Meant to ask you about this. The Redskins haven't been that dominant in a game in my lifetime, and they aren't any good this year. What the frick is up with the Jags?
Life happened to the Jags Sunday.
They just have an awful OL. I mean awful. Joeckel should be good and one day he will be but I think Matthews was the better of the pair at A&M and Joeckel is still learning. We lost Pasztor and we traded Eugene Monroe last year. The OL is just an unmitigated disaster. It's not like that's unknown either it's just bad timing and yet another example of how horrible Gene Smith was in JAX. Meester, our only worth a shite OL really, retired last year and since then we can't even get back to bad OL status. The centers battled between each other this preseason and the frickers struggled even with shot gun snaps.
People can blame Henne, people can shite on Gerhart, but the fact is neither has blocking worth a silly frick. Caldwell got some skill guys in the draft this year to run the game one day. Now he has to get the big guys on the LOS.
Sucks too because while the Jag defense isn't amazing it also isn't the worst. The offense is just that putrid. Yesterday the Jags didn't have a snap in Redskin territory until the 4th quarter. Without RGIII (blessing in disguise IYAM) and Jackson they still torched them. That's because the Jag offense is truly no threat.
Looks like 4-12 is our best bet. Redskins? Well, shite, I think yesterday we were worse than they were good but this will fill the team with confidence and if Cousins has time then who knows? May build them up. But I think Dallas will be better this year if they stick with the run. Eagles aren't half bad. Giants are half bad.

i didnt get to watch but listened to it on the radio and those guys were cracking me up...they couldnt believe it either...
The Jags have the potential to get better under Bradley but they need some definite fixes up front...its a glaring problem...Gabbert was shite but he had no time either...they really need to fix that line to have any shot at the DIV...
The Jags radio guys are kind of like the antithesis of Bama radio. Whereas the Bama guy is usually nutting himself every play and wondering how every play isn't a penalty on the other team our guys are constantly speaking like they're this guy
And you can see what I said to Crow but it's my belief that Bradley and Caldwell wanted to get the skill guys in there so we could develop them. He got Joeckel last year but the fact is he couldn't get all OL this draft. He had to build some excitement for the future and frankly the talent of Bortles may be why we had to get him. Not many guys like that out there. Give him some skill to practice with and then let us build an OL this year. Maybe trade some picks, Marcedes, idk, and save some cash up for an OL. Because EVERYTHING on this team will improve once they go from trainwreck to at least mediocre.
The poor defense fricking lives out there. It's almost like seeing Christmas morning when you actually see the offense out there.

If I was in charge of the Skins, I'd trade Griffin as soon as he got off the injury list. He's just not as good as Cousins. Unfortunately, our owner is a football moron who makes it a point to become personal friends with the star players. Such is life as a Skins fan.
Don't know what to tell you about the Jags. I hope for y'all's sake that they save Bortles for next year. They'll ruin him if they put him out there behind that line.

Nothing really to say about the Jags. This was never gonna be anything but another year to get a high draft pick. Gene Smith, Wayne Weaver, and Jack Del Rio truly fricked this franchise. I was hoping for 6-10, maybe even getting 7-9, but the fact is that we don't have the hosses that pretty much every NFL team has. We'll get some wins but this isn't the year and I think Caldwell and Bradley are being smart by holding on to Bortles and will probably continue to do so. Until Henne is broken in half.
I think the Skins have a chance here. If Cousins comes in all messiah-like it'll be hard for Snyder to ignore that.

I was worried that's where Falcons would be. Big win against NoLa.
Short week against TB this week. Must win for confidence as much as any other reason.

Bad news is that I am going to this one as well so the falcons might be fricked.
Also I dunno how the sun is gonna be involved in our new stadium but it was fricking hot yesterday. I'm burned everywhere and that was in Cincinnati. I missed the air conditioned dome all day long.

Replacing the dome is dumb.
Arthur wants a super bowl and the majority of ATL fans support an outdoor field.
Just seems like a major waste of cash flow to me

I feel like we should give them a TD or 4 to make it interesting. This is just kind of sad.

Devin Hester sucked BSD in Chicago at the WR position.
Now he looks like a badass!
Weapons galore on this team

Every time I watch Tampa play I feel bad. I don't like the Bucs. The Bucs can lick my sack. I love how we aren't the worst team in FL. But I will say this: having had it happen to me before NO ONE should have a team where Luke McCown is your starter.

Time for SJax.
Please
