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.

    • The blue line is a mess not collectively, but having to shuffle pieces just to get 3 D lines on the ice while playing three perennial contenders in 3 consecutive games without a break, there's not a lot of room for error.  Last night, there was literally not a single defensive pairing that had ever skated together before, either in the preseason or so far this season. 
    • Yeah, I am just looking at our pass blocking stats and the Texans stats being similar, but our oline is way better than theirs IMO. I feel like there are at least 5 times a game 3+ guys come free on a pass rush for opposing teams vs. the Texans. I can't recall too many times I have seen multiple lineman get beat/blow their blocking assignment on the same play this season for us.
    • I agree Someone like CJ who throws one of the nicest balls and throws with anticipation and everything you want just protect him. He has Nico. All other resources should’ve gone into the OL Now with that said I don’t think Young’s numbers would be very far off from Stroud’s had he gone to Houston  I mean since the whole CJ giving Caleb that post game speech their numbers are pretty similar if I’m recalling correctly
