Despondent Del Rio: “It’s a pretty crappy feeling right now”

Jacksonville’s loss at home to the Bengals, their fourth straight defeat, may just define this Jaguars season.

The Bengals have the type of team that can win with a rookie quarterback. The Jaguars don’t, and Jack Del Rio seems to know it.

“It’s a pretty crappy feeling right now,” Del Rio sighed, searching for words. “It’s simply not, simply not acceptable on a lot of fronts. Again, just put it on my shoulders. At the end of the game, we can’t even execute a two minute drive. It’s unacceptable.”

This is not a good look for Del Rio. He borders on hopeless, perhaps because he knows that the Steelers, Ravens, and Texans are up next before a Week nine bye. It’s possible those are the last three games Del Rio coaches in Jacksonville.
