17 Del Rio trades game with Browns for match with Panthers, bets Charlotte if he wins the game Jacksonville can have their lynx light rail system. Jags win, North Florida finally gets light rail.
11-2-1 and meh
Have the Jags ever tied a game?
Edit: Just checked, no ties yet.
Quote16 at New England Patriots (Jags force Tom Brady off the field in tears as Garrard does the statue of liberty before he supermans his mom, W)
I would love to see the first part... second part too if we can sub Tom's mom for Gisselle.
I'm still pissed at that play he pulled on us during the '08 playoffs. Statue of liberty play? c'mon. We really need to pay them back for that.

Has the NFL always allowed tie games? I didn't notice any until a year or two ago.
Brady completed his first 28 passes of that game too!
Still trying to forget both Matt Jones & Northcutt dropping sure touch down passes.
I have to admit the statue of liberty was pulled off pretty well. :-\
QuoteHas the NFL always allowed tie games? I didn't notice any until a year or two ago.
Yes... regular season only. One quarter of sudden death overtime. If teams still tied it is booked as a tie.
Gotcha. I'm not a huge football fan outside of the Jags so I never payed much attention.
This site says the entire NFL only averages 0.5 a year:

I love the Jags and wish and hope they become super bowl contenders this year; but this is wishful thinking; too many unknown issues and disarray in the team's chemistry at present; this was evident all last season.
I hope I am wrong with the above predictions, however, I predict 6-10 with Head Coach Jack Del Rio being fired. Then whoever takes over the team the next year, hopefully a good, well known and established Head Coach (Bill Cowher?) will put the Jags back on the map.
Lastly, in my opinion, Tom Coughlin's firing was very premature and impatient. I've always felt they should have held on to him, been patient, and I'll bet a super bowl trophy would now sit at Jax Municipal Stadium. The Jaguars were more successful (division titles, Championships, etc.) during Coughlin.

Coughlin is a great coach but unfortunately that wasn't his only title here. He was GM and offensive coordinator too. He ran the team into the red financially and couldn't handle both responsibilities on the field. He wasn't going to relinquish those roles and had to be let go for the mess he made.
QuoteThe Jaguars were more successful (division titles, Championships, etc.) during Coughlin
1. That was a different division for the most part.
2. There was no Peyton Manning / Tony Dungy then
Don't forget he was 1 bad play from being dismantled in NY and unemployed once again during the Giants Superbowl season.
Very true! Man, that was an ugly catch!
(http://blog.syracuse.com/strangecny/2008/02/tyree.jpg)
Still a win though. And it was great watching the Pats suffer defeat after going 18-0.... they've been the thorn in the Jag's playoff hopes dating back to 1996, so I really really enjoyed that one.
Alright I’m setting a calendar reminder for late December about this thread. I'll post then to see who's predictions come true. Seriously: I’m thinking 8-8 or 9-7 tops, with a slim chance for playoffs.
After losing Fred Taylor, who will smack that Jaguars defense ass when the Jags play the Pats, it's laughable that they expect us to have hope. You'd have a pair of big ones to give them anymore than 6-8 wins this season.
I'll wait until the draft before my overall regular season predictions. It's all good that MJD got his loot, but Garrard still doesn't have a reliable WR to throw the ball to. I'm still thinking optimistic though, atleast playoffs.
How about Boldin? He's available for a team willing to give up their 1st & 3rd round picks.
Yeah, we definitely could use him. 1st, and 3rd is kinda high though. Why do we wait so late? Looks like the Holt thing ain't working. Hey Lake, how do you think your Phins are gonna do?
The Phins have a tough schedule, so I don't think they'll be as successful as last year.

My guess, which will change after the draft and preseason, is that they'll finish up around 10-6 or 9-7.
QuoteGotcha. I'm not a huge football fan outside of the Jags so I never payed much attention.
This will be Jack Del Rio's curtain call. If Weaver cleaned out Shack, he surely will not tolerate another mediocre season with all of Del Rio's excuses.....
The phins are not going to beat the Jags or the Colts.
I don't see the Dolphins beating any of the AFC South... ;)
A year ago, I didn't see a 1-15 team, going 11-5 record and winning the AFC East outright, the following season either. :)
QuoteHow about Boldin? He's available for a team willing to give up their 1st & 3rd round picks.
That's a lot to give a 30 year old receiver who hasn't really proved himself to be a true #1 receiver.
The new GM is all about young player's and as many draft pick's as possible.
QuoteThis will be Jack Del Rio's curtain call. If Weaver cleaned out Shack, he surely will not tolerate another mediocre season with all of Del Rio's excuses.....
DelRio was just signed to a long term contract and is one season removed from the divisional round of the playoff's. Weaver knows the team is rebuilding and has realistic expectations. JDR is safe.
QuoteWhy do we wait so late?
It's only April!! Ask yourself why Holt and Harrison haven't been signed by another team... In fact, other than the Cutler trade and the Haynesworth acquisition the free agent market has been pretty quiet.
I heard on 930 AM that Arizona would settle for two number two's(this year, and next year) and a four.

Thats what I was thinking. Jags have never been swept by the whole division before.
i see 8-8 record. Doesnt look like a good year for the teal. Jacks last season.
They wont get swept by the whole division. Football season hasn't even started and we already have nails in the coffin.

Its not a pretty schedule, I am a little nervous about it. Most are going off of last years results, with a weaker schedule.
It's pretty safe to say 9-7, I still stand by my predictions.
Let's use this thread to post the scores instead of creating a new one every game. The moderators can edit this thread and post the scores for the rest of the season. Cool? Cool.

At least we had playoff hopes for a few weeks.
