I think we're seeing a combination of synchronicity now that the unit has had a few months together and everyone knows just what to expect of each other, and the coaches understand what they can ask of them. We also have a distinct style on offense. ETN and Tank are two different styles, and I think Tank is a perfect fit for one cut and go style of running. It's decisive, it's methodical, it's easier. No stretch plays trying to get to sidelines, no tapdancing behind the line, linemen know they just need to punch a hole, and a moment later an RB will be cruising through it.

I will be interested to see if we keep this up once ETN is ready to return, or if he even gets significant reps once he's healthy again. There's certainly ability, but it seems like we were still guessing at how to best use it.

Might be a bigger question for its own thread, but even if we turn this around and start winning against better competition, do you still say this?

Probably, yes. 
It's year three of this coach and QB tandem and they added talent to each offseason. 
Coming out of the gate in year 3 so pathetically incompetent feels unforgivable to me.
Yes, it was largely player error, and there was a new element added to the passing game, but when the errors are that prolonged and widespread, I have no choice but to look at the men supposedly preparing these players to execute the plays. 

I also think the better teams we are about to play will hang 35-50 points on this Jaguars defense.

My concern is during the first part of the season every year we have seen the same mental errors on basic stuff. Disorganized (Billy Napier) Keystone cops level stuff.  That isn't the players.  Heck are people paying off the QC guys during practice or something?  Do we need a new coach for implementation of ?  Maybe some neutral party to tell Doug to kick a FG to make it a 3 score game with 11 minutes to play?

Random thought:

I wonder if we’ll ever see Fortner in to play guard.

I really hope not, I'd rather see Hodges in there for some snaps, especially on 6 linemen type scenarios.

Hodges really needs to play some at RG. He made Fortner look fine during the preseason when they played together.
