I think he thought this was his year to shine but the roster was gutted of talent and no preseason for all the rookies. Calais had 3 sacks today, weve had 5 all year. 

We need a full clean house but Khan HAS to get the GM call right this time.

This team has really gone downhill since Week one. It's something because prior to Week one, I had a good feeling about the team. I thought they had a good vibe to them. Their practices/training camp seemed exciting and after they beat the Colts, people were optimistic they could be competitive this year. But they've really sunk since then. Week 2 they were still okay in spite of the loss. But after Week 3, it's just been one brutal loss after another. I do think that the team constantly getting down multiple scores (largely due to the defense) has helped squeeze the life out of this team.

And truth be told, I hold Gruden somewhat responsible as well. I feel like he's not running the offense as well as they could run. Granted it's not his fault that the defense keeps putting the team in a hole, but I feel like he's not maximizing the offensive talent on this team. If he had I believe this team would have more wins. Granted the offense can't carry this team to a ton of wins, on a deep run, but they are good enough to get the team more wins.

I think prior to this game, had the offense run better the Jags would have been 2-3 or maybe even 3-2. But Jay has kept making the same mistakes over and over again these past few weeks and saying he's going to change things but he hasn't done much of that. So now not only is the defense still bad, the offense has regressed. It's rough to watch.

Completely agree. I hate to be that guy defending Minshew again but hes thrown over 40 times in the 5 straight losses. We throw on 66% of plays, highest in the league. I get why, they are panicking but that's not our O. 

Lions been giving up 170yds rushing a game and we had 41yds today! We seem to have one strategy and if that doesnt work we are stumped. The team look like they dont believe they can win, like you say the big deficits early in games is 'here we go again'.

And I dont see how we fix it this year.
