If we are "our record" what does that say about us as a franchise? Doesn't someone need to be accountable for a 12-39 record. If it's not Gus then is it Dave? Something has to give. Either we haven't acquired the talent to consistently win, the coaches haven't properly groomed or best utilized the players, or its some degree of both. I get that players need to "win" their individual battles but that is a given. However, when I watch this team I am often asking myself why aren't our players consistently winning their individual match ups? One week it will be defense, the next it's offense, then another week the special teams unit isn't doing their job. With the level of inconsistency from week to to week for the past four years I'm having a hard time believing its just players not making plays, but then maybe I'm biased because I don't really care for Coach Gus Bradley.

The players have changed, the some coordinators have changed, the head coach has not changed and the record hasn't changed.

 

Seems pretty easy to figure out what the problem is to me.

It's both to a degree.  Unfortunately last years "statistical" offense (garbage time fantasy warriors and flukes) deluded us into thinking we were closer than we were.  The sooner we face that actual reality, the sooner we can get to fixing it (hopefully).  We're years away still, I hate to say, but we are..

He's paid by the team.

I heard TB as well. I get where he is coming from, but I disagree. I think it is all about coaching at this point. There is no excuse for this team not winning the division or at least finishing second. Our roster is certainly more talented than the titans or colts. I mean, the colts have one of the worst rosters in the NFL. They have for a few years and yet they keep winning games. Why? Coaching.

The record was bad when we had bad players. It was obviously the players, not the coaches, that made us suck for three years.

I think he is only half right.


The coach has to go regardless.

But our talent isn't as high as some of you guys think it is.


Best example is bortles. He's closer to the Osweilers of the world and getting further away from the elite QBs as we speak.

It's both. The coaching has gone stale and needs to be improved and/or replaced. The players are making too many mistakes (which could be talent and/or coaching). Bortles is looking BAD each week. There are still silly mistakes and penalties that are hurting this team which is a result of players not focusing.

 

The coaching regime has to go and the players have to improve.

TB is the epitome of a company "yes man".

Really?

 

Then how come we have better players and are still losing?

Why is it that some of you seem to take personal offense to what Boselli has to say? It's been one man's opinion and he's certainly entitled to express it no matter how right or wrong he may be.

It isn't necessarily personal offense as much as the annoyance of how stubborn a man "with a voice" can be before finally admitting the truth. Surely TB can't be smarter than EVERYBODY in the room, right?

I hate Gus as much as the next guy, but I didn't really have a problem with his coaching yesterday, besides dialing up a soft zone on a 4th and 2 that could have won the game.

It's partly on the players for not executing (Bortles, the OL, Fowler penalties, House). But my biggest problem was the play calling late in the 4th. Way too conservative. That is on Olson.

Make the Jags Great Again
Blake Bortles......YOU'RE FIRED!
Dave Caldwell.....YOU'RE FIRED!

It isn't always his game time coaching that makes you scratch your head. It is an smorgasbord of things that all involve preparation. To name a few...

 

1. Fowler boneheaded penalties like he doesn't even know the rules of football.

2. Bortles regressed mechanics.

3. Not taking a single shot down field.

4. Protecting a 1 point lead like its a 21 point lead.

The problem isn't really Gus' in game coaching (although he makes tons of those blunders) it's the fact that he is so stubborn. He continues to use his defensive scheme when he doesn't have the players for it. He plays people like Arthur Brown or Pullard over Jack. He wants to be a run first offense when you have so many passing weapons. We should be passing early in downs to open it up for the run game instead of run first every drive.

 

And who knows what Olsen was told. Maybe he was told to run the ball late. Maybe he came up with it on his own. The real problem is Gus has the mentality of "Don't lose" instead of "Let's go get this win." The players have been told that winning isn't important but that getting better each day is. That is such a load of bull.

Hes a big homer. I believe nothing that comes out of his mouth.

Gus is fantastic.  We need to lock him up to a long term extension now before other teams come clamoring for his services.

 

If Gus goes, Seattle South is Dead.

Don't forget that head scratching non-timeout at 1:50 that let the Ravens drain the clock down to 1:20 seconds. Leaving us with only 30 seconds to drive it down the field instead of 70 seconds

"Knowledge is power, guard it well."

Yeah, the misuse of timeouts through the first 3 games has been atrocious.
