The Jaguars set a record this afternoon for the lowest total number yards of offense in franchise history with 117. The Jaguars were 0 and 9 on third down conversions. Not even the fact that Maurice Jones-Drew scored his 75th career touchdown can be called a silver lining to today’s performance.

Jessica. What is your opinion of when J Blackmon will become the premier receiver for the Jags?
When he stops making poor off the field decisions and starts focusing 100% on football. We saw him prove last year that he can make plays. He’s got great hands too. But one more strike and he’s out of the league for a year. And it will take a heck of a lot more to come back from missing a year than 4 games….
