Jags V/S Titans - Monday Night Football in Jacksonville

[Non-RedNeck Westsider]

Monday night's game will not be a thing of beauty.  It will not be your Welcome to the New NFL, Basketball on Grass.  It will not be a game to take the younger kids to see.  What you will see this coming Monday night will be two teams with a bitter history.  Two teams that have an established identity as a run-first, smash-you-in-the-mouth team that isn't afraid to play until the end of the whistle's echo.  Two teams that are playing for first place in a division that is usually dominated by a certain Peyton Manning.  After Monday, only one team will be able to lay claim to that coveted position and that team will be decked out in Teal.

Go Jags.

Enough of the drama.  We will see two QB that are better known for running the bal than throwing it;  two running backs that are polar opposited of one another.  CJ for his blazing speed and elusivness.  MJD for his stature and punishing runs.  The defenses are going to be matched up very well, also.  Both teams play a 4-3 with an emphasis on bending but not breaking.  I think each defense actually like the receivers to catch the ball so they can deliver that crushing hit.

I'll be there, will you.

none of those headlines are demeaning enough to the jags or to jacksonville as a city, so i doubt i will see any of them appear as a headline from any national media outlet.

the headline i see is "good thing the game was in jax, so they couldn't blackout curse nashville like they did buffalo and san diego".

why does the news media hate the jags and jacksonville so much?

[Uh Duh]

why does the news media hate the jags and jacksonville so much?

Franchise envy and the fact the sports writers couldn't find a topless bar during the Super Bowl here.  Every year since the 1999 season, I make a point to make sure I am at the Flaming Thumbtack game.  Usually in the 4th quarter Jags fans in unison chant, "Jeff Fisher Sucks."  Next Monday Night will be electric!  4,468 tickets remain to lift the blackout.

Yeah, this wont be a throw it around the field sissy game.... there will be some good hitting Monday night!!!  Just don't let the Titans chippiness get to you.  They've been the dirtiest team in the league ever since f@@@face Fisher took over.

The ghosts of 1999 past could not be erased in 06(thank you Garrard), can they be erased Monday night?  Jax hasn't seen a game this big for a loooong time.

If anyone wants tickets, Im in section 142... Im buying two tickets for the seats next to mine, you can have them for half price if you come dressed in teal, get loud, and enjoy a fine night in the river city.  Also, you must not mind yelling, beer and cursing.   

God I hate Fisher and the Titans!!!!!!!

If we man up on this game the season will hold a lot of hope.

Who cares if they hate us? This is what we need to get over. We need to take the negative and turn it into positive energy. We need to stop feeding into everything the media says.

^It matters duvaldude08 if potential residents, companies or visitors only impression of the area is from some ignorant negative report.  The  reader may not think to themselves there is something terrible about Jacksonville more likely they may be influenced not to give Jax any consideration at all.

The point I'm trying to make is there no need to keep dwelling on it.  Dwelling is not going to change what they write. The media has been ignorant and negative and they will always be. If negative press about a football would discourage someone not to move here, they don't need to move here anyways. A football teams reps does not make a city. (to a certain degree) I just want us to enjoy the high times and let the good times roll! no need to dwell on negativity. Weve done it for too long.

They couldnt get laid during the Superbowl.

Tenn defense looked pretty good againts the Cowboys. I hope the O-line and DG are ready. Can't give Tenn a short field off turn/overs. I hope this is not another nail biter. I just go my full voice back from the Indy game. Go Jags!!!

[Keith-N-Jax]

I am going to send Peyton an email to see if they cant get Modis to be lite up Teal.

[duvaldude08]

I am shock to see a little over 4,000 tickets to sell for this game. hopefully they go fast. I already have mine.

[fsujax]

I am going to email him as well. maybe the City can encourage these building owners to get in the spirit again! I am hoping the remaining 4,000 tickets get sold soon!! I will be there.

[Keith-N-Jax]

You know Jax will wait til the last minute. I hope this is a true sell out. I hate seeing those empty seats across the field.

[fsujax]

I sit on the westside of the stadium and looking over at those empty club seats kills me!
