OPENING DAY 9/11/2011

It was a great day with a lot of emotions running high. It's always nice to see a large crowd turn out for the games.The more Jag fans that come the better so we don't have to listen to the opposing teams dumb fans. Well anyway the Titan fans had little to scream about and went away quietly into the boiling hot sun.

Whew was it hot. At half time I went to the men's room and soaked my head under the facuet. Then I got the bright idea to fill my hat with water and then put it on. I did this several times. It worked! Ever since the hottest game ever, two years ago the Stadium people got wise and put out free water stations as well as some mist machines for the fans. One consession stand still ran out of water. Shame on you Outback.

Oh yeah the game! It's been a long time since I have seen the Jaguars open up with such a fast start. The defense is coming along pretty good. I sure love a good "D". I like the new linebacker Paul P. #51 he's a real plus. #27 Mathis is trying harder but the fans greeted him with mixed cheers and boos. You definitely could hear the boos. No matter what Del Rio says the fans don't like him anymore.

Luke did good but I was a little surprised that he didn't throw more passes. It's early so I will hold off on judgement of the O C Dirk. If you can run the ball do so, but if it's shot down you have to have a good and acurate passer and I think Luke will fit the bill.

Cograts to the team . Now let's go show the Jets how to play ball.

go Jags!

The view from my seat......AWESOME!

NEW ERA STARTS

Now with David Garrard gone a new era begins.  How long it lasts is the question. Will last for only one season and then Del Rio leaves? There's a  good chance that will happen.

The way I see the problem with the Jaguars is this. The problem wasn't so much Garrard as it was the coaches inability to create  plays that would utilize David's strengths  The coaches were not inventive enough to draw up plays that would make David a threat on every play. Instead they tried to make him fir into their standard playbook. I realize that this is not an easy thing to do and only a very good coaching staff could pull it off.

Remember when Mrs. Garrard told the coaches to let David play his game? They did for a couple of games and then went back to the old stuff even though it worked. They did the same thing with the defense. they played the 3 / 4 for a game or two and quit on that. Greg Williams who everyone thinks is a genius was here and if I remember right we beat the Colts with that defense and then the next game we lost so the experiment was over and so was Williams.

I called for LUKE last year in Aug. http://jag-wars.blogspot.com/2010/08/we-want-luke-click-on-link-jacksonville.html  He is a true pocket passer and very actuate
I think he will do well and because he is good with the quick pass and the deep ball we should have more success overall.

THIRD PRESEASON GAME

there wasn't much good to glean from a loss but, I do like some players that I think has potental. I like #40 on offense RB Harris. I hope they keep him but who knows. I see him as a Mike Thomas kind of guy who is PLAYER.
I am troubled with the lack of pass rush and pass defense. When are the "powers to be" wake up and see that still not dfend the passing game of a west coast type offense. Hasselback of Tenn will eat us alive if we don't find an answer.
We still need a QB, WR's and a pass rush. Nothing new here.
I have yet to see a WR for the Jags go get the ball. the rookie Sheets or what ever his name is need to get contacts maybe. The game should have ended with a TD on that pass from Gabbert.

One still has hope.

Oh by the way Mathis still stinks.

GO JAGS   BEAT THE RAMS

IF YOU LIVE IN JAX THIS SHOULD BE THE TEAM YOU SUPPORT....IF YOU LIKE FOOTBALL AND ONLY WATCH ON THE TV YOU ARE MISSING OUT.

OK LET'S PLAY BALL!

I'm happy that the lock out is over and the season can start. I really look forward to the games.
My eye sight has worsend because the dry MD went to wet MD, but I'm getting treatment and I would'nt miss a game even though I can't see much of what is happening.
So what is your excuse for not getting season tickers????

I am dissapointed in the folks here in JAX but more frustrated about the NFL NETWORK. NFL never even mentions the Jags unless is about not selling tickets. They have galked about the top QB piccks but not Blaine.

Poor Wayne he gets no respect...but I love the guy and trust the guy. BUY YOUR TICKETS SO THE SO CALLED FANS CAN SIT HOME AND WATCH US ALL THE WAY TO THE SUPER BOWL

please excuse any spelling errors .

A GUN SLINGER?

After watching this and other highlight video clips of our new QB I think that we have a "Gun Slinger".
Man he's not afraid to pull the trigger and I like that. Nothing ventured nothing gained.
