LONDON – This was rough. And disappointing. Really disappointing.

There seems little more to say about the Jaguars in the immediate aftermath of a 35-16 loss to the Chicago Bears at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium Sunday, but this is the O-Zone Late Night so comment we must and comment we will.

The inbox was irate, disappointed and frustrated throughout the final three quarters Sunday – and it remained that way in the aftermath of a fifth loss in six games. And why not? The Jaguars were dominated in the second quarter Sunday, squandered their final chance to get back in the game in the third quarter and stumbled thereafter. It was bad and it has been bad too often lately.

They're 1-5 and it's only mid-October. Even before Sunday, they needed to win a lot more games than they lost moving forward to save the season. Now, there's no reason to talk about saving the season until they show more signs of being able to do that.

The New England Patriots are up next at Wembley Stadium Sunday. There's a long six days between now and then. Sigh.

Let's get to it …

Mental errors, dropped passes, fumbles, missed assignments, poor tackles – this is not a team ready to contend for anything more than the basement...

So, one not fer the Jaguars, I guess.

Rhino from Clay

Our defense is terrible, from play calling to our secondary. No pressure on the quarterback. Terrible play calling on offense. This team is hard to watch. Time to clean house.

A lot went wrong for the Jaguars Sunday. Too much has gone wrong this season for a team that was built to win – not in the future but this season. I understand frustration. I understand calls for accountability and housecleaning. Seasons like this one has been to date prompt such calls. I get no sense "house cleaning" is imminent in the short term. One and five – and records of the same ilk – and multiple double-digit losses make difficult decisions necessary in the long term.

Colt from Pittsburgh

I know this is an early email. But Gabe Davis has been bad. And that's putting it very, very kindly. He has been really bad in really big moments. 3-0. Hope that drop doesn't come back to hurt them, but knowing Jacksonville it most certainly will. DO BETTER GABE.

This wasn't just an early email, it was the much-ballyhooed, rarely-anticipated, sometimes-witty First Email of the Game – and it came after wide receiver Gabe Davis dropped a potential touchdown pass on the Jaguars' first possession. There was nothing to add. Davis, after signing as an unrestricted free agent from the Buffalo Bills this past offseason, has struggled. Sunday's early drop wasn't his first. He must do better.

Pradeep from Bangalore, India

Hi, John, I am sure you won't post this question. We have 10 playing on our offence playing against 13 defenders. Gabe Davis playing for opposite defence. Dropped an easy touchdown pass.

The premise of this email is silly. Why wouldn't it post it? I like math as much as anyone.

Tom from The Mean Streets of Nocatee

Does Gabe Davis have a bonus based on the number of touchdown passes he drops?

1. I laughed at this.

Glenn from Tampa

False starts, dropped passes, ball security, blocking, blown assignments, bad tackling. It's just bad football, John. How do we get past this? We're told week after week that it's fixable, but I still don't see it getting fixed.

Most things are fixable in professional football because professional football players are supposed to make plays, avoid avoidable mistakes and play well when necessary. Saying it's fixable means nothing if stuff doesn't get fixed. Not enough around the Jaguars is getting fixed these days.

Andrew from Los Angeles, CA

This team is really bad. They cannot stop anybody. Nobody makes a play.

OK.

John from Jax

How come every national TV game for two years they embarrass themselves and all of us?

Because they're not good enough to play well and win in big moments against good teams. I didn't expect that to be the case entering the season. It's hard to say it's not true right now.

Ken from Mainz, Germany

It's time to bench Trevor. I know we're paying him $275 million, but his play is just embarrassing now.

The Jaguars aren't going to bench quarterback Trevor Lawrence, nor should they. He didn't lift his teammates, but he wasn't awful. He didn't play great Sunday, but he didn't differentiate himself from many teammates on that front.

David from Coward, SC

Are we who we are yet?

We're six games into the regular season, and that's close to the time we know a team's identity. If 1-5 and struggling isn't who the Jaguars "are," it's time for them to prove otherwise.
