JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jacksonville Jaguars had a chance to have first place in the AFC South all to themselves but blew it by losing to the Indianapolis Colts in overtime, 16-13.

The Colts were without Andrew Luck, but 40-year-old Matt Hasselbeck did just enough to win and the Jaguars made their usual litany of mistakes. It really was a lost opportunity and one of the more perplexing losses during the Jaguars’ rebuild.

Which leads us to … Overreaction Monday!

Win or lose, fans (and we in the media, too) tend to overreact to what happens on the field. It’s common, natural and, sometimes, pretty fun to do. So each Monday we’ll examine three overreactions and (hopefully) provide some context.

Let’s get started:

Cut K Jason Myers. Immediately. Sign K Josh Scobee. Immediately.

Myers missed two potential game-winning field goals against Indianapolis: a 53-yarder at the end of regulation and a 48-yarder in overtime. He has missed three field-goal tries and an extra-point attempt already this season. The rookie can’t take the pressure and has already cost the Jaguars one victory – and we all know those opportunities don’t come around often.

Slow down: Granted, missing the 48-yard attempt wasn’t good, especially because it was indoors on turf. According to ESPN Stats & Information, NFL kickers made 71.2 percent of field-goal attempts of 45-48 yards in 2014. However, Scobee struggled since being traded to Pittsburgh, making only 6 of 10 field-goal attempts and missing an extra point before he was released Saturday, and he’s also dealing with a quad strain that may take several weeks to heal. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Jaguars work out some free-agent kickers, but they have to be careful with Myers’ psyche. If the Jaguars are indeed committed to Myers, as GM David Caldwell said when he traded Scobee to Pittsburgh, then bringing in tryout guys would be a sign the team doesn’t have confidence in him -- the last feeling you want a kicker to have.

Gus Bradley has to go. Now.

The Jaguars are 8-28 under Bradley, and the loss on Sunday was, in some ways, even more embarrassing than the loss against New England the week before. The Colts did not have Andrew Luck on the field yet still found a way to beat the Jaguars. The team is undisciplined (13 penalties for 92 yards against Indy), there are no repercussions for poor play, and he says the same things after every loss (things are correctible, there is accountability, they’re close).

Slow down: Has Bradley made some questionable decisions in personnel and during games? Yes. Has he made mistakes? Absolutely. But if you take an honest look at the roster, you’ll see there aren’t many good players. It’s comprised mostly of average players, below-average players and several players who have a chance to be above average or even good players in a year or so. The only proven player is TE Julius Thomas, and he’s hurt. Most every team’s roster is comprised largely of average players who are inconsistent and don’t make plays to win games. Good teams, however, have several great players, and that’s what makes the difference. The Jaguars don’t have great players, and firing Bradley won’t change that. Good coaches find a way to get the most out of their players, but Bradley hasn’t done that on a consistent basis. Besides, before the season began I expected the Jaguars to be 1-3 at this point, so this record shouldn’t be a surprise.

The pass rush is horrible. Trade for somebody. Sign somebody. Do something.

Anything has to be better than what the Jaguars have now. They sacked Hasselbeck three times, but that is not an indication of how bad the pass rush was. Hasselbeck had all day to find receivers and was rarely touched. Plus, the Colts’ offensive line is the team’s weakness and yet the Jaguars still couldn’t get any consistent pressure. There’s got to be somebody on the street better than the options the Jaguars have.

Slow down: Somebody reading this is going to think, "Bring back Cap Capi." No. He’s not the answer. The problem is that there aren’t viable options available on the street at this point, so the only option would be a trade. That’s not as easy as everyone thinks, though. You’ve got to find a team willing to trade, and if you want a big-time pass-rusher you’ve got to come up with a significant offer because there aren’t many of those guys around. Right now, draft picks are still so valuable for the Jaguars in their rebuild that they cannot afford to part with many. They had a chance with Aldon Smith and could have offered him more money than any other team because they have the most cap space, but that didn’t materialize. So the best and most logical thing to do at this point is try to scheme up pressure with blitzes. Plus, DT Sen’Derrick Marks will be returning in a few weeks and he will beef up the interior rush significantly.
