First off, Congrats to Mr. Khan and Coach Bradley on this new and improved message board. This is one of the many baby steps that needs to be taken in order for us to get to the level of a franchise that we need. These improvements clearly have Mr. Khan's and Coach Bradley's stamp on it, so kudos to the two of them for addressing this with everything else going on.

 

Every great player has a routine. A routine allows an athlete to establish consistency, and be the best that they can be. You show me a great athlete without a routine and I'll show you a Boystown trophy case without multiple basketball state championship trophies. Neither is happening!!!

 

It has been brought to my attention by a reliable source that the Jags stayed on the west coast instead of traveling back home for this weekends tussle in Seattle. Was this mandated by the NFL? I can clearly see  what is going on here - the NFL is purposely trying to disrupt our bodily clocks. Now, when our Jags wake up at 6:00 a.m. to get ready for 6:30 a.m. film sessions, practice or individual work outs, it is really like 3:30 a.m. Jacksonville time.  When coaches do room checks at 9:00 p.m., it is really like 6:00 p.m. Jacksonville time. Between this scheme and forcing us to spend over a week in London, where I might add is also in a different time zone, we have no chance.  When we tee it up at 1;00 a.m. in our next game in Jacksonville vs the Colts, we are going feel like we are kicking off at 10:00 a.m. It's not fair and it's not right. Seattle shouldn't have to spend two weeks in the northeast, much less one of the furthest most south east teams in the USA.  This schedule does not and will not allow us to get into any sort of routine.

 

Which brings me to my next point and yes I am going to state what I know every one of you is thinking. Is it possible that in addition to getting absolutely screwed by the scheduler, we are experiencing the curse of Zach Potter??? We have not won a game since we parted ways with arguably the most under utilized tight end in the history of our franchise.  Now I know and you know that Ron Prince deliberately campagined against getting him the football, but now that Prince is gone, should we reach out to Potter and try and get him back? Did we completely and totally tick off the football God's when we parted ways with ZP? Are we now past the point of no return?

 

I guess we will see first hand this weekend if Gene Smith's decision to draft Bryan Anger over Russell Wilson was in fact the right one. The only true way to measure this is by which team comes out on top.

 

Lastly, and not to rub salt in everyone's wounds, but Del Rio is 2-0 right now with the Broncos.
