Reply to The Jaguars 27-point comeback against the Chargers on Saturday night is the largest comeback in NFL history for a team that didn't force a single turnover. The Chargers won the turnover battle 5-0. by B0rtles

Everybody is blaming the defense but this is clearly on the chargers offense.

We couldn’t score except on multiple short fields. Then, we couldn’t even garner enough first downs to run down the clock with a 4 possession lead, let alone score the 4 points required to win it. The defense is going to break at some point when the offense gets THAT many possessions.

I can see that. Doesn’t change the fact that adding an extra game with an opponent you wouldn’t have otherwise played could have ended differently especially when the lions had the tiebreaker. Plus giving one bye instead of two means more teams are playing up until the end of the season. It absolutely has a much higher chance of happening with 7 per side.

It wasn’t just 17 points off turnovers. It was 17 points on drives that started in the red zone. They had 3 drives go for a total of 35 yards and scored 17 points on those 3 drives. Outside of that, the offense put up 13 points. This game is mostly on the offense.

Couldn’t score a TD when they started the drive 6 yards out.

Bad snap on 3rd and 1 near the end of the first half. Jags never should have gotten that ball back and scored the first TD.

First drive of the second half: 3 straight incompletions that took a total of 14 seconds off the clock.

Nearly abandoning the run. From the time that they went up 27-0 to the end of the game, they only called 7 run plays. That’s inexcusable. Even a few more runs would have run the clock down and put more pressure on Jacksonville.
