NFL: Mike Mularkey is an candidate for the Jags Head Coaching job

[Beef]

The Packers won the SB with a 10-6 regular season record last year and have transformed into the elite of the elite since the last time they lost a game.

It CAN be done. Turnarounds DO obviously happen. But for us to even stand a chance at the notion, we have to start maximizing the efficiency of the things that minimize our weaknesses while also maximizing the efficiency of the things that we are strong at.

1. We have a bad OL, yet too often we're running plays that require a very good OL.
2. We have a QB that is tough as hell, but hates to get hit, so when he sees/feels pressure, he gets happy feet and loses considerable accuracy or simply panics. There are n+1 plays in existance that can compensate for this and really punish defenses for over-rushing. Oddly enough, we hardly run them.
3. Whether certain people here want to admit it or not, we're obnoxiously predictable far far too often and that does hurt us. Establishing the run with 100% obvious run plays against 100% run defending sets is a ridiculously low percentage of success call. There are DOZENS of run plays that can do the same thing and are 1000% less predictable.
4. Our receivers can make incredible acrobatic catches one second and drop a ball that hits them in the hands the next. And it wasn't always like this. So what's wrong if not simply lack of confidence and focus? And WHY is there a lack of confidence and focus? Is it just a rolling snowball that starts with the OL? There's obviously some pressure being created by something that's causing this. Here's where coaching is lacking.
5. We have a kid that touched the ball 927x in 3 years of college and gained nearly 5k yards, having only 1 fumble in that time that wasn't even his fault. USE HIM!
6. Why are we running 5'9 185 lb 5th string WR's out there when 6'3 230 lb sure hands Meier is standing on the sideline every game?

And I feel like I could keep going on like this but I just don't feel like it. Point is, the offense fails the smooth machine unpredictable eyeball test right now. And until we can stop looking sloppy, play to our strengths, utilize all our weapons, and minimize our weaknesses, we're going to continue to be a very under-acheiving second tier offense.
