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.

Just out of curiosity

I probably should know this, but what’s that raven logo that was put up?

by SoCalStites on Dec 28, 2008 2:19 PM EST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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

At a Miami sports bar..

commenting from my phone.

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

The only two people I even recognized were Paul Smith and Mkistro Bruce

And that’s only cause I know this site

I'd do a better know...

But most of them will be long gone by next season

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.

my boy with the sack

anyone know...

what we should expect to happen with Cleo Lemon this offseason?

by car-ramrod on Dec 28, 2008 4:28 PM EST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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 reply actions actions   0 recs

With the Jaguars or another team

He’s not going to be getting much of a contract anywhere

by SoCalStites on Dec 28, 2008 4:41 PM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

It's sad

because I actually like the guy and I was really hoping he’d have some good games so he could stay

by SoCalStites on Dec 28, 2008 4:42 PM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Great coverage

How could no one get open in that much time?

by SoCalStites on Dec 28, 2008 4:44 PM EST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

if we stop McClain...

we’ll have a great shot. I’d rather leave the game in Flacco’s hands

by car-ramrod on Dec 28, 2008 4:47 PM EST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

by SoCalStites on Dec 28, 2008 5:00 PM EST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Sigh

…. how is it that the secondary is getting burned so bad? Can someone who is watching this on TV tell me?

by KeithG on Dec 28, 2008 5:35 PM EST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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

One Good Thing

Cowboy fans are the NFL’s equivalent of Gator fans, obnoxious.

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.

by MoveThoseChains on Dec 28, 2008 6:00 PM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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?

by JagSoldier on Dec 28, 2008 6:15 PM EST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

by OGN on Dec 28, 2008 6:17 PM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

by OGN on Dec 28, 2008 6:26 PM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

by Kingfysh on Dec 28, 2008 6:28 PM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

by floridaboiterk on Dec 28, 2008 6:28 PM EST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

if they can't get one of the Blue chipper LT's

thay should trade out of the position and get extra picks

by OGN on Dec 28, 2008 6:30 PM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

How you say

that when the Titans recievers beat up on our secondary

by floridaboiterk on Dec 28, 2008 6:34 PM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

by silencecs on Dec 28, 2008 6:30 PM EST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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

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

damn!

will it rotate round by round?

by Joeyy89 on Dec 28, 2008 7:49 PM EST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah, so we'll have the 6th pick in round 2

and noone mentioned

harvey with 2 sacks today!!

by Joeyy89 on Dec 28, 2008 7:49 PM EST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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 to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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,

by OGN on Dec 28, 2008 9:02 PM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

harvey played really well.

He’s improving bigtime. We’ll talk next season about him.

by silencecs on Dec 28, 2008 9:13 PM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.
