Jags A.M. Podcast Ep. 127 | Final Takeaways from Jaguars' Week 16 Loss + Hot Takes · The Jacksonville Jaguars Official Podcast Network

• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Welcome into jag Zama. I'm Kindannie Stevens, Brian Sexton, and
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: John Oser are with me today. Is we're gonna recap
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: that game for you from Las Vegas on Sunday. So
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: we'll start with big things. Number One, unlucky in Las Vegas. Obviously,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars losing to the Raiders and other teams struggling
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: throughout their season as well. Brian, it's disappointed, to say
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the least. Obviously, it has been frustrating this entire season.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: But to lose to a team that is also not
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: very good, that doesn't feel.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Great, you know, And I'm not sure that unlucky is
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: the best way to describe it, because this is what
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: we've seen all year.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, Eric.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Ormstead back to back plays in the Neutrals thought, that's
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: just a disciplined So.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm lucky for us to have to watch it now.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Listen there, You're absolutely right. It was a very tough
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: game to watch.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: John. Yeah, it was.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: Late season, out of the playoffs, before Christmas football, and
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: over five or six games they've they've been eliminated, what
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: with like five or six games remaining the Jags, it
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: defies logic to think one of these wasn't coming. This
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: was sort of it. Neither team is very good, neither
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: team's playing a starting quarterback. The Jaguars have one front
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: line receiver in the game, and it's and it's Brian
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: Thomas Junior, who plays like it. So it's it's it's
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: the same thing, different week, this one with a Christmas
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: bow on.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: It felt like human nature had finally arrived, right. I mean,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: you're going west the week of Christmas, you're missing key players,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: You've lost games at the end. It's gotten to be
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: that point where you just can't avoid. As John just said,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: a game like that, they felt like the first time
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: all year guy that human nature showed up.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I felt like it got to them. Big thing number
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: two is too late. We're talking a lot this week
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: about getting the younger players out there, getting other players
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: experienced in this game. It might be a little too
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: late for that.
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: I mean, I know for the guys that haven't been around,
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: it's hard. And I've been through this stuff many times,
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: and you just got to go play ball and know
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: that your tape is your resume and everyone's watching the
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: tape and that's what you gotta do. And it stinks
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: and I do everything in my power to scream at
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: guys and cuss and say let's effing go, But.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: Is what it is?
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: John, You and I were there for that. And Andrew
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: winger Dewey very frustrated without getting to play, got into
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: the game a little bit only after injury. And we've
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: been talking a lot about whether it was Dewey coming
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: back or younger players, and we haven't seen all of
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: that at least second.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: He's frustrated.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: He's worked at this a long time, been a good
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: player for a long time, had a chance to start
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: before the season started, got hurt. So yeah, I mean
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: we're seeing some younger guys. I understand coaches with playing
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: younger guys. They don't just say let's throw everybody out
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: there and see what happens. You still want to give
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: yourself the best chance, you know. Has it happened soon enough?
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: It's is it too late? I guess it feels like
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: a lot of things are too late this season.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: You're right on, But just for three names, right, I mean,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Keilan Robinson, Jordan Jefferson and Trey Prince. And I thought
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: because Ronald Darby was down, we might see Trey Prince,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: who I think is a promising guy, obviously talking about
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: it all the time, but you do have some young
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: guys for whom there are some hopes that they can
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: evolve and become players.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: And I'm not in the meeting room.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know why they're not active, but there are
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: some young guys and maybe the final two weeks we
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: could see some of those three and see if they
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: are guys that you can lean on going into twenty
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: twenty five.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Our final big thing is final Push, because while there
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: it was some finality to that game in Las Vegas,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: there are STI still two more games that have to
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: be played. Mac Jones talked a little bit about the
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: end of the season.
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: We'll keep that private, but definitely for me as as
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: I've been this situation two years in a row, just
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: play good football and put the ball in play and
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: eliminate turnovers and control we can control, and like I said,
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: once we're all on the same page, promise things will
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: go well and and that's that's our goal.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: Ran.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: We've been talking about the energy we've seen from the team.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: They're in these games. They're close games, but it feels
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: like it's reaching the end of the track with this
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: amount of energy that they have left with all that's
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: been frustrating the season.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Well, it's it's a combination of lack of key players, right.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I mean the fact that we're talking to Mac Jones
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: after the game and not Trevor Lawrence says something about.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Where this team is and that they're throwing the ball
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: at times.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: You have Tim Jones on the field yesterday, I mean,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: not Christian Kirk. You're relying on Parker Washington and not
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Gave Davis. So it's just kind of where they are
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: at this point of the season. If you'd like something
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: to be optimistic about, something to look forward to in
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: the final two weeks, I can give you something.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Would you like that?
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Please do.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: The Jaguars are good to finish with the winning record,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: but they could finish with a winning record in the division.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I mean it's not much, but we're looking for something
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: to put in the old proverbial Christmas stocking. Perhaps a
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: couple of wins at the end of the year would
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: give them something to be happy about.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: It.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: It's all I got John.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: Yeh, Look, somebody asked me, how did he get to
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: this point offensively? Well, they weren't a particularly good offense before,
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: and now they're playing a backup quarterback and they're down
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: three of their top four receivers. So I don't think
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: not particularly good. It's going to get great in the circumstances.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: So that's why you see an offense that when Brian
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: Thomas you can't make a play. Uh, there's not much
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: going on offensively. It's where we're at. Merry Christmas.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Oh that was mean, all right, So this we'll come
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: back after the brake. We'll look at some of the
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: tape from the game in Vegas. Move the Frame, Move
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the Freight. Magellan Transport voted the coolest office space in Jacksonville.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: You canply on line at www dot Magellan Logistics dot com.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Welcome back into drag Zam. We're gonna talk a little
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: bit about that game in Las Vegas. Obviously frustrating and
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: kind of just bad football on both sides. Obviously both
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: of these teams have had trouble this season, but we
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: did see a little bit of something after all those
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: errors in the first half. We did see the offense
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: get going a little bit. But John, as we've talked about,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: it's always Brian Thomas junior that has to get it going.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Otherwise we don't see much of anything.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's uh, I don't know what the stat is,
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: but it seems like the last four or five games,
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: a couple of touchdowns each game, and when you kind
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: of look back at the key play, it's always a
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: bet and it says great things about him, not great
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: things about the team. And yesterday again in the first
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: half and they got it go and they got the
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: touchdown right after his he was a sixteen yarder that
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: broke Justin Blackings record and then credit him for sticking
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: it in. You know, they got the lead and they
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: can't do much with it.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: It's amazing that we can talk about Brian Thomas Junior
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: as much as we do week after week after week
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: and it doesn't seem to get old' he's that good.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: And he's doing it without Trebor Lawrence. He's doing it
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: on a field essentially all by himself. Because listen, no
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: disrespect intended, but no one is worried about Parker Washington
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: or Tim Jones or whoever else is out there, Josh Reynolds.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: It's all about seven.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: And they put this team together this year with the
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: idea that it was gonna be kind of like basketball
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: John Proper spacing makes everything work, and they haven't had it,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: and he's still playing so well, and it's such a
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: dominant player. I'm excited to see what they do if
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: they can get it right with everyone else around him
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: next year.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: Ye thoughts to him, and I think what you're gonna
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: see is once they get things moving around him. He
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: had nine for one hundred and thirty yesterday, which is
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: what about twelve yards reception ish and wasn't very good
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: at math. But I think once he gets people around
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: him a little bit, you're gonna see those yards perception
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: go up. He's gonna be more of a attack the
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: defense in the middle guy. And he's a smart guy
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: the press. Tyler talked about it last week, his ability
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: to run all routes of all these receiver positions. Can
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: you imagine how good he's gonna be once those things
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: calm down in his head and he's.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: An experienced receiver.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: It's I you're looking at the top five guy.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: It's good to see, at least on that side of
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: the football. We talked a lot about confoundary footballs is
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: not new. This is an issue they've had all season,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: but finally get on the scoreboard and immediately give up
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: a touchdown to the Raiders. And it's just that ability
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: or lack of ability to cover, and they're letting these
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: huge plays come about. Obviously this one against Tyson and
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Campbell setting up the touchdown, and just throughout the year.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's is it scheming, it's players, it's all
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: of it.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: It seems like, Kay, you tried to be kind with
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: this secondary this year and give them time to evolve,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: but they've been horrible. The number of explosive plays lead
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: the league are a franchise record already with two games
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: left to play, and they've been maddeningly consistent when you
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: needed a play to be made, whether it was the
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Packers game at the end when the Jags tied it up,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: or the Eagles game when the Jaguars were making it
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: closer and the safety to go over the top and
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: DeVonta Smith was wide open at the back of the
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: end zone. I mean, it's just been game after game
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: after game. The secondary has to be taken apart, reconstituted,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: and put back together in a different form than twenty
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: twenty five. You can't play with this.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been as bad as Brian described. And look,
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: it doesn't mean every player is atrocious. It doesn't mean
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: that every play has been bad. But the NFL is
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: about like big plays, and when you give up three
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: or four a game and their game breakers like that,
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: then all of a sudden, the fifteen plays you did
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: make don't matter. So I did not expect this sort
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: of season from that bunch.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: They gotta fix the safeties in particular. I mean, whether
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: it's about Cisco or Antonio Johnson or Turnhill Savage, I mean,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: they have all been really bad and the mistakes that
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: they have made, whether it was Cisco an opening day
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: against Miami as he watched Tyreek Hill or or Philly
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: or the Jets game, you know, the safety Antonio Johnson
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: watched DeVante Adams.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a fair few examples, I'm sure.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Well, I can just roll them off the top of
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: my head, which goes to show we've been dealing with
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: it all season long.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, all right, we're not gonna belabor the point. We'll
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: look at one more. Because Brian Thomas Juniors touched down
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: that broken play, we finally got one of our own
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: on offense. Obviously, the Raiders missing a field goal before that,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: so kind of set it up. As I mentioned, both
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: these teams not the best, so it's set up that play.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: But and we talked a little bit about this earlier
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: with Brian, but just it's impressive that he's able to
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: run all of those different routes, right, and he's doing that.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: I think John you mentioned without knowing that.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: Ent wasn't necessarily Sexton. Brian Sexton Junior could have scored
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: on that put.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: But the person I talked about a lot last week,
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: and it was very interesting that once the other guy's
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: got hurt, all of a sudden, BTJ is running routes
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: from different receiver positions. It can take veterans. There are
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: veterans who can't do that. He hasn't spent an off
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: season learning it. His ability to pick up the press
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: was saying basically, he he hears something that they told
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: Christian Kirk, hasn't really drilled it, and then can go
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: out and do it. That's high end football intelligence. This kid,
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: once that gets where it's it's like learning a language, right.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: He sort of knows Spanish now once he really learned Spanish.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Wow, ole.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's about all I know. So here's a really
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: impressive part we talked. I just railed on the Jaguar secondary.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: How bad are the Raiders that at the snap of
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: the bowl the safety on Brian Thomas junior side runs
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: to the middle of it, runs away, and the corner
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: jumps up to meet him and then lets him go by.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's the only threat on the entire field,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: and he's a hell of a threat. He could make
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: you look stupid. And two guys ran away from him.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: What does that mean he had one job?
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Listen, put three guys around him. Because you don't worry
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: about no offense, You don't worry about anyone else but
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: number seven man. You can't have enough guys to go
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: where is he? And on that play, it's like they went,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: don't worry about him?
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: Or when you're having tough seasons. Yeah, those things happen
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: in tough seasons. Both teams are having tough seasons.

  Speaker 1: hot they're gonna be. But Brian, do you got one?
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Well, mind's a lot optimistic. Listen, you can turn this too, right,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: I mean it can. It went south fast. I'll go
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: back to the end of the third quarter of Miami
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: An opening day, Travis etn fumbles into the end zone,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Dolphins recover next play touchdown, and it felt to me
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: like the wind was out of their sails at that moment,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: and it's never really returned because of Brian Thomas Junior.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Because you're playing without Trevor Lawrence right now.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: You've got Evan Ingram who will be back next year.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: You've got some guys, You've got some promising young guys.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: What I watched yes yesterday just made me shake my
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: head but realize that maybe, just maybe, if you get
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: this thing right in the offseason, meaning how you construct
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: your roster, how you deal with your salary cap, what
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: you decide to do going forward with your leadership, both
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: in personnel and in coaching. If you get it right,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: you can turn this thing back around. Listen, I'm not
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: saying you're going to compete with Kansas City or Buffalo
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: or Baltimore in twenty twenty five, but you can compete
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: with Houston because this is not a great division. I
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: watch them as you probably did on Saturday. They're not
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: a great team. We know what the Colts and the
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Titans are. The Jaguars have enough promising young talent that
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: they can get this thing back to a eight nine,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: ten wins sort of team relatively quickly.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: I believe that.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, and you can get eight to nine
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: nine eight a say eight and eight. I'm an old guys,
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: but yes, even the difference between eight and nine what
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: this is for this team is not huge.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: No, you can get it.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: I think the long term you serve with the franchise
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: needs to be how do you get structurally over a
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: two or three year period up to the teams you're
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: talking about.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: That's a heavier lift.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: To have a legitimate Super Bowl hopes, there needs to
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: be some structure stuff in terms of the roster, Andrew
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: needs your quarterback.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, take that next big step and become that elite
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: franchise quarterback.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: If that's the case, if he comes back next.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Year better than he's ever been, Okay, I mean then
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: this is not enough take, right, But I do think
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: when you look what eight one score losses, seven of
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: those in the final two minutes of the game. You
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: flip a couple of those and you're where we're talking about,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: so you can turn this thing around as quickly as
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: it went south on you.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: Yep, my take was also relatively cold. It we'll call
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: it hot because it's Christmas. Same old, same old, has
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: gotten roll old. I mean, it's sort of the theme
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: of the show, and my hot take is sort of
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: what the theme of the show is. It's the exact
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: same stuff we've seen all year. Not enough plays at
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: the end of the game secondary can't cover, and then
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: you lose a one score game because you don't have
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: players except for Brian Thomas Junior who make plays about
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: the exits of notes and that's why they're not in
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: the playoff.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Hunt and three eleven or three and twelve min Here's
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: how old it is. Gotten I stopped by.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: A Christmas party on my way home from the stadium
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: last night, and nobody wanted to ask me about the game.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Nobody even wanted to offer condolences like, oh, you guys
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: are dealing with this again. Nobody even wanted to talk
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: about the game. That's how old it's gotten. Because hope
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: on any given Sunday exists for NFL fans, Jaguars fans,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: as sick as they are of what the season has become,
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: still on Sunday you want to have a little bit
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: of hope that at least you might enjoy your team's performance,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: even in a dismal year like this. And it's gotten
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: so old that nobody even wanted to talk, even to
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: give me a little grief about it, which everyone seems
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: to want to do whether I'm in publics or wherever
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Christmas shopping.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: Not yesterday.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: It's a season of cheer. Oh boy, Unfortunately I'm going
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: to be a little gloomy as well. I think that
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: was the final one score game. That's my hot take
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: that we're going to see this season. We've seen a
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: lot of close losses, nine one score losses this year,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: because it felt like they were always close to getting
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: a win. I don't think we're going to see that
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: the rest of the way. Mason Rudolph's now the quarterback
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: for the Titans. I think if they had had him
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: in a quarterback, I don't believe the Jags would have
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: won that most recent game in Nashville. And I think
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: the Colts are trying to put something together, proof something
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: to themselves the back half of their season. So unfortunately,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: I think the three that we got are the three
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: that we're going to have the rest of the way.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: And well, especially if you're playing without more guys, right,
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, if Walker little because I thought cold Van
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Landon played pretty well. I mean, I know we had
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: the holding call on that key fourth down play, but
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: I didn't even notice it most of the game. So
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: we obviously came in and did a pretty decent job.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: But you know, when you lose more guys, I mean,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: Ventral Miller's a guy that you might not have back,
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: and maybe Anton Harra send you just if you Yeah, yeah,
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: I think you're right.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be a tough one.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: I think Sunday could be a repeat of yesterday because
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: the Titans are in the same boat. So you've got again,
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: two more teams in the same both that you don't
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: want to be.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: I'll say this, Doug Peterson's four and one against the Titans.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: That's not something a lot of Jaguars coaches over the
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: history of that series have been able to claim a
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: winning record.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: So maybe he's got a little something. We'll see. I'm hopeful.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: I'm hopeful.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: There we go, and I'd love to be wrong. We
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: always love a Titans win no matter when it comes.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Stay with us here we'll tell you what's coming up

• 18:58
  Speaker 1: of the season, guys, and many ways this is s

  Speaker 1: felt like the season would never end. But we are
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: nearing the end, and what's it gonna look like? Do
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: we know?
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: I think he's gonna look into over to the crowd.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: In terms of the in terms of all of it. Uh. I, Oh,
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: we've seen it.
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: I mean I I I the last few games in
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: a season like this, there's a little less I a
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: little less enthusiasm for it. I think the game will
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: look very similar to what the last few games will
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: look like. I think you're gonna see a bunch of Jaguars, uh,
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: players that are trying hard, and you know, the top
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: guns aren't playing, So it's gonna.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: Be what we've seen. Uh.
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: Now, they might catch lighting in a bottle and have
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: a really good game and get a win.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: But it's been sort of middling lately. Yeah, I I
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: I kind of expect that we'll see well, I I
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: shet off the top and you kind of alluded to it.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: I it feels like the human nature of a difficult
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: season in the holidays and so many of their top
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: players not playing, and so many young players having to play.
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: I mean, it just feels like the weight of a long,
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: disappointing season has just gotten to be too much and
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: their ability to fight it back is limited.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: Most of these games at the end of the season
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: like this come down to I guess it. The Jagged
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: stayed in it because they got a lead. Okay, some enthusiasm.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: We're going. The danger of these it is if you get.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: Down by double digits at some point then guys. Doug
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: talked about it in his presser this week. It's not
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: that you quit, it's that when you get down ten
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: or something goes wrong, you sort of go off script
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: and you try to do too much and then it
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: just sort of gets Well.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Luckily you don't have the Lions or the Bills or
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: the Chiefs on your schedule the next two weeks.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: You've seen that, Yeah, that was not good. Team has
• 20:54
