"Do you put in in #5's hands and give him a chance to score points?"

"It didn't happen in the AFC championship game, so I don't know if it's going to happen here."

The Jags have such a good defense, and yet somehow seem like one of the worse run teams in the league.
Bortles obsession has been well covered, giving a bad QB a huge extension and not bringing in a backup because it will shatter his confidence is criminal.
Big RB obsession, the Fournette pick was a terrible decision to begin with, now they traded a pick for Carlos Hyde's corpse. All so they can avoid playing Yeldon, who is probably a better all-around back than either.

Imagine this team with a good GM? A good GM, 100% doesn't sign Bortles to a big deal and drafts a replacement at #4 in 2017 instead of a RB. Top 2 QBs on the board then..... Mahomes and Watson. Now sure, the WR corps is bad, and the offensive coaches aren't very good, but imagine the Jags with Mahomes or Watson and an extra 10M in cap this year (21 next year)

La Mancha.
Cards v Niners is the biggest game of the day, yes? FO has AZ at 35% to get the #1 pick, SF at 21%. This game will be key in who drafts first.

Really hate the timeout there. Like a 2 yard penalty from there and it’s already 3rd and 9.

Watching the Jags play the Eagles is like watching the Jets play the Giants. I know I’m supposed to root for the NFC team but I hate them both so much.

That's the worst personal foul call in the history of the NFL. The defender pulled up in EVERY way he could. So fucking ridiculous.

A DUUUUUUUUVVVVAAAALL recorded call over the loudspeaker is, ironically, the most Duval thing ever.

Did Jacksonville accidentally burn the play-action bootleg page of their playbook or something?

Yeah. I have no idea how he looked like an MVP versus the Pats.
He really just isn't very good at all.
Even erratic QBs can have hot days throwing the ball. But when Bortles is bad, he is very bad. His final pass today was over the head of one receiver and short of the deeper target. A 10-yard pass on the run.

Jags are close to fucked.

They’ve got some winnable games coming up (two v Indy, one v Bills in the next four), but 3-5 is a tough hole.

Even a 6-2 finish doesn’t give you a great shot to get in.

Chris Meyers chuckling at Alex Collins Riverdance TD celebration "Nothing wrong with a Riverdance."

Perhaps the whitest thing ever said on TV.

TB got inside the 20... horrendous Jameis pick, throwing to a double covered WR he sailed it at about 15 feet, safety 10 yards behind the WR easily catches it

TB inside the 30, Jameis rolls out, pressure coming *but still several steps away), time to throw it away.... nope, hits a LB in the chest with no receiver anywhere near him.

He's not the worst QB in the league, but nobody in the leageu can match him for how bad his worst decisons/throw are.

Eli throws a brutal INT inside the Washington 10. Started the drive 9 for 9. Oof.

Scott Hanson: Tampa Bay defense, what are we doing? On the 10 yard line, can't even get a body on the running back.
