The Jacksonville Jaguars

[tufsu1]

I agree that the home schedule looks soft, but the road schedule sure doesn't.

The 2014 schedule looks like the 2014 schedule. I bet the Colt fans thought the Rams game looked soft or easy. How did that turn out? Also the Jaguars play or have played poorly at home for a while now. No one has any idea what shape these teams or the Jags will be in when they meet.

Kubiak, Chudzinski were hurt by comparisons to Gus Bradley

Posted by Michael David Smith on December 31, 2013, 10:56 AM EST

Midway through the season, the Jaguars looked like the worst team in the NFL, and one of the worst teams in NFL history. But the Jaguars played hard over the second half of the season and even had a three-game winning streak at one point, with two wins over the Texans bookending a win over the Browns.

Jaguars coach Gus Bradley got a lot of credit for keeping his team playing hard late in a lost season, but Bradley's strong coaching down the stretch may have also contributed to the Texans firing Gary Kubiak and the Browns firing Rob Chudzinski.

Kubiak was fired the day after the second loss to Jacksonville, and Texans owner Bob McNair made clear that he thought Bradley had out-coached Kubiak.

"We've got a lot better talent than Jacksonville," McNair said. "To have them beat us twice, that's to their credit. They played harder, they played smarter, and that's not acceptable to us to have some team beat us on that basis."

And Jay Glazer of FOX Sports reported that the Browns' front office compared its own situation to Jacksonville's and was displeased with the way the Browns failed to improve over the second half of the season, the way Jacksonville did.

"They compared themselves, believe it or not, to the job Gus Bradley's done in Jacksonville," Glazer said of the Browns. "They said, 'Is their personnel better than ours? No, it's not. Yet they improved and got better as the year went on.'"

Ordinarily, you wouldn't think a coach of a 4-12 team had done a great job. But Bradley took over a lousy team and had them playing competitive football late in the season. When Kubiak and Chudzinski's teams weren't playing as well as Bradley's team, that cost Kubiak and Chudzinski their jobs.

^^^^ I discussed this with a co-worker last week after watching a video on NBCsports. That is why Im so hype about our future. We had the worse roster in the NFL, full of rookies and inexperienced footballs players, and made a complete turn around the second half of the season. A good coach can take an average player and make them look great, and I feel like thats the ability Gus Bradley has.

That's a good read there. Thanks for posting it.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are going to take the NFL by storm once a hall of fame quarterback is taken this year. A dynasty will be born and will continue throughout the decade and beyond with Lombardi Trophies piling up in Jacksonville. They will prove that they are the team to beat. #dynasty #thegoldstandardofthenfl

^^^Gotta love the passion!

Does anyone thinks that Tre Mason (Junior RB for Auburn) is gonna stay another year, or come to the NFL? Man, that dude is a beast! No disrespect to Mojo, but I wouldn't mind seeing him in a Jags uni.

I love MJD but Im ready to move on. Weve press reset on the franchise and its time for us to have a new identity, and develop new stars. Even if we resign MJD, Im hoping we draft his replacement as well. I would love for Blackmon to be the face of the franchise, but even if he got his issues together he is just kinda.... I dont know. He doesnt speak or interview very well. And his mouth is always crook-ed for some reason haha

He probably goes now. His value will probably not go up by staying, especially as many carries as he gets in that offense. He's a nice player but I would not take a back before round three or four because this draft is loaded with good backs. Lache Seastrunk from Baylor, Kadeem Carey from Arizone are both really good. Devonte Freeman might come out. You can get value at that position.
