So here we are, closing in on 48 hours since the Jaguars

Mumblings of The Village Idiot: Nice win Youth Donte Moncrief Jerseys , let’s move on Sometimes you have to let the 24 hour rule extend just a bit longer. turned a metaphorical corner. No longer can we see the 8-8 years of Jack Del Rio. The smell of the Gus Bradley era is barely noticeable. Beating the New England Patriots was an important step in showing this team is good, as opposed to speculating on that belief.And it means very little in the grand scheme of things.The fans might want to stay on the mountain top a bit longer, but for the players it is time to move on.The league is littered with memories of teams who could not finish their meals. For example, ask the 2003 Minnesota Vikings or the 2009 Denver Broncos. Both of these teams started their aforementioned season 6-0, only to miss the playoffs with 9-7 and 8-8 records respectively.This Jaguars team does not appear to be falling for early season hype. The head coach will not let them.In his post-game speech, Doug Marrone was very clear what this game meant, and who this team is. They are team that needs to focus. They are not a team concerned with “statement games”. He fully expects to see the Patriots down the road, and whether this was a win or a loss for the Jaguars it is just the second game of the season. This Jaguars team has a year of experience under their belt, and those who did not get a glimpse of the promised land last year are buying into the culture that is being built.Doug closed with telling the players to enjoy the win, but to prepare themselves to correct mistakes and get ready for a divisional opponent.Some brief mumblings.Mumble 1I am tired of the “ignorant South” framing from folks up North, especially from a city like Boston. Here is what Chad Finn of the Boston Globe had to say about TIAA Bank stadium, and the Jaguars fans in it, after a Patriots score in the 2nd half.For those of you not familiar with this reference, “The Hills Have Eyes” is a movie set in Nevada where a family comes across a family of cannibalistic mutants.Even our beloved New Englander Rick Ballou knows those journalists up there are petty and annoying.You can reach Chad on twitter.But before you say anything mean to him, he also thinks we looked like a Super Bowl team. As much as ignorant southerners can think.Mumble 2Dakota Randall, writing for NESN (New England Sports Network), gives us this gem.Dakota title the article “Jaguars Talked A Bunch Of Trash After Beating Patriots — In September”, leveraging a variety of quotes from Jaguars player who expressed noting more than confidence in light of the victory.The framing of how the Jaguars responded to winning as something akin to “winning the Super Bowl” is such sour grapes. It is the idea that no one other than one’s own team can celebrate Donte Moncrief Jerseys Stitched , or possibly that the very act of celebrating discloses someone who lacks character or virtue.It is actually a compliment to your team, Dakota, that it means that much to us.Mumble 3If you are wondering why this “winning the Super Bowl” thing has any legs, here is a quote from Tashaun Gipson. Feel free to NOT take it out of context.Mumble 4Dear first-half Donte Moncrief, I am sorry for all the bad things I said about you.Dear second-half Donte Moncrief, I take it back.Mumble 5I love what Doug Marrone said about how he goes about challenging calls on the field. To paraphrase, Doug refuses to offer up names because he does not want them to face any grief if the challenge fails, and if it succeeds he wants to take all the credit.We are so damn lucky to have move on from “We are all getting better!” to “No one is a backup. I expect everyone to step in and start when called on.”Oh, and Doug, I am so, so sorry for all the mean things I said about you when you challenged that call.Mumble 6If you put a gun to my head and asked me what the top three plays of the game were, here you go, in descending order3. Dante Fowler strip and recovery.2. Corey Grant does not block in the back on the Dede Westbrook fourth quarter touchdown....and the winner...Doug Marrone challenges the spot. My game changer. If he does not get that, my gut tells me the momentum shift and the “here we go again” feeling would have enveloped us.Not being at the game, very curious what those who did go think about what the mood in the stadium would have been had it not been reversed.Mumble 7Last mumble (as I drool into my spit cup).I hate the Titans. I am not over 1999. I will never be over 1999 until the Jaguars win a Super Bowl. I can stomach losing to the Patriots. They are a dynasty. They have Brady. Do I believe they were the better team last year? No, but I get how the young upstarts, and their coaching staff, might have balked on the big stage. It is not unlike 1996.But 1999 was ours, and we blew it.Beating New England was nice Womens Landry Jones Jersey , but damn it I want to sweep the Titans. It is that important.And for the love of Zeus, can we not lose to Blaine Gabbert. AGAIN!=====================================================I am not doing a post-game music post (it obviously was a bad idea). Instead, I will add it here. Some Nine Inch Nails for you.

Firmly situated between the Super Bowl and the 2019 NFL Draft. Actively reviewing every mock draft, begging to see the picks that will change the fate of the 2019/20 Jaguars. Reading every tweet from our trusted (and untrusted) sources with the sole purpose of becoming more educated on those entering the draft, along with gather a lay of the free agent landscape.It is a serious time for the passionate football fan. The analytic mind is at full throttle. There is no time for anything but tapping the tree of knowledge.And then Josh Allen gave us diamonds.If you have just returned from a year long hiking trek, in a GQ article before this past season began, Jalen Ramsey referred to Josh Allen as “trash”. Further adding:Allen, to his credit, responded in a very Stoic way.Thankfully, for the fan, these two were scheduled to meet in the regular season. Unfortunately the Jaguars imploded, allowing Allen to lead his team to victory in a tightly contested match. Josh Allen got the last word, and recently he offered his reply to Jalen, asking if he was still “trash”.Or did he? More on that later.Of course social media lit up. Here are a few bits from Twitter.Our own Ryan Day was rewarded for his article on the story with, not only a retweet from Jalen himself, but also with recognition in an article at CBS Sports. Everything about this should have been fun. A WWE level spectacle.But for some it was not. I had a brief Twitter conversation with Buffalo Rumblings per their tweet above Donte Moncrief Jersey , a position that has zero logical grounding on multiple levels. First, are our friends over at Rumblings actually going to argue that one cannnot criticize another quarterback if their quarterback is Blake Bortles? That is akin to saying you can only criticize those who are beneath you. But how is this a problem for the fan? How is my ability to watch game tape and evaluate players in any way associated with how my team’s quarterback plays? Maybe it is more a people in glass houses should not throw stones, but this surely makes any player evaluations a problem for anyone.Second, I assume this means Jaguars fans can only criticize those who have quarterbacks with lower passer ratings than Bortles (79.8). Spoiler alert, those quarterbacks are Sam Darnold (77.6), Josh Rosen (66.7), and Josh Allen (67.9).The Big Lead tweet was another one that fell wide of the target. Calling the message on the photograph “disturbing”, the writer painted the picture of Josh Allen taking the low road by leveraging a families piece of memorabilia to further the verbal feud. The truth of the signing was made known in a piece by Brad Gelber over at “Bills Wire”, who took the time to interview Jeremy Seilheimer, the gentleman who traveled to get the autograph.Yes Brad, we should love the offseason. We should see moments like this an opportunity to appreciate the entertainment value that is afforded by competitive players. A normally benign Bills/Jaguars game has now become more fun thanks to the the Ramsey vs. Allen matchup. We can look at the statistics to make our case (I see you Ryan), or point to the scoreboard as a symbol of victory. Or, we can do what Mark did and point out just how competitive these players are, going so deep as to debate linen count.If you are taking this too much to heart, as if it is an affront to your very personhood because of how tied you are to your team, or team’s players, lighten up Francis. Jeremy figured it out.
