RAPID REACTIONS WINNING VS THE JAGUARS
Re: RAPID REACTIONS WINNING VS THE JAGUARS
We demolished two bad teams. The execution has been fantastic (both sides of ball). And I do still question if the recent success isn't fools gold.
If nothing else, confidence can be as priceless as being healthy.. we have both.. happy

The Packers and Jaguars are competing for a spot in the playoffs, and we beat them badly. They're not a bad team.

Re: RAPID REACTIONS WINNING VS THE JAGUARS
And the game with Atlanta was for control of the division. I’ll take credit away from Bowles every chance I get but they’ve stacked three great wins in a row.
We dominated the Pack and Jags.
Re: RAPID REACTIONS WINNING VS THE JAGUARS
The wins had great positives.
Atl - division lead gm/win.
GB - win at GB in Dec, always big
Jax - first win against opponent over .500
But each gm has their own ?'s
ATL - D solid but O was like a baby giraffe taking their first steps.. which was on par for the gms prior.
GB - their D looked bad, our O never looked so good. Correlation? Label me optimistic. GB overall not a team to fear.
Jax - they came in losing the last 3 and looked the part leaving with 4 Ls in a row. O looked great against a D that I believed to be above average, optimism solidified

Re: RAPID REACTIONS WINNING VS THE JAGUARS
I agree. However, the flip side is that the efficiency was off the charts even when correcting for the opponent. At least, when compared to how we were playing. Earlier in the year we might have struggled to score 20 in those games and they would have been nailbiters. Now, we are killing guys if they don't bring an A game. No matter what, there is tangible improvements to be pointed at.Noles1724 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 25, 2023 8:47 pm The wins had great positives.

Are we going to win a ring this year, probably not. A playoff win or two isn't out of the question though if we get good matchups.
More importantly, we are getting a clear look at what we could be if we keep Baker. He's probably never going to be a Hall of Fame candidate but his play of late has been superb. We won a title with worse. We are going to have some tough decisions this offseason, these last few games should be fun to watch and start giving answers to those questions.

You mean 20 years ago when the league then and now are apples to oranges and we had one of the top 3-5 defenses in the history of the league.
Baker has had a really good two game stretch, but let’s not settle for baker mayfield, especially when he’ll command semi-franchise qb money.
If baker continues his play for the remainder of the season and looks really good in the playoff game (not just not bad, but really good) he will force our hand. If he doesn’t, thank him for being good this season and draft an actual franchise qb.

Re: RAPID REACTIONS WINNING VS THE JAGUARS
Call me crazy, but I think we would have beaten the Chiefs with Baker. He'll our defense dominated them so hard we might well have won with Jameis.acmillis wrote: ↑Mon Dec 25, 2023 9:47 pm“Won a title with worse.”Terry Tate wrote: ↑Mon Dec 25, 2023 9:14 pm

Fair points though, but we can't kick him unless we have a solid plan A. It also depends on how much he wants. If he can maintain something close to what we have seen in the last few weeks and if he can finally play like this against tougher comp.
Believe me, I am all for drafting a QBOTF. I'd kill to have a rookie Stroud, Burrow or even Tags. I am just not sure who we get where we draft, that is that guy. If someone can tell me who is in the mid 20s for us to draft, I am all ears. Since Trask appears to be a wasted pick, I wouldn't mind taking a flyer on a later round guy if we keep Baker. You never know, if we get enough talent on offense and Canales can work with a kid, maybe we can find Purdy light in a later round.
Lastly, I thought the season was a wash and I was wrong. We are too good to tank for a pick and probably not good enough to win the whole thing. So we play for momentum. Build something and try to carry a higher level of play into next season. At this point, I think that means keeping Baker

The Raiders won this game and they didn't complete a pass since the 1st quarter.

You wonder why KJ Britt started? Really? TO SEND A MESSAGE!!
Guess what, message received. Clearly.
Can we put it to bed now, fella? From the horse lover's mouth himself.“Coach Bowles, he tried to tell everybody… You know, once he got me in a rhythm and got me going, he was going to let me go,” White said. “And that’s what he did. And I really appreciate him, you know, much more than anything because he helped me out. He helped me to be able to get back to myself by taking the game away from me and telling me to go heal up and then bringing me back on my own will when I felt right. I really appreciate him for that.”

Re: RAPID REACTIONS WINNING VS THE JAGUARS
Every NFL player 14 weeks into a season could use an opportunity to “heal up.” They don’t all have the head coach make that choice for them. I thought the little tidbit straight from Devin about “taking the game away from me” would have been enough for you.
Anyway. Never change.

Re: RAPID REACTIONS WINNING VS THE JAGUARS
Nobody cut off anything. I bolded the part where Devin White admitted Todd Bowles benched him. Or, “took the game away” since I’m sure you’ll come back to refute it.Bootz wrote: ↑Tue Dec 26, 2023 4:59 pmIf you truly thought that you wouldn't have cut off the bolded part of the quote mid-sentence.Grahamburn wrote: ↑Tue Dec 26, 2023 4:34 pm Every NFL player 14 weeks into a season could use an opportunity to “heal up.” They don’t all have the head coach make that choice for them.

Re: RAPID REACTIONS WINNING VS THE JAGUARS
The idea that any of us can have any real insight into the inner relationship of these two people off random soundbites is hilarious.
That's for the to figure out. Just give me a good product come Sunday.

Re: RAPID REACTIONS WINNING VS THE JAGUARS
Again, your bolded part stopped mid sentence for a reason. It completely manipulates the context of the statement to fit your agenda. I don't know if you're playing dumb here or it isn't an act. But clearly you were smart enough not to bold a complete sentence.Grahamburn wrote: ↑Tue Dec 26, 2023 6:19 pmNobody cut off anything.

And even if we are to believe that Devin is implying what you think he is, he says it was 1 game. You've tried to make the case for weeks that he got benched despite being on the injury report. AND Britt played well in his absence. Commonsense should tell you that you don't bench a guy for bad performance, inactivate him while also placing him on the injury report and then bench the guy who replaced him after his best game.
You painted yourself in this corner when numerous people have told you and proven to you otherwise, even the persons in question here. But you refuse to see things for the truth and are instead choosing to live in your alternate reality. You're living on that hill alone, kiddo. Well no, @Snake is keeping you company there.

Re: RAPID REACTIONS WINNING VS THE JAGUARS
We can agree that Devin White was benched for at least one game for non-injury reasons?
Re: RAPID REACTIONS WINNING VS THE JAGUARS
Despite Devin and his HC saying otherwise? Sure, if you want to prove you know more than the actual people involved.
