This Jags team is on the precipice of a complete meltdown. Wouldn't be shocked to see multiple ejections again.

Jacksonville was such a trendy pick to take a big step forward this season.

This is way the Jaguars respond after owner Shad Khan spoke to the team on Monday? Still a lot of time left but this team looks completely overmatched by a 3-4 Titans team.

So not NFL related but people here are football fans so I think it may be appreciated.

I turned off this stupid NFL game and I'm getting my football fix watching Pitt play Va Tech. Pitt just ran a reverse from about the VT 10 yard line and scored a TD. But the interesting part is that their left tackle ended up with the ball.

I've watched a lot of football but I've never see a reverse to the left tackle. What a cool play.

McDaniels is sitting at home thinking "wait, Solder can run a little...."

Welcome to Blake Bortles' time to shine: When he's behind by multiple scores. Since the beginning of last season, 161 of his 391 fantasy points have come when his Jaguars were trailing by double-digit points on the scoreboard.

So he's the A-Rod of fantasy football.

I have to be one of the biggest remaining Gus Bradley fan boys, but there's something seriously wrong with this team. I don't know if firing him now would change anything, but it might help wake this team up. I read somewhere that Khan's organizational philosophy is to wait until the end of the season to fire coaches/management, but he has to be tempted at this point.

Never thought I would say this about the Titans, but they need to treat the rest of this night like a preseason game. Go vanilla. Save your trick plays. Don't do anything you might want to use against a team that is actually trying to win.

The Jaguars are a mess. There's just no other way to describe what we just saw in the first half against the Titans. The offense was non-functional, the defense got shredded and the result is a 27-0 deficit. It may be the final thing that dooms head coach Gus Bradley, too. Owner Shad Khan spoke to the team on Monday and they responded with their worst half of football in two years. Significant changes must be made and they may come as soon as tomorrow.

This is already hard to watch.
Because both teams suck so bad, or because both teams uniforms look like shit and it's tough on your eyes?

You need to be more specific for those of us who aren't watching, but enjoy reading the game threads for the comments.

I do give you credit for watching this total and utter shitshow though.

Imagine being an actual fan of either of these train wrecks.

The NFL feels like it's in its supernova stage. A fantasy and gambling fueled burnout of the matter and energy it has accumulated over its lifetime, soon to collapse under its own mass into a gigantic black hole of suck that cannot even be watched directly.

Probably should go watch my South Park episode on DVR.

'Member when NFL games used to be good?
'Member when there weren't games on Thursday?
'Member when they didn't bother to put shitty teams on national TV?
'Member the 90s?

Whatever convinced them to put bad teams on these prime-time games is going to be defeated by the poor ratings. My guess is that's only a part of the problem but it's easy to fix.

So Pats, Seahawks, Steelers, Packers fans should get ready for a lot of evening games next year...

Unfortunately, another one of Roger's shitty decisions was to mandate EVERY team, no matter how bad, gets to play Thursday night to give everyone exposure, and also spread around the pain. Lucky for us as consumers.
