Let's Talk Jacksonville Week 1


Recommended Posts

First games are tough. If we stay healthy I look for our team to route the Jags. Jacksonville is improving but we are a much better team. I think this game is very much like Tampa last year. The exception is Cam will be there with much better weapons.

I was wondering about how Jaguar fans felt about opening against us, so I tried to go to their forums.  I couldn't find anything that's been updated or posted on recently.

Does anyone talk about them online?  This is kind of sad...

I'm with CP, it's a trap game. On paper, we ought to beat them senseless. 

The problem is, they aren't a dumpster fire team anymore, they are building something there. They'll be playing at home, in the Florida heat and they won't be taking us lightly. If we're looking past them at some of the harder teams on our schedule, they'll kick our butts.

If we take it seriously and somehow not do our traditional opening day screw up, we should take them handily.

​Saw some posts from their boards about a month ago. Most think it's a sure win for them. We were 7-8-1 and the national media says we're terrible, so I can't blame the Jags fans for not knowing what's coming their way.

​What boards?  Seriously, the Jungle hasn't had a post since February...

I was at the last Jags game and it was an offensive mess, not to mention the monsoon right before the half. The Jags missing their 1st round DE is a big plus. We really don't have to light it up offensively to beat the Jags, but we'll need to make a few big plays and to avoid turnovers. I picture an ugly low scoring game with the Panthers controlling the ball and burning the clock. A loss would be shocking, and the huddle would be up in arms to blame Shula.

    • I had started typing my post hours ago and didn’t finish it and just came back to finish it, posted it, then saw yours and saw we were pretty much saying the same thing - even the games that stick out to us most.  I don’t think a lot of people remember that SF playoff game, but I felt like I had just got mugged in broad daylight.  I remember them calling Mitchell for unnecessary roughness, and then I remember watching Boldin take a super late cheap shot, dead in front of the ref and then showing him watching the whole thing in replay…  the refs let them have a fuging field day and didn’t do jack poo, but if we so much as breathed the wrong way it was fuging 15 yards.  Each team playing under two completely different sets of rules.  poo hurt.  I was enraged.  I’ve never went back to watch either that game or SB50 and never will.  fuging robbery.
    • I’ve said it a million times since, but it’s impossible to keep them from affecting the game.  In SB50, they literally took the game from us, and they did it early.  Cotchery’s no-catch?  The miraculous amount of times we converted for a first down only to have it suddenly called back make it a 3rd down and 15+ against the best defense in the league that specialized in rushing the passer and man coverage on the back end?  And you do that enough times, you kill the morale and confidence of the team you’re doing it against.  It’s telling the one team “you can do whatever with impunity” and the other “you can’t do whatever they’re allowed to do.”  It changes the aggression level.  It essentially neuters one team and allows the other to do whatever the fug they want.  Imagine you call the police for help and they get there and tell you to sit still while the other party beats the poo out of you and you can’t defend yourself.  That’s what the officials do.  There is no way to avoid them affecting the game.  And more often than not, it’s the most subjective calls they use to do so.  Even in SB50…  you saw the Broncos commit more egregious penalties than anything we did, and barely any of it was called.  Their OL was holding all fuging game and the refs did nothing.  We already had our work cut out for us against two future HOF edge rushers and the refs played to their advantage with that.  From what I remember, both Oher and Remmers were called for holding at various times and their hands were in the INSIDE of the defender.  It was garbage, but all by design. Also, if there is any video of it anywhere, go look at what the refs did against us back in 2013 against SF.  The fix was in there too.  They stepped in early and often and ensured we knew we were not allowed to play with the same aggression or intensity SF was.  It was disgusting as well. at this point, I hope Vince McMahon, errr, I mean Goodell just finally scripts us to win it, because this poo is not won via competition or off merit.
    • You can go back to the New York Knicks somehow getting Patrick Ewing.  I saw a story where they place the New York Knick card in the freezer right before the drawing.  It was simple.  Show everyone the cards are undetectable to the human eye.  All they had to do was grab the coldest card. IMO ever since Goodell took over the NFL it has been fishy.  Patriots winning the SB after 9/11, New Orleans after Katrina and Peyton Manning's going away gift against us. The terrible calls during that game were blatantly one sided.  New England should have been stripped of their first 3 SB when they were caught spying on the other team in their SB wins.  I think the evidence against the Patriots was so damning Goodell felt it could ruin football and they brushed it under the table.   In the 2004 SB, How did we go from practically no yards in the first Quarter to setting a record in the 3rd Qtr.  Dan Henning changes the game plan.  IMO probably the greatest half time adjustment of all time.
