I could've sworn I saw Beathard complete a deep bomb to the 5 yard line that would've sealed the game.
I mean big picture yeah, none of us like Press. We're just saying the majority of the blame doesn't go to him for tonight, it goes to the defense letting Jake Browning have a near perfect game.
The offensive line never gave CJ time to throw, and he had open people he just didn't see. He's not a starting caliber QB, that's not Press' fault
The way you tend to word some of your posts, it seems like you're blaming solely Press and I think he's trying to point out the first that lies with other people as well, not necessarily trying to absolve him fwiw
Getting upset an offense scored 28 but not that a defense gave up 31 to a geek qb is something EDIT: Even worse! 34- 31 lol
It was a pathetic game and I’m going to criticize everything I didn’t like. The bad calls in the end bugged me just as much as Tyson Campbell whiffing repeatedly in coverage
Anyway, emotions are high after a night like tonight, is what it is. Move on and hope for the best and hope we can get healthy. Shit is what it is at this point. If the offense can get back healthy it was looking killer the last 3 weeks, have some faith we'll get back there
Yes. We tried ONE deep shot, it didn’t work, we coiled back into a ball. And then didn’t even do the short yardage stuff that was working.
We had 3 drives after Trevor went down. 1. Missed field goal, pretty sure Press didn't tell him to do that. 2. Made field goal. 3. Literally dialed up a deep bomb to potentially win the game - completed the pass, got called back. 3rd and 17 happened and he did not have time to throw near the sticks.
Have you heard anything about Little? Cause like, while Trevor is obviously the lifeblood of the team and most important...we do actually have a back-up QB at least.
Because one of these things is a pattern and one of these things is an abberation. Jags defense has ultimately done well enough most of this season for me to swallow a bad game. But those are the games I expect to see my offense step up. Winning franchises can play keep away with their backup when their main guy goes down to protect a fourth quarter lead. We’ve all seen that 100 times from teams that actually deserve to play on primetime and be held to certain expectations. The fact that we couldn’t pull off that adversity challenge when our playoff seeding depends on it, bugs me and makes me lose faith in us being an actual resilient contender. Mike Tomlins and pre-2022 Bill Belichick’s etc gut out this game. Hell, Doug guts out this game when he doesn’t give the wheel to Press. The defense got us in the hole, but considering we’re not the Lions and our defense is actually good usually, I’m more disappointed we didn’t dig ourselves back out - offense already owes the defense for sealing the AFC South and playoff berth last year. The offense was doing the same shit vs the Titans in that game. Even as our players clearly become better PLAYERS we’re still doing the same shit gameflow wise and it bugs me so much. I know we scored 31 points - plenty of offensive teams have been THAT GUY that scores 31 but does dumb shit in the end and loses. Let alone, we are usually not even a 31 point team lol. Lucky if we score that much.
oh god randall i just do not care enough to humor you. the offense was not the problem. be wrong about it if you want but allowing 34 points at home in primetime to a 27 year old practice squad hopper making his first start is just objectively far worse than the offense. Blame special teams. McManus missed what would've won us the game. Beathard got him in that position and McManus is the one that choked.
What’s the pattern here? Is the pattern our offense covering for a bad defense? Hint: no. The pattern is our offense is mostly disappointing and then we had one game where we had OFFENSE! YAY! But then got unlucky with injuries (happens to every NFL team ever, look at the Ravens the last several years) and subsequently only scored 3 points in two quarters, in a game we could’ve put away with a touchdown.
