The Jacksonville Jaguars winning ways have come to a short end.
After securing a win in London against the Miami Dolphins in Week 6, the Jaguars were brought quickly back down to earth as they suffered a blowout defeat against the Seattle Seahawks by the score of 31-7. The game featured backup quarterback Geno Smith making his first start since 2016 and earning his first win since 2014. Starting quarterback Russell Wilson was out with an injured finger, and the Jags could not take advantage of the new quarterback situation.
The loss keeps the Jags in third place, just ahead of the 1-6 Houston Texans in the AFC South standings. Things will not get any easier as they will face the AFC East-leading Buffalo Bills in TIAA Bank Field.
While the high of the Jaguars’ London victory has worn off, here are the Twitter reactions from the Jaguars and Seahawks Week 8 matchup:
Jaguars LB Myles Jack: “This is humiliating. … This is embarrassing.”

Miserable performance by the #Jaguars. Utterly embarrassing thus far.

"This is not something that anybody wants to be a part of as far as going out there and putting that product on the field. We have to be better."

J-Rob was here already. Trevor was a gift and no-brainer. Outside of RB and QB, this team needs players ar every other position group. Really nothing to show for picks and cap space.

I want everyone to see this:
Jacksonville Jaguars fans deserve better.
Us fans as a whole are more more more passionate than the team as of today's game.
S/O to each and everyone who goes on these road football and still pour all of your hearts out.

"One thing I want to say: Trevor Lawrence is a great player. He just has to stick with it… He's going to have a great career."

I don’t think you’ll find a worse coaching staff in the league than what’s currently happening in Jacksonville. The Jaguars looked totally unprepared for any football activity, and that lies on the staff

Former #NFL DB Adam Archuleta shredding the #Jaguars defense on CBS:
“I don’t know what’s going on in Jacksonville. Assignment errors, coverage busts, it’s too easy. They can’t cover.”
Embarrassing.
— Andrew Gibson (@1010XLAG) October 31, 2021
A 2-5 football team being quarterbacked by Geno Smith is flat out humiliating the Jaguars. Jacksonville is embarrassing themselves.
— Ryan Green (@RyanGreen1010XL) October 31, 2021
NFL teams will get caught once or twice a year with 12 men while trying to make a sub. Jags get caught every other week with 12 men in formation on defense or 12 players in the offensive huddle. It's inexplicable. It's inexcusable.

I can’t even get mad at Shad. He tried to get something wild and get a splash hire lol he didn’t know this guy would suck
