I'm opening the thread a few hours early in case people have comments about the early games and possible playoff ramifications. Some notes as we go forwards
-The 2009 seasons is as follows, At home, Houston, Indy, Tennessee, Buffalo, Miami, Arizona, St. Louis and Kansas City. On the road, Houston, Indy, Tennessee, New England, Jets, San Francisco, Seattle and Cincinnati or Cleveland (whichever finishes last in the AFC North). A Cincinnati win and a Cleveland loss today would send the Jaguars to Cleveland next season.
Good news, we play the weakest division in football in the NFC West. Bad news, we play one of the toughest in the AFC East, and neither of their big draws are at home. Unless this team catches fire next year, I think we'll sadly see the return of blackouts to a few games. If I had to take a stab, biggest risks at St.Louis, Arizona, and Buffalo.
-Garrard is the Jaguars first 16 game starter since Brunell in 2000. I think this is a really underappreciated thing, especially in light of all the sacks he's taken. Hopefully that'll pay more dividens next year.
-Regardless of a win or loss were guranteed a top 10 pick in next year's draft.
- Per Vic's Blog
Jaguars inactives: Nate Hughes, Calvin Lowry, Thomas Williams, Cameron Stephenson, Mkristo Bruce, Atiyyhah Ellison, Jordan Black and Paul Smith (third QB). I'm serious, those are the inactives.
Also, to any Detroit fans out there, here's a toast to you.

Well
I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m still excited about this game today – I just love “watching” the Jags play, even if it is only on gamecenter/FieldPass.
It's a character called Raven from a game, Metal Gear Solid 4
Me indulging my nerd side since it’s the last game and the logo Chris used was busted

Anyone read the jaguars inactives today? Very funny. It’s a list of players I’ve never seen in a NFL uniform.

Witherspoon
doesn’t seem to be too much of a liability at CB. In fact, he’s played pretty well at the position so far this season.
Bulk him up a little and we may have a starter.
Reggie got beat, but it was a pretty awesome throw and catch
Troy Polamalu would’ve gotten beat too, I think
by MoveThoseChains on Dec 28, 2008 4:26 PM EST reply actions
I imagine Cleo Lemon stays
No reason for our opinion of him to change, one way or the other, this season. Probably any developmental QB we draft would be third string.
by MoveThoseChains on Dec 28, 2008 4:31 PM EST reply actions
It's sad
because I actually like the guy and I was really hoping he’d have some good games so he could stay
The announcers just said
he could’ve made Drayton Florence look bad on that play. Impossible to make him look any worse than he is.
Sigh
…. how is it that the secondary is getting burned so bad? Can someone who is watching this on TV tell me?
It's beyond explanation...
seems we’re stranded in single coverage nearly every other play, and Flacco finds his receivers for big gains. I don’t know if it’s a case of blown coverages, but it looks awful
Anyone have a local jacksonville...

One Good Thing
Cowboy fans are the NFL’s equivalent of Gator fans, obnoxious.
Yeah my new job there

The difference is Gator fans have something to be arrogant about
Instead of having the distinction of not having won a playoff game in over 10 years.

Well - the only consolation is that the Cowboys are looking worse
than we do. I figured we’d get killed today, but Dalls is getting blown away. As for our receivers, it would not break my heart to ‘blow it up’ and start from scratch. Even Matt Jones – can you say – CONTRACT YEAR PERFORMANCE!! I knew you could.
The one good thing
about having a bad season is that you can look forward to a lot of activity during the deadzone. What draft pick do you think we’ll end up with now?
probably 10 or 11 - given our track record of 1st round picks and the number of holes
that need to be filled – maybe a trade down might be in order – we’ll just have to see.
Barring a miracle comeback
We have the #7 pick

Given what the Ravens
did withcall of our picks – I agree – provided we have someone who knows what the hell to do with them.
Michael Oher is going to be int this draft
It would be interesting to draft him and watch him develop…….. Read Blindsided it is an interesting book about him and about football in general.
Detroit
St.Louis
Kansas City
Seattle
Cleveland
Cinncy
Oakland/Jacksonville
How things setup right now. So, depending on how tie breakers go, we could be #6 and get the great shame of drafting before the Raiders.

I don't care
how much money we spent last year. I say keep the pick unless Jenkins or Monroe are off the board.
if they can't get one of the Blue chipper LT's
thay should trade out of the position and get extra picks
How you say
that when the Titans recievers beat up on our secondary
by floridaboiterk on Dec 28, 2008 6:34 PM EST up reply actions
I would be fine with trading back and grabing Terrance Cody from Alabama.
That kid would bring the towers back to Jacksonville. I know we have to solve our OT problem, but if we got some more picks and a huge run stopper, I’d be ok with our first round.
I thought Cody decided not to come out?

Let's look at Shack Harris' first 3 1st round picks
Leftwich-now destined to be at best a career backup
Williams-Gone and will either sign a minimum offer or be out of the league
Matt Jones-Showing signs of promise finally

does anyone know who wins the tiebreaker?
us or oakland?
Just checked
Strength of Schedule is the first tie breaker after head to head and the Raiders have a .438 while we have .559 so we’ll draft 7th

and noone mentioned
harvey with 2 sacks today!!
Positive note
I would like to see harvey get to a point where he is not rotated in and out of the game so much. His professional developement depends on game time and it is not fair to him that they drafted another DE right after him and want to develope them both at the same End position at the same time
by floridaboiterk on Dec 28, 2008 8:01 PM EST up reply actions
kimme a break.
We paid WAY to much for Harvey to begin with, but that’s another discussion With NO pass rush, and DE a position of high need – they needed bodies.
I’ll say this much – if Harvey had Groves’ motor, we might actually have something there — but we don’t,
ohhh definitely
i mean come on he had no training camp and he registered 4 sacks on the year if im correct. He will only get better, same as Groves. Groves just needs to bulk up to be better against the run and pick up a move or two and he’ll do just fine.
