Jags Beat the Colts

[duvaldude08]

I know we're all on a high from the win against the colts, but is anyone else kinda scared that the jags will lose to the bills?? i'm having a weird feeling that there will be a let down against buffalo. hopefully not, but we seem to lose against the teams we shouldn't

Thats just it. Let just stop thinking and enjoying the wins and and regroup after losses. At the end of the day its just a game. Them winning or losing doesnt pay my bills. Its all just entertainment to me.

Just FYI, the GW kick was the #1 play on ESPN for week 4 of the NFL regular season.

The pick that set up our last td was #7 - sooooo, the jags made ESPNs top 10 twice, how's that for positive pub?

Well, it's the NFL so I'm always scared we might lose, even if we are playing a winless and rebuilding team. I don't think the Colts were necessarily feeling a "let down" when they played us, and we managed to beat them. If the Bills get things clicking for one game, they could beat anybody...and it doesn't mean we weren't prepared.

Just saying that it's not necessarily inconsistency that causes the Jags to struggle in some games and win some others...it's just the nature of the league. I think we'll win, but I wouldn't be shocked if we didnt.

I think I agree. The problem is when we lose, alot of people go crazy and disown the jags. Enough disowning, and they'll eventually be gone - which isn't good for jax. i'm OK w/ people calling for peoples heads when we lose (coach, qb, etc - that means they care) but i have a real problem with those who wish the jags would leave town after a loss.

NFL Network cares about ratings almost as much as the other cable channels.  Jax is too small and Colts fans don't want to see a loss over again.  It's a business decision.  They're making their customers happy.

So its not the quality that matters, but the brand.

Who exactly is The NFL customer? Im not challeging what you are saying, but its nice that someone else agree with how Jacksonville as a city is treated. Its really not about the Jaguars at all. Media likes the team, but really hates the city/metro it plays in. Glad others are noticing.

Thats the college town country mentality...being a real pro sports fan is different from college. Plus many fans dont see the big picture & how important PRO sports is to URBAN America. That 3hr game gave everyone in Jax a better Monday & Tuesday. America needs its sports, cities need their proteams.  Overall Florida as a state is still learning how to be great Pro sport fans. From the Dolphins to The Magic to the Rays not much pro sports history and legacy like say Philly, DC & Boston. In time it will get there. Like that guy jim bailey said Duval has 10,000 children in kindergarden...When I was in Kindergarden there was no Jaguars, Bulls came when I was in 1st grade and didnt last. In time the switch up bandwagon fans wont matter, but in 2010 they do.

jaguars.com's Vic Ketchman asked a good question recently.  Is there a pro sports franchise in FL that sells out as often as the Gators do?  Of the the 6 NFL franchises in FL and CA aren't the 49ers the only one without ticket sales issues?  Maybe it's a sunshine thing.

[Keith-N-Jax]

Nope there is nothing to do in Gainesville,,ha ha,,so the Gator game is the biggest show in town as matter of fact its the only show in town.

[urbanlibertarian]

But at least half the crowd is from some other town.

[Keith-N-Jax]

You mean the visiting teams fans?

[urbanlibertarian]

No, Gator fans from across FL.

[Keith-N-Jax]

Oh the bandwagon. All teams that win alot have those. Anyway back to topic,,, Go Jags!!!!! dont let us down next week!!!!

[duvaldude08]

Im very excited this year!!! Even with our two blowouts, we really havent had much negative press this year. It feels good to have some positive press for a change. I tend to think that us fans are more negative than the media this season. We have became so sensitive.

Peyton proclaims ‘Teal Monday’
Be there, Boselli says
Wednesday, October 6, 2010 By Vic Ketchman, jaguars.com senior editor


The mayor and “Team Teal” are back again.

A little less than a year after they kicked off a ticket-sales drive in Jacksonville that is currently in the process of saving the franchise, Jacksonville Mayor John Peyton and his “Team Teal” partners stood in front of the media on Wednesday and encouraged Jaguars fans to fill EverBank Field for the Oct. 18, Monday Night Football game against the Tennessee Titans.

“I’m proclaiming ‘Teal Monday’ in Jacksonville,” Peyton said proudly, and with that he encouraged local employers to release their workers early on that day so they might all go to the game that night and cheer on the Jaguars.

“Continue the momentum,” Peyton said, referring to the ticket-sales momentum he initiated last fall and the momentum the Jaguars created on Sunday with a thrilling, 31-28 win over the visiting Indianapolis Colts.

“Our fan support really moves the needle on how we perform,” Peyton said. “I couldn’t be more pleased with ticket sales.”

Jaguars Chief Financial Officer Bill Prescott outlined an evening that’ll begin at 5:30 in the “Teal Town” section of the EverBank Field south end zone. Prescott spoke of live entertainment, $2 draft beer and a video board that’ll display the “ESPN Countdown” pregame show.

Fans attending the game are asked to wear teal. “We want to teal-out the stadium,” Prescott said.

“We want the stadium full and we want the stadium loud,” he added.

“Team Teal” Commissioner and former Jaguars star Tony Boselli delivered another one of his ever-popular pep talks.

“We were challenged by the media; what kind of fans are we? The challenge is still out there. The national media is still negative. The only way we fight that is by showing up. We have to answer the call. We have to make sure those stands are full,” Boselli said. “Win or lose, this is our team.”

Ive been thinking long and hard about the Jags recently. I think Ive figured out why they dont do good on the road...... Our fans dont travel well. They win at home so much because they have the support of their fans.

I have also been thinking about the Jags and the media. It is not the jags that are being critized..its the fans!! Bottom Line- we have to do better as fans. Win or lose, you have to support your team. PERIOD. We have to stop pointing the finger at them. NFL's team are not expected to win all the time. and Throughout NFL history teams have sturggled through losing season for decades and their fans stuck by them. Im sorry if youre not going to be a loyal jags fan, pack up your bags and leave us the hell alone. Go Jags!!!!!!
