The OL did definitely give up some pressure, they aren't completely clean in this, but Minshew needs to get rid of the damn ball a lot sooner, even if it's just a throw away.

You sure there was a place to go with the ball?  A few of those “self sacks” no one was open down field when they panned around.   You want him to just force the rock?

I’m thinking he doesn’t have the arm strength to fit it in and limits his reads appropriately. I had no problem with losing this game.

I don't like to see the Jags continue to lose. But like I mentioned in the game day thread yesterday, this loss didn't look/feel as bad as the other ones. I know that isn't much if really any comfort to many Jags fans at this point. But the Jags did look much more competitive and after going down by multiple scores early on fought back and got themselves in that game. And was leading at points in the game. And I think that the Chargers are one of the better teams with a bad record. They have lost multiple close games this year and could very easily be like 4-2 or even 5-2, if not for things like coaching mistakes.

Justin has been playing well, though didn't get his first win until yesterday. But that isn't because the Chargers haven't been competitive. A loss is still a loss, but this one wasn't as bad as the ones against the teams like the Lions and Bengals. Two teams I think are worse off than the Chargers. This loss reminded me more of the Titans loss.

29 points is often enough to win a game. If the Jags played more like they did yesterday, (but have less of a sluggish start) they probably could win more games this season. They need to play with urgency all throughout the game.
