes, but not force it
