Beat the Titans!!
Correct that..
Handily beat the Titans!!! :D
And because of Indy's absolutely horrendous first half appearance and loss to San Diego, the division title is very tangible for the Jags. Two more conference games to win, Indy then Houston. Throw in a couple more wins against other teams and the Jags are division champs on their way to the PLAYOFFS!!!
Either this was the WOST team Tennessee has ever put on the field, or this Jag team is showing a spark of brilliance! Talk about a STONEWALL CAT!
How many times have you seen a hair-breath rally, promoted by a BIG CAT fumble on the 15, turned into a backward march up the field? That Jag interception in the last seconds was like the ultimate slam dunk! WOW!
Ocklawaha
Nice win. It's amazing the team was able to dominate without their starting QB, their best o-lineman and their best d-lineman. The Jags have some amazing depth. Beat the Bolts!
Congrats to Freddy T on getting his 10K. Congrats to CBS47 for showing the entire game :D . The Jags are sure a resilient bunch. Suddenly that "Indy runaway with the AFC South division" doesn't look so set in stone. Go Jags!!!! :)
We (citizens of Jax) need to buy tickets and support our team. Go Jags!!!
Got 2 season tickets
GO JAGS!
i wish i could go to the game
Is it me or is Garrard really starting to look like a truely great QB? He was hitting recievers with pinpoint accuracy against San Diego. Everyone watching Monday Night football needs to be rooting for Denver. A Titans loss puts the Jags in a solid second for the division title.

i agree he a beast
Well Denver pulled through for us by beating the Titans. Jags are now sitting at 2nd and only one game behind the Colts. WOOT!!!
This game will be blacked out and it's a damn shame. This is a great team. If we can take care of business against Buffalo, the game at Indy will be huge.
Why will it be blacked out? There are still a few days left to sell the necessary tickets.

It is 3500 tickets. They likely won't sell all before the deadline.
This team has the potential to be the one to pull an upset of the Pats in the playoffs. Jags vs Packers/Cowboys in the big dance??? We'll see... Go Jags!
What a crying shame. We have a winning NFL team and the citizens will not even support them. If it's not the Gators playing who cares, is the sense I get. It is very sad. When the Jags decide to up and leave it will be no ones fault except the citizens of Jax.

Exactly. Thanks to these fake-ass college-minded fans. That's why I can't stand the Gators, and I hope that they go below .500 for the next fifty years! (sorry about rufflin' feathers) No other college team don't have such a stranglehold on Jax like those damn Gators, and I'm sick of it! College football has a computer to decide who's the champ; Nuff said. Wanna know what's a real Jag fan; Real Jag fan don't care about which Jag game to watch; Real Jag fans given the financial opportunity, will go to the Texan game, the Bills game, the Panthers game, the Raiders game, the Falcons game; Fake-ass Jags fans will only go to the Steeler game, the Dolphin game, the Bucs game, the Packers game, the Colts game etc. I can only hope that Jax will keep it's NFL team for a long time, but it's lookin' bleak with all of these college-minded yahoos/ front-runnin' bandwagoners in this city.
If the JAG's up and leave, it won't be the fault of the Gators, their fans or the season ticket holders, we did or did not have... It will be a pure $$ decision based on TELEVISION market share. In that respect, we could pack the stadium twice every weekend and still be much smaller then other markets. This is why the league will put a team back in the Los Angeles area... even though LA could care less, and probably won't put 15,000 fans in the stadium!!! But when the TV market is in the 20 MILLION bracket, that equals HUGE $$$... Everything is richer, revenue from ad's, sponsorships, spotlight, image, national sales etc... Every WB kiddie show will have the basic Apple Computer in the bedroom and the LOS ANGELES NFL team logo toys on the wall or desk. EVERY kid in the nation that watches those shows, will then WANT the apple computer and the LOS ANGELES NFL logo toys... BUCKS $$$ pure and simple. Against that kind of competition, it won't matter how much we "support" our team, even our best will pale. There is NOTHING we can do if they decide to stack our market against a Los Angeles in a future team move.
On the positive side, looks like our owner loves JACKSONVILLE and as long as he is around, and the team is somewhere around break even, he can make up a share in the national revenue sharing, or, in sales of toys. If we continue to do good on the field, and gain national attention, it will only help the teams position in those types of sales. So it's important that we continue to sell JACKSONVILLE. Not just it's team, all of it's teams. In directly, selling someone on the Gators, Noles or Dogs, might result in them moving into our area. As our area grows, so does the TV market share and the revenue. The more we can offer the sports fan, the larger our population - the larger the population, the larger the TV market share = More income for our teams!
GO GATORS! GO NOLES! GO DOGS!
and
GO JAGUARS!
...So goes Jacksonville...
Ocklawaha
OK OK - L.A. has lost 2 franchises, so, why bother? The tv market was relative then as it is now, I'm sure.....Also, although embarrassing, we're NOT the only market struggling with ticket sales. This season alone, BOTH Bay area teams have had blackouts in addition to St. Louis, Minnesota, & Atlanta. I may be missing others. I think it just takes time to regain trust as well as foster a generation of fans (when I ask grade school kids who they root for, it's ALWAYS - "The JAGS, OF COURSE". Its the "OF COURSE" part that seems so encouraging. This team lost it's identity when the likes of Brunell, Boselli, Smith, McCardell, Smeenge, Jurko, etc. all departed. It seemed that they were recognizable within the community as well. The jury's still out on so many of our draft picks of recent years - This new regime including Drew, Mathis,Taylor (for now) & whomever else will hopefully carry the torch..............
BTW, the Jags have until Friday at 1:00 pm to sell the remaining unsold non-premium tickets. Here is an excerpt from jaguars.com:
QuoteDave from Waunakee, WI: I haven't seen any mention of TV blackouts lately. Has “The Jack†been full for the latest games and that issue temporarily put behind us?
Vic: Two games have been blacked-out this season: Atlanta on Sept. 16 and Houston on Oct. 14. Monday evening, I announced that 3,500 general-bowl tickets remain unsold for Sunday’s game against Buffalo. That’s how many have to be sold by one p.m. on Friday for the game to be shown on TV in Jacksonville. The blackout deadline has been moved back a day because Thursday is Thanksgiving.
http://www.jaguars.com/news/article.aspx?id=6517
Thanks Riverside. 3500 (now its likely less) should be easily sold by friday, IMO. Blackout or not, the stadium usually sits at or near capacity bacause it is typically pretty easy to get tickets at the gate.

Your exactly right, it will sell out before game time, or close to it, even if its blacked out. The thing I hate is the perception that there is NO support for the Jags that just not true. THE JACK is rocking every Sunday blackout or not. TV Ratings for Jags games are high and in most cases higher than college games shown in town. Jaguars Morning Drive radio shows draw more listeners than other any other morning radio show. Its not like the Jags only draw 45k for a game, we are roughly 3500 season tickets short of not even having this discussion. I understand a lot of people cant afford season tickets but if you can, I encourage you to buy them, my wife and I bought them for the first time this year, and it was the best 1000 bucks we have spent, we have created some great memories, I love being downtown for game time, so much that we are entertaining the idea of moving from the suburbs to downtown sometime in the future. That’s why I am on this site, to figure out what is going on downtown.
GO JAGS!
Check this out guys, Garrard's passer rating is 104.6. That puts him in 4th place in the NFL.

Officially blacked out. No big shock
Well they still pulled off a big win. Because of Houston's and Tennessee's losses, the 8-3 Jags are a solid playoff contender and still have a shot at taking the division. All that's needed is a win next week against the Colts. Man, this season is really turning out to be a great one!
Go JAGS!!!
Great game. The stadium was full and it the weather was nice. Too bad it wasn't aired on local TV. Go JAGS!!!
They distributed 64,500 tix which is 96% sold. The blackouts are helping the gameday walk up sales which is the only thing that matters to Weaver
Another nice win by the Jags. Now let's go to Pittsburgh and beat the hated Steelers.
GO JAGS....BEAT THE SQUEELERS
Yesterday's game was great. GO JAGS!!
Great win. They are definately doing a lot better than my spineless Dolphins.

Lake, it's just unbearable to think that the Dolphins are my #1 team (Jags are my #2), and they are as pathetic as any team could ever be. I now think that Huizenga, the most idiotic franchise owner in the NFL, is trying to sabotage the team and move it to LA. You know what? As much as it hurts for me to say, I would be
all for it! The Jags would end up becoming my #1 team, and when we move there, my family will become part of the Jax football tradition!
I doubt the Dolphins will be moving from Miami to LA. Like LA, the market is too big to go without an NFL team. Unlike LA, the Dolphins have a storied history in South Florida and some great rivalries in the AFC East. Plus Huizenga is pooring money into the stadium. Imo, bad coaching and poor drafts over the past five years have done them in and its going to take a couple of seasons to put a decent team back on the field again.
As for the Jags, hopefully the winning will lead to a deep playoff run this year and a sting of sellouts in the future.
The irony would be seeing the Pats go undefeated the same year the Dolphins go winless. That'll likely humble the '76 Dolphins players. Well, probably not. :)
Or we can see the both streaks end this Sunday on the same field, preserving the 72' season?
Good point, Lake, but remember the Cleveland Browns? Nobody expected the owner to send them to Baltimore, but it happened. Luckily, traditionalists still wanted the Browns in Cleveland, and the team was reborn. Granted, the one huge argument against moving the Fins is the $$$ being poured into Joe Robbie Stadium (the name which should NEVER be changed!), but how many boneheaded moves has Huizenga done as far as making this team a contender as it is? I agree with you, since Shula was forced into retirement, the franchise has made one bad decision after another. It started with Jimmy Johnson, but it really snowballed with Wannstedt, Saban, and now Cameron. I used to support Cameron as the coach...now, I believe he should be fired. No coach should ever go winless in a league that is supposed to have some parity in talent. As for the streak, more conspiracy theories would abound that the league fixes games if the Fins beat the Pats, and I'm beginning to feel that the Fins will go 0-16 because they are that inept. If Huizenga has any brains, he will fire Cameron if the team succeeds in total imperfection.
As for the Jags, I'm hoping for them to win it all. Fred Taylor was quoted as saying that the playoffs are not just what they want...they want the Super Bowl championship. They have their goal, and if they keep playing like they did yesterday, they can achieve it!

not really possible....Miami is playing Baltimore and the Pats are playing the Jets
I guess I missed it by the week. Baltimore has a pretty bad offense, so maybe they can pull an upset before heading up to New England next week.
GO JAGS! Great game against the Squeelers
Good win by the Jags, who are starting to peak at the right time and finally my Dolphins pull off the upset. Now I just need the Pats to drop one of their last two.
The Jags really were impressive today. It is nice to have the NFL here and the sports district looks great.

What a game. ANYONE that missed those last 3 minutes because "football is boring" IS BRAIN DEAD! A Southern team, in a snow storm, in Pittsburgh (where nobody beats the Tin Men) and runs like Jeb Stuart around Little Mac. The Jags reduced the "Steelers" to a "clinking, clanking, clattering collection of caliginous junk." Gotta love those big cats.
BTW JBM how is our favorite cat? Cheshire?
Ocklawaha
Fantastic game by the Jaguars! They're proving to other teams that they're not just some warm-weather pushover team. And as I've said, if they want to get the playoffs, they need to win the rest of their games because the AFC is so good.
Oh yes, and my Fins pulled off the win!! FIN-ally! Indeed Lake, if the Pats can finally be beaten, everything will be right with the world.

Thanks for the b-day greeting.
Well. no Pro Bowl for any Jags. It did not happen and it sucks. Maybe Fred & the rest of the Jags can carry the team to the AFC championship and then to the Super Bowl. That would be better than a Pro Bowl, right Fred? ;D
>:( Unbelievable. As usual, the rest of the NFL snubs a team for any selections to the Pro Bowl, and many sports writers have been saying that this is supposed to be Fred's year. Let us hope and pray that the Jags make it to the Super Bowl and win it, thereby putting all of these so-called "football experts" in their place.
The Bucs did not have anybody either and are having a pretty good year.
even tho we were snubbed, all this prove is that we are a real TEAM. everyone on the field goes out and playes hard nosed football (dont kill me for this---> xcept for Rashean Mathis-poor tackler/gambles too much(only when he doesn't get the pick :))). all the other big name teams have their stars, SD=LT, NE=Brady/Moss, Indy=Manning/Harrison, GB=Favre, Dallas=Owens/romo, pitt=big ben(his selection was a huge load of BS)/ward/parker. Those people carry their teams. the jags carry each other. all i can say is that its my fault for not voting. don't fret, the generation of jagsfans who grew up with them is coming soon!!!!
My God! ! wow! GO JAGUARS! I would have expected a physical game from Oakland, I would have expected the cats to pull it out. I thought even 20 to 17 or some such score in favor of the Jags. But I NEVER expected to see us take the field, take charge and completely pound the raiders into oblivion. Even playing our backup guys we scored over and over... Unbelievable. If we take this kind of play through the coming weeks, we have the Superbowl in the bag.
Ocklawaha

Quote from: Matt on December 19, 2007, 07:19:18 PM
xcept for Rashean Mathis-poor tackler/gambles too much(only when he doesn't get the pick :))).
I'm no football expert by no means, but maybe it's because he's playing HURT! I dunno why everyone continue to pile on Rashean, thinking he's no longer an elite cornerback anymore; He's playing with a hurt groin for godsake! I'll take a 70% Rashean, over a 100% Brian Williams anyday; Although Brian played well against OAK, I've seen him get burned way too many times in previous games. The 'hurt' Rashean usually will get beat on WR crossing patterns when the QB scrambles outta the pocket (any CB can be beaten on plays like that because you can't cover forever 'hint hint sometimes our pass rush falls asleep) Meanwhile B. Williams usually gets beat straight off of the line.
Another guy that's taken way too much abuse in Jax is Adam Podlesh; On the 15 yard punt vs. PIT, the longsnapper Joe Z hiked the ball way off center, so Podlesh had to reach way outta the area where the ball should've been snapped then avoid a punt rusher; IMO he did a good job kicking it off regardless of the distance, but everyone was ready too crucify him, but Joe Z takes no blame. Yall seen what Adam did vs. OAK.
CBS sportscaster Solomon Wilcots needs to take notice; He said that Garrard was "managing the game". What a load of crap! Any knowledgable football fan will look at alot of those excellent throws that Garrard made know that is not just 'managing the game".
Great game vs. OAK. I say rest up everyone for the playoffs in that unimportant week 17 game vs. HOU.
GO JAGS!!!!!
The Houston game may not have anything to do with making the playoffs but a loss will effect morale. Comming into the post-season on a 4 game winning streak will likely help to pump the team up for the trip back up to Pittsburg and pull off another win. Football is a game that is played out until the buzzer sounds and is won by those who want it most, IMO.

It depends, if it's a close game after halftime, and the Jags decide to rest everybody, and the third string loses, I don't really see it affecting morale.

naw i think it means alot to beat the texans they are one of are biggest rivials seeings how they mange to beat us when we least expect them to........they will show up to play and hopefully my jags do to cuz we do need the momentom
The Jags lost a tough one to Indy, then went on a three game winning streak. David Garrard missed 3 games and came back laser sharp with no rust. I dont think resting a game will have a lasting effect on this team.
Now, as I fan I want to whip the tinhorns like nobodys business, but not to risk injury.
It would still be sweet to deny the Texans their first division win of the season.
And their first non-losing season in franchise history. I think we will win on Sunday even with all backups. Our backups (Quinn Gray, Labrandon Toefield, Dennis Norman) are among the best in the league.
Well, the Jag's second and third string couldn't pull off the win. At least the team is healthy and ready for another bout in Pittsburgh. The AFC South is very well represented in the playoffs this season too. I'm suprised Indy didn't fight harder against their rival Titans.
How deep does everyone think the Jags will go? Are they Arizona bound?
I certainly think they have the ability to pull it off but it will be a long hard road.
Unless an upset happens in San Diego, the Jags would most likely have the toughest trip to Arizona. They would have to win in Pittsburgh, New England and Indianapols just to get to the big game.
I think they'll get past Pittsburgh, but the New England game will depend on the weather. If that game is played in good weather, I don't think the secondary will be able to stop Brady, Moss and Welker.
Well, we've seen what the Jags can do in bad weather. 5th seeds have made the big game and won it. Also remember the Steelers won the whole shebang as a 6th seed a few years back.
I honestly don't think I would bet my life savings on them making it to the big game but if they do there is no doubt in my mind that the Jags are better than any team in the NFC. It might be worth dropping $20 on a bet that they'll make it. Shure would payoff well!
That was a close one but they got it done at crunch time.
A playoff win is a playoff win. I'll take it. Next stop..New England?
jags owned the first half, steelers the second, and the final minutes were won by none other than them jags
also, could somebody please inform me why the hell we did a safety blitz on fourth and twelve? AAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH i was going to pull my hair out! all you have to do is keep him in front of you, but no, lets blitz. that game shouldve never gotten close. they will need better composure if they want to win in NE or INDY. but once again....GO JAGS!
so do you want the jags to go to New England, or to Seattle? I hope we go to New England.
They can't play at Seattle. It would be Indy.
Being a total Pats fan first and Jags second. I would like to see the Jags go to Indy. They usually play Indy pretty hard. I don't think the Jags can take out the Pats, obviously my view is jaded, but I just don't see them getting it done.. They still make too many mistakes.. I would really like to see a New England/Jacksonville AFC championship game.. I think it would do wonders for the Jags image to go through Indy.. Nobody else takes the Jags seriously, YET!!! But they are going to.. Never the less, I think the Pats are just unstoppable this year, too many weapons, too many good recievers to cover, one of the best ever quarterbacks.. This is the year that the '72 Dolphins get some company in the "Undefeated Club"....
Anyone else argue with the TV over the face mask? Where the heck were the ref's? I thought Pittsburgh caught a bad call too on the catch on the ground, He certainly had his hands UNDER the ball and came up with it? DUH?
Looked to me like our similar call, (with the same result) was decent, that ball seemed to bounce off the dirt first. The blitz was a really sorry idea on our part. That 4Th and 2, QB run in the last seconds was amazing...
This Jag team just might do horrible things to our City... A couple more games like this and 1/4 of the population of Jacksonville might die of HEART FAILURE! What a team... GO JAGS!
Ocklawaha
^^^ yea i saw that too. he also had the shoulder pad. it looked like a designed for Ward to draw interference. it was complete crap. my friend who was a steelers fan had the nerve to say that was legal in the first five yards....first of all, pushing is legal, not grabbing, second, the ball was in the air. anyway. that was a load of crap. i wouldve been uber pissed if we lost because of that. anyone else think that reggie nelson and hines ward shouldve shook hands after the game...they were being babies.
ps-long live the cardiac cats
Good game. I though they were quick on the whistle with Big Ben and not so much with Garrard. Personally, I'd like to see Jax take on the Pats next week. If you want to win a championship, you want to take out the best. If that game is played on a clear sunny day, the Pats will have the edge. If its in blizzard like conditions, its a toss up.
I think Indy would be a sure bet; however, as you've pointed out lake a football player would want to play New England. I'd like to see a win next week.
What a fantastic win in Pittsburgh...again! Well soxfan, as a Fins fan first, Jags second, I was hoping that they would play the Pats because if there's a team to upset the Pats, I think the Jags can do it. And now, after San Diego's win, the Jags will go to Foxboro. As a Fins fan, I really hope the Pats get beat by Jax. I despise Tom Brady and Bellicheat (oops, Freudian slip!), and I want my Fins to remain the sole undefeated team in a season.
However a win up there is not my final wish for the Jaguars. I want them in the Super Bowl, as well. Go Jags, not just for the Fins, but for the city of Jacksonville also!
As another longtime Fins fan......Ditto.
Fin Fan? Who are they? That acr sounds like a rx drug?
What a great game Saturday, even though I almost lost hope in the 4th quarter. Thanks Garrard for saving the game on a fourth and two. Now it's on to Foxboro!!! Go Jags!

:D Nice.
The Cardiac Cats are back!! The last quarter was some of the closest nail-biting football I've seen in a long time. Garrard really pulled it off with his 4th and 2 run.
As Lake said, weather could play a big role against the Pats but if there is a team to beat them, its the Jags. But, if the Jags play like they did during the second half against Pittsburgh then there's no chance. They bring their A-game and leave the chippy attidudes at home then there is a good chance they can pull it off.
There is still one ore tough game to win after the Pats. I'm hoping for San Diego to upset the Colts because the Jags know how to beat them. If they are able to pull this off and make the big game then I'm confident that the Jags can whoop any NFC team their matched up with.
Anyone know about Henderson's status?
^ I think I read that he had a strained hamstring. Let's hope he can heal for next Saturday.
Less than 24 hours to go. All of the injured Jaguars will play except Mike Peterson. This is the way I look at this game tomorrow. The Jags have nothing to lose. It will be a close game. Hopefully a turnover will go there way in a critical time and help push the Jags to one of the biggest upsets in sports history. If they win, this city will explode.
This game is huge for Jax fans (Dolphin fans, too! ;) ) and the whole city. Of course, the NFL Network is busy with its Path to Perfection showing constantly...it makes me sick. The Jags indeed have nothing to lose. Search and destroy, take no prisoners. Go Jags!!!!
With 96% of the country routing for the 32nd most popular team what a great night this can be. Go Jags beat those cheatin Pats and bring back Brady's supermodel for the trophy case!
Good season Jags, but the Pats offense was too much to handle. Indy has a better defensive secondary so if they can get past SD, hopefully they can take down the Pats.
As for the Jags, I think we can easily see where the team needs to improve in the offseason if it wants to compete with the big boys of the AFC.
Good job Jags. Two dropped balls cost us touchdowns and a fumble gave one away. We were still competitive with one of the all time great teams.
Great try Jags!! To all of you Pats Haters,, 17-0, you can put an asterisk where ever you feel like.. Every team in the NFL films the entire game there is not one single team that is innocent. They all look for an edge where they can find it, if they don't then they're not doing their jobs. the Pats just got caught.. They have been the most scrutinized team in the league all year long and are still undefeated... Hate on them all you want,Fin Fans, 2 games left until you are not alone in perfection any more, get ready cause it's coming!!!!
No shame in that game boyz. You made me proud as hell of Jacksonville! In spite of the final score and a few mistakes, we finally have a team that won't be seen as "That no name team, from the no name city, in a no name TV market, and no name players..." The world has heard our thunder, and next year could be the year of the lightning! GO JAGS! WE LOVE YOU ALL!
Ocklawaha
your right, we have something to be proud, I was a first time season ticket holder this year, and I would pay for next year today If i had to. You cant put a price tag on the memories my wife and I made this year at the games.
Soxfan, I'd say something nasty, but I won't. I mean, if it's in the bag, then let's just give them the Lombardi Trophy now rather than play the rest of the games. ::) It's all up to Indy, now.
All I have to say about the Jags is: Rashean Mathis needs to fricking work on some fundamentals like coverage and tackling!!!
Mr.Native, Please don't hold back. I've taken crap all season long about how my Pats are cheats and everything else. I'm sorry but I am damn proud to be a Patriots fan.. I've suffered through many many losing seasons to get to this point, I will enjoy every minute of this championship... Jags fans have nothing to be ashamed of, it was a great season and a good game.. I guess you really must be in a bad mood now that Indy has lost also. I guess that just leaves San Diego and then the NFC.. I don't believe it's in the bag as I truly believe that any team can lose on any given day.. I guess Indy just proved that.. As far as Mathis is concerned, I think he's one of the better players on the Jags, maybe he just had a bad game?? I know alot of teams try to play away from him, so he can't be all that bad..
Hey sox, I would definitely tell you to enjoy it. As a Fins fan, I have to admit that I now know how you feel with the losing seasons.
Mathis did not just have a bad game. He seemed to play timidly, not wrapping up making tackles...he didn't even bother to read Brady to make interceptions. He also got burned on a couple of long passes, without Randy Moss!
Yeah, football season is pretty much finished for me now. I guess I'll pull for San Diego and/or Green Bay, but I'm not holding my breath. I really thought the Jags could pull off something special this year. If they keep the team intact, they definitely have something to build on for next season.
We played a good game. I think some people lose sight of the fact that the Patriots are undefeated and the Jags hung with them. With a veteran receiver and some help on defense, they will be even better. Also, let's not forget that they were playing without their best o-lineman (Naeole) and maybe their best d-lineman and linebacker (Stroud and Peterson). This offseason, look for Garrard and Del Rio to get locked up long-term.
I definitely feel that if the Jags are all back next year they will again be contenders. Second, of course, to a Pats super bowl win I'd love to see a Jags super bowl win.. If the Pats were taken out by anyone I wanted it to be Jax. I was hoping for the Bolts to lose last week so the Jags would've played in Indy instead. I do consider myself a Jags fan also, just a Pats first.. I think a Jags super bowl appearance would be huge not only for the team but for the city, remember that unnamed stadium we have? If the Jags were to have made it I'd be willing to bet that there would be a new name on the stadium shortly thereafter. The Jags definitely need defensive help, there is talk of Stroud retiring after the latest injury to the same ankle, that would be a huge loss. Garrard could use a sure handed target as well. I don't think that Matt Jones has lived up to the hype.. With the right off season moves the Jags could be super bowl bound next year...
well agree with that but first this team need some mental streghht and they cant lose games there suppose to win like the one with the saints...............that was pathetic
I past years I would agree with you 100 % but not this year, not even close. number 1 the saints game was with a backup QB, stroud had just been busted by the NFL for banned substances and 2 players got arrested before the trip. On top of that the main thing that hurt us in that game was the same exact thing that hurt us in the Pats game, weak secondary play. This team showed a lot of metal toughness this year. There were many chances to over look games to get to another one.
The first Texans game at home, coming of two big road wins in Denver and KC and the monday night game against indy the next week, could have been a trap game, but they took care of business and beat the texans. After loosing a heartbreaker to indy on monday night and loosing your starting QB this team regrouped and won 2 of the 3 on the road with a backup, the one loss coming to the saints. Then after another tough loss at Indy they regrouped and won the next 3 would have been 4 but they tanked the second texans game. So I think one of many things this 07 jags team did was show that have grown up and have mental toughness they need to win games.
Since the Jags couldn't pull off the win I'll be pulling for the Pats to go all the way. That way NOBODY will have the bragging rights of being better than the Pats because they beat EVERYBODY!
The first half was played very well but the second was full of errors. All it takes is one mistake and the game can turn for any team. In this case the mistake was against the Jags and the Pats capitalized on it.
Can't wait for next year though. Goooo JAGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's right, Jason...hitch on that bandwagon and ride it. Everybody loves a winner. ::)
Its looking bleak, but I'm now pulling for San Diego, Green Bay and NY Giants. Soxfan don't be alarmed. I'm a Dolphin at heart so I feel the same way about New England, that I do with Buffalo and the Jets. Tom Brady falls in the same category as Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas and Curtis Martin in my book.
Well, the AFC South is out of the running so I have nobody to root for there. Also, I have never liked San Diego nor do I want to see Coughlin's Giants at the superbowl so I would like to see the Pats go undefeated keeping the trophy on the AFC's side. Also, its time for the old 'Fins record to be squashed.

I have similar feelings. I'm not sure what it would take to get a sponsor for the stadium, but I enjoy seeing how the Jags success has brought people out and together. I heard they opened up the stadium for the game on Saturday, which I thought was a great idea. I went to the Jags-Pats playoff game 2 years ago and even then, I saw a fair number of Jags fans. Hopefully the success will continue and they'll be able to put an end to the blackouts.
I was at the Landing Friday Night and Stadium Saturday night on both playoff games.
for the wildcard game I would estimate 8k people and for the Pats game probably 15k

That will never happen. You can't defeat perfection, you can only be admitted to the VIP section. As Mercury Morris has said, "don't call me when you're in my town, call me when you're on my block, and I see you next door moving your furniture in. That's when I'll know you're going to the championship and you're about to play. And if you win it, I'll be dressed up in a tuxedo waiting on my bride."

Hmmm...uh, no. HELLLLLL NO!! :P
Ditto what Lake said. Think of the Dolphins record as an historical building. Hey, don't we like preservation here at MetroJax? ;) I'll be pulling for anybody to beat these Pats...maybe the Giants/Packers could do it, but I'd rather not be stressed out during the Super Bowl. I'm a Chargers fan right now.
You can defeat it by winning 19 games versus the 16 the Dolphins played.
The Dolphins will still have their historic building but the Pats could have shiny new modern building right next door that is 3 games taller... ;)
Records are meant to be broken and by winning 19 consecutive games over the old set of 16 is a record breaking season. Hell, if the NFL goes through with adding another regular season game (as rumored) someone could step up and break it all over again.
That's a technicality. The game played then was very different to how its played now. While there are now two more games in a season, the rules have also changed to allow offenses to move the ball better and score more points. The Brady/Moss/Welker connection would not put up the points it did this year if roll blocking, cutting receivers, and making physical contact with them downfield were still allowed. As for the longest consecutive winning streak, the Patriots already own that. They won 21 in a row between the 2003 and 2004 seasons.
I think the Dolphins is more impressive when you look at who they were playing against in the AFC. Noll's Steelers, Madden's Raiders. These are some of the all-time great teams.
If the Pats beat the Packers in the super bowl they will have beaten 8 of the other 11 playoff teams including a the Manning led colts.

What a fantastic win in Pittsburgh...again! Well soxfan, as a Fins fan first, Jags second, I was hoping that they would play the Pats because if there's a team to upset the Pats, I think the Jags can do it. And now, after San Diego's win, the Jags will go to Foxboro. As a Fins fan, I really hope the Pats get beat by Jax. I despise Tom Brady and Bellicheat (oops, Freudian slip!), and I want my Fins to remain the sole undefeated team in a season.
However a win up there is not my final wish for the Jaguars. I want them in the Super Bowl, as well. Go Jags, not just for the Fins, but for the city of Jacksonville also!
Bump.
10 years ago, we were going into Pittsburgh in the playoffs to try to beat Big Ben and the Steelers for the second time in a season, with the winner going on to play the Patriots.
Here we go again.
GO JAGS.

I hope the outcome is better this time. Go Jags!
Well, hopefully it's not windy and snowing. I remember that being the case in '97.
On second thought, hopefully it is very windy and snowing.
Temps in the mid-40s, little chance of rain. Looks good for a Jaguars victory.

Congrats on proving you belonged in the AFC championship game. In 2018 I hope you do even better. Can you please beat the Titans twice this year?
