    Defence looks as bad as it did in the Superbowl ðŸ™


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,905 ✭✭✭TOss Sweep


    Shows how bad the Texans really were. If our offense doesn't socre soon this will be a murdering


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,905 ✭✭✭TOss Sweep


    Did Flowers come back out yet?

    OL under huge pressure.
    Tom had plenty of time last week to pick out some targets.
    Without Cooks, they have no fear that we’ll stretch the field.
    Awesome so far from the Jags D.

    Worst defense to be playing against without options


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,905 ✭✭✭TOss Sweep


    Type of day to try stand in there and find the open man or find a weakness


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,905 ✭✭✭TOss Sweep


    This drive looking fairly decent so far.

    It was a good drive, but just not enough.
    Really good D at the end.
    Edelman is a big loss in games like this. Gronk drawing double coverage opens it up big time for Edelman.

    I think the arrogance of Bill and co not to go and get another big WR is killing us. We have nothing to open up the Jags in anyway. They know the only strength we have is to hit them underneath but that works for the Jags because type of plays that are going to be hard to score with in the Redzone. They have our number right now.

    Seems like we are happy enough to take a couple of losses until Edelman comes back.

    With the amount of WRs that have come and gone, Bill knows we are short.
    We won’t face a D like the Jags most games this year, so we’ll survive. But this game is like the AFC game. The Jags were the better team that day, and they are on top again.

    If we have any ambition in the playoffs we will. Even with Edelman back we wont stretch the field. We need to go and get another outside guy and stretch the field. Our offense is sh1t right now. It will be average with Edelman in there. We have Devlin or a TE on the outside for fook sake on some drives. We have seen how bad those plays have been. We keep Brady and we give him nothing to throw to. Makes sense.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,438 ✭✭✭j8wk2feszrnpao


    Devin McCourty. Got paid due to Revis, and to a lesser extent Browner. Doesn’t make any plays, always seems to be late.

    Devlin lining up out wide was not a good look.
    Prob see Slater at some point if that’s how we are going to set up.

    The ease at which Jacksonville are marching down the field is startling.

    200 yards given to Bortles in the air, and he’s had it easy in the pocket.
    This is why I was hoping we’d trade up in the draft for defensive talent. It’s grim stuff.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,905 ✭✭✭TOss Sweep


    Rowe has been awful


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,599 ✭✭✭ScrubsfanChris


    I mean, this defense is pathetic. Blown coverages and missed tackles everywhere.

    He’s just being picked on.
    Thought he had a chance to be good when he first came on the scene. But no improvement at all. Beaten in every way possible.
    No pressure. No coverage. Nothing.

    Eric Rowe ? He was with the eagles and in one of his first games for the team he was up against megatron and got roasted without oil.

    Yeah we have put up with his nonsense for 3 seasons now and somehow he keeps hold of his roster spot.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,438 ✭✭✭j8wk2feszrnpao


    When you think back to 2014. Vince, Jones, Hightower, Collins, Revis, Browner, and the emergence of Butler. The reduction in talent has been evident in that time. Not a pro bowl contender now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,905 ✭✭✭TOss Sweep


    Oh goody our first play is a pass out wide to Devlin hahahahaha can't make this **** up

    Better than Rowe have been killed by Megatron.
    I just meant as a 3rd choice, not a starter.

    Was kinda hoping the Jags would get a TD there just to see that 28-3 score :pac:

    I don't think this games reveals a whole pile tbh, other than what we knew already. We've historically struggled in that kind of heat, and games will never be that warm come January. And we've also been prone to an early humbling in recent years. I think we'll do very well this season to even make the AFC game, but it just shows the crazy high expectations we have of a very mediocre squad.

    Bill & Tom will get us double digit wins, but if we're going to compete with the likes of the Rams and Chiefs we need a better squad. Hopefully we can just make today competitive.

    He had 4 catches last week. 3 targets so far today..... Waste of down and another drive done.
    Unlikely Gordon falls to us, but a trade has to be made.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,905 ✭✭✭TOss Sweep


    Chung and Flowers out. Niiice


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,438 ✭✭✭j8wk2feszrnpao


    Good play by Gilmore.
    Let’s not target Devlin please.
