Remember that time Marrone's wife mooned the injured Packers players? Anyone have the link to that story?

 

Ummmmm, WHAT? I'll check back on this one...

To the surprise of no one, the real boss of the Jags isn't Maroon.

 

@NFL

From head coach to executive, Tom Coughlin is still running the @Jaguars his way: relentlessly. http://on.nfl.com/HWsuMn

That was a good read. It's going to be interesting to watch Jacksonville and Coughlin, especially if things don't go too well. He is a coach thru and thru and he's such a control freak. I think much of how this Marrone-Coughlin working relationship goes will depend on how long Marrone is able to put up with Coughlin going over every minute detail and how the power/control dynamic plays out long term. Marrone' a bit of s control freak himself. Edited by BillsFan4

Serious question, who has a better record this year, Jax or the Bills?

 

I don't see the Jags winning more than 4-5 games. I think the floor for the Bills is 6 wins, so I'm going with Buffalo.

It's honestly hard to say. The culture in the Buffalo locker room was probably the lowest its been at the end of the Rex era. McD may change that around but it's honestly hard to say..

 

Marrone on the other hand, to his credit, is a strong culture changer. He did good work on that front in Buffalo, and together with Coughlin, they may whip that talented team into shape and have them bust out.

 

I saw the 2016 team as a boom or bust roster. I see the 17 roster the same way, except I think their "boom" is 9 wins, and bust is 4. I could see the Jags making noise at 8 or 9 wins.

....quite the vote of confidence for Bortles.............

 

By all accounts, Jaguars QB Blake Bortles has not been very good in training camp. There was his five-interception practice. There was a woeful performance against the Patriots during a joint practice. Then Bortles threw two more picks in a recent session before coaches sat him down to rest his arm.

 

And now this…

 

Star receiver Allen Robinson growing frustrated with an inaccurate pass that caused him to collide with a spectator on the sideline.

“F—ing keep that s–t in bounds, bro,” Robinson says. “Goddamn.”

 

Jaguars fans aren’t the only ones frustrated with their quarterbacks play so far, it appears.

 

Unfortunately, the front office elected not to bring in any competition for Bortles, which is a shame. Jacksonville has a talented roster that could be competing for a playoff spot with a decent quarterback. The team currently does not have one of those on the roster.

Yep. If there was a lesson from the Superbowl it was no lead is safe when you are ideologically determined to pass every play.

 

learned that when Houston let the Bills back in the big comeback playoff game
