I love how people are justifying the whole body of work to fire the coach. If you have not realized it by now, we have done a complete strip of the roster basically, from the ground up. If you go back and look at the trades, releases, and whatever, there's not much of what's left of the team a few years ago be it free agent signings or draft picks. They were very clear that this was a rebuild and have not shied away from that. What made any of you think that this year would be any different? Especially considering we were without our 2 best players on both sides of the ball.


Seriously, get real. I am not praising positivism, or whatever lame [BAD WORD REMOVED] things you'll try to "insult" me with. My point is, they laid down very clear expectations when all of this began, the best thing you can do is either: a) lower your own expectations, b) find another team to cheer for c) get over it. When we do get our first win, people be like "YASSS WE'RE DA BEST!!!! I KNEW WE COULD DO IT!!!! I NEVER LOST FAITH IN THIS TEAM!!!" then the following we lose "ERMERGERD WE SUCK, FIRE BRADLEY, BENCH BLAKE, TRADE FOR TEBOW, LETS GO TO THE MODIS BUILDING!!!"

IT'S JUST ONE GAME PEOPLE.

If you had no knowledge of last years schedule or this years schedule would you say this was the 2014 Jags or 2015 Jags?

Caldwell's done a good job of turning over the roster IMO.  They're far from a finished product but they're way better talent-wise than they were when Caldwell arrived.  The salary cap is also in good shape.  The problem is talent development and on-field coaching.  It's non-existent.  Last year we were beating the Eagles 17-0 at the half I believe.  Final score?  34-17. 

 

We don't need a rah-rah, upbeat coach.  We need somebody to kick some butt and put fear into players' hearts, not warm and fuzzies.  We need an offensive-minded coach who can come in and make a difference on that side of the ball.  This is still a crappy offensive team we've seen the last several years.  Gus Bradley is more suited to serve as a defensive coordinator.  I'd love to keep him on in that role but I realize that'll never happen. 

 

One could go through a complete list of games identifying how bad our halftime adjustments were ......   and now it continues in 2015.

No gise, stop crying. We're ok Gus is great. We're better now.

Where's the problem? We're good. No worries here. Let's talk about extending Gus. We can't let him get away.

I think Caldwell is the guy. I have very little issue with Caldwell. I think he can acquire the talent we need to win. My issue is with Gus and mostly only Gus

Me too.

 Caldwell has done well enough to where he should get another chance at picking a coach. Hopefully he brings in somebody with experience and a track record of developing players. Gus is a buffoon and I'm tired of his big balloon head.

Make the Jags Great Again
Blake Bortles......YOU'RE FIRED!
Dave Caldwell.....YOU'RE FIRED!

To piggyback on Hurricane's records compilation, let's put this in additional perspective.  Let's look at the starting records.

 

2015:  0-1 looking at a strongly possible 0-4

 

2014:  0-6

2013:  0-8

2012:  1-9

2011:  2-6

 

Combined starting records:  3-30

 

We have to go back to 2012 to have a win in September.

 

What does the cumulative effect of those early season records have on fan morale?

 

Tom Cruise in the movie "Jerry Maguire summed it up best:

 

 


You don't know what it's like to be ME out here for YOU.  It's an up at dawn, pride swallowing siege that I will NEVER fully tell you about!!!

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!

Right, because they didn't change anything from last season to this.

 

And therein lies the problem. Even after all the changes that have been made, the Jags don't look any different on the field then they did 30 something games ago when they got beat by a bad Raider team by nearly the identical score.

 

Same coach, different team, but same results.

 

Why is that??

---

I survived the Gus Bradley Error.

I like Gus.  But why the hell do you keep these wide receivers around?  They drop so many passes, it makes me sick!  I am getting to a point where I expect it.  It doesn't bother me like it used to.  I used to yell and scream at the television, but now...  I just sit in silence and almost laugh at it.  I love my Jags, but this is comical.  Our wide outs are garbage, but our coaches don't seem to believe it.

Eric,

 

In fairness, the receivers have at most, one full season and one game's worth of experience.

 

Though the drops are annoying and drive killers, you've got to give them a reasonable time to develop.

 

Drafting two receivers in the second round one year and jettisoning them both in the second year in the absence of any catastrophic injury or completely aberrant behavior on their behalf and not giving them the opportunity to improve is very short sighted and not the most productive use of picks.

One season and one game is the point in a receiver's career where they better be hitting their peak, at least if they're Jaguar receivers.  To heck with historical perspective that receivers can take 2 or even 3 years to really develop.  There's no time for that nonsense any more.  If a receiver isn't panning out by year 2, it's time to move on.

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

If Gus gets fired, Dave needs to go as well

Hahahaha. My god they come out the day after and make excuses. Where were these people yesterday?

Nah 2 of our better players Telvin Smith and Brandon Linder were found in the 3rd and 5th round. Caldwell is here to stay I just dont believe in the Head Coach

I've been sticking to the topic depending on the thread. Your referring to your boy fbt. He's been repeating that WEEK ONE mantra in every thread. He's the message boards parrot.

You haven't said anything new for years. Fire everyone, Jaguars suck, everyone's gotta go, etc... Or you just flip it in a sarcastic tone. Huge difference between posters like you and posters like bullseye who breaks things down, offers insight, looks a things good and bad, etc... Anyways, carry on, just an observation.


FBT, we are apparently "boys". Why you never come to my tailgates? That's messed up. What kind of friend are you?

So Smith and Linder is enough to keep Dave?
