Why Los Angeles Chargers Will Win the AFC Wild Card

The offense has everything moving.

Justin Herbert was hurt early in the year, the receiving corps wasn’t quite right for most of the second half, and it’s been a bit hit-or-miss at times to find any consistency. But now – with the possible exception of Mike Williams and his banged up back – the O should be ready to wing it around.

The Jacksonville defense does a whole lot of bending without breaking, and statistically it’s just fine … against teams without quarterbacks.

Houston couldn’t move the ball against the Jaguar D. Tennessee didn’t mess with the passing game with Josh Dobbs under center, and the Jets were the Jets.

Dak Prescott didn’t have any real problems getting the passing attack going, and neither did Jared Goff, Patrick Mahomes, or Derek Carr – sky point on his Raiders career.

Herbert will spread it around and shouldn’t have too many problems moving the chains against a Jacksonville defense that’s awful on third downs, the Charger D is great at coming up with takeaways, and …

Why Los Angeles Will Win

Now these are the Jacksonville Jaguars we were expecting from the start.

This was supposed to be one of the lead dogs in the Tank For Trevor (Lawrence) race, but they screwed it up with a win over Indianapolis that now appears to be a total aberration.

The offense has stalled with fewer than 17 points in three of the last four games, and the defense has become a disaster at allowing big plays down the field. Jacksonville allows a whopping 8.2 yards per throw, and Justin Herbert and the Charger offense are rolling through the air.

Why Jacksonville Will Win

It’s not like the Chargers are winning, either.

They’ve played in two overtime games, and they’ve been interesting and entertaining, but they’re not good at winning with four straight losses. And why? This plays like a team that doesn’t know how to win. That’s why happens when you have a rookie quarterback going against Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady and Drew Brees.

Jacksonville is good enough offensively on third downs to keep things moving, and while the team has problems with the whole winning thing, Gardner Minshew is fearless when it comes to try making the big throw.

Fantasy Football Player To Watch

TE Hunter Henry, Los Angeles
The Jaguars have the 30th ranked defense against tight ends, and now they’re about to be picked apart again. Henry has been targeted at least seven times in four of the last five games. With Keenan Allen not at 100%, and receiving threat Austin Ekeler still out, Henry will get increased targets and should flirt with 100 yards and a TD.

What’s Going To Happen

It’ll be a fun and wild shootout between two bad football teams. Jacksonville will open it up enough to get the passing game rolling, but Herbert and the Charger offense will blow up for over 400 yards with all of the top targets getting to have some fun.

DJ Chark week-to-week with ankle injury, Ronnie Harrison ready to return from concussion

DJ Chark Jr. will be week-to-week after injuring his ankle Sunday against the Chargers.

As expected, Jacksonville Jaguars safety Ronnie Harrison will be good to take the field for Week 15’s game against the Oakland Raiders after missing the team’s last two games. Doug Marrone told the media that the second-year safety cleared the concussion protocol in Monday’s conference call, which is a big positive as the Jags’ defense struggled in the backfield Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers.

[lawrence-related id=27329]

Marrone also provided an update on receiver DJ Chark, who was seen leaving the locker room in a boot and on a scooter after sustaining an injury Sunday against the Chargers.

Harrison sustained his injury in the first quarter of the Jags’ Week 12’s game against the Tennessee Titans after making a tackle on tight end MyCole Pruitt. As a result of the injury, the Jags thrusted Andrew Wingard into Harrison’s role, giving the undrafted rookie two starts.

Chark, on the other hand, sustained his injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s loss to the Chargers while defensive back Jaylen Watkins was making a tackle on him. In the process of trying to get extra yardage and fight through the tackle, Chark seemingly injured his ankle and was helped to the locker room after being ruled questionable on the night.

Abry Jones says fans who believe Jags have quit shouldn’t attend until 2020

At just a little under 24 hours past Sunday’s beatdown to the Los Angeles Chargers, fans of the Jacksonville Jaguars are still steaming about the team’s performance – and rightfully so. The embarrassing 45-10 loss was the Jags’ fourth of 20 points …

At just a little under 24 hours past Sunday’s beatdown to the Los Angeles Chargers, fans of the Jacksonville Jaguars are still steaming about the team’s performance — and rightfully so. The embarrassing 45-10 loss was the Jags’ fourth of 20 points or more within the last five weeks, which has led some fans to question the team’s effort.

After the game, one of the Jags’ top locker room leaders in defensive tackle Abry Jones had a message for those fans. He insisted that the team hadn’t quit and suggested that the fans who thought otherwise simply not show up until 2020.

I don’t know that it’s fair to say the players have quit, but one thing is clear: the Jags simply aren’t good and are extremely hard to watch at this point. That applies to the jobs that both the players and coaches are doing.

Atop the list of struggling coaches would definitely have to be defensive coordinator Todd Wash, who seems to be getting outmatched increasingly by the week. While he was without two starters in Myles Jack and Ronnie Harrison, the unit gave up a ridiculous total of 525 yards to Philip Rivers and company. A majority of those yards came from one person as Austin Ekler racked up 213 total yards on the day. It got to a point in the game where it looked like no player on the roster wanted to tackle him and he was pretty much the only weapon the Chargers needed.

On the offensive end, the Jags weren’t able to get much done either. Some of their struggles have been due to poor offensive line play. The unit has made it extremely difficult for Leonard Fournette to get going, which then causes John DeFilippo to struggle with play-calling. In Sunday’s game, the unit was only able to garner 10 points despite the change behind center, which is certainly something fans had a hard time sitting through just as they did while watching the defense get annihilated.

Luckily, the Jags only have one more home game for local fans to endure. They will be on the road the next two weeks, traveling to the Oakland Raiders and Atlanta Falcons. However, the season finale will take place at TIAA Bank Field against the Indianapolis Colts, but based off how the team has played as of late, it’s looking like there won’t be a strong crowd — and understandably so.

Leonard Fournette discusses frustrating losses after college success

Following the 45-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, Fournette expressed his frustration with the team’s performances of late.

In a Week 14 battle against the 4-8 Los Angeles Chargers, the Jacksonville Jaguars suffered what might have been their most embarrassing loss in franchise history, giving up 45 points. The loss gave the Jaguars their fifth straight loss of 17 points or more and both players and fans have become frustrated with the team’s performance this season.

Despite a disappointing season, however, two Louisiana State alums on the team have certainly played some of their best ball. Receiver D.J. Chark has taken the league by storm, bringing in 67 balls for 956 yards and eight touchdowns.

Against the Chargers, Chark again was the Jaguars’ best offensive player. The second-year wide out caught nine balls for 75 yards, continuing to prove he belongs as the Jaguars No. 1 target. Unfortunately, the game brought more bad news as it was reported that Chark left the stadium in a walking boot.

Teammate Leonard Fournette’s season has been just as impressive as Chark’s. In the first quarter, Fournette broke the 1,000-yard rushing mark on the season and is now just one yard shy of his season record. Fournette is currently third in the NFL in yards from scrimmage, just four yards shy of 1,500 on the season.

While Fournette has probably had his best season yet, Jacksonville has struggled mightily, maybe now more than ever. Following the game, Fournette expressed his frustration with the team’s performances of late and went into details about his own fight with the losses.

 

One thing is clear, it is time for some form of change whether that is staff, personnel, or play-calling. Jacksonville is in dire need of change and a leader. The team looks undetermined and is giving up yardage in bulk on busted overages and easy completions for the opposing quarterbacks.

We will see what the Jaguars’ future holds in the coming weeks, but for now, the fans must endure another losing season on the banks of the St. Johns River. Maybe they can put up a better fight against the Oakland Raiders next week on a trip to the West Coast, but ultimately time will tell.

Report: DJ Chark leaves locker room with boot and scooter after loss to Chargers

The Jags could have a big injury on their hands involving their No. 1 receiver DJ Chark Jr.

The Jacksonville Jaguars not only suffered a tough loss at the hands of the Los Angeles Chargers, but they could have a big injury to deal with afterward. Per ESPN beat reporter Mike DiRocco, receiver DJ Chark was seen leaving the locker room in a protective boot while using a scooter.

Chark sustained the injury around the six-minute mark of the fourth quarter after catching a pass from rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew II and trying to advance the ball upfield. Chargers defensive back Jaylen Watkins made a tackle on him and it appeared as though Chark injured his ankle due to making the extra effort for more yards. The trainers came to look at him on the field afterward and he limped to the sideline. He then was helped to the locker room and didn’t return with a questionable ruling.

Chark has been one of the Jags’ top playmakers this season and casual fans have also taken notice to his solid season, too. He was on his way to a 1000-yard season (finished with 956 Sunday), but it appears he may have to miss some time with just three games left. Then again, if the injury is severe enough the Jags might as well sit him for the season as the playoffs aren’t within reach.

Jags Week 14 inactives: Safety Ronnie Harrison to sit vs. Chargers

Jags safety Ronnie Harrison was close to returning from his Week 12 concussion, but will be held out against the Los Angeles Chargers Sunday.

For the second consecutive week, Jacksonville Jaguars safety Ronnie Harrison won’t be active as the team takes on the Los Angeles Chargers Sunday. The second-year safety seemingly hasn’t been cleared to return from the concussion he sustained Week 12 against the Tennessee Titans, so the Jags will roll with Andrew Wingard once again in his place.

The remainder of the Jags’ inactives against the Chargers are as follows:

It appeared as though Harrison had a chance to play after practicing Friday on a limited basis and being ruled questionable, but they instead will look to get him back healthy Week 15.

The other player to surface in the status column of Friday’s injury report, Seth DeValve, will also be inactive Sunday. He’s currently in the process of returning from an oblique injury that has sidelined him since before the Jags’ Week 11 game against the Indianapolis Colts. He was ruled doubtful after practicing on a limited basis Friday, so it appears he’s closing in on a return soon, too.

As for the Chargers’ inactives, they had one notable surface on their list in starting linebacker Denzel Perryman.

The rest of their inactives are as follows:

4 Jaguars to watch on defense vs. Chargers

The Jags will need their defense to step up if they are to defeat the Chargers Sunday, making Yannick Ngakoue a key player to watch.

The Jacksonville Jaguars’ chances to make the playoffs are slim, but they at least want to go out with a bang this month. They will have a chance to end their four-game losing streak against the Los Angeles Chargers this Sunday but will need some help from their defense, which has looked like a shell of themselves as of late.

Here are four players who the Jags will need to step up come Sunday if they are to defeat the Chargers, who are also looking to end a losing streak of their own:

LB Donald Payne

Donald Payne played lights out while starting in Myles Jack’s place Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Bucs. He was able to accumulate 13 total tackles and a sack and will now be the starter at middle linebacker for the remainder of the season because Jack was placed on injured reserve this week. 

With Jack having a terrible showing in the middle this year, it’s unknown if he’ll play there next year, especially with the possibility of the coaching staff being let go. That said, Payne can make his case to start in the middle with a strong day against the Chargers and beyond.

Chargers vs. Jaguars: 3 causes for concern against Los Angeles

There are a lot of concerns for the Jags heading into Week 14, but the pass rushing duo of Bosa and Ingram should be atop the list.

The Jacksonville Jaguars 2019 season has been a forgettable one and most fans have been anticipating its end. The Los Angeles Chargers’ season has been equally disappointing, however, most tend to think they have a better chance to win Sunday’s game between them and the Jags.

With a 7-3 all-time record against the Jags and a better overall team than Jacksonville, there are several concerns we have here at Jags Wire for Week 14’s game. Here are three of our biggest concerns as they will look to end a four-game skid this Sunday:

The Chargers pass rushing duo of Nick Bosa and Melvin Ingram

The Jags will be up against one of the fiercest passing defenses in football as the Chargers only allow an average of 199.3 passing yards a game. That’s good for fourth in the league, which means the Jags could struggle to find guys like DJ Chark Jr. and Dede Westbrook through the air.

Part of the reason for that is because of the dynamic duo they have as pass rushers in Melvin Ingram and Joey Bosa, both of whom have grades of 77.9 and 86.2, respectively, via Pro Football Focus. The two will enter Sunday’s game with a combined total of 14 sacks and will be looking to get after rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew II.

The most concerning part about going up against the Chargers pass rush is how Cam Robinson is playing at the moment as he hasn’t been overly impressive. Jawaan Taylor could also have issues against the dynamic pair as he’s had issues with penalties and leads the league in the category with 13.

This issue brings me to my next topic of concern.

Jags list TE Seth Devalve as doubtful, safety Ronnie Harrison as questionable vs. Chargers

The Jacksonville Jaguars released their final injury report for Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers, and just two players surfaced in the status column. Those two players were safety Ronnie Harrison (concussion), who was ruled questionable and Seth Devalve (oblique), who was ruled doubtful.

Harrison missed the Jags’ last game against the Tampa Bay Bucs after sustaining a concussion in the first-quarter of the game prior against the Tennessee Titans. He didn’t practice on Wednesday or Thursday, but was limited Friday.

DeValve, on the other hand, hasn’t played since before the Jags’ bye week. He sustained an oblique injury heading into the Jags’ Week 11 game against the Indianapolis Colts and hasn’t played in a game since. He was limited Friday, but it feels like the Jags are unlikely to push him at this point. He has a better chance to return later down the road if anything.

The remainder of the players on the Jags’ injury report were full participants, including notables DJ Chark, Dede Westbrook, Calais Campbell, A.J. Bouye, Donald Payne and Brandon Linder.
