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.

He called a bad second half.

That is not grounds for termination.

We were 5th/6th in scoring.

Even taking away the defensive scores, we were still 11th.

His play calling gave us control of the game in the first half. 

But if he were nearly as bad all season, we wouldn't have gotten to where we were.

Not even close to grounds for termination...especially considering where we came from the year before.

The last thing this team needs-especially if Bortles is retained-is another OC implementing another system.
