Jags Vs Panthers Reactions

[duvaldude08]

I am fustrated beyond belief with these idiots named Del rio and Dirk. Coaching and play calling is the issue. You call passing plays while there is a damn Mosoon outside and nobody can see a thing, then when it clears up you run the ball? Not to mention we kept throwing the ball to mike thomas. dont you think the other team is going to catch on? And why draft cecil shorts as a WR and not throw the ball to him! Im convinced......its not the players, is the staff 100%! Yes we need a #1 WR, but the coaching staff have no idea what they are doing. I am so tempted to sell my ticket for Sunday. I am just depressed at this point.

On the "brighter side", Sunshine did great yesterday. That pass through the rain to Thomas kind of gave me chills. Thats the kind of big plays we need. And Mojo is on track. Sunshine keep dropping the ball, but its being said that the offense was not snapping the ball when he told them too. Gabbert is QUICK, and our offensive is slow. They are used to Garrad. Gabbert gets the ball out fast.

I think the dropped snaps were mostly due to the weather conditions. I like what I saw from Gabbert. Only thing is I was surprised Lewis wasn't involved more.

Gabbert will be alright... more growing pains to come but  he looks good.

That surprised me to. They acted as if Lewis was not on the field. I dont understand our play calling one bit. I am beyond frustrated at this point. EVen if we won, it was still a terriable game for the most part. Gabbert and mojo were my only highlights.

My only thinking with Lewis is maybe they were keeping him in to block on most passing plays. I didnt notice during the game but it's hard to tell on TV sometimes.

That's what was happening. The O-Line hasn't been great, but actually hasn't been horrible either. I completely agree on the play-calling. I usually don't have as much of a problem as most people with Dirk, but I can't understand the second half. I realize it's the kid's first start, but you have to throw it a little bit.

Defense will be giving up late TD's all year if that's how the offensive game plan is going to be. Why draft a QB  only to have him hand the ball off. McClown and Tractor man can do that. I thought the defense played well but once again on the field way too much b/c the offense can't sustain drives. They HAVE got to come up with some better offensive plays. I'm not saying air it out, but maybe passing on first down for a change. MJD wont last the whole season at this rate we are going. This will be a long and frustrating season. I do like BG though has all the tools, just need some talent and better coaching around him!!!!

Yeah the Defense are killing them selfs. Its nice they have moved up to number four in the league, but they are usually burnt out by the 4th Q. The offensive game play has to change. I wonder how many times they are going to say "were a run the ball first" team before they realize how stupid they sound.

Lewis was kept in to block on one of the plays that resulted in a sack, I noticed that (the sack wasn't Lewis' fault). 

It was frustrating to watch the Panthers' winning drive that consisted entirely of 10- to 15- yard passes to TEs, knowing we have two TEs who are perfectly capable of getting open.

I also don't have as much of a problem with our playcalling most of the time but yesterday was irritating.  Running a draw on 3rd and 11 from just outside Scobee range, basically giving up on a series when we held on 1st down, etc.

Gabbart looked great, all things considered.

Between the monsoon and the obvious nerves involved with a 21 year old making his first NFL start, I liked what I saw overall.

Play-calling continues to verge on terrible though (how many times can you run the ball on 3rd and 11 before defenses catch on), penalties continue to be an issue, our recievers are still dropping good passes, and JDR is running out of excuses.

The season is still very young though, and considering the playing conditions, I'm just VERY happy that nobody was seriously hurt out there Sunday.

I believe the footballs were wet or very damp for the entire 2nd half.  The rain had stopped but the field was saturated.  The Jags offense is definitely way below average now but the conservative play calling had more to do with wet footballs than anything else.  Our defense was very good and may statistically be in the top 3 today.  The weather Sunday at Everbank will be great.  Can't wait!

Me either!  I get to come down from Virginia for this one.

You guys do realize were are playing the SAINTS right? Two TDs in 3 games and BGs TD was a little lucky with the Panthers playing prevent defense in what looked a Tropical Storm. I wouldnt get to excited about this one. Hopefully Brees will be pulled by the start of the 2nd qtr b/c after the SAINTS have a lead > 10 points the game is over and that would be the case even if we still had DG. I just hope I am not sitting next to any SAINTS fans, just getting tired of the opposing team fans having alot to cheer about in our stadium.

Win or lose, the Saints are a VERY high scoring team. Even when they lose, they score ATLEAST 30 points.  There is no way we can keep up with them offensively.

Correction: Jags D is #4 at 280 yds allowed per game.  Jags O is #28 at 261 yds gained per game.
