And if our #2 WR led the league in drops per targets, then it would assume that we had our fair share of drops last year.

And, on top of that, let's face it, our O-Line last year was just as bad as it is this year.  It's not like last year's O-Line was something special.  It wasn't.

You know what was different last year?  Our play calling.  We had defenses on their heels.  They didn't know whether we were running, screening (which by the way we rarely did last year) or going with a crossing mid route concept with a streaker on the sidelines.

Our offense last year was dynamic.  It was inspired.  It was amazing.  This offense is trash.  It just is.  You can just watch how crappy we are. 

I just don't get how anyone looks at what we are doing this year and think it looks anything like what we did last year.

It's changed.  And we still have the same players.  So why did we change what was working?

Not trying to be a downer but our offense wasnt that insane last year, we definitely had 4-6 games where it was, and our run game was pretty insane etn averaged like 5 ypc most of the year. But it wasnt some crazy offense..

I've been a Jaguars fan since 2007.  Last year's offense was the first time I actually believed I was watching an NFL offense.  Last year reminded me of when I was a kid.  It was joyous.  That's why I'm so mad now.  

2022 minus 2007 equals 15 years.

It's been 15 years since I've seen a real Jaguars offense.  "Oh but Bortles!"  Naw Bortles was trash.  He had one great half against Pittsburg in the playoffs.  And that was it.  

No, 2022 was the first time I actually thought we were entering a real NFL offense and it was because Pederson was running the show.  And to watch the last 3 weeks??  And then to see mods insult me as though they know what real offense looks like... Dude, sometimes I wonder if this team is ever going to be legit if we have fans that won't hold coaches accountable.  

Point out the obvious.  This is not Pederson's offense.  This is Pederson either giving up control or maybe he's just retiring.  I don't know.  But this isn't the same team we saw last year.  And it's the same guys!  So you tell me what's changed....
