Jacksonville Jaguars vs Minesota Vikings

[copperfiend]

The Vikings are just as bad as the Jags and we couldn't beat them

Alot can change from year to year in the NFL. We don't really know what the Vikings are.

Ok we will see, this team is not very good. I'll be happy to eat my words. The Vikings are just as bad as the Jags and we couldn't beat them. 20 sec left and you still lose, not the sign of a good team. Too many injuries and not enough depth yet again. Many of you may be going off the two early preseason wins, but the Ravens game should have brought you back to earth. This will be another painful year.

DD stop with the we could be foolishness!!

I know right, they were down right terriable. Seriously heres the deal Keith none of us knows whats going to happen this season, Including yourself! The nfl is unpredictiable and ever changing. Teams rise from the very bottom to the very top every single season. Also, you are basing your judgements off one game. Yes our defesne screwed up at the end. SO What!!! Elite teams lay eggs all the time. The Ravens laid an egg in Jacksonville and Seattle last season, but still made to the AFC chamionships. One game does not determine an entire season for any team. But if you would like to keep spewing your negative predictions as you do ever year, be my guest.

1-0 against the 2012 Jags, that we know.

Not being negative  DD just because I dont agree with other people's assements. I will say this BG, Blackmon, and Monroe held his own vs Jared Allen. Those are certainly some positives to take away from this game. Jags really needed to win this game.

No doubt. But I think the real test will be how they react to the lost. I would love for them to play with a chip on their shoulder. Given the injury issues on the offense sunday, they still made it through and that shows me they want to win. The defense came up short and put us in a terrible situation. This is a young team that is coming off a horrific year for the franchise and I don't think they were ready for that type of pressure. 

I agree with Jaguars.com assessment of the season. Before it started , the Oman said that the offense would have hiccups and misfires at first, but as the season progresses things will start to really come together. That's the only thing we can hope/wish/expect at this point. If you look at murlakey's first year in buffalo (which I posted their wins in the other thread), they start off slow. They won couple by a few points, and lost quite a few. Then all of a sudden, it happened. Their last 5-6 wins, they were completeing blowing out the other teams opponent. They were only 9-7, but they games they won, the kicked serious ass. If you look at it, the only weapon they had was lee Evans and I believe they had some QB issues back then also. If they can do that, I know we can do 10 times better. Compared to that team, we are loaded on both sides of the ball. I was impressed by our ability to spread the ball around. I don't recall us doing that much under del Rio. I also love the different looks that this offense gives. Honestly it confuses me watching them because its so much going on. Seems like we lost a little momentum once we started all the shifting on the O-line started because of the injuiries. But I see alot of good things happening.

I'm finally off my football doldrums from that heartbreaking loss. We got of shake it off, and find a way to beat Houston. I was talking to my friend, something that hardly no one is talking about was that soft prevent defensive the Jags were in during Minny's game tying long field goal. Mel, why not play a regular 4-3 with some pressure, instead of that soft umbrella junk? I digress, we better win vs the Texans or playoff contention will be a tall order. Before you any of you negative Nancies go on and say 'we don't have a chance vs the Texans" remember, it's a division game where both teams know each other very well, and weird things can happen.

Mularkey stated that the defense has not been playing many difficut coverages because they were trying to find something that the back ups could play well under.. Well its not working. Were going have to go for the gusto and hope for the best.
