Quote:This is a huge disappointment to me. All this offseason I heard about carrying 4 or 5 running backs, loading up on the line, using a power run game and using multiple TE sets. Then I see we ran the ball 21 times and the qb had 4 of those runs. Not saying Blake played well (that's another conversation), but my goodness why did we give up on the run and our average per attempt was 4.6. Meanwhile the panthers had a whooping 3.0 average on 35 carries. We were never so far behind in the game where we needed to abandon that faucet of the game. 

 

Yeah I thought we would see a jumbo type of package with tons of runs, but the Offense didn't really go south until the 2nd half.

The Jaguars have the 5th best defense after one week, but the Offense is ranked 25th (Carolina's Offense is ranked 26th).

As I had mentioned in a different thread the two teams were a lot alike, and the stats reflected that.  The key difference was the turnovers...You cant have 3 or more turnovers in a game and expect to win.
