Finished: 3rd Place in the AFC South
2012 Draft Position: 7th
Preseason Ranking: 26
Week 1: Defeated the Tennessee Titans, 16-14
Ranked - 16
The Jags won despite cutting their starting quarterback a few days before their game. Had the Titans come to town ready to play, the outcome of this game would have been far different.
Week 2: Lost at the New York Jets, 32-3
Ranked - 25
Garrard, gone. McCown, benched after a terrible three quarters of play filled with four interceptions and a safety. Welcome to the party, Gabberts. Coach Del Rio needs you to take him to the playoffs if he wants to be coaching the Jaguars next season. But don’t worry. There is no pressure on you.
Week 3: Lost at the Carolina Panthers, 16-10
Ranked - 27
Note to self: Take the blame for mental lapses at the end of games. That is the best way to instill team owners with confidence in your leadership abilities. Signed, Jack Del Rio.
Week 4: Lost to the New Orleans Saints, 23-10
Ranked - 28
The Jaguars have one more win than the Colts, but they seem lifeless compared to Indianapolis.
Week 5: Lost to the Cincinnati Bengals, 30-20
Ranked - 29
It's too early to say that the Jaguars have quit, but they certainly are playing uninspired football.
Week 6: Lost at the Pittsburgh Steelers, 17-13
Ranked - 29 Indiana Jones Style Recap
[Responding to critics after another lackluster outing]
Maurice Jones-Drew: I can only say I'm sorry so many times.
Jacksonville Fans: Well, say it again anyway!
Maurice Jones-Drew: Sorry.
Week 7: Defeated the Baltimore Ravens, 12-7
Ranked - 28
That was an ugly win over the Ravens, but at this stage in the season, the Jags will take them anyway they can get them.
Week 8: Lost at the Houston Texans, 24-14
Ranked - 29
We'll see just how much the Jaguars have left in them this season when they come back from their bye week and face off against the winless Colts. I sure hope a riveting game like that will be shown on TV somewhere.
Week 9: BYE WEEK
Ranked - 29
The Jaguars have little hope of being anything more than spoilers the second half of the season.
Week 10: Defeated the Indianapolis Colts, 17-3
Ranked - 26
Good news for the Jaguars - they get to play the Colts again this season.
Week 11: Lost at the Cleveland Browns, 14-10
Ranked - 27
At least Maurice Jones-Drew is a viable fantasy option, but this offense has nothing else going for it.
Week 12: Lost to the Houston Texans, 20-13
Ranked - 28
New coach. New owners on the horizon. Could a new city be in the works as well?
Week 13: Lost to the San Diego Chargers, 38-14
Ranked - 29
A fired coach. The team up for sale. Despite all that, Jones-Drew continues to put up nice fantasy numbers.
Week 14: Defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 41-14
Ranked - 25
41 points! Sure, it came against the Buccaneers, but still… 41 points!
Week 15: Lost at the Atlanta Falcons, 41-14
Ranked - 27
The Jaguars suffered a good old fashioned butt-kicking against the Atlanta Falcons. With at least one game left against the Colts, the Jaguars can gain some hint of positivity before they shut the doors on a miserable 2011 campaign.
Week 16: Lost at the Tennessee Titans, 23-17
Ranked - 27
Is the season over yet?
Week 17: Defeated the Indianapolis Colts, 19-13
Final Ranking: 27
Tomorrow, the 2011 Carolina Panthers...
