LAC VS JAX Pregame Discussion

I'm dissapointed that Turner is still hurting. He's probably the guy we need back the most because his backup is pretty darn bad.

Well, they should be able to beat Jax without Turner, so let him sit for another week to heal.

I think it's Bulaga we need back the most.

I think its like having 5 broken fingers on one hand and deciding which one you need back the most.

Does this Brit analyzing NFL football know what he's talking about? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9xU-b85-uI

I was thinking the middle one for flipping off the opposition!

I guess we should be grateful that we only lost to one AFC team during this four loss streak. Just beat the AFC opponents now in front of you.

It’s going to be a long two weeks for me ending on our fourth loss in a row.
Lot’s of emotions and debate about Lynn and our future.
We should get some guys back in time for a very winnable home game against the Jags.

I know many of you are beyond done with Lynn that you may not even look forward to wins, and instead prefer better draft positioning and a better chance at a better coach.
I am not on that boat (just yet)

It’s a unique season (to say the least) and Mahomes can contract CV tomorrow and the AFCW is wide open.
a little luck and we’re in the big game.

Speaking to my fellow Lynn detractors
What I want to know from you is...
Besides wins, what do you (realistically) need to see from Lynn to regain some faith back?

Speaking for myself, I need to see a competitive second half where it’s not glaringly obvious that JH isn’t bailing us out from poor adjustments. If we have a big lead we need to end with a significant lead. If we’re tied at the half I need to see us close out a game like the better team (especially against the Jags)
second thing is that I need to see some fire. That first offensive drive against the Saints looked like guys were playing at a funeral. Low energy and uninterested. I didn’t see any excitement until Herby started throwing darts.

Speaking to the Lynn supporters
What do you need to see from this team to begin to accept that Lynn is not the right choice for us moving forward? I would say besides Ls, but apparently that’s okay (I’m kidding, I’m kidding).

Let’s try to keep these realistic and applicable to the Jags game.

TIA

With regards to Lynn, he needs to be more aggressive and play the percentages when gambling to go for it on 4th down. None of this playing to lose nonsense since it's not going to work against the better teams. Time management as well.

In terms of second half adjustments, you can say that also needs to improve. On one hand, I can understand Lynn trying not to get Herbert killed by running it more. But I wonder what is holding Shane and Co. from using the quick passing game more. Unless it's something that Herbert is still learning to be better at.

Edit: Anyways the way we lost these past two games reminded me of the last years of Norv and McCoy. It's not looking good unless they go on a run.

This fact is significant, and if the Chargers do manage to nab a Wild Card slot, it will because of this.

The signs were pointing to the Jaguars being better than expected this season. They had a fantastic win over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 1 and had several hard-fought games. They barely lost to the Titans, only lost by one score to the Bengals and were right there with the Texans before allowing 17 points in the fourth quarter.

This game was a telling sign. Not only did the Jags lose but they were thoroughly beaten by a bad team that is also one of the worst-coached in the league.

I took a break for a couple of days and Lynn is still the HC. Oh well........
