Jags are expected to lift the Week 1 blackout

[Keith-N-Jax]

Glad we won, but a very boring game to watch in the heat. Offense same as last yr and I know Luke was just put in the line up but that's exactly what we saw last yr and pretty much since Del Rio has been here. Maybe they'll open things as time goes on. Trying to nurse a 13 point is a recipe for failure. The offense inability to Punch it in while in the Red Zone will cost us many games. This game should have never come down to wire like that, Jags should put this team away in the 3rd qtr. On a good note Defense played great in the 1st half, Luke made some great throws, MJD/Karim both looked pretty good. Not sure if it was poor execution or bad play calling, but some of the offensive play calls were just baffling.

It was hot, that was for sure. Still had a great time and the stadium was rocking!

[Keith-N-Jax]

Yes good atmosphere despite the heat. Defense set the tone early. That sack on the first Titans possesions really got the crowd pumped. Go Jags!!

[Tacachale]

A little messy, but a great win for the Jags. Hopefully as the season progresses we'll come together more. Combined with Houston's slaughter of Indy, this should be a fun season.

I think for the most part the offense was playing it safe. After our O-line being disrupted four days before the game, running the ball on the first game was a good idea. I would have like to see luke pass more but I feel that they didnt want to get out there and start chunking balls every where and mess up. As Luke gets a better feel for the O-line I believe we will be passing alot more as the season progresses. I expected them to struggle in the red zone as well. Given the situation, I was very impressed actually. We will see what unfolds this week. We beat NY back in 09 when we were 7-9. I think we can get past them. They BARELY won against the cowboys last night.

And to be honest, Tennessee got lucky on both TD's. The first one was a botched play, and the second was thanks to Mathis and his penilities. Otherwise, it would have been a shut out.

P.S. Attendance as around 61,000

Attendance reported was 61,619, great showing!

Well Dirk and company aren't notorious for switching up the gameplan, and I'm sure he wanted to be safe with the QB situation.  Which is two fold, run it safely, and keep Chris Johnson and Kenny Britt off the field.  We'll worry about the flashy long plays later.

And Thank the Lord we don't have another home game for a few weeks, because it was hot!!

ESPN lists us as 11th out of 14 in attendance...(2 games tonight). 

Since reading comments in an article (not a moronic public posting) in the main St. Louis paper describing Jacksonville as a "hellhole" not deserving of an NFL team, I'm glad to see the attendance was 56,722 in St. Louis. 

Given the nice improvement in sales, hopefully, we can keep pushing Jax's number up.

That game and stadium show kicked ass over television.  I'll remember that for a very long time. 

Let's keep moving on this. Get some tickets.

I love it that Tampa's game was blacked out. We had 10,000 more people at the Jags game, and we have a considerably smaller population pool to draw from. Ha. Go Jags!!

PS: IF you don't know about it, check out the D-Line drum explosion after the game under the south end zone. It is awesome!

The game looked AWESOME on Tv. I left after half time and finished watching it at my parents house and it looked great. Lets keep packing the house and keep the excitement going. I noticed when the crowd is pumped they seem to play better.

[Keith-N-Jax]

You left after half time. typical Jag fan,, lol, just kidding ok.

LOL!!! nah man. I was drained. I had not drunk any water and I left all my money in the car. I was literally getting ready to fall out. Had to get out of the heat. This is my first season as a ticket holder. Not used to the heat.  So I should be granted an adjustment period. LOL

[reednavy]

Anyone notice how empty SunLife Stadium is for tonight's game? It was funny even before halftime!

[duvaldude08]

Im on youtube watching highlights from 1999. And it just jumped out to me, our defense is the reason we made it so far that. Our defense was C R A Z Y. Offense was good as well, but even the video points out how our defense is the reason we were winning like that. I will FOREVER hate the Titans. Thats why any win against them is good in my books!!

^^^Hey, Duvaldude, I'm a second year season ticket holder, and I sit in the same section as you (216). I had to leave at halftime because my Mom had gotten heat exhaustion. I led her to the first-aid station and the EMS took her to the hospital; She stayed overnight, and got discharged in the morning; She's currently doing just fine.
