A lot of Jacksonville Jaguars fans and media claimed this was going to be the biggest home game in years. Many boisterously proclaimed a benchmark win against the Tennessee Titans.
We played horribly, to put it mildly. Here are 5 totally legitimate reasons why the Jaguars lost.
1. Doug Marrone’s below-the-belt attire earlier in the week

Jesus, man. Doug Marrone with the mom jeans is total Jaguars fashion. Mind you, this is now just a part of a laundry list of blunders from an organization that has a recent history of being actually bad at fashion. We’ve got two toned helmets and honey mustard Color Rush jerseys, everyone. Now our head coach is rocking the mom jeans.
Hey, @Wrangler, hire this man and get him on a commercial with Brett Favre.
2. Jimmy picked the Titans to win
Of course he did.
3. Dave watched Josh Allen the night before

Oh, you think Dave isn’t going to be back next year?
Yeah, about that. How many of you said that last year when we were all completely sure the Jaguars would clean house?
Louisville played Clemson in a prime time game last night, a perfect chance to watch QB Lamar Jackson under the lights in a big time environment. Instead, the Jaguars attended Josh Allen’s game against Oregon — a radically different approach than when they completely hid their interest in Blake Bortles in the 2014 draft.
The fact that the Jaguars scouted and attended a Josh Allen game before a Lamar Jackson game directly correlates to our loss against Tennessee.
As if it couldn’t get any worse.
4. Johnathan Cyprien was OUT for the game
Who else would’ve taken comically bad angles to help our offense out?
And finally...
5. More snaps for Paul Posluszny
Expect more snaps for Paul Posluszny according to @JohnOehser.
