Watching Jaguars and Patriots game

The 12th Man : 9/16/2018 6:44 pm
After watching the 1st 3 quarters, as a Giants fan feeling much better about our team. Patriots making a come back now but Jags D has made it very difficult on the Patriots and Brady has been getting knocked around. Their O has been very solid with no Lee, or Robinson or most importantly Fournette. Jags WR made an Odell type catch.

If we can fix a few mistakes from last week tonight might be the start of better things to come. We win tonight and the world will look a lot better with every other team in our division losing. Go Blue!
Yeah, could be a good sign

Most of us thought Jax was a good team. But in the NFL you never know from year to year.

Good to see them taking it to NE
I get what you re saying

But they could have won that game. If they don t correct their mistakes from last week, especially offense, they ll most likely lose again tonight
Mara and Tisch

And the absolute dumbfuq bbi'ers who cheered this on. F*ck!

I was dead wrong about this one. I thought w/o whatshisname the Jags would score like 10. But the hoody's strategy backfired, he usually takes away what you do well and the Jags do nothing well so he took away nothing. Genius on Jacksonville's part.
Jacksonville is terrific

Really no major weaknesses and some wonderful units of strength. Even bortles — He’s more athletic than most qbs and he can in fact play. He’s had 30 Td seasons. He’s throw tds passing in divisional playoff games made big plays in playoff games. Essentially the best team in football.

It's funny how Coughlin is given complete credit for all the good in Jacksonville, but isn't responsible for any of the bullshit that went down in NY.

...and he was the fucking head coach here.

The truth is somewhere in the middle.

He is partly responsible for the turnaround in Jacksonville.

He is partly responsible for the shit show that the Reese regime became.

But everything is always black and white with some.

Outside of any of that I think Coughlin had a long great run and the team needed a new voice & face in the locker room.
Turns out not Macadoo's but a new face nonetheless
The only weakness Jax D has  
Coach Red Beaulieu : 9/16/2018 7:32 pm : link
Is OBJ and a SB home run TD.
If Mara had done what he should have in 2015.....  
Red Dog : 9/16/2018 7:34 pm : link
It would be the GIANTS with Doug Marrone as head coach and Tom Coughlin running the football operations, not Jax.
remember they had that beast in there the 1st half

NE only had to stop Yeldon

My take on the TC thing  
Joey in VA : 9/16/2018 8:05 pm : link
Is that he wanted to build a team one way and despite all the "He signed off of everything we did" crap from Mara, Reese and Ross had totally different views on personnel. Once Ross became the Head Scout and Reese was GM and Gettleman was gone, it was TC vs. Reese and Ross and you saw what happened. Go listen to Dave G's intro press conference, he talks about Coughlin's influence and wanting big players, and how diametrically opposed he is to Reese in philosophy. Reese did the whole basketball on grass, I want to be the Seahawks things, but we didn't have that team speed OR Russell Wilson who made it all work. So we went small and fast and drafted David Wilson, Odell, Sterling, Engram and ignored the bigger player thing. Aside from Odell none of those guys are game changers or difference makers so far because it was a half of a team philosophy.

TC wants size everywhere, he always has and we were drafting little guys and asking an inconsistent QB w/ an inconsistent OL to be "basketball on grass". Think back to our SB teams, Burress 6-6, Toomer 6-3, Shockey 6-5, Boss 6-7, Jacobs 6-4, Ballard 6-6, and even the 6-1 Hakeem Nicks was a big physical presence on the outside. Once we lost that, this team went into the tank and we have yet to recover. So Dave G goes out and gets a 233 lb HB, a 6-3 3rd WR, brings in bigs in Simonson and Shepard and Solder and Carter and Hill and the list goes on. He's changing the fundamental makeup from a little fast break group that Reese wanted to an actual physical team that he wants. It's going to take time, it's starting now and it's going to be up and down until DG's philosophy is fully in place. Right now this team is busted, but there is enough talent to at least be ok week to week until he gets this where he wants it.

has no pass rush. Zero. Well, at least without resorting to exotic packages.

And that Jacksonville oline really gave Bortles a beautiful, clean pocket.

Jax was an incredible 10 for 14 on third down. You aren’t losing many games with that %.

There's never been a game in the history of the NFL where neither team made a mistake.

They should have drafyed SB, his TD run jacked up the D to play suffocating absolute shut down Bortlesville. I'm banking on an AP or Beastmode affect from the kid.

With all of the 'what could have been' scenarios, I like this one best. Also would like to add that Gettleman/Coughlin may have worked out pretty well too.

With that being said, I do like what we've been seeing with the new regime so far. Let's judge them on their own merits.
This team needs OL  
The 12th Man : 9/17/2018 12:21 am : link
Trade for one, pick one up off the waiver wire whatever, there are plays to be made all over the field Eli just does not have the time. It is sad really. If we could figure out how to pick simple stunts we are winning the 1st 2 games. I mean they were not showing them anything you do not see in high school. If they can not do it next man up.
Jax and yes Blake Bortles  
bc4life : 9/17/2018 12:22 am : link
looked very good today
re: big physical presence

I'd love to see present skill position players with that OLine.

Starts up front with the OLine and and it all begins with running the ball.
