Hays Carlyon’s Jaguars Blog

By: Hays Carlyon I won’t remember where I was when the Jaguars lost at Baltimore 40-14. The team suffered its 13th consecutive loss on Sunday, a franchise record for futility. I will remember where I was when the previously winless New York Jets shocked the Los Angeles Rams 23-20 three hours later. Why? Because that moment might have just delivered the top pick in the draft and the phenom that comes […]

By: Hays Carlyon I’m glad rookie running back James Robinson reached the 1,000-yard rushing milestone on Sunday. Now, shut him down. I’ve seen enough. Robinson’s achievement was the lone highlight in another lousy Sunday, this one more dismal than most even in this atrocious season. Tennessee (9-4) sent the Jaguars to their 12th consecutive loss with a 31-10 drubbing at TIAA Bank Field. Robinson ran for 67 yards and now […]

By: Hays Carlyon I keep waiting for the egg to be laid. I’ll keep waiting. Give credit to Jaguars coach Doug Marrone and his staff. Give credit to the players. The Jaguars are horrible, but no one can accuse them of being checked out on a dismal season. No one is going through the motions or making business decisions. The Jaguars lost their 11th consecutive game on Sunday in another […]

Jaguars GM job has incredible appeal By: Hays Carlyon Jaguars owner Shad Khan is ready to launch a new vision of Jaguars football. His announcement Sunday night that Dave Caldwell has been removed as general manager signaled the embarking of a new era. Caldwell gave the job everything he had. Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough. I’m not going to rehash his eight-year tenure. Obviously, Khan saw what we did. His franchise […]

By: Hays Carlyon The Jaguars stink. They’ve lost 10 consecutive games, setting the franchise record. The losses continued Sunday as Cleveland defeated the Jaguars 27-25 at TIAA Bank Field. The season will be remembered for losing. Fans are cheering for losses to protect the pick. The Jaguars (1-10) currently hold the second-overall pick, which would likely mean the arrival of Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields. Home games are road games. […]

By: Hays Carlyon Jaguars owner Shad Khan has run the franchise for 141 games, counting the playoffs. He’s now lost 100 of them. Khan joined a dubious list becoming the second-fastest owner to his 100th loss on Sunday as the Jaguars fell to Pittsburgh 27-3 at TIAA Bank Field. This loss combined the numbingly expected blend of embarrassment, ineptitude and boring football – staples of the on-field product Khan has […]

By: Hays Carlyon The Jaguars won the street fight. They out hit the Packers. However, Green Bay outscored the Jaguars 24-20 on Sunday at Lambeau Field. Both of those developments were positive for the Jaguars, losers of their last eight games. It pains me to write this, but for the final seven games losing is a good thing for the Jaguars (1-8). The Jaguars might actually get turned around if […]

By: Hays Carlyon The Jaguars have to see more out of Jake Luton. Whether Gardner Minshew’s thumb has healed or not, Jaguars coach Doug Marrone should keep the rookie sixth-rounder in the lineup next week. They will. Marrone said following Sunday’s 27-25 loss to Houston at TIAA Bank Field that Minshew isn’t even throwing yet so there’s no decision to be made. Luton had moments when he struggled, but the […]

By Hays Carlyon Jaguars coach Doug Marrone is ready to get nuts. So, let’s get nuts. I love it. Marrone remains tasked with turning the Jaguars around. The team is 1-6, losers of its last six games with the hardest part of the schedule yet to come. Marrone has this week to reflect and enact massive changes as the Jaguars enjoy their bye. Marrone, 9-26 in his last 35 games, […]
