I have to physically type this and tell you that I'm rolling my eyes because I need you to know. Just like you needed to make a thread on this knee jerk notion

Any real Jag fan knows this game ended when Ace fumbled that punt.


We have neither the mentality or talent to come back from such a back breaker.

It's not on purpose - we simply aren't very good.  

 

We're bad - historically bad.

I wish we were losing on purpose.  Then it wouldn't hurt as much.

I was wrong about Trent Baalke.

Stuff like that doesn't happen on accident. It HAS to be on purpose.

I agree, but we aren't losing on purpose, dude. It's not a lack of effort, it's not because we don't want to win. We just aren't good enough. It was a mistake, that I think he should lose his job for because he's not getting it done. Even if you were being facetious, I think your thread should have been titled "Ace's fumble determined this game" because I agree. You might be right with that.

Yeah, this is definitely not on purpose, that doesn't happen.  Seems like the physical talent is headed in the right direction but we are our own worst enemy when it comes to stupid mental mistakes.  Coaching is a part of that.  Players inexperience is a part of that.  At some point though, the team has to learn to put that behind them.
I'm condescending. That means I talk down to you.

This team is incapable of overcoming mistakes like that. Hard to watch, and it is time to question if this team will ever be good.

Do they lose on purpose? No. But they are full of losers.


Example? Cyprien. Terrible angles and terrible, terrible tackling.


Losers.

I really really think you should try to find you another team to follow. I want you to be happy. I hear the Cowboys are taking on bandwagoners.

We get burned on a TD because of an awful scheme and you just want to glorify the WR. You are blinded to reality.

Dez is a damn good WR but just about any decent WR would have beat Gratz on that play.

Bad scheme, bad coaches. I don't care if it was Jerry Rice back there.

We don't even belong in this league. We are a rotating bye week.
