The Jacksonville Jaguars’ winning feeling only lasted a week as the team immediately returned to the loss zone with a completely embarrassing 35-16 loss to the Chicago Bears in England.

Literally everything went wrong, and now the Jags are in wholesale mode, having released Roy Robertson-Harris just a year after signing him to a contract extension.

It’s hard to be positive because for every step forward there seems to be five steps back for this year’s team.

WINNER

Evan Engram

I felt like there had to be a winner this week, Evan Engram. In his first game back from injury, Engram had a team-best 10 catches for 102 yards. He caught all ten of his targets and was a frequent target for quarterback Trevor Lawrence. At least Engram is healthy and can help move the ball. And he can catch, that seems to be a problem here.

LOSER

The Jacksonville Jaguars

At this point there is little need to rehash what we all woke up early on Sunday and saw. The Jaguars look as disjointed as possible and the team’s starting security speaks to the team itself quitting. Any glimmer of hope that arose after a shaky win against the corpse of Joe Flacco was dashed when a rookie quarterback set every possible franchise record against the Jags’ defense. Caleb Williams is already looking like he should be, and Lawrence is standing on the sideline wondering why his receivers just can’t catch him. The Jags are playing another rookie quarterback this weekend and it’s hard to believe at this point that the results won’t be similar.

Trevor Lawrence

As was evident on Twitter this year, there are many box score watchers who speak disparagingly of Lawrence. Some of this is justified, of course, but most of it is not. Especially after Sunday. The only real blemish on Lawrence’s demise was a forced hero ball pick he had to throw with the Jags down by 18 points. He took three sacks that you might argue he should get out of, but the guy is literally doing everything he can. This team is projected to be the most talented unit the Jags have ever assembled around the former No. 1 overall pick.

And his unit was outclassed by the grouping of another No. 1 overall pick. And that reflects…

Trent Baalke

We let Baalke cook. And he invented absolutely nothing. This squad is obviously not competitive in any way. Ronald Darby was absolutely disastrous and should be an improvement over Darious Williams. Drafting Devin Lloyd resulted in more negative plays than positive, and the team traded RRH for him with over $10 million in dead money. Antonio Johnson can’t play, Andre Cisco looks lost, Travis Etienne can’t stay on the field, Arik Armstead is crawling around the field, and Brenton Strange has probably just committed another procedural penalty as you read this. It is a cacophony of misfortune. There really is one man to blame for everything, and that’s the same man who was out of the NFL for years after doing another bad job at his last stop.

Gabe Davis

The same box score observers who hate Lawrence probably saw Davis’ final numbers and thought he played well. He didn’t. In fact, he actively cost the Jaguars the game despite catching the team’s only two touchdowns. The same guy who scored two goals on Sunday was one of the main reasons the team lost. If that’s not the typical Jaguar scenario…

About half of the Jags’ remaining roster

With RRH gone, the dominoes could continue to fall as the Jags move contracts and assets to teams that are actually trying to win. Names like Christian Kirk and Etienne are likely to be thrown around. Cisco and someone like Cam Robinson could also be next. These guys are losers in this scenario because they were brought to Jacksonville for one reason: to win. The Jags have had a miraculous playoff run with most of the players they currently have, and with each passing day that run seems to be even more miraculous. Maybe some of these guys can win elsewhere because it didn’t work out in Duval.

Ryan Nielson

For the first few weeks of the season, it looked like the hiring of Ryan Nielson was a slam dunk. The Jags held the Miami Dolphins and Cleveland Browns to a combined 38 points and gave themselves a chance on defense against the Houston Texans. But then when you consider the 37-point loss to the Buffalo Bills and Sunday’s atrocity, Nielsen becomes much more worrisome. He’s a guy who covers men, but it’s clear he doesn’t have the people suited to that mode. Why doesn’t he change? Why is he switching defensive tackles as edge rushers and taking players like Travon Walker off the field? Why can’t Lloyd still diagnose run fit or can’t Cisco address it? These issues fall on the defensive side of the ball and ultimately the Jags’ first-year DC. He won’t be fired, that’s almost certain, but there needs to be some sort of conversation or accusation with that side of the ball. The Jags rank 31st in total defense. The Jags are dead last against the pass. The team is No. 9 in rush defense, but that doesn’t mean much when teams know they can overpower you. The mustache was fun in the off-season. It’s not fun anymore. None of that is.
