In the 4th quarter the motion timing was bad, they didnt do much under center either where its easier to get them on a misdirection, or get a reverse going. it was a moral victory but the rabbit died in the last quarter i had zero point zero faith the Jags would win, except for the fumble recovery, but they couldn't capitalize Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 1 hour ago, YoloinOhio said: Same. I was impressed with the first half play (and attitude) they showed but I figured the fetal position play calling and punting was coming and it did. They really could have won that game, but coaches were scared, timid when it mattered After just giving up a TD, they had a minute left and TO's to take----and they kneeled twice to end the half... 1 hour ago, YoloinOhio said: Who the Pats did not want to bring back after 1000+ yards and 18 TDs last year and replaced with Gillislee. Did he even play yesterday? No stats in the box score. Anyway, I’m sure Blount wants a revenge game on the biggest stage. No, but you can search Warren Sharp on twitter. It’s a thread he posted today around 10am EST. I dont know why copied links from twitter shows up that way on some devices and not others. Out of curiosity what device are you viewing it on? Revenge for what---twice picking him out of other teams' garbage cans and getting him 2 SB rings?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 The Hackett first down runs could have at least been varied. Even if bortles had hung onto the ball on a read option for a few of those, it probably would have fooled the D enough for a 4-yard gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 BB eats predictable, gutless coaches. You have to keep the boot on the neck of BB all four quarters to beat him. Not sure how many years he's got to teach this lesson to the rest of the AFC, but apparently not enough yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristocrat Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 hopefully the eagles and their analytics guy in the ear of the staff can keep them dialed in. that eagles defense is stout against the run which is very important playing the pats. if their run game is going they will destroy you. if it's just the pass game you can be in the game. if the eagles just run all over em and burn that clock it's a game.

I watched the first half in awe of how much Hackett's playcalling and situational awareness had improved, then the second half wore on and I said to myself 'yep, that's the OC I remember.' Ole Hackett never let us down didn't he?.....amazeballs the Jags made it as far as they did - I will predict a rapid downfall for ole Dougie next season......Next Coach please. Go Bills!

transplantbillsfan Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Now contrast the Jags playcalling when they went up by multiple scores with the Eagles going up by multiple scores yesterday against the Vikes. I really, really, really hope Dennison was primarily responsible for the fact that the Bills passed the ball over 4% less than the entire NFL when up by more than one TD and almost 8% less than the 18 teams that ended up with a record between 7-9 and 11-5. I hope Dabol persuades McDermott to have at least a little more of a foot-to-the-throat mentality when we're leading. It'd be nice to finally wrack up a ton of garbage time yards and points when leading the way the Patriots always do and the way the Rams and Eagles did this year as opposed to getting a lead and just holding on for dear life. Unfortunately, I don't think this changes much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRHater69 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 That's what you get with bad coaching decisions. Just the opposite happened here in Marrone's first ever game ironically against the Patriots. The Bills had the lead going into the 4th, but back then Marrone and Hackett were trying to run a no-huddle offense and those idiots refused to come out of it and burn clock. That allowed the Patriots and Danny Amendola to take them apart on a game winning drive late. Dome things never change. I never forgot that, it was college level game management.

Big Turk Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 3 hours ago, TheFunPolice said: Foles is a backup but he also has a ton of playing experience and seems to really be clicking in that offense. Also, the vibe around the Eagles is amazing. Wentz is Foles' biggest cheerleader. Those guys are dialed in. Unlike the Jaguars, the Eagles have an innovative and top scoring offense to go with their D. Jacksonville has that yesterday and that game isn't even close. Like the Jaguars, the Eagles pressure with 4 and get there a lot. The Eagles are so deep on offense it's crazy. When it's time to pound the rock they have an amazing OL and Blount and Ajayi Whoa...lets slow down...Foles had a good game against the Vikings. However, This is the same QB that looked somewhere between abysmal and average the other games he played in this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They line up 8 or 9 in the box, and you run right at them on the outside, and lose yards. I know you can't predict how they will line up when you call the outside zone play, but there has to be a contingency plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLFan Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) Thanks for this thread. Bottom line: Marrone and Hacket. What happened in the second half was totally predictable. Edited January 22, 2018 by MDFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under 5 minutes I can understand, but even then they were only up 3. Why is it ridiculous though? What is the purpose of snapping it with 13 seconds left when you have a 10 point lead in the 4th?

Extremely overly critical IMO. Getting on the guy for snapping the ball with 8 seconds left on the play clock with over 13 minutes left in the 4th is extreme. Under 5 minutes up 3 I get. I think the guy's more germaine point is the utter predictability of the playcalling. And, I suspect if one performed a similar analysis of Dennisons in the Jags game, one might find similar predictability. But...as a practical point....your D is trying to shut down one of the most potent offenses in NFL history. If you go 3 and out, the maximum you can take off the clock is a bit less than 2 minutes. So why not give your D as much time as you can to suck wind and regroup? Maybe they come up with something...like the benefit of reverting to man coverage when your zone is being picked apart Edited January 23, 2018 by Hapless Bills Fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 7 hours ago, bobm said: Hacketts offense is so predictable. First down is always that exaggerated handoff from the shotgun with very little gain. He throws away first down every series. Truly hated his playcalling when he was in Buffalo and see that he hasn't changed at all. So happy he's gone. And yet they got the lead in the first half by NOT playing to that tendency. That play calling was brilliant. I guess Hackett's mind goes numb (or his balls shrivel up) when the pressue is on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Now Moment Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Hackett and the coaching staff was outcoached massively in the 4th quarter. Marrone looked stumped. The playcalling was atrocious in the 4th quarter for the Jags. Embarrassed for that staff. They just folded up. No creativity in the playcalling.
