DO NOT TURN THE BALL OVER!!!.

Looking back at last year, the Jags could of won 8 or more games if they just not killed themselves. The Jags time and time again had a key fumble or key int that cost them games. The NFL has conducted their own studies and found that generally if you win the turnover differential you win the game.

Look at this chart:

It's not a coincidence that the teams that have a higher turnover differential usually win more games. As you can see with this chart the playoff teams are always in the positive. Look at the jags last year (30th) and the jags in 2007 (7th) to see this holds true.

The plan appears to go back to smash mouth football while treating Blake like Alex Smith. It's exactly what Andy Reed accomplished in KC. Here's hoping the offensive line can provide the push to take the pressure off the Qb. Less Pressure on Blake should equal fewer turnovers.

Jacksonville ranked 26th in time of possession last year.

Better qb play and a real running game will add 5-7 wins for 2017.

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

The turnover ratio was indeed a big factor in the Jags miserable record last season.

It has to be better - and better by a pretty good margin.

Establishing a rushing attack should take a lot of pressure off of the qb to feel he needs to do too much. Less attempts should lead to fewer interceptions. Let's hope we see that.

Seems to be the plan and it seems a sound one. Here's hoping.

It worked for the titans and mariota. When they rush it well, anyway.

Hot take!

Someone say Hot Cakes?

It will be better, if nothing else just because Blake won't have a high number of passing attempts

LEONARD FOURNETTE FAN CLUB PRESIDENT. I WAS BEHIND HIM WHEN YOU ALL SAID HE WAS BRANDON JACOBS. QUIT HATING ON THE JAGUARS. GUS IS GONE. COUGHLIN HAS RESTORED ORDER. FOURNETTE IS FRED TAYLOR. DONT BELIEVE ME JUST WATCH.

They just need to show up and play football.

Shoot, just better QB play could add 5-7.

Less turnovers

jaguarmvp · 05-08-2017, 01:28 PM

I personally would like to see them use Blakes athletic ability more. He thrives off the bootleg pass.

JaguarFist · 05-08-2017, 03:08 PM

I think if they manage to score more points than the opponent, they'll do just fine.

Fix Bortles' arm.
