  • Week 8 Other Games Thread

    Jaguars getting destroyed in Nashville. I think we can officially put to bed the narrative that the Packers beat a good team week 1. One of the 3 or 4 worst teams in football. At least those other teams play hard. Jags look listless. Gus Bradley may not have a job tomorrow.

    The Jaguars uniforms were so ugly they had no chance of winning.

      Jacksonville vs. Tennessee. A perfect matchup for Thursday night football. It's the NFL equivalent of Colorado Rockies at San Diego: thank god for the 10:30 pm Eastern start time.

        The Jags are playing a hell of lot worse than they did in week 1. That team is a mess.

          The Jags are now 0-10 when Bortles throws for over 300 yards in his career. What a bizarre stat.

            Is is really? I remember a stat that teams have a better record when they have a 100 yard rusher than when they have a 300 yard passer. That was a while ago and probably isn't true anymore, but I bet it is still a meaningful thing to look at.

            The truth is the Jags haven't been a winning franchise in some time, and Bortles 'benefits' from garbage time stats. PFT published his career numbers by quarter, and they tell a story

            Code:
            First quarter: 1,598 yards, 4 touchdowns
            Second quarter: 2,356 yards, 15 touchdowns
            Third quarter: 1,912 yards, 13 touchdowns
            Fourth quarter: 3,364 yards 26 touchdowns

            Imagine for a moment a world without hypothetical situations...

              They finally fired their OC. Perhaps they should have fired their GM for assembling this mess with all those high picks...

                When PFT published those, I wondered how they compared to the average, but no one posted those.
                No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

                  Cleveland close to becoming a City of Champions (Cavs, maybe Indians). But the Browns still need some help.


                  Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                      Saints are pushing the Sea Hags pretty hard.

                      Newton had his leg rolled pretty good.

                        And Pete Carroll is still a dick.
                        One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

                          Amari Cooper is a monster. Damn.... Derek Carr is top tier too.

                            Saints are toughest in the NFL at home.
