And our defense was way worse than Cin. There was a chart I saw where we were like - 900 or something and next closest team was like - 400
Crazy stats. Don't know what it means but shows how bad Nielsen was.

When he hits a dude in the hands and it ends up on the turf, that's not him, no matter how badly you want it to be. ?!?!?! I think you're right, the division WAS awful and we missed a golden opportunity to take advantage. How many games did we start out down 2 scores before we even crossed midfield? How many times did we call boneheaded plays at the absolute worst times? How many times did the D force a turnover and put us in prime position to shift momentum our way? There's a reason the coach got fired. Shad realized the exact same thing you did, and there's no explaining why we did the miserable things we did when we did them. The team failed to use the talent we had in a way to capitalize on a weak division. We repeatedly put our team in position to fail and had no answer when teams found ways to whoop our hides. Kyler Murray is a #1 pick. Bryce Young is a #1 pick. Maybe you are expecting too much of one person? Do you think Mahomes would thrive in what we purported to be an offense last season? Burrow? who?

Williams and Daniels show us this year a perfect example of how the situation you’re dropped into is just as important to, if not more important then the QBs raw talent and potential. Trevor got dropped into Urban. Arguably worst then what Williams was too. So a whole year wasted. Add in the dysfunction after 2022 plus the injuries, and a front office that literally would not go heavy on the big guys….yikes (01-10-2025, 09:07 AM)Mikey Wrote:(01-09-2025, 04:59 PM)OG-JAGFAN Wrote: I just do not think Trevor is anywhere near as good as some of you think he is.

The correct answer is that both Mahomes and Burrow would both outperform Lawrence in the Jags 2024 offense, and you can several other names to that list. If that can't be agreed to, then you've hopelessly driven off a cliff.

This division was absolute garbage. https://www.nfl.com/news/ranking-each-nf...lar-season At this point, nobody's mind is being changed.

It's kinda weird how you've planted your flag on a hill so indefensible that only trolls and fans of other teams will agree with you.

It's particularly apt in that Mahomes was on the exact other-side of the 'one-score games' argument having 16 wins in a row.

While I don't agree with all those descriptives, all of those are much better than what the Jags had and they won all those games by less than 1 score.

Mahomes has the a top 2 All time TE, the fastest WR ever, traded for Hopkins, now Brown is back, the best interior oline in the league. Remember how bad the Bengals dominated us with a backup QB in Browning? Remember what the Chiefs done in the playoffs when Mahomes went down and Henne came in? It didn't matter because they have great coaching, and great to HOF type players on offense. It's crazy you couldn't see how bad this coaching was, Press was a horrendous play caller and Doug scheme is outdated. The QB wasn't good by any means but Doug and Press did nothing to help the offense. There isnt a QB in this league that would have taken this team to the playoffs. The Chiefs lost to the Colts last year when they played them, the Texans beat the Bills this year

Cincy has literal burrow AND chase and they’re not in. For the same reason as us….questionable coaching; atrocious defense; gaps at essential positions on the lines. List goes on.

I think our problem is we have a decent roster at the luxury positions. RB, a #1 WR, a franchise TE, good edge rushers. We neglected the essential positions minus QB or completely whiffed is the problem. So that talent is what kept us in it a lot of games, then we shoot ourselves in the foot because of 1. Bad play design 2. Imperfections by said good players (Trevor overthrow, ETN fumbles, WR drops, pass rushers pressuring but not finishing etc) 3. Coaching incompetence To me one score losses will regress to the mean but only if we plug gaps in what should be priority positions minus QB |
