The pass rush is another matter. Hunt has disappeared, Sheard's effort can't be denied, but he's not elite, in speed or moves...and yeah, he gets held a lot. Autry is offering nothing. Sad to say, but we need Turay back in a hurry.

Isn't the lack of pass rush being affected by the fact that the other teams receivers are running down the field wide open. No need for the QB to hold the ball.

That certainly is part of it. But the idea behind this defensive scheme is to get the ball to come out quick. There was very little of that today.

part of the second half was, again, drops and mistakes.

Two key drops were killers, one for an INT when they are about to score and go up two scores, I believe, and another that just prevented a realistic chance for a first down deep in own territory. ANd they were EASY catches to make.

But yes, offense and play calling I just didn't get. You aren't making a 3rd and one up the middle against this D. Would have been a good spot for a sweep, or play action and roll out luck.

On the other hand, once again, no sacks, very little pressure on Luck.

The bad part was, again, no sacks, very little pressure on Bortles. They did get in there for a couple of key blocked passes and arm grabs on key downs.

really though I think this is the team we all expected at the beginning of the year. Around .500. Good or great offense but bad defense with no pass rush and a bad secondary.

Also.....come on Hooker, you have to make that tackle on Moncrief.

And Walker......you have to make that play on the fake punt.

We are probably a .500 team or slightly below that. We need to upgrade our WR’s, dline, and secondary. It’s not going to happen this year. We really don’t belong in the playoffs. We can beat bad teams but we can’t beat the best teams. Basically the same mediocrity that we had under Pagano. The difference is we have some promising young talent now.

But we need another good draft and maybe another few additions in free agency. The nice thing is we should be more attractive to free agents with lots of cash and a healthy Luck. There is no magic fix, gonna take some time.

One thing this offense needs to learn is to not take their foot off the pedal. They tried to run out the clock, and that isn’t enough against a good defense like the jags. Keep scoring keep going, don’t stop. Too many teams will come back on you. We probably should have lost this game but luckily the jags wanted to blow it just as much as we did.

It's different from last year. The game planning, the effort, the talent level, the energy.

It's not a perfect team. It's a FUN team.

Sure the arrow is pointing up. I think the coaching is light years better. But we need more playmakers before we are going to compete with KC, LA, and NE.
