This is about as unhappy as I've ever been about a win

The short yardage play calling just fuging sucks, especially near the goal line. It's like we're afraid to punch the ball in, or maybe Norv just doesn't have faith in the O-line. We play a tad too conservatively with a relatively small lead & are obviously afraid for Allen to throw the ball, and with Allen putting the ball on the field & doing his hurt-Cam impression with the over and under-throws, Norv (Ron) might have a point. 

As much as we were exploiting CMC (to the sidelines in crunch time), it seems like we would have used the run to set up some passes down the field, but those plays just didn't really materialize. Moreover, I would have liked to see more quick slants.

After the first series, I was like Norv is finally opening up the offense, and then we commenced to running CMC into the ground, and I can tell you from watching football for 40+ years, that it's not sustainable. It's a telltale sign that he cramped up & Bonnafon actually came in with fresh legs and made JAX pay.

The pass defense was very shaky, but I guess I'll give them a little bit of a pass. Chark is the real deal, and so is Minshew! He really outplayed Allen on everything except the scoreboard. 

We've got to do better, especially with the offensive play calling. 

This is a game that I feel lucky to have won, and in my opinion it shouldn't have been this way.

Oh, yeah, just when I praised Slye...Tighten up!

We're 3-2 with a back-up QB.

Did everyone expect every win to look perfect in this situation?

I get your frustration, but I'm hype as hell.  We were 0-2 with our franchise QB ruled out for the foreseeable future.  This is so much better than what I expected.

Worst thing for me was not kicking a FG when we could have gone up 7 and not give the jags so much hope to come back. It was a stupid momentum call to go for it when we were already up 4 points. Made no sense and if Bonnafon wasn’t a stud back up we probably would have lost this game.

    • My friend, pretty much stayed at his level for the next 30 years. But he is own boss and happy I guess. Not a bad guy personally.  That is probably Tepper. 
    • Banking your hopes on a couch FA that has a cup of tea NFL career to date as an almost 31 year old QB is certainly something. Especially when you consider that he has spent literally zero time in our offense so far. I think that White might be solid competition and possibly be better than Hendon Hooker, which is certainly a very low bar to clear.  That's probably about where the level is for White. He's a potential upgrade to our PS QB.
    • I need to look more into how pass block win rate is calculated. Like, if the other team gets a coverage sack because nobody is open and the guy I am blocking gets free to pressure/sack the QB after 5 seconds, is that considered a pass block "loss"? I honestly don't think our pass blocking has been that bad this year (outside of Nijman at LT week 1 and Zavala for 2 out of 3 games). For the most part, teams aren't getting by with a 4 man rush and are having to blitz. Looks like teamrankings says we are 10th in sacks allowed (1.7/game) - and that isn't because we have a QB getting the ball out at an elitely quick rate.
