No amount of scheming will change that.
I have always said that my problem with Spags is he puts his player in positions where they have no chance to win on a given play.
Karlaftis will never, never succeed in covering a WR like that, unless the receiver literally falls down at the LOS.
The defense gained exactly ZERO advantage from that defensive play call.
Kirk dropped a bomb, that he absolutely should have caught, and the Jags get 3 points at a minimum.
The Jags fumble inside the 5 yard line, or they get a minimum of 3 points.
But, let's face it, we are a very bad red zone defense, so they probably score touchdowns on both of those drives.
But, once again, somehow Spags gets credit for unforced mistakes by the other team.
However, I will give Spags credit with the pressures he drew up down the stretch. They didn't hang any player out to dry, and the Jags seemed unprepared for them.

Lol, Spags unit was the steadiest of the three in this game, they held JAX to just 20 points, 4 less than their season average (meaning that our defense is actually better than NFL average), less than 33% scoring/drive, 31% in the 2nd half, and won the T/O battle.
You lose. Or you could just enjoy the victory. As always, your choice, bud.
