Last year, we came out and won Week 1. Everyone and their mother, even media were praising us and saying the Jags would be better then expected. Then we lose 15 straight. The week 1 overreactions are notorious every year. Let’s give it a few games before ripping the team to shreds

Three illegal formations in the first quarter.

That's a coach that has no clue what he's doing. And his body language confirmed it.

I posted this in another thread, but in Jimmy Johnson’s first game coaching Troy Aikman and new roster, they: 

- Were shutout 28-0
- Committed 10 penalties for 92 yards 
- turned the ball over twice 
- Aikman didn’t even crack 200 yards 

This was against a middle of the road Saints team. Familiar right?

I’m not saying Urban is going to become a great coach. My point is that even for the great college to NFL coaches, it’s a learning curve. 

Now if this crap is happening still in Week 9, yeah. Let’s release the wolves

I don't necessarily disagree but this was against the Texans. They had had the most turmoil of any team this off season. They didn't have their star QB, they didn't have a first round pick until round 3, they lost numerous key veterans on offense and defense and they had a new HC who they hired after no one wanted the job.

The Texans are the absolute worst team the Jags will face all season. Taylor is the worst QB they will face all season. They not only lost but they got blown out.

I'm still showing up to watch every Sunday but there is a LOT of work to be done and I think a lot of us are just upset we bought into the hype (again).

See my response above. We came out with a rookie QB, rookie Hc, new staff, mediocre at best line, and so on. 

The Colts lost to the worst team in the league week 1 last year and made the playoffs. You can’t judge overall prospects on week 1 you just can’t

You have to really give it to mid season to truly gauge what the team will be, and truly evaluate Meyer. Some would even say that’s too soon. But with the weird off-season, I think it’s not
