It Can't Get Much Uglier Than That

PrintWell, we were totally emasculated today. To say that this was one of the worse TEAM performances in our history, is an understatement. There isn't much more to say than 41 - nill other than the score WAS closer than the game was.
I won't spend much time on the D. We knew that they were not very good coming into this season - it's been confirmed. And I'm just about ready to officially declare the 2008 draft class as busts. Once again, no pass rush except for a couple of plays. Otherwise a totally banged up Seattle O line gave great protection for a banged up QB who was allowed to get comfortable and then got hot. Hasselbeck killed us. This will have to be addressed via next year's draft and FA. Altough we have some young players to build with, clearly, new personnel is needed. Some say that stats lie - NOT IN THIS CASE. Our defensive statistical rankings are very reflective to what we're seeing on the field.
Our O line was completely dominated today, especially the interior line. Monroe got schooled again and had some poor efforts as well. You have to give the O line a solid F with no running game and no pass protection.
David Garrard had one of his worse games as he was directly responsible for 2 turnovers and 14 points. He continues to be inconsistent and holds the ball to long - hence the 2 turnovers and 14 points. This offense is only as good as the QB and when he's off, we're not going anywhere. David is in serious need of good coaching - he's got to get the ball out quicker. His total lack of awareness in this regard, is especially noticable on 3 step drops. The ball simply has to be fired out of there, even it's out of bounds. This total lack of awareness is unexceptable in a QB at any level, much less the NFL.
Finally coaching - just as we were praising the play calling last week, the opposite is true this week. The coaches had no answers, although with the total lack of execution, it probably would not have mattered. Once again we see the inconsistent, week to week performances which has been a hallmark of JDR coached teams during his 7 years. Seattle was completely dialed into everything the Jags tried on both sides of the ball. That reflects extremely well on their coaching staff and team leadership. Jags personnel take note - our coaching and team leadership just got pile driven into China.
This just in - the jags got flagged again for another stupid penalty.
Burn the tape and move onto next week. We host the Rams and they're god awful. Hopefully, we'll come out with at least a token effort because we sure didn't see it this week.
Go Jags!

I am at a loss for words only because,
the language I want to use is not permitted on this site. I could have imagined the Jaguars losing. That is being completely honest. But the showing today was absolutely ridiculous. Perhaps showing is a bit strong of a word. the Jags were a no show. NO SHOW!!
This was not a MSW catastrophe. This was not a JDR travesty. This was an all out team blunder. A team screwing. Coaches, players, all of’em were the problem. San Fran is probably going to wipe the Jags all over the field if this is the best we can travel.
And since I have got that off my chest,
I think Harvey is the perfect example of why you dont pay rookies higher money than proven players. This is the worst D that the Jags have shown in awhile and Harvey and Groves are busts to date. NO PASS RUSH against a line worse than the 2008 Jaguars. Are you serious?!

The only way this could've been worse is if this was against the Colts
Then we’d have to deal with all of the idiots from Stampede Blue coming over here

you dont know half the story
I have to deal with colts fans every day and they are the worst. You cant have a sensible conversation with most of them. Its all about the colts are winners and everybody else sucks. Its ignorance and riding the Manning high to the utmost. I have gotten to the point that I am literally hoping that Manning has his legs broken.

That whole thing
is a load of crap. It’s not like the guy did something preemptively stupid. It was an accident with no alcohol or guns involved. Who the hell cares. What was he supposed to do?
At least
It was not a loss in conference. It could be worse. Maybe this will be a wake-up call/turning point in the season. To be honest we are already playing better than we thought this year. Now we can focus more on rebuilding and just have fun seeing how this team evolves. Every team has these games across the country (Arizona at NE last year). And although it is easier going West than East for most, it happens. Let’s play well against the rams… Get all of our players healthy, and then have a good second half.
I will give you one thing, OGN
You were right about Harvey, you’ve always been right about Harvey, and I am forever agreeing with you about Harvey. I’m about ready to throw Nelson and Groves on the trash heap too.
On the other hand, the Cardinals got killed on every single cross-country trip they took last year, so maybe I agree a little with Vic that this sort of thing can happen.
We’ve always known that this upcoming offseason will be the time to fix the defense, and unfortunately that unit will just have to limp along until then. I can’t defend the offense beyond….hey, they looked great last week, and they’ll probably look great against the Rams next week.
And it can always be worse as long as you’re not the Raiders. At least their starting QB wasn’t mercy pulled in the 1st half, and the entire organization isn’t in total disarray, and Al Davis isn’t the Jags’ owner, and JDR isn’t going to be arrested for battery.
In Gene We Trust.

On that draft Day, I had a feeling that we were gambling too much by trading up

on a better note
since i had to bench MSW, i started burleson….
hey, its something positive and I’m all up for reaching at this point

By the time
I noticed MSW wasn’t playing I was unable to change my lineup. Luckily the rest of my team stepped it up for the win.
I’m still pissed about the loss. Still don’t think we are a bad team. We were a good team having a bad(bad bad bad) day.
im frustrated as we all are but once i take my fanboy hat off, i begin to think
I think this team just got overwhelmed quickly and they as a unit have never gone through something like this and it was just new and they didn’t know what to do
shell shock, if you will

hmm
this wasn’t a mistake. The Jags had their heads up their butt and the seahawks put their foot up there with it. Harvey and groves i agree are busts need to address the D next year cause we won’t win championships with a lousy D
