JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars did not look good on offense or special teams in their season-opening loss.

There were four drops, five sacks, two interceptions (including a pick-six), a fumble, a missed field goal and a missed PAT. In short, it was a mess at EverBank Field, which leads us to …

Overreaction Monday!

Win or lose, fans (and those of us 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:

The Jaguars blew it by not signing a veteran receiver either early or late in free agency

The Jaguars’ receivers did not exactly put on a clinic on Sunday. Allen Hurns had a particularly bad day, dropping two passes and fumbling inside the red zone. Allen Robinson caught just one pass for 27 yards. Rookie Rashad Greene caught seven passes, but only for 28 yards and he had a critical drop inside the 5-yard line. And, of course, Marqise Lee sat out the game with a hamstring injury. Meanwhile, players the Jaguars had a legitimate shot to sign -- they had the most cap room, remember -- but didn’t had solid days. James Jones, who was on the street after final cuts, caught four passes for 51 yards and two TDs for Green Bay. Nate Washington, 32, caught six passes for 105 yards for Houston. Instead, the Jaguars opted to stand pat with Robinson, Hurns, Lee, Greene and Bryan Walters -- three second-year players, a rookie, and a guy who had 11 career catches in three years until Sunday.

Slow down: Robinson still looks like he’s got a chance to be the team’s top receiver. He had a chance for a touchdown catch but Blake Bortles threw the ball too low on an attempted fade and Robinson couldn’t get to it. Things should open up on the outside when tight end Julius Thomas returns from his fractured hand because defenses will be concentrating on stopping him first. When Lee does get back on the field, possibly this week, he gives the Jaguars a speed option that should stretch the defense.

GM David Caldwell made a huge mistake by trading kicking Josh Scobee and keeping Jason Myers

Scobee did miss two field goal attempts for Pittsburgh on Thursday, but those kicks came on a rainy, windy night. Myers had perfect weather and field conditions on Sunday and he still pushed a 44-yard attempt wide right and did the same thing on a PAT after the Jaguars’ only touchdown. Myers wasn’t a good kicker in college, making only 63.2 percent of his field goal attempts (24 of 38) at Marist. He made just 3 of 9 field goal attempts from 40-49 yards. He needs to be cut or at the very least the Jaguars need to bring in some free-agent kickers for workouts.

Slow down: If the Jaguars want to completely wreck Myers’ confidence, then by all means Caldwell should bring in a couple of kickers this week. On the day the trade was announced, Caldwell said he didn’t anticipate a seamless transition from the leading scorer in franchise history to a rookie and that he expected Myers to miss kicks and he “would live with them and grow with them.” You have to figure Myers was nervous in his NFL debut and he would naturally settle down this week.

The offensive line isn’t any better than it was last season.

Bortles was sacked five times, including four in the second half, which puts the Jaguars on pace for 80 sacks allowed. Seems like an outrageous number, but it’s only nine more than the team allowed last season.

Slow down: This could eventually turn out to be true, but there’s no way to make that determination after only one game. Several of the sacks were coverage sacks and Bortles held onto the ball too long, especially in the second half. Give him credit for keeping his eyes downfield and not automatically running, which is what you want your quarterback to do, but there’s a point where he has to take off and he waited just a bit too long. Plus, here’s an encouraging stat: The Jaguars averaged 4.6 yards per carry. They also threw the ball 40 times and ran it 21. Maybe if the ratio were a little less skewed toward the pass the Jaguars would have been in better situations.
