Social Media Is Angry After Jaguars’ Heartbreaker

The Jacksonville Jaguars (2-6) suffered an excruciating loss at home on Sunday afternoon, falling 30-27 to the Green Bay Packers on a last-second field goal from former Jaguars kicker Brian McManus. Social media could not hide their disappointment after another brutal defeat.

Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence did some good things, but he also made a lot of big mistakes. An interception and turnover deep in the Packers’ own territory gave the Packers 14 points and led to the loss.

One of the few bright spots for the Jaguars was the continued success of rookie wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. He finished as the team’s leading receiver with three catches for 60 yards and his fourth career touchdown pass.

There were a lot of injuries for the Jaguars in this game and they were dropping like flies, especially in the second half. All three of the team’s top receivers were injured, Christian Kirk, Brian Thomas Jr. and Gabe Davis left the game and did not return.

Two linemen in Ezra Cleveland and Brandon Scherff were injured in the first half. Cornerback Ronald Darby left the game with an injury along with safety. Andre Cisco came out on the final drive of the game.

Kirk was a potential trade candidate for the team, and that doesn’t seem possible going forward.

It was also a very undisciplined game for the Jaguars throughout all four quarters. Eight penalties totaling 59 yards contributed to the loss, including a defensive delay of the play flag that was barely visible. This delay in play would turn the field goal attempt into another first down for the Packers.

When the Jaguars needed stops the most, they couldn’t find them. The Packers extended their lead to four late in the third quarter and immediately gave up an eight-play, 80-yard drive to make it a two-score game.

On the final drive of the game, after the Jaguars tied the game with one minute left, they would allow the Packers to drive down the field with more time and kick a 24-yard field goal as time expired.

The Jaguars’ defense fell apart in key parts of the game, and fans were not happy about it. defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen He commanded that group this season.

The Jaguars hit the road next week to face the Philadelphia Eagles (5-2) and will look to improve some seriously inconsistent aspects of their game during practice this week. Getting the majority of starters healthy will also be an important point of emphasis.
