Rainbows and Unicorns

Am I the only one that used to appreciate all the Jags media coaverage but now I find myself barely watching it because it's not that credible.  Most of it seems like overhyped rainbows and unicorns.

The local media is almost all employees of the team or employees of "official stations".

 

Think about it.

 

1010XL is basically Jaguars team radio.

 

WJXT is Jaguars team TV.

 

Action News was Jaguars team TV last year and it is the same guys.

 

Basically the only unbiased media is the T-U and First Coast News, who has a joke of a sports department.

What I look forward to is the local media being outraged when Vegas has us tabbed as the team with the worst Super Bowl odds or sets the over/under for wins around 4.

There's always the Jaguars message board where the madden experts can tell you what's REALLY going on....


What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

For the knee jerk fan on this message board that wants a new coach, new players, new stadium, cheaper beer, cooler temperatures, a dome, the old man in front of them to sit down at the game, etc, etc...ya, it is annoying!

What's really going on is a 2-11 record. No Madden needed to see what REALLY going on....

2014: 2-11

2013: 4-12

2012: 2-14

2011: 5-11

2010: 8-8

 

It's really hard to say that fans are "knee jerking", when they've had to endure 5 seasons of downward spiraling football.. What's annoying is this team not winning games..

We want improvement from what we have seen the last four years. It's not there. Should we just lean back in our chairs, put out hands behind our head, chill and hope for the best.

At this point, I would say yes. Look, it sucks and I feel like I waste money every year on S.T. and I don't even live in the state or attend more than two games a year, but how many times do we blow this thing up and expect instant results? It doesn't work that way. This thing has been flipped upside down three times in the last 4-5 years. Record aside, there are improvements and a fundamental base to build on. You can't win the race if you keep going back to the starting line to start over.

They don't pay for tickets so it's much easier to be rosey about the entire Jag scene.

How many times since that 2010 record has there been a new head coach, coaching staff, play book, players, etc? Maybe if we blow it up yet again will gain a few wins!

Nothing like someone trying to defend his point of view by over-emphasizing everything.  you're defense is so pathetically hyperbolic that one could argue you are a knee-jerk defender.

Nope, you can't win a race if you keep going back to the starting line.. You also can't shoot a deer with blanks.. 

 

The idea is to not to blow everything up, but to keep getting better every year at all phases of the game, and if that includes coaches and a GM, then so be it. Personally? I'd rather have a butthead coach that coaches a playoff team than a player's type of coach at 2-14.. Not saying that Gus isn't the man, but he's not off to a very hot start for his coaching career..

 

What it boils down to, I think, Is people don't give a rats [BLEEP] about coaches, GM's or players.. They want wins, and more than 2-4 a year..

LOL, just because one fires a bad coaching staff does not mean, one must blow it up.  Perhaps if you look at the 49'ers and the Chiefs you would see that...

 

They hired new coaches and did not blow it up.  See, sometimes a business hires a manager that is not the proper fit for the personell, and thus you replace the manager to increase personell productivity.  It's a pretty easy concept to understand, no?

I'm totally picking up what you're putting down.  It's all pretty common sense stuff.
