City Chiefs on the road 30-14 on Sunday in Arrowhead in a game that could have been a lot
closer than the score ended up being. There were a myriad of issues that sunk
the Jaguars
Ereck Flowers Jerseys Stitched , but one of the big ones happened early in the game when it was still in reach and only down 10-0.The Jaguars had the ball on the
doorstep, third-and-two on about the four-yard line and decided to throw a jump
ball to Donte Moncrief. As expected, since Moncrief isn’t great at contested
catches, fell incomplete and the Jaguars were on fourth down. I don’t think
anyone would have quibbled with kicking a field goal and taking points on the
road, but the Jaguars decided to go for it on fourth down and didn’t convert.
Going for it on fourth down here is perfectly fine. I wasn’t against it. If
Austin Seferian-Jenkins holds on to the ball it’s at worst a first down and they
get a few more tries. The real gaff was... if you knew you were going to go for
it on fourth down why in the hell are you throwing the ball on third down?!Run
the dang ball.Jaguars backup running back TJ Yeldon was straight up gashing the
Chiefs defense during the drive. Run the ball on third-and-two if you’re
planning to go for it on fourth down. It makes no sense to go back-to-back
passing plays from point blank range if that’s the case. That choice and failure
to execute started the snowball to the loss.We always knew the Chiefs offense
was going to score points on the Jaguars defense, no matter how good they were.
Their offensive personnel is insane and tough for even the best defense to
cover

points (Jags offense handed them 10) to the leagues best offense, on the road,
while the offense turned the ball over four (5) times. The failure in the
redzone when it was 10-0 started the snowball and put the Jaguars in “catch up”
mode, which they are absolutely not built to deal with. After the defense go
another stop, limiting the Chiefs to a field goal, Blake Bortles threw one of
the most brutal pick sixes I can remember him throwing to a big ol’ Chiefs
defensive lineman on a screen pass.Instead of entering halftime down a
manageable 13-7 or 13-3
Jacksonville Jaguars Jerseys 2019 , the Jaguars went in 20-0 and you knew the game was all but over.I don’t typically criticize play calling in the moment or
until I at least sit down for a second watch, because it’s easy to question a
play immediately after it happens, but the call sequence inside the five yard
line early in the game was atrocious and started the downward spiral to the
loss.Bortles had a rough day overall, but asking him to drop back to pass near
70 times is always going to be a recipe for disaster but that’s the situation
the Jaguars found themselves in. They had repeated chances in the redzone and
striking distance, but turned the ball over multiple times and left a lot of
points on the field.Credit to the Chiefs, they thoroughly outplayed the
Jaguars

bounced off a lineman’s helmet. The 2019 NFL Combine takes place this week,

2019 NFL Combine takes place this week, which means we will at the very least
hear from some of the Jacksonville Jaguars brass. On Wednesday morning, Jaguars
head coach Doug Marrone met with the media at the combine and fielded some
questions.Obviously the big thing of interest is the quarterback position, of
which Marrone actually didn’t really say a whole lot and didn’t seem to clear
the smoke surrounding the position right now. While he didn’t explicitly say it
and he was surprisingly not asked about it
Cheap Josh Oliver Jersey , it seemed very obvious from his answers that the Jaguars will be moving on from quarterback Blake Bortles as expected.Marrone did
mention that when looking for a quarterback he would prefer to have one who is
ahead of the rest of the offense and everyone is catching up to them. Meaning
that he would like someone who is going to devour whatever the team draws up for
a playbook quickly. He’s looking for a high football IQ type of quarterback, be
it a veteran or a rookie, and their playbook would be modified/paired down based
on whatever they decide to do at the position.He was also asked about what kind
of veteran he would be looking for and mentioned that he’s had all kinds in the
past, but did specifically mention leadership and helping a young player
grow/acclimate to the league.Personally, the feeling I got was that it sounds
like their plan is a veteran quarterback plus a rookie, but Marrone does a
really good job of saying a whole lot of nothing.
