And that's big. And possibly the difference between a win and a loss.

 

Possibly yes, but you will probably find that in every game.  They were just glaring because one was an interference and the others the players were covered.

He should've practiced that speech in front of a mirror first

---

It's just hard to me to understand how this defense is so bad knowing he's a defensive minded coach having been brought over from that great Seahawks defense. I thought at least the defense would show something, but they're rock bottom. The only thing I can figure is that the entire scheme is predicated on having a top level LEO and OTTO, and he doesn't exactly have either.

Caldwell hasn't been able to get players that fit Gus' defense.

---

Given the division the Jags are in, there is still, theoretically, a chance they make the playoffs.

 

Maybe this is the Tom Coughlin-softening his approach moment for Gus and he turns into a top 15 all-time coach, leading the Jags to superbowl wins over undefeated juggernauts...

---

Sad because how fast we scored and brought it within 7, if we had actually used the timeouts earlier we could have had a chance to win. This loss is on the defense and coaching. It's too much to ignore anymore.

You either die as a good poster, or live long enough to become the troll.

Arob running wide open on two occasions and Bortles misses him. The first time for a give me TD. The second time ending in an interception because Bortles forces a pass to Lewis.


Little things like this are the difference between a win and a loss.

"Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, if he gets angry, he's a mile away and barefoot."

I wouldn't give him another chance after today either. I wanted him fired last week, but it's not my call. If Bradley is going to go down swinging, cutting some dead weight would send a pretty powerful message to his players right now, especially given how young most of them are.

 

Yea but if he does then shame on Caldwell.  DC better not let Gus have anything to do with cutting players.  Gus missed his opportunities to lead over the last 2+ years.  I'm not for him trying to flail at this point.  He's dead weight, get rid of him.  I've wanted him gone since the beginning of last season when the team wasn't prepared for game 1 then.  To me his lack of leadership is very clear.  He's a super nice guy but a horrible HC.

I know.  I was just as frustrated with that as anyone else.  But the D and special teams lost this game.  I just can't blame Bortles when he throws for over 300 yards and 4 TD's.  He left plays on the field, but also made some great throws.

Hahahahahahahaha


Because Bradley has zero say in the defensive players being brought in.

You fit schemes to players when you don't have players to fit to a scheme.  It's pretty simple, just ask Belichick.

Well at least he's not backing down:


Tweet from Ryan O'Halloran (@ryanohalloran) - Gus: "You say, 'Hey, Gus you said it's built.' It is built. We have enough good players to do better than we're doing." #Jaguars

I do believe that statement.

 

The only question is why are they not doing better then they are doing?

 

Well?

Bortles is not the reason why we lost. Like you said, the defense and special teams was.

 

Doug Martin and Sims gashed our defense like hot butter...

If the team is "built" and "we have enough good players to do better than we're doing" then the COACHES aren't doing their jobs....

 

Straight from his mouth.

^ This is why.

I hate to say it, but indeed; it appears that Gus Bradley has bitten off more than he can chew having been dealt a difficult hand by the GM (Dave Caldwell) who stuck him with a roster of mostly rookies. Of course, that GM pretty much had to gut the team considering the abomination that was left here by the previous GM (Gene Smith). Of course, that GM could've been and should've been gotten under control by the original owner (Wayne Weaver). 

Funny how the sins of the fathers often get passed down generations and then become apparent.

Lets not ignore Caldwell's terrible free agent signings over the years too.

Other Head Coaches in the league right now would have this team at 3-2 or 4-1 IMO.

Fire Gus and let him coach the ROAR. His infectious, positive attitude would do wonders for those ladies' confidence. "Go out there and demonstrate your spirit! Give me a J-a-y-g-w-i-r-e-s!!!!!"

---

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

If Gus were trying to save his own skin, he'd have went the Mularkey route.  He'd have thrown a player or two under the bus.  Whatever you say about Gus, you can't say that he's trying to save himself.  Having a positive can-do attitude runs out eventually.

He just might be too nice of a guy to be any kind of good HC. I have always heard Tony Dungy was too nice of a HC too, but he did have PM for all those years, and he got fired from Tampa.

 

We'll see what happens after the yelling and screaming he did after today's loss.
