Lessons from Losing

#20

Lessons from losing.......very appropiate title. I think the biggest lesson (s) that some of us have learned (including myself) is that we placed too much enthusiasm and optimism on this version of the Jaguars. Moves were made in the off season to bolster this team and (on paper) it was hard NOT to get excited. But the reality of it all is that after 5 games thus far, this team has proven that it simply isn't a very good football team. That knocks the sail out of a lot of us who thought for certain it was going to be a breakout year full of excitement. The fact of the matter is that there are not many bright spots to focus on so I'll put out a blanket statement that "everyone" has stunk it up at one time or another and that both the offense and defense are like dysfunctional children that need a ton of attention. That said, the coaching staff cannot be excused for not preparing this team properly and using the talent that it has to their game plans and instead they are trying to put a round peg into a square hole in terms of matching talent to offensive and defensive schemes. Early on, many were crying for Henne's head and when they got their wish, unfortunately the results at the end of four quarters was not any better with Bortles at the helm. Perhaps, we can all do ourselves a big favor and come to terms with the fact that even if this team ends up going 8-8......that would probably be considered an over achievement. I think we all got caught up in the expectation phenom and now that reality has set in, none of us like the taste of it. One can only hope the somehow we manage to salvage some sort of a season out of this yet. But, if we don't............maybe it just proves our eyes were bigger than our bellys could handle.
