  [SPEAKER_00]: That's how everyone will come in and do all the daily.
• 0:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm Jack McFall.
• 0:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Hope everyone's having a good one.
• 0:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's your Jack's project.
• 0:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: We're going to lose to the buff low bills in the wild card.
• 0:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Just a brutal way for such a magical season to end.
• 0:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think that a part from maybe the Texans that bills were always going to be the team you didn't want to play in the first round.
• 0:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: And here we are.
• 0:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: There's so much unpacked with this game because
• 0:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: as usual when the Jaguars lose, it's on them and I know that sounds cliche and obvious, but that's just how it was and that's how it went and all five losses this season, the Jaguars did just enough to lose themselves, the game is out of shred of losing because they're a worse team, you know, that's just how it's been.
• 0:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: So,
• 0:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, well we'll get into it.
• 0:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for being here.
• 0:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is definitely not how any of us one of the season to end especially this abruptly But here we are I'm just gonna have to Roll with the punches.
• 1:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: I guess you know Now starting off with with something that isn't specific to either side of the ball, but still worth noting to me is that the Jaggers only had two except the pounds and penalties excuse me in this game
• 1:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: which is the lowest number in months in that regard.
• 1:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Two for 10 yards compared to the Bill 7 for 39, so a relatively low penalty hour day overall, but the judge was for the first time in what seems like forever or actually pretty disciplined, especially pre-snap.
• 1:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know that one of those and actually maybe both penalties were on Walker Little.
• 1:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: who was in there because of the CVL injury.
• 1:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: So he wasn't even supposed to be in there in the first place.
• 1:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: And he made it obvious to me.
• 1:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's so clearly not a starting offensive of laminating that it felt.
• 1:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: And he still has a fourth mind our cap at the season, which that's like robbery.
• 2:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: But, uh,
• 2:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that aside, they were actually pretty disappointing as the builds, which makes the slots even more frustrating because it kind of just means they found other ways to lose instead of, you know, just being the good team that they can be and we've seen it, but, you know, a lot of the times they haven't played with us, been because of, you know, drops, free snap penalties, penalties period, you know, whatever it might be, and that wasn't the case in this game, and they still
• 2:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, so it just didn't do enough.
• 2:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: So it makes it very frustrating.
• 2:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: And that starts at least offensively with play calling for me.
• 2:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know why the Jaguars didn't run the bull 20 plus more times than what they did.
• 2:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: It'll be a mystery until next September, at least for me.
• 2:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Bilzeron defense was so clearly not good enough to keep up with the two bags with the TN2 and but I mean with Trevor with everyone and still for whatever reason Liam Cohen called a very pass heavy pass first offense the entire game.
• 3:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: They averaged 6.7 a carry on 23 carries with 2 in an ATN.
• 3:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: They both had 20 plus yard gains, and yet they only come up with 14 carries, and 2 and had 3 of 4 of those come on one drive where you looked unstoppable and was broken for a score.
• 3:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I just can't understand why they were so against pounding the rock and just punching the bills to events in the face.
• 3:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: all the way down the field for the whole game, you know, at least as long as they could until the bill is real to stop it, especially with the struggles in the passing operation.
• 3:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: And look, I mean, they had good moments, of course, but
• 3:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: run the ball, just run it.
• 3:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think Coach Cohen kind of thought too hard about it to be honest and made it difficult on himself.
• 3:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: And in the end, it heavily impacted the outcome of the game.
• 4:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think they win if they run the ball even, I don't know, 10 to 12 more times than they did.
• 4:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: I wholeheartedly believe that they, they, they,
• 4:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: were too good running the ball to give up on it.
• 4:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what, I don't know, I don't know.
• 4:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now, Trevor played fine, and I guess I think he played wisely, but long enough to win.
• 4:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, they were right there.
• 4:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: But you definitely had some misses.
• 4:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: You had the two picks, the second one, a little bit more forgetting the first, I think, he's trying to win the game.
• 4:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, obviously, still it's bad.
• 4:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: But,
• 4:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: He gave it his all.
• 4:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, there's no debating that, again, it's just frustrating to think that so much could have been lifted off him if they had just run the fall more.
• 4:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, there was a lot put on him, and I mean, he's the franchise quarterback right.
• 4:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's expected, excuse me, but just run the fall, run the law.
• 5:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now for the defense they've put an interesting game, you know, it's a nice way to put it.
• 5:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't mean that in a good way, but definitely an interesting one.
• 5:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they completely made James Cook an on-factor, like total non-factor, the run defense stage drawn to the end, he had 46 on 15 carries, after such a dominant regular season.
• 5:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: But that's something that the Jack's defense did all year.
• 5:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: They shut down every running back that played.
• 5:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: They didn't allow us any five-year-art brochure all the way to the end, you know, which is utterly, I mean, that's dominant, right?
• 5:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: So in that aspect, they came prepared, but everything else.
• 5:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, and look, Josh Owens, one of the best play of quarterbacks in the NFL, and in the World of Cardinals, one of the best that we've ever seen.
• 5:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: And that's not hyperbole.
• 5:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, in the World of Cardinal's career, he's been completely unstoppable.
• 5:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm going to think that the J was, it's such a good job.
• 5:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Excuse me.
• 5:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I had been sick.
• 6:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: The judge was a such a good job at shutting down the run game and making them one dimensional that it might have hurt them as crazy as that sounds.
• 6:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Without the run game, you know, the bills were forced to let Josh out and be Josh out and he was forced to run around and and do what he does.
• 6:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, make plays and he did that.
• 6:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: He did that.
• 6:19
  [UNKNOWN]: He
• 6:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: put the team on his back and won and you know that leads to the problems defensively which is really everything other than the run defense but to be specific I think that the secondary was just not good enough to win you know they just weren't Greg Newsman particular was
• 6:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was pretty awful, all game, I don't know how the exec step, but I believe when he was targeted, he gave up like 100 yards at a score, he was just not good enough, and it just felt like Alan had a way too many easy completions all day, especially on the outside, he had the outrout all the time.
• 6:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: But also in the middle of the field too, you know, it was just that they weren't, the Jags defense did not seem prepared to play against a quarterback like Josh Allen.
• 7:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe they weren't to be honest with you.
• 7:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's by far the scariest quarterback they played all season.
• 7:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: And to have to do with them in the first run of the playoffs from to be an issue.
• 7:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's been talked about plenty already so I don't want to harp on it too much, but that quarterback's nick at the end of the game was that was the most like demoralizing, got regent thing that we watched all year.
• 7:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they were two and two and fourth down, two, four, two, excuse me, on the same play, by the way, and that's near, they were just trying to get the first and have a chance.
• 7:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they're,
• 7:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: The games over, if they're stopped there, like down that fourth time, the game is over.
• 7:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: If the Jags went and if they're stopped there, but no, instead, Judge Allen's pushed literally 10 yards to the one and then they win because of it.
• 7:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: For that to be the last play of the season for the defense, it's just so awful.
• 8:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't understand how you come up that happened period, but especially in that situation where you literally, if you get that stop, you win, like that is,
• 8:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's what it was, like a date, if they I'm solving a QB sneak like that, especially with Josh Allen, who's so big.
• 8:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know it's tough, but even if he gets the first there, you know, he falls forward, or you are, you still have a good shot, right?
• 8:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's just
• 8:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: Brutal, Brutal, Brutal, Brutal for two, and that way, you know, really sad for the defense to go out like that after such a amazing season where they lived and died on the aggressiveness and physicality, you know, and for them to kind of, I guess lose by being out physical, not the whole game, although some of the games, but specifically that play is just Brutal.
• 8:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: But here we are, the season's over after an incredible and just overall fun regular season.
• 9:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was just a fun year.
• 9:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was gonna be a sour taste after this loss for a while.
• 9:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think there should be, right?
• 9:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they're definitely should be, but I also think that, excuse me, God.
• 9:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's important to look bigger picture at what an incredible job we've been cone in the staff did.
• 9:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: And the window they've now opened for this team.
• 9:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, thanks to the front office and the coaches.
• 9:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: They've built a roster.
• 9:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, Jackson will now house a roster that is pretty complete.
• 9:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: And obviously the roster's going to be talked about a ton as weeks go on now.
• 9:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: But overall they build a physical, you know, pretty complete team that is now ready to compete hopefully for years.
• 9:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm sad how it ended.
• 9:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: But and I know everyone else says of course, but I know, um,
• 9:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: that good is to come, I have a ton of faith in what's being built.
• 9:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: And the future is bright, I don't think I'd even get to deny that.
• 9:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, with the way, they're set up, the future is bright.
• 10:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so that all about doing it for me, I want to thank everyone for the nice comments and running with me throughout the season, you know, I know when I was first given the opportunity from Jordan to put some content out on Judge I, everyone was probably wondering who, you know, this, this scrawny kid from New Jersey is and what he could possibly know about the Judge and what Judge I was, but I hope that's, that's to be some of an answer that I hope everyone
• 10:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, I mean, yeah, I just, I want to thank everyone for such a fun year, you know, it's, it's, it's too old to be die always, you know, always gonna ride with them, um, and yeah, thanks again.
• 10:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: So have a good rest of your week and go Jikes.
