The Jaguars are not good this season.
There was hope surrounding the Jacksonville franchise heading into 2016. Blake Bortles was coming off an impressive 2015 season, and the team had offensive weapons in place with Allen Robinson, Allen Hurns and Julius Thomas. But the team has only mustered two wins while averaging the sixth-fewest offensive yards per game in the NFL.

Fans are fed up and have started calling for Bortles to be benched. But Robinson says that's missing the point, and he would appreciate a little more support from the fan base.
"When you hear the atmosphere of when we step out on the field, when we go to punt or before halftime when Blake takes a knee and you hear the booing, it's kind of funny to me," Robinson said, via ESPN. "It's funny that we get our best home-field advantage when we go to Wembley (Stadium).
"At the end of the day, it is what it is. People from the outside are going to make their opinions. Again, as an offense we're struggling. Not just Blake struggling. Not just I am struggling. As a whole, we're struggling. This is a team thing. At the end of that people are going to say what they want to say."

Robinson can't stop people from talking, but his quote about London is interesting in context. There's been chatter in the NFL for years about a full-time team based overseas, and the Jaguars have been the rumored franchise considering their deal with the NFL.
