Just read BIG Rich Collier will make an appearance at tonights game and he'll be a captain for the coin toss!
Tonight will be another great showcase for Jax on national t.v. - people all over the country freezing their buns will see us in short pants & short sleeves.
Although nothing beats this;

Anyone going to bring a broom to the game?
There was a similar clip from the Steelers game 2 years ago. Hilarious.
:D :D Thanks Shwaz... I remember seeing that live as it happened... :D :D
Love it!!!
I'm fired up for the game tonight. I really wish I had tickets...
Jags, please wear all black tonight :)
I think they retired the all black. In fact, they haven't worn the black pants in several weeks.

Unfortunately I heard the same. I liked the all black... thought it looked it tough.
There has been a rumor that a uniform change may be in the works this offseason. Nothing drastic but slight changes. The last big change was from teal to black lettering on their white jerseys.
WHAT!!! You have to be kidding? Why on God's green Earth would they do that?! :(
I think the uniform should evolve it has been 15 years now. I think it'd be cool to have "throw-back" uni's like some of the other teams have. Also that will create more jersey's and apparrel for sale which should help the team too.
True. I do like a good throw-back.
I just really love that uniform. Well, can't wait to see what they come up with to replace it.
Any predictions for the game?
I don't think it's a full replace. Teams like the Seahawks, Cardinals and Falcons have altered their uniforms to make the logo, jerseys and helmet look more modern.
Quotedon't think it's a full replace
Me neither.
I was watching the NFL Production of the 96 Playoff game vs. Denver and thought our uniforms looked different even back then. I can't put my finger on exactly what is is though...

we're supposed to go teal tonight. I'll be teal from shirt to head:)
They have had some good shots of Jacksonville tonight, but the BOA building just gets lost because it has poor exterior lighting.
They even had shots of St. Augustine tonight - The NFL Network did a nice job.
Where was this Jaguars team in the previous 9 losses? Given they did lose tonight, but they actually put up a FIGHT. Garrard had targets to throw to, showing how much Matt Jones is expendable.
Garrard blew it in the fourth quarter.
Great game. I was watching at home and my wife swore that the players could hear me yelling!
The first half was brilliant. Can't wait to see what this team can do next season with a healthy starting core.
What a game!
Second week in a row with absolutely perfect weather. I cheered so loud that the inside of my head feels like a broken shell with jagged pieces piercing my brain.... the beer may have played a part in that too.
Garrard was amazing in the first half and the receivers as a whole probably had their best performance of the season.
I was in the bathroom at halftime and heard all kinds of people talking up the Gators and the national championship game up coming. It was one huge argument between gator fans, Oklahoma fans, and gator haters. One gator fan piped up with "this is Jacksonville, Gator country - Reggie Nelson's a gator" and this older guy outta nowhere yells "THAN TELL THAT MOTHER... TO TACKLE SOMEBODY"
I almost fell on the ground laughing because wow was Nelson bad last night... Manning completed his first 20 passes or something like that and almost all of them were thrown at Reggie. It was a disappointing performance from him big time.
I feel bad for Garrard throwing the pick six and getting sacked to end the game. If MJD hadn't sprained his knee we could got 2 more plays off with extra 10 seconds that run-off rule cost us. JDR said he was getting ready to go for 2 and the win if they scored the TD. That would have been too sweet!
I was looking forward to the two point conversion for the win as well. Although, OT would have bought the city a bit more prime time coverage and shots of the city.
Mathis was very much missed. I'm sure he would have had at least one pick if he were in the game.
Mathis was not that good before the injury anyways, I don't think he would have made much difference. Manning was just sharp all night, he made throws that no cornerback would have gotten, especially anyone on the Jaguars. The offense played pretty well, but the defense was garbage again. Garrard played a decent game then decided to forget how to play in the final minutes of the 4th. I have high hopes next year, but I sure do hope that they can find some better players in free agency and the draft. We do need to weed out some crappy players
The total lack of lighting on the BOA building is horrible. Those were some beautiful shots of downtown last night for sure. Once it gets truly dark, unless you already know the BOA building is there, it would be very easy to miss it. Its the largest building in Florida outside of Miami and you'd never know it's there. That really needs to change.
The shots around town were terrific.
I was diggin the shots of the square in St. Augustine. If you haven't been down there to check out the "Nights of Lights" I highly recommend it.
Great game dispite the lose of course. Alot of energy on both sides. If the defense plays a little better-Jags would have won that game. Peyton receivers were wide open as you can be. It still was good to see what we saw most of last year. Jags moved the ball very well. They still need to put Manning on the ground if not doesnt matter how much we score they will match it and wait for the mistake just like last night. Still a good game, the crowd was loud and had energy. Shots of downtown were great, still to dark though. :)

I agree, Its time are new uniforms. The current ones ain't bad, but its apart of creating history.
