All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
For those that thought the playcalling was too "conservative"...
Actually Sesame Street on Ice was more daring. Bert on a triple toe loop with a back flip. I always knew he was gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Running the ball is a good way to go if it works. Today, it wasn't good enough to rely on. 3.3 yards per carry. Running it on 3rd-and-11 was a bad decision.
That said, I still think we're better off than last season. MM & TC just need to find the right balance and mix.

we should have run willis more earlier, to spell travis and mix it up more, we should have passed perhaps 4 or 5 more times and run 4 or 5 times less.
all that being said, if moulds puts the ball on the carpet one less time than two (two fumbles in one game, ESPECIALLY in the red zone, is just un heard of for an average Wide reciever, let alone our top guy), of if we have one or two less penalties we win that game. Our D could have been stronger on that last drive too, but over all they kicked ass.
so we were in deep against a tough jags d, and fumbled the ball too many damn times.
if we can avoid putting the rock on the carpet we can win a lot of games.
thats how thw ravans won the sb, tough d consevative O! I like it! DO not give up we will get better!
I agree. Last year people were killing Gilbride (and rightfully so) for passing too much and not being conservative enough. Now we are too conservative. That old addage about not pleasing all of the people is certainly right. I like the direction of the offense. They tried and continued to try to establish the run. There were a few really bad runs that drove down the average as well, like that 7 yard loss on the reverse, but you have to try those things as well. As a matter of fact, I liked the reverse call. The Jacksonville defense was reacting to the ball so quickly that the only way to slow that down is a misdirection play. Their ends were rushing straight up the field at times and completely running around our tackles. The way to combat that is to run through the gap left from the rushing end which I think they did well at times. Also what may have been overlooked is the fact that the Jaguars have been one of the best defenses against the run for the last several years and we did OK against them.
IMO, after a loss you can sit back and sulk and point out all the negatives without pointing out any positives and act as if we will never win another game, or you can look at all the positives and forget all the negatives and still think we can make it to the superbowl, or, you can see both the positives and the negatives and hope they can continue with the positives and work on correcting some of the negatives. There seem to be a few in groups 1 and 3. I don't see anyone from group 2 as much as the people in group 1 would beg to differ.
