It has to get fixed or all of the good vibes of starting 4-1 will soon be extinguished. These Jaguars aren’t built to overcome self-inflicted setbacks like 10 false starts, six illegal shifts (five declined), two offensive offsides and, new to the party against Seattle, two illegal formations.

Coen will have the long flight to London Monday night/Tuesday morning to think about his approach heading into Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams. Nothing should be off the table, whether it be pulling a player after a penalty (as unlikely as that would be) or simplifying the “undisciplined operation.”
The season is riding on it.
