If you never read my article Jack Del Rio on trial, or have forgotten it, I would suggest giving it a glance before continuing on with this. The Jaguars have always had consistency issues since Del Rio has become head coach. With the exception of the second half of 2007, a big win is followed by a face planet, only to be followed by another teaser. This game is just the most recent, and perhaps most blatant, example of that happening.
When Charleston Southern left Gainesville, they at least got a $500,000 check for their ass whooping. What do the Jaguars get for this humiliation? Far more questions than answers and a big fat goose egg.
I've been the one fence sitter in the group, but now I firmly believe Jack Del Rio needs to go. His career record now sits at 52-49 and that speaks for itself. The Jaguars will forever be an enigma, ready to join the Colts and Patriots one week, and then the Lions and Raiders the next if he stays on as head coach.
As for the game itself, is there really anything that needs to be said? Well, the little matter of Mike Sims-Walker deactivation. However, I really don't care at this point, unless it was for something truly facepalm worthy. It wouldn't have mattered if we had deactivated Jerry Rice for this game.
The Jaguars had 38 rushing yards on 15 attempts. Throw out Jones-Drew's 18 yard run early on, and that is 20 yards and 14 attempts. That's right, a team that prides itself on being physical averaged 1.4 yards per attempt on the ground today. Jones-Drew has been a non-factor the last two weeks, and that needs to change soon.
However, the main failure of this game falls on David Garrard's shoulders. That was easily the worst game from David since the Titans game in Week 15 of 2006.
The winds of change are going to be coming strong this week. The Emperor will surely be displeased and we know what happens when he is displeased

UPDATE
This just in, Quentin Groves was in a hit and run on his way to the airport Friday. I'm not pyschic but I know exactly what one of BCC's headlines will be Monday.
UPDATE #2
Michael Wright (via his twitter account) has stated it wasn't the ustream that got Mike Sims-Walker deactivated for the game Sunday. That mean's almost certainly a curfew issue.

you asked me earlier which was worse, FSU D or our O – I offically change my answer I gave you earlier.
wait
atleast Charleston southern atleast scored a field goal…………….. just sayin, i am pissed, and something dramatic really needs to happen this week
Brown Kid
It is tough to say anything after a game like that
I will wait until the Rams game-and i will try to NOT judge things this week (man it will be tough!)
I agree with this enigma John. Last week- we looked playoff caliber. Now we looked a contewnder to the 1/1 pick… It is an issue.
Passrush is a MAJOR, MAJOR, MAJOR issue-I mean c’mon a 4th LT from the practice squad; a ribinjured QB and what the Jags got is 1 sack by Landri…
Folks, if Harvey doen’t do something in the opposite direction, I will look to him as a BUST!!! 5 draft picks traded, holdout, ton of money and the result is this? Shame on you Shach Harris, Shame on you!
Running the ball-stopping the run-neither one worked-Edgerrin James looked like AP from Minnesota in the 4th Q. MJD is looked helplesss, and went nowhere…
David: Not so fast on that one. Yeah bad game. But is he got any protection? 5 sacks, it speaks from itself.
LOOOOOOOOOONG week coming.
I don’t wanna be on that plane as player now.. (As a fly I you betcha)

Yeah Garrard
started to hold on to the ball to long, but he only started doing that when the game was already out of hand and he was trying to make a play out of nothing.
Plus
We can’t see down the field. I’m sure Torry Holt was drawing a lot of attention, so I doubt he was open after halftime. And the rookie receivers, are rookies. Thats why I think it was insane to deactivate Sims-Walker. He’s the only other threat we have at receiver who can get open.
If hip hop is dead, then it happened the day that Dilla died.
-Akrobatik
While I was certainly disappointed..
that he was deactivated, doubly since he’s also on my FFL roster, I believe in holding players accountable. As young as this team is, everyone needs to be held accountable.
And if Groves truly did leave the scene of the accident, as is being reported, I hope they suspend him for a game. The young guys need to know that the coaches and management are expecting them to put the team first and I doubt care if MSW was 15 only minutes late for curfew or something equally minor. They need to have their heads in the game.
Also, seriously wtf
Groves is involved in a possible felony hit and run, yet he still plays
MSW, as far as we know, hosts a Ustream chat that is basicly a few guys on the team messing around on the plane to Seattle and he gets benched?
by Jonathan Loesche on Oct 11, 2009 8:16 PM EDT reply actions
groves held one too that lasted longer
MSW doesn’t ever do anything on his chats anyway
LateRoundPick.com
are we sure that's why ?
just curious as I haven’t seen the reason reported anywhere.
Another way to look at this
It really does not matter in the long run whether you loose by 1 point or 41.
Except for player performance. They seriously were laying an egg and did.
This is the same point in the season as last year when this team unravelled and a devide between coaches and players began. I hope we are not witnessing the same story. I think the team was effected by MSW inactive status.
What a mess
Hey guys, I’m Alex. I had been following BCC for a while and decided to join in today. As far as the game goes, I’m trying my best to get my dinner down, because the effort today was beyond words. I knew this team had a bad pass rush, but when you can’t get to the quarterback on an injury depleted line, you don’t deserve to be in the NFL. Say what you want about the secondary, but this d-line is horrible. I guess the only way Groves is going to hit someone is if he brings his car to the stadium. Lots of work to do by Gene in the offseason.
Welcome to the site, sorry you picked today to join
Also, what a day for BCC to roll over the 800,000 hit mark

The super negativity is not very journalistic.
This story should have stayed on the blog that you only show to your friends.
The Teal and Black are comin' back!
how?
So we beat the hell out of the Titans last week, and then we have this Sunday disaster. To me, the play calling was not near as creative as the last game, and MoJo’s runs for 1 yard will never cut it. But what can you do when David is off and our LT is simply unable to block? Eugene Monroe….wow, thanks for your talent and contribution to this team, enjoy your undeserved millions as you remain on the bench. Nothing worked today, and this is embarrassing. Poor Scobee only got to kick the ball one time today….when the Jags kicked off to Seattle to start the game. I sure as hell hope we can beat the magnificent 0-5 Rams next week.
I have failed
I couldn’t find out how to get two photos i found and layer, morph, add, combine or whatever you call it :(. The Emperor and Gene will not meet today.

Groves & Sims-Walker
just show how under prepared this team was. Team totally lost focus after getting full of themselves… was prolly playing Halo all week instead of reading the playbook. Play calling was horrible as well… guess we reached the limit on those end arounds, cause I didn’t even see one being called. The only good thing that can save my weekend is if the Titans beat the Colts… hopefully as bad as we lost today would be a bonus.

BUBBLE LIST, the house cleaning continues
The house cleaning continues, Fire Jack Del Rio, Dirk Koetter, Mike Shula, David Garrard, Harvey etc…
Did anyone notice the camera shot of Jack durning the game on the sidelines bent over, legs spread? Should you ever saw the movie Little Nicky with Adam Sandler his father the Devil down in Hell would have Hitler brought to him each day then had him bent over and a pineapple inserted pretty much sums up what Jacks going to get.
G DUNN
Where are
Terry, Collin and Chris?
I love to hear their view too about today’s “great performance”….

whew... Listen to this... my neighbors dogs attacked and killed my baby poodle (16 weeks old)
And I was with her at the vet with the game Tivoing, and I was so looking for it to bring me up, instead, we got shut out… and wow… did we play poorly in every way, especially the lines…

Oh sad hearing for your loss
I was also at a vet earlyer this night with our very sick rabbit. He is getting better, but he is still fighting with an illness, which is 40% deadly at least.He got that 1 month ago, and he is still fighting against it, maybe he will be healed. The way they played today; some Jags players should be show that rabbit as a role modell…

Double whammy
I saw enough bad defense last night in the FSU game. Now I had to sit and watch my other favorite team get destroyed. Can anyone tell me what Mathis was thinking when he “attempted” to tackle Burleson?

Michael Wright says it wasn't the ustream that got MSW deactivated
Means it’s almost certainly a curfew issue then
by Jonathan Loesche on Oct 11, 2009 10:35 PM EDT reply actions
I guess so
but they cannot say it (Jack didn’t mention it even on the pressconference) so yes it is looks like it was. I hope they can keep the secret, because this is a major blow, and could bring extremly burning fire under Jack and even for Gene too….
Specialy if we take Groves thing.
Boy the Jags need a blowout W against the Rams!!!!!

I think the coaches
need to be given props for having the balls to deactivate him. I think everyone else on the teamed learn not to mess with the head coach again. They don’t care how good or important you are, you are not gonna f&*% around.
It’s good they are holding players accountable but I wish they would punish them in a way that wouldn’t hurt the whole team. MSW was stupid and deserved punishment but the rest of the team didn’t have to suffer for “violating the itinerary”.
The impact of losing him for this game may be bigger than we realize. Losing your top guy so unexpectedly and so close to game time probably shook Garrard’s confidence early on. In football, especially with the Jags, one small setback usually leads to another, then another and then we go spiraling out of control.
Whatever happened to good old fashioned football punishment? Just make him run suicides until he pukes and fine him heavily. Unless he committed a crime, you can’t just take the number one receiver out of the line-up on game day.
Yeah
I’ve had a night to sleep on it and I’m not as negative now. Maybe they look at this as a gain, even though we laid a goose egg up in Seattle. They’ll discipline anybody at anytime.

Jaguars Snuff fans as they get snuffed in Seattle
Jaguars,
I was at the game today. Sure I was upset that you lost. Through thick and thin we all stayed until the last ball was snapped cheering our Jaguars on in one of the most hostile of territories. In my section alone there was 10 of us. Right at the 40 yard line, 1st and 2nd row up. Do you think your fans could get some sort of acknowlegement? How about a thanks for coming out and supporting your team? Heck No. Not even a hand wave, nadda, nothing. The Jaguars have no public relations. If an NFL football is a business than the team is the product and the fans are the customers. The Jaguars just snuffed off their customers. It’s no wonder you can’t sell out a home game. 40 yard line tickets ain’t cheap! If you can’t acknowlege fans that spend that much money to see their favorite team as a visitor, how could you possibly take care of them at home.

They aren’t paid to wave to fans brother… they’re paid to win the game. After that loss, I wouldn’t want to go see any fans either. Grow up…

WOW
that makes me feel a LOT better. Seriously it does. That normally doesn’t happen from news like that.
And at least my high school Alma Mater won their game for the first time since 1992. Not that my high school sucks. Poly, the team they beat, is a generally a great school with alumni like Deseason Jackson, Willie McGinest, and Marcedes Lewis. Luckily of my old high school, Lakewood, we have a great QB this year. Unfortunately for me, as a UCLA alumnus, he’s going to USC next year.
How much you want to bet
that they blow out the Rams next week and then we’ll hear that someone will do something stupid during the bye and we get blown out again by the Titans?
In the face of adversity, what you do from then on dictates who you really are...
Seriously?
This story is ridiculous. The Jaguars have major personnel issues. It’s a rebuilding year. Both of the Jags’ lines were whooped today. It sucks but that’s it. And blaming this game on David Garrard is foolish. Both lines for the Jaguars lost this one today.
The Teal and Black are comin' back!
Re-building is lame excuse:
1.for team that goes from week to week, one time like on road to SB, other like Lions or Riders
2.for bad coaching, not doing your job, making realy bad calls
3.for some real issues in the team, there is a problem and JDL can’t fix it, he is part of the problem.
4.for bad choices on draft, and not admiting them.
5.for cuting, and taking out some of the players (MoPete, Freddy T…)
Things that make me go hummm
After a good week there are some major things that need to be addressed
1. our pass rush is about as good as a little league team after eating some hot dogs.
Way to be addressed. Groves and Harvey need put up or shut up. Also Ted Mac needs to go the way of the Do – Do
2. MoJo. we just gave him a sweeet contract yet there is no production.
Way to be addressed. This starts with the O-line. Our O line is getting schooled way too much. If Monroe and brittion can’t get the job done then have them ride some pine until they are able to start
3. Coaching. I am on ends with Del Rio. He shows spurts of greatness as a coach but then drops the ball big time. It has been six years and things haven’t changed much.
Way to be addressed. Time of some fresh blood to come in and for Del Rio to go.
Speaking from a die hard Jag fan. we need some change and some change soon otherwise the Jags will not last long here in Jacksonville. If a good product is put on the field the Jags will be successful as a franchise here in the city. I feel that there is a change coming from Gene soon
Time will tell, But for the Jags Time is the one thing that is not on our side right now

I would have to agree with only your first point...
Pass rush is AWFUL, and has been for 2 years. Jag have to blitz to create a ruh and with the WRs that Seattle has, we were limited to keeping 5 in the secondary. That totally limits our blitzing ability. Hasselbeck had all day and he carved our best corner up. Mathis was not worth his hype yesterday.
Mojo has been producing this year but with MSW out, all the Seahawks had to do was cover Holt and stop the run early. When we were down three scores, Seattles D tee’d off on David, causing bad throws and a fumble TD. I think that we have a Greenhorn O line. It only been 4 weeks that these men have been working together, so I’m not surprised that were getting beat by elite D lines. This is a “R” year, not a “P” year…
I don’t blame JDR. His game plan obviously included MSW, but with him being deactivated, the Jags passing game looked like it did in 08.
A blowout loss on the road is tough to handle, and i feel your pain, but die hard Jags fans wouldn’t ask for JDR’s head after a bad loss, or remind EVERYONE here of the situation with the possibility of the Jags moving.
One of the best
comments I’ve read since the loss. You summed up the game and I totally agree with how the game went.
Harvey
He better start playing with some urgency, because Gene has shown that he will replace people who aren’t producing. But I don’t see the pass rush getting any better this year. It’s gonna have to be fixed in the offseason.
Made me laugh, then sigh...
when Vic wrote in his blog, ’I’d like to officially offer my services to rush the passer’.
