Quote:The fact that you folks embrace coach speak as gospel is comical.  It was a measuring stick game because Gus said it was.  The team got blown out by the defending champions and arguably one of the best teams in the league for the past 15 years, and people are latching on to what Gus said.  Does it make you feel better to say it was absolutely a measuring stick game, and the team got blown out?  Does that make you happy? 

 

Answer my question.  What were you REALLY expecting from that game?  Considering how poorly this team matched up against the Patriots, tell me what you were expecting.  I was expecting a blowout loss. I wasn't expecting much going into Foxboro against a team that is on a mission following an off season of questions about how they win.  If you were expecting the Jags to leave New England with a win because of what Gus said, who is the delusional one here?

It wasn't just Gus, it was the players, the other coaches, the local media, the fans.  Everyone.

 

What was i really expecting?  To see any signs of improvement, the same reason everyone was excited for the test.  What happened in reality?  THEY SCORED EVERYTIME THEY TOUCHED THE BALL!!!  Give me a break.

 

You just make that last sentence up to take a jab?  Hell no i didn't think we were going to win, but i'm sure not going to dismiss it as "not reality".
