The Jacksonville Jaguars

I gotta give the guys some credit today though. But as usual, we found a way to lose. Fumbles, penalties... That's the one thing we're very good at.

Better effort today.

Mike Thomas, as usual, sucked. What happened to the way he played in '07/'08?

If we had any significant TALENT, we could have won this one. Also, when will the coaching staff/players learn....if you want a first down, throw PAST the sticks.

Ben, theres not much we can nick pick about this game. We stastically outplayed the Packers and had ourbest game of the season of the on both sides of the ball. The game boiled down to who was going to make the big mistake. The Packers got a special teams TD. That is the ONLY reason why they won. they came up with the big play. Gabbert finally eclipsed the 300 yard mark and cecil also had a career day. Just like they were saying during the game, The jags showed that this is professional football and no team just comes out to lose. We we down with a fight and didnt melt down as usual. The only plays I have a problem with is when we kept throwing to Blackmon on that crucial drive. There was no time for that. We needed to get the ball in cecils hands. And for those saying Gabbert is a whimp, he had a career day with a nagging injury. For the first time since week one, I am seeing the silver lining again. (for next season LOL)

Yeah, you guys did good. After all, it's not like you're the Dolphins!

I agree with 99% of what you say, but this is BS and everyone knows it. This game didn't come down to 1 play or 1 mistake or 1 TD. We had opportunity after opportunity after opportunity to win this thing. Were you watching the same game I watched? Coming out of the tunnel after halftime and going three-and-out 3 consecutive times is unacceptable at any level. Statistics don't mean jack if yards and first downs and big plays don't turn into TDs.

I know WHY you feel the way you feel....we played good ball and held our own against a very good team. But don't tell me for a second that the "ONLY" reason GB won was because of a special teams TD.

Did anyone catch the 60 Minutes special tonight on Mr. Khan? I missed it but I saw a friend on Facebook saying how they described the Jaguars as the least favorite team in the NFL and gave the image of Jacksonville being a really racist city.

^^^IMO it was a typical national media bashing of Jacksonville. Khan has every right to be offended by the racial comments, but I felt that he kinda hung Jax out to dry when he said "It wasn't Jacksonville's finest moment". A few jerks on twitter, or third rate news sources like Florida Slate.com says some racial remarks, and suddenly the entire city of Jax is a bunch of stars & bars flag bearing intolerant racist bumpkins. Because surely if Khan would have hypothetically bought the 49ers, or Texans, or Giants, everyone in effing CYBERSPACE would have been extremely tolerant of that situation in those cities! Who are these significant 'somebodys' in Jax that spoke against Khan? I know that someone will probably say that I'm too sensitive of Jax.

Here's a piece of it below, along with an extra about the locker room.

I hate to invoke the dreaded "T" word, but crazy how many goofy, utterly unsubstantiated Tebow trade rumors are flying around Jax (again) this weekend. Heard it being discussed at Five Guys, at the gas station, and in Starbucks this evening. The Tebow thing just won't die.

Another depressing Jags performance (better effort, yes, but a loss is a loss), but on the bright side, it made my year to see all the Gators in tears yesterday evening after the game

Cannot wait to see the Noles go ahead and sink the final nail in the coffin after Thanksgiving

thelakelander · October 28, 2012, 08:59:25 PM

Tebow? It's not like his presence has turned around the Jets. What makes anyone believe he would be a miracle worker for the Jags?

I-10east · October 28, 2012, 09:00:48 PM

^^^+1,000,000

Ya think?

Gabbert was good competent though. 27/49 300+yds and a TD. He was better than those stats if you ask me. If we get that production regularly, the wins will come.

Also, I liked passing on first down. So sick of seeing a run up the middle every friggin' time...

Maybe you didnt understand what I meant. The point I was making was the game overall was encouraging and not to nick pick. Im sure green bay fans are probably doing the same thing right now. I can point the negative on both teams today. Even good teams have three and outs, so that statement is kinda of.... doesnt make sense. Ive seen elite teams have multiple three out and outs. NO TEAM is ever flawless EVERY game. Three and outs will happen. If you feel that way, Green Bay fans are probably commiting suicide for the way their "elite" team performed today against the bottom feeders. There are no moral victories in the NFL,I get that. But in my book they played their hearts out and Im not gonna be a negative nancy about it. They finally played a FULL game from beginning to end.

I seen a young team who was is finally clicking and we finally seen the progress we wanted to see on offense that we hadnt seen all season. Were by no means a finished product and things are necessary "acceptable", but for the way this team has been playing all season, today was very encouraging. regardless how you slice it.

It is what it is. Unfortunately, we are the least favorite team in the NFL and their were very racist remarks made by the people of Jax (other places also, I know) about Khan. I know the media bashes us on a regular basis,sometimes for no reason, and I can agree with that. But some stuff is just the truth. And I hate to be honest, but Jax is not a very "diverse" and welcoming city. I grew up here and Im a miniority. Even as an adult, this place sickens me at times, and it seems people in Jax try to ignore it, but others can see it for what it is. (this is whole another subject though, back to football. )TO a degree, Jax has been getting left and right lately about our shortcomings, and sadly its the cold hard truth. ( weve also got blasted for declining the sexual orientation bill)

Also, Khan is a very honest person. I dont believe he tried to "throw us under the bus", he just gives honest answers. And thats pretty much about everything he has asked. I did not get a chance to watch it, but Im going to try so I get the full effect of what was said.

I still dont get what was depressing about their performance? They played better today than have since 2010. I know we want the W, but we have too many shortcomings to expect anything this year. I was anticpating a lost anyways, so I wasnt let down by not winning. Im just glad to see we didnt embarass ourselves.
