In A Surprising Turn Of Events, The Jaguars Are Bad Again
I want you to brace yourself for some hard truths. This isn’t going to be pleasant, but I have an announcement. The 2016 Jacksonville Jaguars might actually be a bad team. I know. I know. It’s difficult.
The Jaguars went to San Diego yesterday and laid a big ole fat nasty dirty diaper all over the field in all three phases of the game. The offense was horrendous.
I get wanting to establish the run. I really do. I can’t stand when offensive coordinators think that you have to establish the run by FORCING the run early. The Jaguars have a top 5 talent duo at WR. Throw the ball to Hurns and Robinson to open the run lanes.
In their first three series, which lasted like 10 total plays, the Jaguars threw to one WR. That WR was Marqise Lee. He tipped the ball up in the air, just like he did last week, and the result was an interception, just like it was last week. The Jaguars were down 21-0 with a quickness and that was that. The final score was 38-17 but that doesn’t really show how lopsided the game was.
San Diego was up 35-0 to start the fourth. In all the Jaguars games I’ve watched, this game might be the worst. The Chargers were without Keenan Allen because he tore his ACL last week and Danny Woodhead was injured in the first quarter. Two of the three biggest offensive threats were out and the Chargers still were able to pump the breaks in the third quarter while already up 35-0. Unbelievable, man.
The defense was bad. Special teams was bad. The Jaguars are bad, and the result is football sadness again for Jaguars fans.
Gus Bradley is a mind bottling 12-38 as a head coach. Get his ass outta here. Pro Football Talk put 12-38 in perspective.
Do you know how bad a 12-38 record is? There have been 170 coaches in NFL history who coached at least 50 games, and Bradley’s winning percentage ranks 169th out of those 170. The only coach with a worse record was Bert Bell, who coached the Philadelphia Eagles from 1936 to 1941. And the only reason Bell wasn’t fired is that Bell was also the Eagles’ owner.
