You actually believe that, don't you?

What do you think he's frustrated about exactly?

I read it. He's being polite. Watch the all-22. Tyrod often doesn't even look Watkins or Clay's way. He's indecisive with the ball. He only feels comfortable throwing to players facing him standing still. He doesn't understand that if Sammy is one on one he's actually open.

He should have spoke up sooner. It's hard to watch. This world class athlete at QB is simply not capable of managing an offense and misuses our top WR and TE as if it were te gameplan.

Infinitely? If passer rating is so important why do Brian Hoyer and Sam Bradford have a higher passer rating than Ben Roethlisberger? If passer rating is so important why are 6 of the top 10 passer rating QB's going to miss the playoffs this year?

Arguments can be made that this is the best OL we've had since the drought began. It could be the very well be the best run blocking team in the league. For pass blocking...let's just say a lot the sacks stem from questionable decisions by #5.

The idea that we're only a great running team because of Taylor is lunacy. McCoy and the offensive line are tremendous and the strength of out team.

Every team battles with injuries. Lack of contingency plan at Safety proved to be costly. Meeks and Duke Williams shouldn't have made it out of mini camp. I think the only valid injury excuse is that we got no production out of our top two picks due to injury, and even that is debatable since many knew Shaq would miss time. I also think L. Alexander's production negates the excuse because there was no way in hell a healthy S. Lawson was going to produce that well.

Deflecting? You mean how you ignored my post where I went down line by line and called you out?

You really nailed it on the head with this one. With Rex Ryan, it's a different situation than most because he completely hedged his bets on having a playoff team with a championship caliber defense. He would reiterate it even in the middle of these crappy seasons. It's beyond embarrassing, and the fact that he clearly didn't put in the necessary effort to back up his claims means he needs to go. If I owned a business and promised my client that I could get the job done in 2 weeks, but it took me 4 weeks, I'd like to think they'd be upset. If they retained me for a second project and I said, "I'm extremely sorry about the delay last time, it was a fluke and won't happen again, I'll get this project done for you in 1 week" but still took 4 weeks, you better bet they're moving on. You can't over promise and under deliver. It's just unacceptable. And I know every coach talks about winning championships, but man...Rex takes it to a whole different level. The guy wrote checks he couldn't cash time and time again.

I would argue that wins is the fundamental stat...settle down Francis.

1. You somehow found a way to break down the simplest post and run a muck with assumptions. 2. Please explain where this beautiful offensive attack was while trailling or tied late in the game 5 or 6 times this year? 3. How many times do you need to be told it's a passing league before you understand that without a passing threat, and down more than 7 points, you've lost the game? 4. The QB contain argument is silly. Lesean McCoy is running like crazy, as is Gillislee, and I think it has more to do with run blocking scheme and the fact that McCoy is HOF a HOF level talent 5. I DON'T SIMPLY WANT MORE PASSING YARDS ... I'm sick of reading this like I'm some buffoon who holds up the Monday morning paper and highlights the passing yards and crumples it up if we have less than 300. To be the 32nd ranked passing offense that scores does not indicate to me that we're a well balanced team that can attack teams through the air with the game on the line. It's deflating when you have must win games and your QB throws for less than 200 yards. Game plan? Inability to read the defense? No hot-routes or audibles? Can't lead a receiver? Can't find the Tight End? I don't even care anymore which it is, but it's a combination of all of them and it's the reason we're 7-7 with all our wins coming against terrible teams. and 6. We're not making the playoffs. Looks like offensive TD's is not solely an indicator for success in the NFL. Maybe we hung 40+ on the 49ers, rang in 30+ on the Browns and the Cardinals, but when the game mattered most, where was the offense?

This thread is ridiculous. We have a strong running game. Insinuating anything else about the offense is crazy.

That's nice and all, but retaining Rex will mean extending the drought another season. What are your priorities?

Unreal that someone could believe that will ever happen.

Is that right? You're never in a good spot when you need the Jaguars to beat the Titans on the road with Doug Marrone as the head coach.

Pretty much this. He's slow for sure, but he gets a pass. Given our team needs, I'm not sure this was the pick we needed, and it certainly didn't help us this season. We really could have used an impact player in the 1st round of the draft.

You should be banned with no chance for appeal.

What's your point? It's somehow not a dysfunctional mess? Does any of this change our record for last 17 years? Is Russ not at the top of this dysfunction? I'm really curious how all of your notes defend Russ's role as President of the team. I could just as easily point out numerous occasions where he has stated that HIS main priority and goal for the organization is to win a superbowl. The team hasn't even sniffed the playoffs in nearly 10 years of his semi autonomy. Would we really be any worse off without him, really?

I also couldn't believe this. Look at how many cities have it: https://www.uber.com/cities

Great, now I'm depressed.

February 1st, 1997:

After watching that video...I've never felt more childish for caring about a football team as much as well seemingly do. I calmly closed the browser tab and stared at my screen and just whispered "who cares...?" as I sat still in the self realization that I just watched, with legitimate interest, a handful of grown men talk circles about nothing. It's really pathetic and not healthy for any of us to get into this like we do. It's honestly a damn soap opera for men and I'd be very hypocritical if I didn't point that out. I want a new coach, new players, new gm, new president, etc. etc. but I don't want to be as interested in the process anymore. It's not healthy that I know as much about Russ Brandon as I do. Do you think most fans at the Stadium could even pick Russ Brandon out of a pack of 10 men wearing suits outside of Napolis? I'm ranting, but I think I'm slowly going to slide into the realm of the "casual fan"...

Don't care. Not watching the game. The second they announced Tyrod was starting the most I've thought about the game was to type this post.
