This defense is trash.  Houston runs away with it.  The offense will start slow as normal and the game will be over by halftime.

The Jaguars offense is potent enough that they can come back. I see the Jaguars going into the 4th quarter down 24-10 as the Texans think they can start resting players. Little do they know Bortles has just entered HULK mode throwing two fourth quarter TDs, the last one in the final minute. Game goes into OT, and the Jaguars go straight down the field and win the game 30-24.


 

That is unless Wiz tanks the game with another bad snap at a most inopportune moment.

I think everyone knows how I feel on the topic. Win every game and hope teams with worse records lose. Then do your best to draft the right guy.

 

On the pick numbers in later rounds: Those will change. If five teams finish with a 5-11 record, for example, we have to cycle through with the other four and don't get high picks in all seven rounds.

I agree. Winning above all else.

It's going to be a big fat Jaguar loss Sunday with hardly any points...  these guys have packed it in...  nothing to look forward to but time off.

---

I ain't no monkey... I'm an ape.

Keep the starters off the field.

 

Would love to see Gray, Greene, Bennett, Pullard, Tripp and Sergio having some playing time.

---

My initial thought was lose and hope for LOTS of help to get as high as number 3 but more likely 5th or 6th. But we currently sit at 7 or 8 and a win can put us at 10. So screw it. Beat the Texans. Embarras the living hell out of them. Let the league know the second best AFCS team made the playoffs.

---

At this point I just want Blake to throw for at least 180 yards and 2 more tds than Brady gets this week

IT WAS ALWAYS THE JAGS

I'm actually afraid that Gus trying to tank will have an opposite effect.


Kind of like George Costanza doing the complete opposite.

---

Sounds like he's saying to tank by not saying to tank, to me.

Come on man, I don't think this billionaire rolls that way. An obvious tank job is probably the only thing that could cost Bradley his job at this point. Khan announced to the entire city of Jax that he's keeping Gus and expects production, starting this week. Tanking is not even in khans, caldwells, or bradleys mind right now. It's kinda silly to suggest so.

Would we even be able to tell?  Only resting people would really show that the fix was in and I don't see that happening.

Fans deserve better. Thanks for all the good times too many are in the past.

No, you can't tell for sure unless they bench players. Could you tell the Clots were tanking for Andrew Luck with Curtis Painter at QB, or was Curtis Painter just that terrible? An obvious tank job a few days after the owner explicitly said "we have high ambitions, starting this Sunday" would cost Gus his job. It's kinda pointless to even argue about it because it aint gonna happen, and for plenty of good reason.

I wonder what fast fowarding to December 2016 will net us.  It will be tank for the next coach.

Bortles gets 190 yards and 3 TDs in the first half, Henne starts the 2nd half, Jags lose by 17.  I'm cool with it.

---

This is Daves last game to evaluate who to keep and who to toss this offseason.  Let's let a ton of young players play.  If Bortles takes more than one hit yank him.

Coach's meeting room...


 

 

Caldwell - I talked to Khan and he agreed to keep Gus for next year and to announce as much before the game. With that said, I want every last player to play hard, but at the same time we need to be sure we lose this game. I need my draft pick.


 

Gus - As long as Bortles has time there's a chance to win any game.


 

Oley - I agree. I was just thinking to have a chance we need to block JJ Watt.


 

Marrone - I got it. Parnell has a mild hamstring and has allowed a couple sacks lately. I'll tell him we're sitting him to get a look at Sam Young.


 

At the mention of Sam Young, laughs ensue.


 

Marrone - Seriously, we just start Young, and we tell everyone it's because of his hammy.


 

Caldwell - Marrone, you're a genius. We'll simply declare Parnell as being out on the injury report.


 

Gus - It is just a hammy Dave so that might look suspicious. I'll explain that we have some hope he might play but will be a gameday decision. Just list him as questionable, and I'll take care of the rest.


 

Babich - What about my defense?


 

Caldwell - We're already holding out Telvin. Don't change anything else. I'm not worried about the defense spoiling this plan.


 

Oley - [snickers] He said defense.

Any chance we see Henne?

---

I ain't no monkey... I'm an ape.

How can you tell the difference?

---

Any chance we see Henne?

I'd say only in a blowout or after 4-5 early sacks to Blake

---

IT WAS ALWAYS THE JAGS

We can pick no higher than 6th if we lose, no higher than 8th if we win. No lower than 3rd if we lose, no lower than 6th if we win.
