Yeah, that's pretty much the gist of it.

Remember when right after the ETN fumble, the camera panned over the Jaguars sidelines.  The entire team looked completely shell shocked.  They all had a 1,000 yard stare.  And the coaches were just nowhere to be seen, or just sitting/standing around.  That was the moment, in my opinion where the coaches should have been jumping up and down with their hair on fire and getting them hyped up to finish the game.  Instead, the entire sideline was like a graveyard, to extend the prior metaphor I was using.

That fumble was nothing major, to a well coached team.  We were still ahead and dominating.  And then, like you said.  Miami went for the jugular and the Jags D was still in the middle of a cardiac arrest.  I think that game is when Doug lost the team.

Baalke [BLEEP] Doug.  But Doug [BLEEP] the team.  They both have to go.  I don't care anymore who's more to blame.  But they both have to go at this point.  Unless Doug can miraculously can turn this thing around, maybe I'd give him another year?  But only he he get's rid of Press and brings in an outside OC that comes from a Shannahan, McVay, LeFluer, etc coaching tree.  We need someone that can really develop Trevor and also knows how to make the best out of the players he has.  Oh, and the O-Line coach also has to go.
