Preseason is over and its time to put up or shut up. Preseason doesnt really mean alot and i take it with a grain of salt. In the past 3 years jax is 4-8 in the preseason. In 2009 they finished the season 7-9 and last season 8-8. And in both years they have had the chance to play in the post season but in the last two seasons they are 1-7 in the last qtr of the schedule. 2009 they were 7-5 before losing 4 straight and last season 8-5 before losing there last 3. Last 2 years when the games and season was on the line they faltered and played lifeless. Esp last season. Playoffs on the line and all they had to do was win one of there last three. They played like they didnt care and really flat. Now onto this up coming season. Once again they go 1-3 in preseason. Get blownout by NE. Get by Atlanta week 2 but have done that the 2 last preseasons. Blow an 8 pt lead with less than 3 minutes on the clock then lose in over time to third stringers and practice squad players in Buffalo. Then lose to the Rams last night on a night that Fred Taylor Retires. Greatest runner in our history so you'd think they be pumped up and try to win one for him. Yes these past 4 games dont matter but you do at least want to show improvement in each one as weeks progress. They did not. The biggest concern is the O-line. A few injuries and rookies or minimul exp starters will be the story. Hopefully Jennings gets more reps this season to help keep MJD healthy and fuel in his talk late in the season. QB is another concern but think that is more with the lack of talent at WR position. Feel like i'm watching them play hot potatoe with the ball. And its been this way for years. Yet they refuse to make any real moves on improving it. The defence will be the key to wins and loses this season. D line amd linebackers need to step up and help take away the looks of a weak secondary. Going to be interesting to see who they keep and waive to make the 53 man roster. Hopefully they address the WR/secondary positions thru free agents.
After watching in horrific state of manner the last 4 preseason games and rechecking this seasons schedule. Think we will take a step back for the last two seasons of 7-9 and 8-8. Season will be last and they'll start playing for next by the last qtr of the season and Gabbert will be the starter. Won't be suprised if he is starting by the bye week. Looking at a 6-10 season at best but most likely a 4/5 win season will be had.
It really won't take much to turn this team around. But til they fill the voids in the secondary and get some talent at the WR position , it won't happen. 9 days away and the season starts. Hope i got alot of beer money cause i'm going to need it this year.
