By Hays Carlyon If the 2025 Jaguars season ends in total collapse, like the 2023 campaign, we will all easily be able to trace the moment where it began. Sunday, Nov. 8 in Houston right around 3 p.m. That’s roughly when the Texans mounted a 19-point comeback to beat the Jaguars 36-29. Make no mistake: this was one of the most stunning losses in franchise history. A chance to move […]

By Hays Carlyon This first crisis of the Liam Coen Era has arrived. The Jaguars are still in a good spot at 4-3. However, Sunday’s embarrassing 35-7 loss to the Los Angeles Rams at London’s Wembley Stadium exposed the challenges the first-year coach faces heading into the team’s bye week. I’m not going to rehash the game. You watched it. Drops, penalties and soft play doomed the Jaguars. So, what […]

By Hays Carlyon The Jaguars have consistently been the more physical team in their first five games of the season. That ended Sunday. Seattle showed up and whipped the Jaguars physically. The Seahawks defensive front seven vs. the Jaguars offensive line was especially lopsided. The Jaguars allowed the Seahawks to sack quarterback Trevor Lawrence seven times in a 20-12 defeat Sunday at EverBank Stadium. In all, the Jaguars ran 68 […]

By Hays Carlyon All that was missing was legendary ESPN broadcaster Chris Berman belting out the funny “Whoop, Whoop” sound effects. Let’s set the scene. Chiefs 28, Jaguars 24. The Jaguars are at the Kansas City 1-yard line with 30 seconds to play. Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence gets stepped on by right guard Patrick Mekari as he takes the snap from center. Lawrence stumbles and then falls to the ground. […]

By Hays Carlyon Steal the signals. Steal the show. Steal the victory. Jaguars 26, 49ers 21. That was sweet. Brilliant first-year Jaguars coach Liam Coen, aka The Scourge of San Francisco, is proving an old football adage. Once you hire the right coach, historical trends mean nothing. Sure, the Jaguars had historically struggled on the West Coast. Yes, San Francisco had won the last five meetings in the series. Yes, […]

By Hays Carlyon This was the Josh Hines-Allen game. I’ll certainly remember this performance for a long time, as I’m sure many of you will. In a game the Jaguars had to have for a multitude of reasons, Hines-Allen showed up early and often in leading the Jaguars to a 17-10 win over AFC South rival Houston on Sunday at EverBank Stadium. Hines-Allen started the game by knocking Texans quarterback […]

By Hays Carlyon The Jaguars scored 30 points in the first two games of last season – losses to Miami and Cleveland. They’ve scored 53 through two games this season. This season’s Jags have gained 778 total yards through two games. Last year’s group managed 590 yards. Last season, the Jaguars had five third-down conversions over the first two games combined. This season, the Jaguars already have 11. The Jaguars […]

By Hays Carlyon First-year Jaguars coach Liam Coen delivered in his debut. Most importantly, he won: The Jaguars handled Carolina 26-10 on Sunday at EverBank Stadium. But there were so many encouraging layers to the victory. The team was ready to play and be aggressive. The Jaguars won the toss and Coen elected to take the ball. The decision led to a 13-play, 55-yard drive that covered 55 yards and […]

By Hays Carlyon The preseason is over and it’s time for our Jaguars 53-man projection. I’ve never cut a roster this lopsided with 22 offensive players and 28 on defense. That will balance out more once the waiver claims are settled and hurt players can revert to injured reserve. OFFENSE (22 players) Quarterback Who: Trevor Lawrence and Nick Mullens. Why: I would definitely stick to just two on the 53 […]
