For those without twitter here are a few of  Warren Sharpe's tweets regarding the Jags playcalling after being up 20-10 in the fourth.

"Every. Single. First. Down. Was. A. Run. From. Shotgun.  You think the Patriots didn't figure that out?  Look at the totals on those four 1st & 10 runs as the quarter progressed:
2 yds
1 yd
1 yd
-1 yd

Every. Single. Second. Down. Was. A. Long. Pass. Downfield.  These are all 2nd and long situations with a 4Q lead.  Goals are either: bleed clock or set up 3rd and manageable.  Instead, look at the distance of these passes:
20 yds
20 yds
35 yds
17 yds

So now on 3rd and long, with a stopped clock, what do the Jaguars do?  100% pass, only 1 was complete. The punt following that pass was snapped w 6 seconds on play clock. The others were punted w stopped clock. No passes resulted in 1st down. *3 punts in 4Q with a lead*

The Jaguars had 6 snaps in the 4th quarter, with a moving clock & a lead (if you include the 1 punt). They NEVER ran the play clock to even 5 seconds, let alone inside 5 seconds. 4 of the 6 snaps were with 9-13 seconds on the play clock.

We've got it all here.  Poor situational awareness (clock management).  Highly predictable play calling.  Inferior play calling.  The Jags can say they were "playing to win" with the 2nd down deep shots on 100% of 2nd downs, but that is not how you "really" win in this situation."

Wow that is just sad. Everyone knows Hackett called a crappy 2nd half but this explains just how bad it was.

Really sad too because with proper play calling, they could have potentially kept piling the points on, but Hackett got scared and basically had zero faith in his offense.

The guy should be fired.


Besides OC, the biggest holes I think the offense has is OL. We need players that can run-block a little better and open up some lanes. 

TE is also a big need. We need a reliable threat for Bortles. Lewis is good at blocking and is a good receiving threat, but he's too old and slow. 

I think LB could use an upgrade as well. Poz is getting old and can't keep up with the speedy players.

Draft a QB for the future.

Get rid of Nortman

I will be interested to see if they let Blair Brown take over and keep Poz as depth.

I don't necessarily agree that Hackett has to be fired but he has to change his philosophy and calls in certain situations.  Part of me fears that Marrone is part of the conservativeness too. He has to be at the end of the first half.  You don't kneel down in that scenario without it coming from the HC.

 I'm not even saying they need to be replaced. I'm pointing out what they did wrong in several of our losses this season.  
(And I firmly believe the relenting from Hackett and the excessive zone by Wash at times are big problems.)
My ultimate hope is that Coughlin really earns his paycheck by getting in their ear about fixing this stuff and we can move forward with the same system - just using it more effectively.

I really don't understand playing zone against Brady. Also wish they had blitzed a little more often. Not too much but something to keep them off their toes.

Hindsight is always 20/20 though.

You have to throw in some zone against Brady I would think so you don't get too predictable for him.  You have to play some of both but they probably should have went away from it more when it wasn't working.

I agree hindsight is always 20/20. There is a lot for the staff and players to learn and grow from in this game.
