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."

Thanks for posting this. Maybe the cry babies who are blaming the refs will understand that the refs did not lose this game... the Jags lost it. Listen I get it, the holds... the whatever.... they didn't HELP... but they didn't LOSE the game. IMO we saw this style of coaching from Marrone all year. I don't believe it will change, but we are stuck with him. He is so bad with clock management its not even funny. Even worse before the 55 second kneel down around 2 min they rushed to punt the ball when it would of just hit the warning. Way to give BB and #12 another TO. They may of ran different plays had he not done that.
