Jacksonville Jaguars throw away another winnable game against the Buffalo Bills: Quick Notes

Despite some stretches of dominance by the defense in the first half , the Jacksonville Jaguars made numerous unforced errors in Sunday’s loss to the Bills.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are now 2-9 and boast a pathetically impressive 14-45 record under head coach Gus Bradley.

So the Jaguars at least made history in a loss to the Buffalo Bills today. Aside from that, it was more of the same from the bumbling Jacksonville franchise. The defense looked good for most of the day, but they couldn’t make stops when it mattered. They shot themselves in the foot time and time again, and they couldn’t overcome a handful of atrocious calls from the officials.

Here are some more quick notes from the Jaguars latest loss:

• I’ll start with the quarterback because quite frankly Blake Bortles was good. Definitely not great, but he made a number of very nice throws and had a few big plays with his legs. He had an outstanding first quarter throw that was dropped by Allen Hurns that likely would have led to a touchdown, and he had some terrific passes to the tight ends in the middle of the field. The Jaguars honestly didn’t see much of a downgrade going from Marcedes Lewis and Julius Thomas to Ben Koyack and Neal Sterling.
• Even with the nice plays, Bortles still had a few headscratchers, the most prominent one being a ridiculous delay of game when the Jaguars went for it on 4th and 4 in the 4th quarter. While the coaching is probably also at fault for not getting the play in faster, the young QB has to take a time out there.
• The defense was absolutely dominant in the first half, completely shutting down the vaunted Bills’ rushing attack. Then they weren’t dominant. The kicked the second half off by allowing LeSean McCoy to run essentially untouched down the field for a 75 yard touchdown. Then they let the Bills score two more touchdowns on long drives. Again, they were good for a while but they couldn’t tighten up in the 4th quarter when they needed to.
• We’ll finish off with the coaching again because Gus Bradley deserves the spotlight on this historic day where he solidified himself as statistically the worst coach in the history of the NFL. Some may want to deflect the blame to the officials for some bad calls, the situational coaching probably cost the Jaguars this game. Replaying the punt when the Bills had a penalty was absolutely indefensible, and not calling a timeout before that delay of game was killer. Some of the play calling was also suspect. Overall, the coaching is dragging down what is already a disjointed team completely lacking confidence. With a tough slate of games left, there’s more losses in the future before Bradley gets fired at the end of the year.
