The Jacksonville Jaguars

This is a good read on the Jaguars approach to developing a presence in Britain:

Not a good start... gashed and picked apart for 14 already

[BridgeTroll]

Ugh... epically bad football

[Tacachale]

Groan.

Honest question... Who's looking good for the top five picks of the draft this year?

It's expected. You guys didn't seriously go into this season thinking the Jags would really compete for a playoff spot did you? Going .500 is more realistic for where they're at, at this point.

Gus has to go. The penalties. The time management. The lack of discipline. There's no universe where the roster that we have built on both sides of the ball should be losing this badly to average teams, year after year. Nice guy, I get it, but we don't need a cool uncle. We need an NFL caliber head coach.

Pretty sure Shad Khan will know what to do.  Problem is, where can we get a head coach, defensive coordinator, and offensive coordinator with proven winning philosophies to join this franchise?  Our team is no fun to watch, on either side of the ball. Our players are good enough to win, but the systems they are in are poor.

Fun Stat:

Of the 170 head coaches in NFL history who have coached at least 50 games, Gus Bradley is 169th in winning percentage.

I was expecting .500 or better. Anything else and Gus can pack his stuff.

In the AFC South, there's not much different between going .500 and making the playoffs.....

Weirder things have happened.

Also, this game further solidified Jared Odrick as my personal favorite Jag.

Doug Marrone is the assistant head coach and was the head coach in Buffalo for two years.He is a logical choice to replace mid-season. Give him a shot. If he fails too, there are assistants on every winning team looking for their shot to be a head coach.

And money talks. When Parcells went to New England, they were the laughingstock of the league. Same with Holmgren in Seattle. But Khan would have to open up his wallet.

Ball at SD 44, no timeouts but 9 seconds. Plenty of time to throw a quick out to the sideline get back in FG range and give Meyers a shot or throw a hail mary. If the pass is incomplete, you throw a hail mary. No brainer, right?

We throw a bubble screen.

I cannot make this up.We throw a bubble screen. Is Olsen just trolling us at this point?

That play to me, was rock bottom of Bradley's tenure. It was the team giving up. It was inexcusable.

The biggest issue that has happened with this administration is that losing has become acceptable. They kept Bradley after last season when no other franchise would have done that. You can call it patience, I call it indifference to losing.

They have talked a lot about building a culture. They have. But it is a loser culture.

They have brought in a lot of players (TJ Yeldon, Marqise Lee, Rashad Greene, Michael Bennett, Sheldon Day, Telvin Smith, Aaron Colvin among them) from colleges where losing even one game in a season is considered unacceptable. I wish someone in the local media would ask one of them what it is like to come from that environment to one here where you have a coach that talks about how positive things were despite losing.
