Do Jaguars have problems?

[ad_1]

There is only one eloquent comment in this post-match scrum. Ramsey was asked if the Jaguars were still the best defense of the NFL.

"We do not play like that," said Ramsey, his longest answer.

What happened to the Jaguars? They played very well most of last season, made a long playoff series that ended with a heartbreaking defeat against the Patriots in the AFC title-title, brought back all the world and dominated the Patriots in a 31-20 win of week 2. In recent weeks, the Jaguars seem unrecognizable – a bit like Ramsey tearing anyone who he remembers the name, will channel Bill Belichick.

They are on a 1-3 streak that includes a 9-6 home defeat against the Titans and two consecutive losses against the Chiefs and Cowboys. They were outclassed 70-21 in the last two weeks. The Chiefs' loss made sense as they can score against anyone, but it's hard to understand how the punch-free Cowboys attack earned them 40 points. The Jaguars still rank second in the NFL in yards per game and yards per game allowed this season, even after Sunday's debacle, so we can probably assume the defense will be fine. There is more talent in Jaguar defense than in any other league.

<p type = "text" content = "The offense is a problem and we all know why." Blake Bortles is often wrongly considered a bad quarter. "Come back to the part of Week 2 against the Patriots, when he sent for 376 yards and It's not a bad quarter, but what Bortles, now that Nick Foles is back on the bench, is the hottest and coldest quarter of the NFL since the beginning of memory, it is incredibly far away, Bad Bortles is really, really wrong. We saw this version of Bortles for three consecutive weeks. His mechanics have again looked neglected and his decision making has been bad. And there is no way to know when Bortles will turn it on. He did it during a fantastic season late in the season. He is capable of that, or plays as he did against the Patriots. It's just unpredictable. This leaves the Jaguars in a difficult situation. Running back Leonard Fournette has been injured all season and may not return until November.

That does not help running back star Leonard Fournette who has been injured all season and may not return until November.

The Jaguars can not do anything realistically about the quarterback. If you want to develop a business scenario, perhaps Eli Manning or Derek Carr, there is a reason a quarter would be available in a transaction. The Jaguars could theoretically attempt to trade a fortune against Teddy Bridgewater, the Saints substitute, based on a few preseason games this season, but Bridgewater has not played in a regular season game for a long time, he would learn a new attack and guarantee that the saints would want to trade even if the Jaguars were mortgaging the future. Any business scenario is like a fantasy or the problem of the next quarter. It's a scary thought, but the Jaguars seem stuck in the Bortles roller coaster this season.

The Jaguars have two advantages: the AFC South is not good and the schedule is flexible. Here's what's left to the Jaguars:

<p type = "text" content = "Week 7: against Houston

The toughest games are Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, which have sometimes fought. Both competitions are held in Jacksonville. The Jaguars will not run the table, but what games would you choose to lose the rest of the way?

The Jaguars have looked bad three of the last four weeks and this is a concern. The concern over Bortles' current recession or when his next recession will begin will always be a problem. But the Jaguars still seem to be a good bet to play in the playoffs, and they should become a handful once they get there. The defense should rebound, the schedule is very flexible, the South AFC is winnable and the Jaguars are hoping that Bortles will play more often than before and that it will be hot for a few games in January. The last part will determine if the Jaguars can repeat what they did last season. Stay tuned.

Here are the power rankings after week 6 of the NFL season:

32. Arizona Cardinals (1-5, LW: 31)

The immersion of David Johnson this year is amazing. In 2016, he averaged 4.2 yards per run and 11 yards per jack. This year it is at 3.2 and 7.9, which is terribly inefficient. Since I do not presume that Johnson has forgotten how to play since he was an All-Pro in 2016, I wondered if the Cardinals could do more to get him the ball in advantageous situations.

31. Oakland Raiders (1-5, LW: 30)

Quarterback Gareon Conley, a first-round pick in 2017, struggled, then Sunday he played no defensive goal. His three shots came from the special teams. Of all the things that do not go to Oakland, they also can not afford Conley to be a bust. Add to this the fact that the Raiders would have bought the 2015 Amari Cooper first-round pick in an exchange, the 2016 first-round pick, Karl Joseph, would no longer play, and the 2018 first-round pick, Kolton Miller, in trouble. This is a very bad part of the first round picks.

30. Colts of Indianapolis (1-5, LW: 29)

Here are the players who have at least 30 yards for the Colts on Sunday: Marlon Mack, Eric Ebron, Chester Rogers, Marcus Johnson, Zach Pascal, Mo Alie-Cox, Nyheim Hines. Few of these players, aside from Ebron and perhaps Hines (or Alie-Cox, if you need a good offensive rebounder) would play an important role for most NFL teams. And still, the Colts have accumulated 428 yards and 34 points on a very good defense of the Jets. A lot of that happened in the trash, but still. Yes, the Colts are 1-5, but over the next few years, by forming a team with which Frank Reich and Andrew Luck will work, they will do some damage.

29. Giants of New York (1-5, LW: 27)

I can not explain how Pat Shurmur and Case Keenum were so good with the Vikings last year, but are struggling in their new roles. It's not as if the 2017 Vikings had a perfect offensive situation (good defense and receivers but bad offensive line and no Dalvin Cook for most of the year). It is impossible to believe that both are not good in their roles, because of last season. I'm not sure which one bounces first.

28. San Francisco 49ers (1-5, last week: 32)

The 49ers deserved better Monday night. Aaron Rodgers has just defeated them in the end. But they still played. Kyle Shanahan does a great job putting C. J. Beathard in positions to succeed. It's hard to be overly optimistic about a 1-5 team, but I'm impressed by the way they behaved after Jimmy Garoppolo's injury. The results are not there.

27. Buffalo Bills (2-4, LW: 28)

I do not even know what to do with the fact that during most of the fourth quarter on Sunday, it seemed that the Bills would improve to 3-3 with victories on the road against the Vikings and Texans. I think Sean McDermott is a coach who makes the most of his talent. I also ask him seriously about Nathan Peterman's willing choice as a starting quarterback for a match of the last two years. We are now waiting to see if Josh Allen's elbow injury allows him to start this week.

26. Denver Broncos (2-4, LW: 26)

In Denver, you thought the Broncos would become the 2007 Patriots if they gave Chad Kelly a chance to play quarterback. Let's say Colorado fans really appreciate it a lot. What is more urgent is that I'm not sure that Joseph will survive a defeat against a bad team from Arizona on Thursday night. If the Broncos were so inclined to play, they would have three extra days to move and it's hard to believe that John Elway would stay patient if they fell to 2-5.

25. Houston Texans (3-3, LW: 22)

You will not find many less impressive .500 teams. And this one is tied for first place. If Frank Reich did not do it, Jason Garrett did it and Nathan Peterman did not let go, I'm not sure Texans are not looking for a new coach this week. But that's life in the NFL. Sometimes you hit all the green lights for a moment.

24. Atlanta Falcons (2-4, LW: 24)

It's good to get a win and stay relevant, but it's not like the defense has solved anything. It's hard to see the offensive get enough shots to get this team into the playoffs, no matter how good Matt Ryan and his friends are.

23. Titans of Tennessee (3-3, LW: 19)

A few weeks ago I was buying the Titans. Not anymore. The offensive is horrible right now, and it's not like they do not have talent. I've always believed in Marcus Mariota, even when he experienced difficulties, but I no longer buy his stock.

22. Cleveland Browns (2-3-1, LW: 20)

<p class = "canvas-atom canvas-text Mb (1.0em) Mb (0) – sm Mt (0.8em) – sm" type = "text" content = "That was saying to hear the fourth Baker Mayfield take blame for the Browns' 38-14 loss, although he had an ankle injury when he slipped on a first goal on the field, his receivers lost many passes and the defense gave up a ton big games.

There were a lot of things that went wrong other than Mayfield, but that's what you want your quarterback to say."data-reactid =" 67 "> It was heartening to hear quarterback Baker Mayfield assume responsibility for the 38-14 loss to the Browns, although he injured his ankle after being the victim of A ground drop on the field., His receivers lost many passes and the defense gave up a ton of big games.

There were a lot of things that went wrong other than Mayfield, but that's what you want your quarterback to say.

21. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-3, LW: 16)

Defensive defense coordinator Mike Smith was likely to arrive, but two years ago he was a hot name in the head coach market and the team was happy to appoint him to an extension. Do we believe that Smith has forgotten how to train, or that there are other problems that Smith's dismissal will not solve?

20. Dallas Cowboys (3-3, LW: 23)

I will continue to say it: Dak Prescott was not a very good player but he was never the biggest problem in Dallas. He's still good enough to take Cole Beasley and all the other opponents that the offensive gave him and to play well in a 40-point match against the Jaguars. If you think Prescott is holding back the Cowboys, you have not watched them too closely.

19. Seattle Seahawks (3-3, LW: 21)

The 91-yard day of Doug Baldwin was huge for Seattle. Tyler Lockett has finally regained consistency and if Baldwin has returned to himself, it would give the Seahawks' passing a chance. Baldwin also has a week off to improve his health.

18. Detroit Lions (2-3, LW: 17)

Receiver Kenny Golladay was a revelation, although his talent was evident as a rookie last season. Even with Golden Tate and Marvin Jones, it seems that Lions must play even more on Golladay. He could be special. We will see if he will have more targets after the start.

17. New York Jets (3-3, LW: 25)

Sam Darnold seems to be a very good choice, and I think Chris Herndon could be too. Herndon, an intriguing fourth-round pick in Miami, signed his first career touchdown Sunday. If it continues to grow, it will be a good piece for what appears to be a surprisingly good attack.

16. Miami Dolphins (4-2, LW: 18)

Albert Wilson was a great addition to the free agent: 23 catches, 15.6 yards per catcher and four touchdowns. It's a little surprising that the leaders have never fired more on him.

15. Washington Redskins (3-2, LW: 15)

Of all the teams in first place in the NFL for six weeks, the Redskins could be the ones most people could not name. But it's true, they are all alone in the first place of the NFC East. A home game against the Cowboys on Sunday afternoon will determine whether they will stay in the division race all season.

14. Green Bay Packers (3-2-1, LW: 12)

Fun, exciting victory. But as the Packers retire, they can not feel good. They have not yet set up a full game, except perhaps against the modest Bills at home. Aaron Rodgers heals a lot of ailments, and he did it Monday night, but they must play better than they did.

13. Chicago Bears (3-2, LW: 9)

It's hard to believe that the Bears defense, who had done so well in the first quarter of the season, let Brock Osweiler play them in the fourth quarter and overtime. Kenyan Drake was incredibly lucky on the overtime goal line and still could not win. I do not think it's a sign that the defense is not as good as we thought, but it's a really unfortunate defeat. The playoff teams are finding ways to win games like this.

12. Cincinnati Bengals (4-2, LW: 11)

No solution: it was an overwhelming loss for the Steelers. And now, the Bengals are leaving on the road to face a very good team of Chiefs. It's a difficult turnaround.

11. Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2-1, LW: 14)

Imagine if this last attempt, after the Bengals had scored late to take the lead, had failed. And remember, the Steelers were going to face a quarter and ten, but a defensive maintenance call gave them a first advantage. Instead of a panic on a large scale, the Steelers won the game late and everyone now thinks he's back on track. Never forget how thin the margins are in the NFL.

10. Jacksonville Jaguars (3-3, LW: 8)

Think about it: the Jaguars have selected Leonard Fournette for the fourth time in all, seven choices ahead of Patrick Mahomes. It's far from guaranteed that Mahomes would have developed as he did with the Chiefs. But it is a reminder that the back games at the beginning of the project are often not worth it. Kareem Hunt and Alvin Kamara played in the third round last year, well after Fournette, who failed to stay healthy.

9. Baltimore Ravens (4-2, LW: 13)

The Ravens offensive has lost 34 points this Thursday night to the Bengals. In the other five games, they allowed 3, 14, 14, 12 and 0. There were a lot of suspicious opponents in this sequence, but the Baltimore defense seems to be one of the best in the NFL.

8. Carolina Panthers (3-2, LW: 5)

Recipient D.J. Moore, the team's first choice, lost two fumbles in the first two quarters. But he bounced back with four catches for 59 yards and an 18-yard run. This is a good sign from the rookie. The Panthers still need Moore to play an important role in their passing game.

7. Los Angeles Chargers (4-2, LW: 10)

Philip Rivers gets a lot of praise and love very early in the MVP, but I think it's an important stat: he is tied for 22nd place in the NFL with 32.3 attempts per game, which is inflated by 51 attempts in 1 The leaders. He has thrown it more than 30 times in just two games out of six. Rivers did not have to do everything, so he was very efficient.

6. Philadelphia Eagles (3-3, LW: 7)

The best thing for the Eagles is that the rest of the NFC East is not scary. Thursday night, Philadelphia seemed ready to run.

5. Minnesota Vikings (3-2-1, LW: 6)

Latavius Murray was fantastic in a day of 155 yards on Sunday. That says something about the depths of the Vikings that they can be without Dalvin Cook, and they can just log in to someone like Murray.

4. Saints of New Orleans (4-1, LW: 4)

The buccaneers collapse. The Falcons won Sunday, but they are 2-4 with a bad defense. The Panthers lost a winning match in Washington. Suddenly, the saints look like a big favorite in the south of the NFC.

3. New England Patriots (4-2, LW: 3)

There was so much to love about Sunday night's game, but let's not forget kicker Stephen Gostkowski. He hit all nine kicks (five placements, four extra points) and there is no doubt he hit the winner at the end of the allotted time. There is something to say about a reliable kicker.

2. Kansas City Chiefs (5-1, LW: 2)

I do not want the Chiefs to be dismissed for several reasons: there is no shame in losing last game against New England, and their work is still very impressive. I can not imagine that someone looks at chefs playing Sunday night and thinks less about it. They were good, the Patriots were just a little better at home.

1. Los Angeles Rams (6-0, LW: 1)

I still can not believe that Cooper Kupp was well after being fired as a result of this harness. I thought that he had finished for at least two months. It turns out that Kupp stepped on his MCL and that the Rams are lucky not to have gotten worse playing in the second half. It seems like a very bad decision to let him play in the second half.
