It wasn't until the 4th quarter when they just unleashed their pass rushers did they start hitting home consistently.
I understand starting Blake in London but I think this offense would run a lot smoother with Kessler. They're not going to become the Rams but the Jags aren't asking for that. They're asking to limit turnovers (Blake can't do that) and sustain drives to help with field position (Blake can't do that).
I thought the oline did well until the last drive before halftime. Once we had the clock to our backs and they knew we were going to throw (and pretty much the rest of the game) or oline was toast. But for the first 4 or 5 drives of the game I thought the oline held up admirably.

This is what made watching so difficult. You saw the coaches taking an approach that balanced out a hurting Oline and then it just kept fizzling with drops, fumbles and pure inability to execute.

Yeah I would agree with that. I would say our oline easily outplayed theirs until it became a one sided game.
