Let the Draft Talk Begin: Jaguars Fall in Cleveland 23-17

in Jacksonville Jaguars Post Game
Email
PrintThe Browns and Jaguars both came into this game on a roll, though not in the same direction. By game's end their respective progression would continue as Cleveland beat Jacksonville 23-17 in a contest not as close as the score would indicate.
If you were a participant on the "in game" threads it seemed we were more passionate about this game than the players were, save possibly Darryl Smith, Zach Miller and less than a handful of others. Dropping the final four games of the season and once again failing to exhibit any sign of life on the road has left a sour taste in the mouths of the fan base.
Though the final drive was a nice way to end the year, it doesn't take away from the disappointment of missed opportunities. That this season seems to mirror 2006 in so many ways, I think, adds to the sour taste. Same quarterback. Same coach. Same collapse.
The Jacksonville defense was man-handled by the Browns offensive front. If any statistics indicate just how this game went it is these:
- Jaguars - 0 sacks, 1 pass defended, 0 quarterback hits
- Browns - 3 sacks, 5 passes defended, 10 quarterback hits
- Jaguars - 24 rushing attempts, 131 yards
- Browns - 49 rushing attempts, 214 yards

Good quick recap Brian
Well- The rookies looked good (Miller 2TD; M. Thomas-rookie franchise record); Cox INT-4th and the most by anyone from the team; Jennings and Allen)
That 4 loss in the end make our mouth very bitter sadly-BUT to see the good-We will not blame that Miami game….
I think some coaches (NOT JDR) must go- Monachino; and maybe; I said MAYBE Koetter.
JDR job is save-but 2010 will be MAKE OR BREAK for him and the schedule look tough(AFC WEST-2 trip to the west coast..; NFC east nough said..; our division..but at least the 2 X opponent looks like to be Cleveland; and Buffalo…)
David must take a paycut-he is NOT worth 8 million a year-And I think he nows it…
I think 2010 will be the last full year for him(I hope Gene will spent the 2011 1st round pick for a QB!)
Goodbye: Clint; Reggie; Tra; Quentin; (maybe) Brad; (maybe) Vince and I think there will be mnore
Reggie Hayward is a must resign!
Gen should look around in the FA market for another DE too. I know he is not liking FAs but this offseason the Jaguars must go fishing and find some (2-3) DECENT FAs; there will be a lot of FAs-the price will be LOWER then Usual for them-oif you are smart.
Enjoy the postseason
AND PLEASE BCC: POST Wisely-I know it is tough; but posting those FIre JDR-cut David will not help the Jaguars nor us!

Glad I didn't see the game
But hearing it on the radio when I was at work today left me in a bad mood for the rest of the day. I think this game showed how far the Jags have fallen off from being the physically dominating team they were only a few years ago. Now, even horrible teams like the Browns are running over them, which is pretty pathetic. At least most of the rookies played reasonably well this year.
The Browns
Offensive line is coming around. They have problems at right tackle, but that line is full of road graders.

Mediocre
As in average, not able to get over the hump. And word, Zack Miller is a monster. I’d love to see him catch 60 passes and 7 TDs next year.

By the way
I hope the Jags will receive at least 2 more draft pics via trade or complimentary. 5 picks is veeeeeeeeery low right now!
We haveles problems then last year-but we need 7-9 picks by Gene.
I hoe we can get back a 2nd rounder for Clint + someone…

Anyone see (or hear) the Jaguars mentioned on the NFL Network over the last hour? I saw a posting on the Jaguars Message Board about the team, but since then the post was deleted. Before I write about it, I’m hoping for a little confirmation.

Ah, we're clearly on the same page.
I’d re-post what I read, but then I’d be re-posting something third hand that may not be true, so I don’t want to get crazy.
Zoltan,
My new years resolution is to make this the best off-season of coverage at BCC ever. So you won’t have to be surprised when you see me post.

The jags is moving
This article isn't what I heard.
Glazer’s usually on point, but I’m not so sure I agree with his premise. While the $15 million that Weaver would owe Del Rio is a problem, I don’t think it’s a big factor in a sale of the team.
My gut says that we’re going to hear that Wayne has sold a percentage of the team. He’s never been shy about wanting to take on a minority co-owner, and this would be consistent with his repeated statements that he’s in it to bring a championship to Jacksonville.
But please, enjoy the next few months of Jaguars to LA drama.

Keep in mind
Mike Florio also reported this garbage:

Exactly.
Though, to his credit, Florio’s gotten better at actually reporting about the Jaguars, though he’s still never heard a Jaguars to LA rumor that he didn’t like.

Yeah, it's a shame that it's meaningless.
Though, that’s a pretty bad attitude on my part. This season saw the Jaguars grow with 30 new faces and an entire draft crop taking the field. While the end is disappointing and there needs to be some pretty big changes, it’s not a “lost” season.

At least we will have NO nightmares and bitter moments
because of the Miami game.
BNY the way this playoffs will be wicked
I think Colts will lose again; Pats lost Welker; The Jets might go in; so as the Ravens-And SD is the team to beat
NDFC: All of sudden DALLAS is the team to beat; NO looks really bad; Minnesota-well Idon’t know what is about them GB is a sleeper…
And Chris Johnson is might broke the rushing recvord???

The New York Jets
Go to the playoffs because the teams they’ve played are already locked in their seed and are playing for “nothing”. After Welker’s knee blew out, you can already count on Cincy playing at half speed.

Zoltan you'd have to be a native to understand why this guy must go.
We have heard excuse after excuse of why JDR should stay. I have even made some up myself and every year we are faced with the same mediocre product. I’ve heard:
There wasn’t enough talent.
We stopped drafting QBs.
WRs too big and too slow.
Leftwich was bad.
There were periods when we were loaded with talent (2005- 2007) and we did nothing.
What is JDRs record? Like 2 above .500?
A huge December meltdown, 4 game losing streak. Don’t tell me lack of talent is why we lost or rookies. I won’t believe that foolishness.
Why was Garrard never pulled?
How many years has Jack had? 7!
How many coaches have been fired under him?
Don’t give me that Shack Harris bull crap. That’s not an excuse. WRs seemed to do fairly good during the Leftwich era (even Reggie Williams had great numbers!).
This team hasn’t won a division title since like 1998 (or earlier).
How long? How much more time?
This team won’t go anywhere under this coach. I don’t care if we had the greatest drafts in NFL history. NEVER NEVER NEVER.
Our only hope every single year is to squeak by with a Wildcard berth.
Everyone knew we weren’t going to get by the Colts. The Titans were going to give us fits. And the Texans always had our number even going as far as blatant disrespect with their battle red jerseys.
Leftwich got benched in Tampa
So he wasn’t the answer there either. And if you put him behind our current offensive line, it would be a complete disaster
We need a LITTLE MORE PATIENCE
and it will pay off
And don’t forget Peyton Manning is in our divcisio-one of the great NFL QBs.
How many divisional titles ha the other teams since Brady is there? 1-when he was injured.
This team had 3 year of oppurtunity under Jack (because of Harris POOR DRAFTING AND SIGNINGS!) and 2 was gone because of the QB issue.
I want wins but this is the NFL! The lionsdon’T have a winning record since I don’T know. The Cowboys might win 2 weeks from now the 1st time in the pllayoffs since Troy Aikman was the QB…
AND THE LAST POSTSEASON WIN OF THE AFC SOUTH STILL BELONGS TO THIS TEAM!!!!!

Explain how the Titans won the division with the Football Emperor in it.
And Poor Harris drafting is bullshit.
I think it is overblown.
You lost me at Reggie Williams had great numbers under Leftwich. Only year he did anything worth a damn was 07, with Garrard was the QB

JDR appears to be safe. He’ll be w/the Jags next year. You can read why in my story tomorrow.
Such a tease, but that’s one question answered.

then he will have 1 last shot too!

Jets lead 7-0

(and so far they not show so much life)
It would be another good time to read Battle Red Blog-and the emotions of being sooooo close-A halfback pass close to the POs…

We could see what crazy thing eliminates the Texans from the playoffs. They always go out in style. Whether that’s halfback pass or Rosencopter, it’s always entertaining.
I just wrote that to the Hungarian gamethread....

MJD is not enough
We need to draft another RB is 1st rnd (+OL in the others), and go back to runing game.
CJ Spiller might be the guy
But I think there will be a lot of talent at Nr. 10…So Don’t know.

I do think
we could use another RB, to change up styles a little. And so as not to overuse MJD. But I don’t think that takes a top 10 pick, for a guy that will only split carries.
