YoloinOhio Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 But Jaguars coach Doug Marrone said sending a message was the last thing on his mind, since the Jaguars were dealing with some injuries, and he stuck straight to his conversion chart. “We had a lot of guys banged up for the PAT/field goal [team], and on the chart it just said 19 [points],” Marrone said, via Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com. “On the chart it says go for two. I’m one of those guys, I never try to take anything for granted in an NFL game. Try to keep working those mechanics and doing it, so just went for two. . . . “We’re not good enough to send a message right now.” Of course, not everyone in his locker room seemed to get that memo. Quarterback Blake Bortles joked “I just work here,” and defensive tackle Malik Jackson said it was definitely personal. “He doesn’t like those guys,” Jackson said. “I don’t know what they did to him, but he doesn’t like them.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) The guys a good coach. His teams never get blown out. Our defenses were better with him and he’s an offensive guy. He probably just didn’t want to be told to play EJ anymore. I don’t know why people are mad at him. Be mad at the idiot that gave him the opt out.

1st Ammendment NoMas Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 So what. Maybe he wanted to work on the 2pt conversions. Maybe he was running up the score. That's fine. There are tie-breakers based on point difference that can come back to haunt a team. You never know how a season will play out. Take what you can get every week. It's the opponents job to stop you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I doubt that was what he was going for there since the risk is greater to get zero points when going for two.

87168 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Hey, at least they had the opportunity to go for a 2pt conversion. Cool. Ruthless. People care more about one's ability to be liked, rather than coaching a winning team. Marrone and Hackett are doing much better than our staff, even with a QB that most ridicule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Wagon Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Seems pretty obvious IMO the Jets promised him the job to get him to opt out then got cold feet when we threatened to file tampering charges. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatdrought Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Don’t understand how a losing team gets the right to ask for mercy. I think running up the score is great. This is a mans game and if I can take a chance to send a message (especially coming off a disastrous loss last week) I’m gonna do it. I wouldn’t like it if it happened against the bills, but I would blame the bills for being terrible, not the team that isn’t. Also, Manish Meta is a tool. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be mad at the idiot that gave him the opt out. On the other hand, he had two great DC’s (Pettine and Schwartz) and a much more talented roster to work with. The “didn’t want to be told to play EJ” thing is 110% myth. All that said, I’ve forgiven Marrone for how he left my teams (Syracuse and Bills) and hold no ill will.

golfball323 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I don't care for Marrone but loved the move. "F 'em, let's beat them by as many as possible" is a great mentality in sports. I don't care if it was petty or not. When I was in high school I had a baseball coach that absolutely despised the mercy rule that we were often subjected to (we were on the wrong side, mind you). There is nothing wrong with running up the score on a team if you're good enough to do it. If you don't like it, do something about it. The Jets should have sent Adams over the line of scrimmage before the ball was hiked to take out Bortles. THAT would have been an appropriate response, instead they whined like babies afterwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you want to take out Bortles? Usually he is the only reason the opponent is still in the game, if your getting beaten by a Blake Bortles offence, you should be more worried and angry at your defence....
