5 for 5 in RZ.

I've said it a number of times. I don't know if it's Nielsen, the system, the players or all of it but that's as bad as you'll see from an NFL team. It's not all on the D and I get they've probably quit like everyone else but that's damn embarrassing numbers.

From a Lions fan perspective, I was surprised that the Jaguars didn't blitz much more in this game, based on what was transpiring in the game.

The way he played our guys...

There was a drive the Lions went on when JHA wasn't even on the field for 4 straight plays!!!  I mean, unless JHA was under concussion protocol, I have no idea why JHA isn't on the field 90% of the time.

A related thought is from the several Jaguars games I watched this season, one player the Jaguars greatly miss is DE/ Edge Arden Key. I thought that was the case last season but even more this season. IMHO, he was a huge reason why the Jaguars went on a late season surge in the 2022 season.

We can't rush the passer or tackle the runner so we make up for it by not covering the receivers. It's a lose, lose, lose proposition.

I completely agree D6 but blitzing just isn't something we do this year. Its a lot of 4 man rush then everyone else in coverage. The D has been a disaster zone this year and they have their share of the mess we're in but they just don't seem to have anything they are good at to even build from. 

As flsprtsgod says, we can't get pressure, can't cover even with the extra guys so it's a pick your poison D. Well get beaten whatever we do but when your getting steamrolled drive after drive just try something. No ones going to complain if that goes for a TD.
