For the Jacksonville Jaguars fans hoping to see any signs of progress against one of the best teams in the AFC on Sunday, they were left sorely disappointed. The team suffered their worst loss in years in Week 17 against the New England Patriots, falling 50-10 in a rookie duel between Trevor Lawrence and Mac Jones.
Jones had a great day as the Jacksonville defense gave up 50 points for the first time since 2015, and the offense couldn’t respond as Lawrence tossed three interceptions and the running game was virtually non-existent. This game was never even close, and it was perhaps a new low moment in a season that hasn’t had many positives to speak of.
With a loss next week to the Indianapolis Colts, the Jags would lock up the first overall pick once again, and that seems like the most likely scenario at this point. As a disappointing season hits rock bottom, here’s what Twitter had to say.
How many players on Jags roster today won’t be playing in NFL next year? Yet Baalke is supposed to be retained?

Perspective: The Bengals picked Joe Burrow #1 a year ahead of Jacksonville taking Trevor. They're currently leading KC in a game that clinches the NFC North. The only way the Jags can possibly do anything close to that is new blood top to bottom.

The Jaguars drop 42 passes a game.

Jax folks, the Jaguars just gave up a 50-burger while Trent Baalke's entire FA process played out in front of them …
how you feeling?

This isn't a great Patriots team but it shows just how far behind the Jaguars are in terms of just being competitive. Not winning the division. Not competing for a playoff spot. Just being competitive.

That was probably the most complete game the Jaguars played all year.
Offense: completely trash
Defense: completely trash
Specials: completely trash
Coaching: completely trash— Dilla (@E_Dilla) January 2, 2022
I hate you @Jaguars

It's not that the #Jaguars lose. It's the fact that they're not even competitive.

the @Jaguars are 14-50 since being in the AFC championship in 2017, #FireBaalke #firekhan #jaguarssuck

Seriously starting to consider if letting Keenan McCardell go for Sanjay Lal was maybe the worst coaching transaction the Jaguars made last offseason

The mistakes Jaguars receivers make week-in-and-week-out are not even rookie mistakes, they're practice squad first practice of the year mistakes. Just inexcusable.

The #Jaguars are going to lose 15 games in two consecutive seasons.

Urban was right. The jaguars are some losers

The performance of the backups and role players is a testament to how poorly he constructed his roster. Truly not a single thing for him to hang his hat on this year outside of what, Tyson Campbell? https://t.co/bdngUCd3tV

jaguars can't retain any coach or exec associated with urban meyer man

Just imaging the person running the Jaguars right now (general manager) actually interviewing coaches. I wouldn't take the interview either.

Laquon Treadwell is the jaguars best WR.

Is Trevor Lawrence bad because the Jaguars are bad or are the Jaguars bad because Trevor Lawrence is bad? 🤔
