I was a Bungles fan through the mid-late 90's. This Jaguars team looks exactly like those Bungles teams did. I'll explain:


Looking back, the Bungles had a reputation for being absolutely dreadful. Some of their season records reflected that. But, in actuality they weren't as dreadful as the reputation.

Alot of games (certainly not all) they were actually fairly competetive. They had some decent talent at a few positions. What killed the Bungles for many games and seasons was:


1. Critical Drops and Turnovers

2. Poor QB decision making at times

3. Critical Penalties

4. Bone-headed coaching decisions

5. Time management mistakes (coaching)


Often, the Bengals would be in games, and then all of a sudden they started "Bungling" (drive killing penalties, terrible turnovers, coaching gaffes). That always caused them to stack another Loss in the record.


Right now,, I see the exact same thing out of these Jaguars. The Jags have some talent at a few positions. No, there's not any "elite" talent. But, there is enough talent to at least be competitive for some wins. The Jaguars keep "Bungling" a few times every game. Until that crap is cleaned up, they will remain being "Who We Thought They Were."
