Quote:That Mularkey team was so bad it needed to get blown up, it was necessary. Dave's biggest problem was that the Jags needed some veteran leadership on the team during Gus' first year and there just wasn't any to speak of. Marcades Lewis should have been able to be one of the leaders, but he just wasn't. It really showed when they lost their first 8 games and they were just getting blown out.
Gus' actually did a respectable job in the 2nd half of that first year with a really bad team, by posting a 4-4 record for those last 8 games. Yes. he beat some really bad teams, but the Jags were a really bad team too, led by the one and only Chad Henne.
The team only won 3 games the next year, but they did have to start a rookie QB after 3 games, because of the performance of the one and only Chad Henne.
Now here we are deep into year 3 and despite everything that has worked in the Jags favor this year, Gus finds himself at 4-7 and has lost several winnable games, yes I said winnable games, even for the Jags.
Now there are 5 games left and Gus really needs to be able to win a few of them and end the season with more wins (and I don't mean 1 more) this season then he had in his very first season and with a much worse team.
Come on Gus, can you do it?
I agree with you here, and I do think Gus can win these games. He better win at least two of these last five, but I'm holding out hope for more. It kills me how close we've were in at least three of our losses where just a little better execution on a few downs and we'd have won. Interestingly, it was the same for the 1996 Jaguars. They lost some incredibly close games right at the end to start out 4-7. Then it's like something clicked. Much like how we saw Julius Thomas just turn it on against the Chargers, Natrone Means and Tony Brackens came to life. From that point until the end of the nineties, we were spoiled by wins.
