29. Jacksonville Jaguars 2-5 (29)

How bad has this season been for the Jacksonville Jaguars? Well, the fact that Jacksonville was trailing the Tennessee Titans 27-0 at one point on Thursday shows just how rough this year has been, and it looks like the madness is just getting underway.

As if Gus Bradley being on the hot seat wasn’t already enough pressure, the Jaguars made the decision to fire offensive coordinator Greg Olson shortly after the team’s recent loss to the Titans. When looking at all of the weapons Blake Bortles has to work with, there’s really no excuse for a team like Jacksonville to be performing as bad as they have been in the first half of the 2016 season.

Let’s not forget Bortles was the same quarterback that was supposed to reach the next level this season after throwing for 4,428 yards to go along with 35 touchdowns in his second season. Firing the offensive coordinator may have worked for the Buffalo Bills earlier in the season, but the chances of the Jaguars turning their season around seems highly unlikely for this 2-5 team.

Not to mention, the upcoming games against the Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans won’t make things any easier.
