Speaker 1: The Jags fall in their home opener against the Chiefs
Speaker 1: and the offense struggled to get anything going yesterday. Is
Speaker 1: this a one offers, There's some serious concerns they need to.
Speaker 2: Address, not necessarily serious, but concerns and they can fix it.
Speaker 3: Uh both. I think it's a one off.
Speaker 4: It's only a one off if they can fix these
Speaker 4: issues with your detail.
Speaker 1: Ischiees Welcome into Jags am here in Hyundai Studios, presented
Speaker 1: by Carshield here today. And I don't know if any
Speaker 1: of us expected exactly what we saw on Sunday. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be have been surprised if the Chiefs won the game,
Speaker 1: but the way that they won and the way both
Speaker 1: teams played it was a little anemic. We talked about
Speaker 1: we were going to see a shootout in that home opener,
Speaker 1: and unfortunately we saw it like a defensive battle and
Speaker 1: then just just some weird football.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: You know, if I had regret for the loss yesterday,
Speaker 2: it wouldn't be for the fact that they lost to
Speaker 2: the Chiefs.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's the Super Bowl champions.
Speaker 2: It's tough to beat them, and we all knew that
Speaker 2: it would be that the offense didn't appear ready to
Speaker 2: play on a day that they took center stage. I mean,
Speaker 2: the personality of this team is Trevor Lawrence and the offense,
Speaker 2: and we expect more from them based on what we've seen,
Speaker 2: and they didn't deliver or they weren't prepared. Hard to say,
Speaker 2: except that they better get it fixed quick.
Speaker 4: It felt more to me like not delivering than not preparing.
Speaker 4: And it's the old thing the NFL. Evan Ingram said
Speaker 4: it every inch counts. How many plays did they have
Speaker 4: where the ball was touching Jaguars hands and there were
Speaker 4: feet around the end zone and it didn't happen.
Speaker 3: If those go in, we're not quite as concerned.
Speaker 4: But it was oddly clanky for a team that you
Speaker 4: expected more out of.
Speaker 2: Let me clarify, they didn't say that they weren't prepared, right,
Speaker 2: they didn't prepare. There's something that was off, and I'm
Speaker 2: going to go into this in my hot take. Preparing
Speaker 2: is more than just time on the practice field. There's
Speaker 2: a mental side of this game that you have to
Speaker 2: be prepared for as well. That was the part that.
Speaker 1: Looked off to me, and I think we all were
Speaker 1: their postgame, A lot of what we heard was execution
Speaker 1: right and not necessarily the game plan wasn't there that
Speaker 1: they didn't execute. They didn't do what they needed to do.
Speaker 1: So let's go through some of our big things. Big
Speaker 1: thing one is field goals. You're not going to beat
Speaker 1: the Chiefs if you go for field goals, and that's
Speaker 1: exactly what happened. I didn't find the end zone at
Speaker 1: all on Sunday against the Chiefs, and that's got to
Speaker 1: be a concern for this team.
Speaker 5: A lot of opportunities, you know, is disjointed, as some
Speaker 5: of the things kind of were throughout the game. It
Speaker 5: was just a sloppy game, I think, all over the place.
Speaker 5: But we had our opportunities. We were in the red
Speaker 5: zone four times and came away with nine points and
Speaker 5: that's you know, can't do that. You're not going to
Speaker 5: be good teams when you do that. So we got
Speaker 5: to be better.
Speaker 1: John, you just mentioned it. There was at least three
Speaker 1: or four touchdowns that would have been if the feet
Speaker 1: were in right, and just the frustration there that comes
Speaker 1: with that when you see that. Is it just is
Speaker 1: that the mental aspect that they didn't quite have or is.
Speaker 4: It just oh, I think it's just being a hair
Speaker 4: off and having to go against you that. Now, I
Speaker 4: will say this, in this league, when you bring it
Speaker 4: down to that, then you haven't done something else right.
Speaker 4: And you know, I guess I'm thinking the last week
Speaker 4: when the Zay Jones play was celebrated as an amazing catch,
Speaker 4: and it was it was really close to being one
Speaker 4: of those plays we saw yesterday. But you know, you
Speaker 4: react and you frame it. If it's a score, everybody's happy.
Speaker 4: If it's not, everybody's an idiot. So I think there
Speaker 4: is an element of that. You had the Christian Kirk play,
Speaker 4: which was like one little clip of the of the
Speaker 4: foot almost a touchdown. If some of those go, we're
Speaker 4: not talking about this, but Brian, in this league, if
Speaker 4: they don't go, they don't go, And you had to
Speaker 4: talk about it.
Speaker 2: No, and it it's spirals. I mean yesterday you could
Speaker 2: you can feel the frustration through your television screen or
Speaker 2: sitting in the stands that they just weren't getting there.
Speaker 2: And we have seen those plays come to fruition over
Speaker 2: the course of you know, the end run last year
Speaker 2: they made all those plays. So when they got to
Speaker 2: the red zone yesterday, it's like, all right, you know,
Speaker 2: they've got the ball the seventeen yard line after the
Speaker 2: muff punt. Well, Trffor's gonna score here because they did
Speaker 2: last week against the Colts where they scored three touchdowns
Speaker 2: in three red zone trips.
Speaker 3: And they did last year.
Speaker 2: As they made that run, we all had the sense
Speaker 2: that this offense had taken a step that they were
Speaker 2: ready now to be that you know that unit, that
Speaker 2: killer instinct is a word. Right, we got a chance.
Speaker 2: It's Kansas City. We can't score field goal, and they
Speaker 2: just couldn't get it done. Now, you lose by inches,
Speaker 2: you win by inches in this league, and that's where
Speaker 2: they've got to go back. And John mentioned detail off
Speaker 2: the top of the show. That's where the detail in
Speaker 2: the practice field comes in. So that next week when
Speaker 2: you you're in that situation, you dropped that foot right,
Speaker 2: you cut your route off half a yard shorter so
Speaker 2: that you're in a position quarterback.
Speaker 3: Can get the ball there. Right, It's a game of moments.
Speaker 4: It talked about it all last week, how Kansas City
Speaker 4: gets better as the game goes on. The Chiefs had
Speaker 4: two point blank opportunities touchdown touchdown around the half.
Speaker 3: YEP.
Speaker 4: The Jaguars in their moments, kick field goals, Mahomes the MVP,
Speaker 4: Trevor the young quarterback.
Speaker 1: Seemed like that was a difference That leads into our
Speaker 1: big thing too, which is takeaways. The defense played about
Speaker 1: as good as they can play. They held the Chiefs
Speaker 1: to seventeen points, They created turnovers, forcing bubbles, interceptions, and
Speaker 1: that has to be the highlight from yesterday.
Speaker 6: Defense played well. I mean, defense kept us in this
Speaker 6: football game, created the takeaway as you mentioned, and as
Speaker 6: I said, it's just execution. We've got to do better.
Speaker 1: As much as you can ask for from them. When
Speaker 1: we went in and talking about the offense, We've been
Speaker 1: talking about them for months, but the defense has been
Speaker 1: coming out big in these first two games.
Speaker 2: Look, if you hold Patrick Holmes to seventeen points, twelve
Speaker 2: points below their season average last year, and you force
Speaker 2: three first half turnovers, won the game or there would
Speaker 2: have been no doubt in anyone's mind. John, The narrative
Speaker 2: around this defense was hold on, they're going to play
Speaker 2: with some leads this year and we'll see them be
Speaker 2: able to rush the pass or create some turnovers. Well,
Speaker 2: in the first two games, they've rushed the pass or
Speaker 2: created turnovers without a lead.
Speaker 3: So how good is this defense? Betty good? I think
Speaker 3: it is too. I mean, I don't know that it's great.
Speaker 3: Well it's not the Jets, it's not the Cowboys.
Speaker 4: But if we don't have that, like just go lock
Speaker 4: down Chris Jones, they don't have that guy. But I
Speaker 4: thought they the way you have to rush Mahomes. I
Speaker 4: thought they did okay with that. He never felt completely comfortable.
Speaker 4: He made play. As he's a rushmore quarterback, you know
Speaker 4: he's gonna make plays. I thought the turning point whatever
Speaker 4: three takeaways second quarter, I think they got three points
Speaker 4: off of Yeah, and then you get the takeaway and
Speaker 4: the huge momentum shift leading three to nothing, Kelsey and
Speaker 4: the fun will give you the ball in the thirty seven,
Speaker 4: you give it right back. Doug didn't really talk about
Speaker 4: that specifically, but you talk about a moment where you
Speaker 4: had a chance to and then.
Speaker 3: It look in this league, could you do that? Yeah?
Speaker 2: In this league, if you get to the red zone
Speaker 2: and you come away with no points, you're losing, right,
Speaker 2: And they did that twice yesterday.
Speaker 1: It was frustrating. For sure. Our final big thing is
Speaker 1: going to be don't panic. We touched about it touched
Speaker 1: on it off the top of the show. There's nothing
Speaker 1: embarrassing about losing to the Chiefs. Certainly the way they
Speaker 1: lost not great, but this is still a very good
Speaker 1: football team. Doug Peterson thinks, so as well.
Speaker 4: There's guys who are kicked off in there.
Speaker 6: You know they're mad and they know it, and but
Speaker 6: it's so early in this season that one game is
Speaker 6: not going to define who we are and it's not
Speaker 6: going to define our season, right.
Speaker 1: I think it's a little extra frustrating because you're like,
Speaker 1: it was right there, like the Chiefs weren't playing great,
Speaker 1: this is the best roster they've had here in a minute,
Speaker 1: and then it just couldn't get it together. Well.
Speaker 2: So I asked that question of him in the news
Speaker 2: conferencely because that's where the good coaches and you are
Speaker 2: often fond of talking about how this league is always
Speaker 2: about coaching. This is where this is where the good
Speaker 2: coaches or the great coaches take the moment and they
Speaker 2: use it to redefine the week. And so I wanted
Speaker 2: to hear from Doug, how are you gonna do this?
Speaker 2: And the first thought was the best thought was I'm
Speaker 2: gonna take their anger and I'm going to refine it
Speaker 2: into focus, and I thought that his answer was outstanding.
Speaker 2: I have very little worry that they'll be ready to
Speaker 2: play this week based on Doug's answer in that postgame.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's you know, I hate to use the cliches
Speaker 4: because the fans hear from coaches they don't want from us.
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 4: It is a long season. There are always going to
Speaker 4: be ups and downs. If there was a positive. Some
Speaker 4: fans felt differently. But last year when they played the Chiefs,
Speaker 4: I never.
Speaker 3: Really felt like they run even footing. You felt like if.
Speaker 4: The Chiefs is made, you know that it was gonna
Speaker 4: take a herculean effort from the Jaguars to win. Yesterday,
Speaker 4: I thought the Jaguars were just as good and they
Speaker 4: just gave it away, which you know, does that matter
Speaker 4: on the scoreboard?
Speaker 3: No, does it matter of where if.
Speaker 4: I don't think there's far away from being that team
Speaker 4: as I felt like they were at the end of
Speaker 4: the last season. It's just disappointing to them that they
Speaker 4: didn't show it.
Speaker 2: People are gonna they're gonna turn their eyebrows up at this,
Speaker 2: but I don't think their roster is that much better.
Speaker 2: I mean, they have three players that you have to
Speaker 2: account for, Chris Jones, Travis Kelsey, and Patrick Mahomes. But
Speaker 2: other than that, it's a bunch of good football players
Speaker 2: who take advantage of the opportunities that those three great
Speaker 2: football players give them. What the Jaguars need to be
Speaker 2: able to do is take advantage of more opportunities that
Speaker 2: their team gets, and they didn't yesterday. But John's right,
Speaker 2: the Jaguars were closer to the Chiefs than they have
Speaker 2: been at any point since Patrick Mahomes has been there.
Speaker 1: And certainly it might be more frustrating immediately, but if
Speaker 1: you know that, if you execute your game plan, you
Speaker 1: can compete, it's not like you're just getting completely out
Speaker 1: worked out there. They have the talent and they have
Speaker 1: the ability.
Speaker 2: Well, everyone's mad this morning cause they saw the opportunities
Speaker 2: that were there. Absolutely not because they couldn't line up
Speaker 2: and play.
Speaker 1: I know, alright, coming up, we're gonna go over some
Speaker 1: of the game changing moments if you will save them
Speaker 1: highlights a little bit, but also some of the low
Speaker 1: lights on what they need to work on coming up
Speaker 1: after the bank move, the freight move the freight Magellan
Speaker 1: Transport voted the coolest office space in Jacksonville. You can
Speaker 1: apply online at www dot Magellanlogistics dot com.
Speaker 5: We gotta be better. We gotta help them. I mean,
Speaker 5: they were on the field a lot today. We had
Speaker 5: a lot of bad possessions where we put 'em, they'd
Speaker 5: get a turnover, we' put 'em right back on the field,
Speaker 5: and really just their back was against the wall the
Speaker 5: whole day. And you know, they played great, you know,
Speaker 5: and uh, we gotta play better.
Speaker 3: We gotta help 'em. You know, those just just bad
Speaker 3: by us.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Jagsam. That's about as frustrated as a
Speaker 1: Trevor as Trevor gets postgame yesterday, which is good because
Speaker 1: he's even keeled. But you can tell there was just
Speaker 1: just halfway through that game they were so mad at themselves.
Speaker 2: He knows, they missed an opportunity to come out and
Speaker 2: show who they were. They have a lot of confidence
Speaker 2: in themselves on the offensive side of the ball. And yesterday,
Speaker 2: and I'll go into this more in my hot take,
Speaker 2: yesterday it was, you know, and they were just miss
Speaker 2: firing like an engine with the spark plugs that need
Speaker 2: to be replaced.
Speaker 3: It just didn't happen.
Speaker 1: Let's go over some of the highlights from yesterday, or
Speaker 1: at least defining moments for us. Off the gate, we thought,
Speaker 1: you know, they're creating turnovers, forcing turnovers. That muffed punt
Speaker 1: was huge for them to come up. We've been, you know,
Speaker 1: giving special teams credit. It was agnew in the first game.
Speaker 1: But here they're able to, you know, capitalize on the
Speaker 1: home field advantage. I think he lost it in the
Speaker 1: sun there, and then it was at the seventeen yard line.
Speaker 1: They get the ball at and just not be able
Speaker 1: to convert after that was so frustrated.
Speaker 2: I mean, you talk about special teams, look at Tim Jones,
Speaker 2: who we had talked about being an exceptional special teams
Speaker 2: player right place, right time. John, At that moment, I thought,
Speaker 2: the ball bounces is your way against Kansas City very
Speaker 2: few times.
Speaker 3: You better take advantage of it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, actually this team has had the ball bounce
Speaker 4: its way against Kansas City a lot. Last year they
Speaker 4: had I think three first half turnovers. Didn't take advantage
Speaker 4: of them. When they didn't touch down this, you felt
Speaker 4: like opportunity, you know, it's the same thing I almost
Speaker 4: tired of saying it already. Opportunity missed here for big momentum.
Speaker 4: You know, you had a chance to stick a knife
Speaker 4: in them. You sort of just hit him.
Speaker 1: Over the head with a little pat took some of
Speaker 1: the window of the stadium too, because yeah, everybody's jacked
Speaker 1: up at that point, and it was just kind of
Speaker 1: like so after that, we saw some force turnovers. We
Speaker 1: talked a lot about the defense. Those were certainly highlights yesterday,
Speaker 1: and one of them was the force fumble and just
Speaker 1: what they were able to do and in terms of
Speaker 1: giving extra chances to the offense, as we talked about,
Speaker 1: that's what we wanted to see from the defense, and
Speaker 1: we did see that, but then it wasn't converted into points.
Speaker 3: Right. You settle for the field goal, and you just
Speaker 3: you feel like, all right, here we go.
Speaker 2: What a play by Darius Williams here to get there
Speaker 2: and knock the ball out and Watson's going to the
Speaker 2: ground yep, and he reaches in and pulls that.
Speaker 3: That's not accidental, that's not lucky, that was a move.
Speaker 2: Watch him just there you go, right, I mean, that's
Speaker 2: what a great play. And John, I mean, even though
Speaker 2: you're only up three nothing at this point, you're like.
Speaker 3: All right, here we go. Oh you're at thirty seven.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean this is it's not put them away time,
Speaker 4: because you don't put the Chiefs away. But what it
Speaker 4: was is it was a chance to all of a
Speaker 4: sudden tilt the game in a way that the Chiefs
Speaker 4: had the game.
Speaker 3: Tilted twice last year.
Speaker 4: Where you're playing uphill the whole game. Now you get
Speaker 4: a little a bit of a chance to rush you
Speaker 4: maybe get that one more turnover that does put them away.
Speaker 4: When you miss that and you're playing on even footing,
Speaker 4: play calls are different. Energy is different. Two major missed opportunities.
Speaker 4: You get two turnover or three turns in the second quarter,
Speaker 4: two are in there. It gives you the ball in
Speaker 4: their territory. The Cisco felt more like a punt, not
Speaker 4: knocking it, but it didn't give you a huge momentum.
Speaker 4: The two inside the fifty a stat for you guys,
Speaker 4: they're not use a big stat guy. Five trips inside
Speaker 4: the fifty and the first half six points. Last year,
Speaker 4: five trips inside the fifteen the first half in KC
Speaker 4: seven points.
Speaker 3: Miss opportunities.
Speaker 1: I think one of the things here this is Cisco's
Speaker 1: interception on that play, not only that. Josh Allen is
Speaker 1: all up in Mahomes girl on that throw and we
Speaker 1: saw him flying all over the field. I know he
Speaker 1: was out for a little bit with a shoulder in
Speaker 1: the second half there, but.
Speaker 2: Well, this play was so big, Kuy, because you just
Speaker 2: you were waiting for Patrick Mahomes to make a play
Speaker 2: down the field, right, and he was going after Watson.
Speaker 2: I mean, that was the only guy he had a
Speaker 2: lot of confidence in and you felt like, all right,
Speaker 2: we got you again. Maybe we're up to this. Maybe
Speaker 2: the defense today is up to the challenge.
Speaker 3: And they were.
Speaker 2: You weren't gonna stop them every time, right the last
Speaker 2: of the first, in the in the first of the second,
Speaker 2: you didn't get them. But here it just felt like,
Speaker 2: hey man, we got answers. Even though we haven't got
Speaker 2: points yet, we've got answers. We're gonna keep coming.
Speaker 1: You have to imagine the defense was talking this week
Speaker 1: about you're gonna win the game if you can take
Speaker 1: the ball out of Patrick Mahomes's hands, and that's what
Speaker 1: they did. They're creating these turnovers, taking possessions away, and
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden it's three and out. A
Speaker 1: just quick outs for the offense and they're getting the
Speaker 1: ball right back. So they eventually got on the board,
Speaker 1: a lot of field goals, missed opportunities, and saw scoreless
Speaker 1: first quarter. But then Mahomes to Skymore was the first
Speaker 1: touchdown we saw in the game, and that kind of
Speaker 1: you know, they were in and after that as well,
Speaker 1: and I want to say it completely took them out
Speaker 1: of it. But anytime the Chiefs get going, you're always
Speaker 1: kind of like, oh, is that going to be the
Speaker 1: first of many things that come?
Speaker 3: It is, But.
Speaker 4: The Jaguars, if they're gonna win these kind of games, right,
Speaker 4: you got to score twenty seven.
Speaker 1: Oh, I get it.
Speaker 3: And so I thought they did a great job.
Speaker 4: After the first touchdown, they went down and got three,
Speaker 4: which kept them in the game even when the Chiefs
Speaker 4: had their little spurt. So again they hadn't played perfectly,
Speaker 4: but they had that opportunity only down. It was never
Speaker 4: a two score games, no, you just they never took. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say opportunities again, and you couldn't come try
Speaker 4: not to say it the rest of the show what
Speaker 4: it is today.
Speaker 1: Certainly, Brian, I know you were talking about just kind
Speaker 1: of the indemic offense as a whole, but Kansas City
Speaker 1: is saying the same thing. Right, Like both of these teams,
Speaker 1: if this was a thirty one to twenty eight game,
Speaker 1: yes we'd be frustrated, but that's understandable. But that will
Speaker 1: be what we expected. For them to come out and
Speaker 1: lay both of them kind of lay an egg on
Speaker 1: offense is weird?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 2: A couple things stood out, and so I went and
Speaker 2: found some of my buddies in the Kansas City media
Speaker 2: and they're talking about two things. One how well their
Speaker 2: defense played. And we know Steve Spednel is an excellent
Speaker 2: coach and they were well schooled. They knew what to expect,
Speaker 2: so credit to them and workhorse talking about the job
Speaker 2: that Mike called well and his staff did with the
Speaker 2: Jags defense. We're talking about an offense. They couldn't score
Speaker 2: nine points? What's the matter? And in Kansas City they're
Speaker 2: going seventeen points. We only got seventeen points. Are the
Speaker 2: Jaguars that good or is it us?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 2: In week two as you're trying to figure things out,
Speaker 2: and they are too right. He's clearly not Travis Kelcey
Speaker 2: right now, and Juwan Taylor is not a twenty million
Speaker 2: dollar tackle. They've got questions, they're one in one. The
Speaker 2: Jaguars are one in one. Doug Peterson said yesterday, don't panic.
Speaker 2: We're still in a good spot. We're one and one.
Speaker 2: We lost to the Super Bowl champs. We know we
Speaker 2: can play better. The people in Kansas City are saying
Speaker 2: we're one and one. We turned it over three times.
Speaker 2: He only scored seventeen points. It doesn't look what Kelsey's himself.
Speaker 2: But we got Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 3: We can get better.
Speaker 4: I thought Doug's presser showed both sides, meaning really frustrated
Speaker 4: with the short term. I don't want to say furious,
Speaker 4: but he was a little more clipped in his answers
Speaker 4: than usual. And then when the media is sort of
Speaker 4: fed off of that and was asking some sky is
Speaker 4: falling questions, he sort of shook out.
Speaker 3: Of it and was like, yeah, Okay, I'm frustrated, but
Speaker 3: it's week two. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So again, if there's been one thing in eighteen months
Speaker 4: being around Doug that you notice, it's the stunningly good
Speaker 4: perception and perspective that he has on.
Speaker 3: Where they're at and what this team needs.
Speaker 2: Okay, hold that thought, because my hot take is about
Speaker 2: Doug at a press conference and the perception so Digital.
Speaker 3: Stay with that, because I think we love a team.
Speaker 1: It is a tease, all right, Everybody say with us.
Speaker 1: We've got hot takes coming up after the break, and
Speaker 1: we'll look ahead a little bit. Two week three, sign

Speaker 1: workers and entire Electric team. Thank you to that. Right,
Speaker 1: we're back in it now. We're gonna do hot takes today. So, Brian,
Speaker 1: you had a little look ahead at what your hot
Speaker 1: take was, But what's your hot take?
Speaker 3: Fasi?
Speaker 2: Well, so I said wound too tight because I couldn't
Speaker 2: I couldn't put another phrase to it.
Speaker 3: But here's what I know.
Speaker 2: You mentioned Doug and being around him for eighteen months
Speaker 2: and how you kind of know what to expect from
Speaker 2: him when he comes into a news conference. He's an affable,
Speaker 2: energetic guy. Last Wednesday he was not. Last Wednesday he
Speaker 2: walked in, he was noticeably lower energy, and noticeably to
Speaker 2: me at least, he just kind of undersold it, soft spoken.
Speaker 2: I thought, that's it's odd, something's often. It's stuck with
Speaker 2: me all week, and then yesterday I'm watching Trevor in
Speaker 2: terms missing throws that he normally makes, and the television
Speaker 2: camera was showing a tight shot on him and he
Speaker 2: had this sort of weird look on his face, and
Speaker 2: it just there was something off about this team.
Speaker 3: I don't know whether they were wound too tight.
Speaker 2: I don't know whether the pressure or the stage or
Speaker 2: their I don't know what it was, but this team
Speaker 2: was entirely off on the offensive side of the ball.
Speaker 2: And John we talked last week about the coach and
Speaker 2: the quarterback, right, I mean, Paul Brown and Autograham all
Speaker 2: the way through Brady and Belichick, and they just both
Speaker 2: felt off to me. And I don't know why, and
Speaker 2: it's very nebulous. I can't pin it down and so
Speaker 2: people can disagree with it, but go back and watch
Speaker 2: his news conference from last Wednesday and you'll see that
Speaker 2: he wasn't himself and this team has to get back
Speaker 2: to being themselves this week. Doug has to come into
Speaker 2: his press conference and be that energetic guy, right because
Speaker 2: the team feeds off of that stuff. And I'm not
Speaker 2: blaming Doug, but you get what I mean. Something just
Speaker 2: wasn't right. They got to get back to themselves.
Speaker 1: Doug talked about that too this week, which was interesting
Speaker 1: because he talked about one of the things he learned
Speaker 1: from Andy Reid is that he needs to be himself.
Speaker 1: He needs to go out and coach and be himself,
Speaker 1: not try to be anybody else. So interesting that you
Speaker 1: point that out, that Doug really wasn't acting like what
Speaker 1: we know to be his normal.
Speaker 3: Self, not in the limited time we've been with him.
Speaker 1: So interesting, John, what's your take this week?
Speaker 4: It again plays off some and Doug said last week
Speaker 4: and it's many about moments, and there was there was
Speaker 4: a moment last week where he talked about how good
Speaker 4: the chiefs are in the big situations and it was
Speaker 4: going to come down to not who won the fourth quarter,
Speaker 4: but big fourth quarter moments. So you know, this was
Speaker 4: about the team that blinked, and the Jaguars blink. They
Speaker 4: had their moments in the in the second half, even
Speaker 4: down sick, I mean, even down eight, you drive, you're
Speaker 4: on your first and goal in the one. You know,
Speaker 4: I honestly on that play, the first and goal from
Speaker 4: the one with Etn. I don't know if Trevor made
Speaker 4: that decision himself. It seemed maybe from looking up that
Speaker 4: he pulled the ball out of Etn's gut.
Speaker 3: I don't know that, but it's what struck me.
Speaker 4: I don't know if there's a play call or what,
Speaker 4: but those moments where it just didn't happen, huge, huge,
Speaker 4: big play moments. Even at the end, you're eight points,
Speaker 4: you have a chance to get back in and you're
Speaker 4: in the red zone. Doesn't quite when to Ridley eight times,
Speaker 4: two targets, just those moments, and I guess it's not surprising, Brian.
Speaker 4: You know the Chiefs, you don't become the five time
Speaker 4: AFC Championship game participate at home unless you're great at
Speaker 4: those moments. And the Jaguars are still trying to be
Speaker 4: that team that's better than the Chiefs in those moments.
Speaker 3: They kind of this kind of feeds back to where
Speaker 3: I was.
Speaker 2: I think that this team, to some degree was what
Speaker 2: they were trying to win those moments, and they knew
Speaker 2: what was at stake, right, the chance to get ahead
Speaker 2: of the Chiefs for home field advantage in the playoffs
Speaker 2: in Week two, and they just didn't make the.
Speaker 3: Right decisions in the right moments. It's just you're right, John,
Speaker 3: that's this is a team that's got to dial it in.
Speaker 3: But here's what I would say. It's Monday morning.
Speaker 4: So every after a loss, so everything seems like you're
Speaker 4: just stood it. If your task right now as a
Speaker 4: franchise is that the last thing you've got to get
Speaker 4: past is beating the best team in football for five
Speaker 4: years and a team that's great at these moments, right,
Speaker 4: if that's your last hurdle, you're in good shape. I mean,
Speaker 4: there's a lot of teams that want to get there, right,
Speaker 4: So it's not necessarily that everything's terrible.
Speaker 3: It's just that these are the moments that we're talking
Speaker 3: about this morning.
Speaker 2: Sure, hey, real quick, the moment now in front of
Speaker 2: them is a chance to go to and oh in
Speaker 2: the AFC South and last year they were not up
Speaker 2: to the moment of the Texans. The Texans were not
Speaker 2: a good team last year and they weren't up to
Speaker 2: that moment, a feeling they will be this week two
Speaker 2: and oh in the division headed to London, really an
Speaker 2: important moment, probably more important than last Sunday, because the
Speaker 2: division is the way to the playoffs.
Speaker 1: And that's where my hot take comes in because it's
Speaker 1: not a gimme on Sunday, but it is very, very
Speaker 1: important and I think a lot of turning the page
Speaker 1: will be doug using that frustration, as we mentioned, getting
Speaker 1: them to focus on this game because it can become
Speaker 1: a trap game. How many teams have we seen get
Speaker 1: up really big for one quote big game, and then
Speaker 1: the next week against a so called lesser opponent they
Speaker 1: don't come through. So this will be a big game
Speaker 1: for them in terms of, yes, solidifying themselves in the
Speaker 1: AFC South, but also getting some confidence back and getting
Speaker 1: this team back to where we want to be in
Speaker 1: the season. One loss is not a big deal. One
Speaker 1: loss so the Chiefs is not a big deal, but
Speaker 1: playing well consistently is going to be what this team
Speaker 1: needs to do, specifically on offense, yes, we're happy the
Speaker 1: defense is playing well, but if you are going to
Speaker 1: be successful make a playoff run, it's going to be
Speaker 1: the offense that gets them there. So they really need
Speaker 1: to get back on track against Houston. I know they've
Speaker 1: had a little bit of a bugaboo against them at
Speaker 1: certain points, right I guess.
Speaker 2: Hey, Look, since the Texans came in, they have beaten
Speaker 2: the Jaguars more than the Jaguars have beaten them. There
Speaker 2: have been some great players Andre Johnson, JJ Watt through
Speaker 2: the years, but the Jaguars have never had a good.
Speaker 3: Answer for the Texans.
Speaker 2: And they've got a better roster and they're ready to
Speaker 2: now flip the script and start taking over the Texans.
Speaker 3: It starts on Sunday.
Speaker 4: Well, the bugaboo is it was particularly bad for about
Speaker 4: four FI season before last season, but that hadn't nothing
Speaker 4: new with the Texans.
Speaker 3: The Jaguars weren't beating anybody. Well that's true, but that
Speaker 3: Jshaun Watson. They had players that made the Jaguars look bad.
Speaker 1: All right, stay with us. We'll have a little bit
Speaker 1: more about what we got coming up this week. Be
Speaker 1: see you after the break. DAGs fans. If you want
Speaker 1: customized Jaguars furniture for your home. You can check out
Speaker 1: zipchare dot com to browse all customizable options. Zipchair is
Speaker 1: furniture for fans.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's definitely really really frustrating when you leave that
Speaker 5: much out there, especially being in the red zone. Like
Speaker 5: I said, four times and no points, and you just
Speaker 5: think back to all those plays. If you score one
Speaker 5: of those possessions, games completely different. You know, if we
Speaker 5: score on that one, we got the on the one
Speaker 5: yard line, score on that possession, get the two point
Speaker 5: of versions a tire game.
Speaker 1: All right, we're moving on. Is this one of those days, John,
Speaker 1: where you go, you watch the film today and then
Speaker 1: on Tuesday moving forward, it's just we're onto the Texans
Speaker 1: at that point.
Speaker 4: Well, by its nature, every week in the NFL has
Speaker 4: to be that. If it's not, you're in trouble because
Speaker 4: then you're thinking about the wrong things. But Evan Ingram
Speaker 4: said after the game, yeshit. Somebody said, was this one
Speaker 4: where you burned the tape or you're.
Speaker 3: Study it now? You study it and figure out what happened.
Speaker 4: And I think what they'll see is Christian Kirk I
Speaker 4: think was talking about it. Big plays, more intensity, more
Speaker 4: focused than however you define that, I think they'll see
Speaker 4: it's like it's not talent, it's just they didn't make
Speaker 4: plays in these big spots and they're a team that's
Speaker 4: supposed to do that.
Speaker 2: This is a week where you double down on doing
Speaker 2: what you do. You don't do anything different, You don't
Speaker 2: try to change things up. You just try to do
Speaker 2: what you do. Because Doug, if he's done anything in
Speaker 2: the last eighteen months, is establish a framework for this
Speaker 2: team to work well within. Even when they were losing
Speaker 2: last year, all those games in a row where they
Speaker 2: lost in the final two minutes, they kept doing the
Speaker 2: same thing. Doug kept preaching do thus same thing, and
Speaker 2: then eventually they broke out of that. So nothing crazy,
Speaker 2: nothing different this week, just dial it in now. Doug
Speaker 2: did have one interesting thing to say to Bucky Brooks
Speaker 2: in the postgame radio. He said, maybe we're putting too
Speaker 2: much in Maybe we have too much faith in ourselves
Speaker 2: at this point, and our game plan is a little
Speaker 2: too heavy and we need to streamline it and come back.
Speaker 2: Maybe we need to take a look at that. So
Speaker 2: there are some things that the coaching staff will do
Speaker 2: in order to get the team in a position on
Speaker 2: the practice field on Wednesday to be able to be
Speaker 2: their best.
Speaker 1: Certainly an opportunity to turn the page that game on
Speaker 1: week three is presented by Renewal Y Anderson a better
Speaker 1: way to a better window that's going to be here
Speaker 1: in week three, So you can check out the team
Speaker 1: against the Texans for that game. Tickets still available and
Speaker 1: we'll preview that matchup later on in this week and
Speaker 1: we'll be back with you on jag xam on Wednesday,
