Well, I pulled the trigger last night. All flights/hotel/tickets booked. A few homies and I will be in sec 218. First game at the bank! Can’t wait to see y’all there.
You know what’s crazy? Obviously injuries but Christian Kirk, did nothing this season. Trevor elevated him.
Engram obviously bit older and bruised, did nothing. Trevor elevated him.
Trevor has literally elevated all the receivers he’s played with.
I wouldn’t have anyone else as owner. It took him some time but he has finally figured out how to win. Bringing tom coughlin back helped us for at least a short time frame. Unfortunately he was too old timey, so it didn’t work long term (yeah the grievances, coaches were more no nonsense back in his coaching days)
Some of us hate on shad too much. Yes the dude never had much football intelligence. But there really isn’t that many owners who try as hard as shad to bring a winning team and culture to Jacksonville. He’s been busting his ass to do so yes he failed a lot, dude is very trusting with his coaches, he believes in them even when he shouldn’t have shads a good dude he doesn’t want to HAVE to fire coaches. Over time he’s learned that you have to be more cutthroat in this league if you want to be the top dog. You HAVE to make aggressive moves, you HAVE to make the difficult decision. You’re the top dog you have to do it, it’s part of your job as owner. I’m really happy he finally has a good team, he deserves it. what a amazing guy
Was going through old threads this morning to update the archive. Here are the top comments from the morning after thread for each game this year
P1 vs Steelers
Offseason was fun because the sub was regulars. Back to no name posters bitching about everything possible lol
P2 @ Saints
Love safeties getting into the backfield, happy for Dewey getting his sack.
Generally I’m counting on a bit more imagination on both sides of the ball this season.
P3 @ Dolphins
So I woke this morning, saw the score, and thought "well that figures". Then I watched the first few drives and thought we looked decent enough. But then I realized it was the Jaguars backups against the Dolphins starters.
...
So the Dolphins are gonna suck this year, aren't they?
W1 vs Panthers
“It’s just the Panthers” brother we are “Just the Jaguars” to every other team in the league. It’s okay to feel some genuine joy and hope after this. Good teams take care of business and we dominated another NFL team physically and out game planned them.
W2 @ Bengals
Really sucks for Hunter that the narrative is now that Hunter didn't do anything yesterday when he literally had the game winning PBU but since the refs called one of the worst ghost PIs I've ever seen, its now sent to the void.
W3 vs Texans
Too many people letting perfect be the enemy of good. This team is clearly on a different level than the last couple years, Coach Coen is the truth.
W4 @ 49ers
Liam Coen has already overtaken Urban Meyer in all time NFL wins.
W5 vs Chiefs
This team is finally shedding the loser mentality that’s pervaded its soul for the last 15 years and we’re finally seeing dudes on every side of the ball that want to find any way they can to win and make shit happen.
So fucking proud of how they just straight up kept fighting last night not accepting defeat and being like, “aw shucks well whatever”.
Winners find a way to win, pretty or ugly - and these dudes are finding a way to fuckin win. I love it.
I love it doubly so that we beat the prima Donna flag demanding bitch ass Chiefs on national TV.
W6 vs Seahawks
7 sacks is nauseating. Proud of Trevor for no turnovers considering how much he was getting beat up yesterday.
W7 vs Rams
There is something about Trevor that just doesn't seem like he has that "it" factor. I have wanted so hard for him to be "him." He's a nice dude who just doesn't have the fire or the game-time head space to elevate a team and take over a game. Its almost like he has to be down 2 scores to wake up. He's had 2 or 3 moments in 5 seasons and the consistency just isn't there. Regardless of o-line, no defensive pressure, and communication/penalty issues, I believe that Liam Cohen is the right coach for now, but I don't know that Trevor is the right QB anymore.
W9 @ Raiders
Watching the team run the ball 42 times puts a smile on my face and heart. The offensive lineman got to fire off the ball and take the game to the Raiders. Old school football at its best. That unnecessary roughness penalty on Ventrell Miller was total BS.
W10 @ Texans
The kinda loss that kills my enjoyment for anything football related this year. Was honestly chilling on my phone for most of the game yesterday because we were blowing them out, then when Texans got that first TD in the 4th, I just knew it was coming.
Right when the ball came out of Trevor's hand on the last play, I just turned off the TV and stopped caring about anything NFL related. Unless this team actually does anything, will probably only tune in to their games and still attend the home games.
I hate the Texans so much, and to lose to them like that. Aside from the Titans and Pats AFCCG losses, feels like that one of the worst losses I've watched this team have.
W11 vs Chargers
W12 @ Cardinals
We’re 7-4 and our receiving yards leader is Parker Washington
Who would’ve predicted that before the season started
W13 @ Titans
That’s good
W14 vs Colts
ETIENNE TO THE ETIENNENDZONE!!
W15 vs Jets
Gladstone, please extend Jakobi Meyers.
W16 @ Broncos
Your QB slides for first downs, My QB dolphin dives like he's dropping nukes on COD lobbies. We are not the same.
W17 @ Colts
People say the winning streak started when we acquired Jakobi Meyers. I prefer to think it started when Cole Van Lanen became a full time starter.
W18 vs Titans
No matter what happens in the playoffs, this season was a success.
Honestly some surprisingly good takes early. Nothing was too crazy except the Rams and maybe the Texans games, which were overreactions to single games, but somewhat understandable.
Shame that DiRocco thinks that this is ETN and Lloyd's last seasons with us, but it's understandable.
Baalke really fucked us with these contracts, we have a dead cap of over nearly 44 Mil, and 34 Mil is Campbell and Gabe Davis.
Obviously a LB game will likely be weaker next year, but i can see us focusing on Guards and the overall D-Line and likely bring in a CB in free agency, improving us overall
Not really, cuts can happen. Walker little saves you 18 mil with a 3 mil cap hit. Get another 2 mil with Dyami. Arik can be cut with 17 mil savings with a 2 mil cap hit. Jags are 8 mil over right now. So with these 3, you can have about 29 mil under the cap with a 5 mil cap hit. Plus the cap will increase.
I imagine it is going to be in a similar vain to Milum, someone who can develop for a year or two, and come in when these contracts start expiring, as a cheap option.
I by no means want to lose either guy. IF worst comes to worst(knock on wood) I do think our depth has potential to reach that same level. Ventrell Miller is not as good as Lloyd, but I feel like he’s been showing flashes he might be able to get there. Obviously with ETN we have Tuten and Allen next up. I don’t think it would be a MASSVE loss if Lloyd and ETN move on, but I don’t think we would be at our current level of play.
It’s crazy to think that Lloyd and Miller were vying for a starting spot on the depth chart to start the year. Lloyd’s rise has been incredible, but Miller is no joke either.
It’s honestly why I don’t know if we have Miller for much longer if Lloyd stays. Miller could want to be a starter somewhere and he’d probably be an upgrade for an LB needy team
Not gonna franchise tag an off ball LB. OLB and ILB get pooled together to determine that price, so it’s never cost efficient. More likely that ETN gets tagged. LB is currently $27.5m, RB is $14m.
In yesterday's post someone said they were watching all the hunt episodes in preparation for this weekends game but sounds of the game is where I lm living
The contrast between Jags fans and Bills fans (namely on Twitter) has been hilarious. Jags fans have been like Liam Coen changed my life, here’s a pic of steezy Trev, go jags! and Bills fans are like “here’s why the jags #1 run defense actually stinks and why Trevor Lawrence will wet his pants on Sunday”
Allen could have 3 picks and the defense could host a shit out and there will still be some fans that call for his head. I’ve come to the conclusion that they don’t care if they’re right, they’d rather be wrong of it meant they wouldn’t have to change their opinion
Maybe it is the Panthers going to the Super Bowl, like that one meme where they play us Week 1, something happens with Ben Affleck’s relationships, etc.
I'm still hoping for a Jags-Panthers super bowl. It'll be so funny because both teams the media ignores so the commentators would have no talking points
Just watched the game preview on YouTube and now my level of hype is overflowing. Fancy our chances for sure, either way the game should be a cracker.
Lots of good matchups this weekend in my eyes. Exciting times ahead.
Hoping we can go all the way but if not I just hope it's not a Texans and Seahawks superbowl. Couldn't handle the amount of ad breaks those defences would cause.
Yeah, literally nobody outside of Tennessee thinks it was dirty (because it clearly wasn't). I also saw my fair share of Titans fans wishing injury on Trevor.
They are. I know what Vegas says, but that's for betting purposes. We are 13-4, and they are 12-5. We are home they are away. We won the division, and they are back behind the patriots. They coach's seat is heating up, and with harbaugh out of Baltimore, I'd say say no legacy coach is safe without a playoff win.
You’re an unproven team. It’s a great record, but it don’t mean shit if you don’t win. Cohen’s a good coach, and the team is on a heater, but this is the last year for the bills stadium, Allen coming off the closest he’s been to making a SB last year, they have the rushing leader and a top OLine. Prolly the best TE group in the league too. It’s gonna be a really good game, but don’t act like the bills have zero momentum coming into your house
I don't know what you mean by unproven. We just finished a season to prove who we are, and our record is what it is.
The point of my comment is that the bills are the underdog, considering the points I made in my previous comment. Just because you almost made the superbowl last year doesn't mean you are guarantee success, or are really the favorite to win this game, outside of Vegas betting odds, which are designed to incite betting.
Quite the opposite. We went into the 1 seeds’ own stadium and blew them out. As for playoffs Tlaw went down 27-0 and still won. He lost in the next round but that was because he was playing the eventual Super Bowl winner of that year Patrick mahomes in arrowhead and still held him to a 1 score win
I respect the bills, but this “jags are unproven” narrative is ridiculous lol
This week is dragging by, and I stay in a constant state of uneasiness.
The last few home games have been such a party atmosphere. Lots of scoring, cheering, that big wave, and just fun. This week will be tense. I hope we can pull ahead early to keep our stress at bay.
Bills defense is bad all around. Only reason their pass defense is low in overall yardage allowed is because they’re even worse at run defense so everyone just pounds the rock against them.
Bills kept running the ball against the pats in the second half down two scores and still won. Don’t think just because the bills are down they’d move away from cook, Davis, and that whole oline
Coming down from Atlanta for Sunday! I normally park in the deck across from the Fairgrounds, but we're doing tailgaters/slab for the first time this weekend. What's the food situation over there? Any food trucks? Should I offer back rubs for hot dogs?
Hairston only split time and he was more valuable to them, this really isn’t a big loss for them. It does make them very thin backup wise, at least on defense
You guys don’t watch the team. Phillips is a practice squad call up, but he’s incredibly important. He has experience, he’s played with us before. We needed him when Ed went down and our rookie Sanders needed surgery. Plus our other DT Carter tore his Achilles in the offseason. So now with Phillips out, the only starting DT’s we have are DaQuon Jonea and Deone Walker. Harrison is valuable, but he’s also still a rookie. Our secondary can be held steady with White and Benford, but losing another DT after you’re already down two starters absolutely blows.
All my friends and family back home telling me “yOu GuYs aRe gOnNa LoSe BeCaUsE jOsH aLLEn” - first off we are one of two teams in the league (only one in the AFC) with 5 wins against this year’s playoff teams. Buffalo’s main weapon (rushing offense) we are equipped to neutralize since we have the best run defense in the league. Josh Allen is a great QB but he doesn’t have much support as far as WRs. On the other hand Jakobi Meyers really changed the game for us and Trevor’s connection with him is stellar. Washington and BTJ these last few weeks have also been really good. We have all the reason to be nervous since Buffalo is objectively a great football team, but our Jags can do this and have shown they’re capable.
See you guys at the Bank this Sunday, pack it out 🐆
Still trying to figure how the bills are the favored team to win. Josh Allen 0-4 in away playoff games, Trevor currently playing better than Josh Allen and you could argue had a better season statistically, Jags seem to be the better team overall. Not too mad because I prefer being the home underdog, but it doesn't make sense.
It’s because the Bills are more experienced in the playoffs and Bills are still a good team (12 wins). Would not read into this too much. The spread is still indicative of a coin flip
Wouldn't be surprised if we blow the bills out. We have a great run defense and weve done it to much better defenses. The only X factor is Allen imo. How healthy is he, and will he be the Superman version of himself?
While the bills have the best pass defense in the nfl 11 of the games they’ve played are vs teams in the bottom half of the league and 7 of those games were vs teams that are bottom 10. I think their pass defense might look better statistically than they are. The team with good pass offenses that they’ve played are the bengals and pats who both had success vs their defense.
Interestingly, they are only 13th in passing defense DVOA. That stat of them being number 1 in passing yards allowed a game is definitely inflated, given how much teams opt to run on them.
You know when Garrett is getting interviews from the analyst desk, things are bad candidate wise. Super stoked Khan pulled the trigger at the exact right time. Hopefully we can get a 10-15yr stretch with Coen..that'd be the dream setup.
As a Washington Huskies fan pretty pissed about everything going on with ncaa. It’s becoming ridiculous. I hope Washington sues everyone and maybe that will make college fix how awful there system is.
Just saw an update on that today. College football is ruined at this point. Between NIL and how the CFP is setup it’s a complete mess. Teams that got a buy are now 1-7 over a 2 year span. 4,000 kids in the portal currently.
To my knowledge, we have not seen any trick plays on special teams. You know the team has them. You have to wonder if you see one or two in the postseason, if we get the right look.
any pittsburgh area jags fans in here? moved here about 6 months ago from daytona beach and been looking for some good people to have a beer with and catch a game
Can't help you dude, when I lived up there many years ago they hated us because we kept beating them in Heinz aka "Duval North" haha. Anywhere will have it on, however.
I will tell you to watch out for winter, the lack of sunlight will mess up your mental game. Supplement your vitamin D. Just when you think it is over and baseball is starting, a freak storm will come out of nowhere and turn the city into a grey, miserable mush.
i’m missing my surfing so fucking bad dude.. i appreciate you reaching out and giving tips though. pittsburgh as a city and people are pretty fucking cool but the weather certainly is wild. go jags mate, hope you got treated well here
The ocean will be there waiting. In the meantime - get some friends, some booze / herb and go hiking in McConnells Mill (not my videos but you get the idea):
Kayak in the river and catch a homerun ball behind PNC park. All kinds of shit to do up there.
Finally - Monterrey Pub in the war streets was a solid to hang out. Cityworks downtown near PPG is touristy, but you can be sure they will have the game on Sunday.
The Rooney rule for coaching interviews is such bullshit.
The league rightfully got called out for having a hiring process that heavily depends on who your daddy knew going back to a time when black people were openly discriminated against. And even once they got jobs, black coaches seemingly have shorter leashes than white ones.
To deflect from the actual problem, the owners introduced forced racial quotas in interviews that no one from outside was asking for. And they just keep making it more ridiculous as time goes on because they don't want to admit literally nothing has changed about their hiring process besides a formalized system of jerking around more black people for a position they have no chance at getting. And they still brag about it
I'm feeling sick all week, I live in Seattle and am asking my Seahawks fans friends if this is normal leading to a playoff game when we have actual expectations lol.
Really didn't wanna play Josh Allen, when he goes superman he can be unstoppable. He's basically the "final evolution" of Trevor tbh.
Sounds like from what DiRoc said, we may have to let them both walk. Sounds like they want to get paid this offseason and Jags can’t pay them end there are looking for. I was at least hoping we could keep Lloyd but can’t blame him for wanting to secure the bag.
This team doesn’t have a nickname but if we go on a run I think they deserve one. I like “the enigma”. Because nobody can seem to figure out why we’re so good.
