Mark Brunell: Minshew and Jaguars offense going backwards
Read full article: Mark Brunell: Minshew and Jaguars offense going backwardsThat’s five straight losses for the Jaguars and Sunday’s 34-16 clunker may have been the worst among all those defeats. We know the defense struggles, but you can’t score 16 points in the NFL and expect to win. I know the defense gave up nearly 200 yards on the ground and a lot of points, but this loss was on the offense. I think the overall consensus at this point is that Minshew is not a franchise quarterback. We know the defense is going to give up points week after week.

Read full article: Mark Brunell: More of the same in another forgettable lossJACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Another bad loss and more of the same in how it looked. Asking a young offense to go up and down the field and swap touchdown for touchdown isn’t fair. But now, he’s four games into his NFL career and he’s been sacked 14 times in three games. This offense is still young and evolving and Gardner Minshew II isn’t quite there yet as a fully developed quarterback. The past two week’s he’s been jumpy in the pocket and not really settled back there.

The Jaguars' rivalry with the Titans has been rather one-sided when the games are played in Nashville. He may need to have a few more this week if the jaguars are going to slow down Titans running back Derrick Henry. The Jaguars split with the Titans last season, winning 20-7 at home on Thursday night football and getting routed 42-20 at Tennessee.

Read full article: Mark Brunell: Rookies shine, Minshew stands out in a great opening weekWe’ve heard so much about how bad this team is supposed to be and the players hear that, too. Until you get those young players in game action, you just don’t know how they’re going to perform. As young as the Jaguars are and rookies are playing like they did against the Colts, that is very comforting for me going forward. There were three times during the game where I saw a significant change in how Minshew performed compared to last year. Winning in Week 1 doesn’t change my long-term outlook for the Jaguars this season.

A win against the Colts would’ve kept the Jaguars in contention. Not impossible, of course, but it’s highly unlikely that the Jaguars have a chance for the postseason. Nick Foles had a good first drive, but regressed after that first touchdown pass to D.J. And if there ever was a game this season that the team needed to win, next Sunday against the Titans is it.

Instead, it put a stamp on just how much work lies in front for the Jaguars to become a competitive NFL team. The Jaguars (4-6) needed to close the season out strong to have a shot to reach the playoffs. The pair of 100-yard rushers marked the first time that the Colts had done that in franchise history. Brissett added a 5-yayrd rushing touchdown A 48-yard run by Williams on the following drive set up a Nyheim Hines 7-yard touchdown run and the blowout was on.
