Not a good start to the day. No word on what violation it was but I assume curfew. Hopefully Holt or one of the rookies can step it up.
Not even he could/would have helped - oh, my..............
Hopefully we can win next week, it's the f*cking Rams!
That was painful. What a pitiful performance by the entire team. It looked like only Holt, Landri, Podlesh and some of the rookies were the only players that wanted to be there.
What a nightmare, not a good way to get fan support. Atleast the Texans lost as well.
Ugh... >:(
Can't wait to hear local sports radio tomorrow. Remind me to start Steven Jackson next week.
Seattle Seahawks 41 ;D Jacksonville Jaguar's 0 :'(
This is the very reason no one takes the Jags seriously no matter their record. It will be interesting to see what the attendance will be next Sunday. Any momentum they had is gone, gone, gone.
35,000.

Why? Their run defense has been solid most of the year. Their pass defense is terrible but so are the Rams.
So maybe Avery should be the WR pick up of the week.
Wow, what a bummer. (http://www.v6performance.net/forums/images/smilies/doh2.gif)
I agree lakelander, the radio guys are going to lay into them tomorrow. Deservingly so IMHO.
Well, the team is probably moving again, at least this week.
OCKLAWAHA
This was a tough one. With the home games blacked out, many who haven't seen the Jags probably watched today's game. And, for all the talk of the community needing to buy tickets to support the team, it's hard to expect that support when the Jags present such an awful product. The Jags QUIT. Harvey is going through the motions, Mathis looks to be playing two-hand-touch, and Sims-Walker can't follow team rules. The coaching was uninspired. There's no shame in losing, but great shame in going through the motions. It was a head-scratcher for a young team which should have a perpetual chip on its shoulder.
The Jaguars desparately need something to build upon, at least to show desire and competetiveness, even if they don't win. Today was an embarassment to the organization - and they deserve the lack of support their likely to realize next week. I'm a season ticket holder, and I'll be there - but it's sad to see a team which needs the support of its fans do so little today to earn their support.

The Rams are the worst team in the league. Next week will more like the Titans game last week. The only reason a Ram might be a good fantasy play is because they will be so far behind, they will be throwing on every play.
If you want to lose your home, bet on the Jags. We've seen this type of team far to long. What gives?

Say this out loud.. "JACKSONVILLE" Jaguars. In a city hellbent on knocking down every historic building/monument, etc.. in town, why would their hometown football team be any different?

How does that in any way have to do with a sports team?
You know they only missed the record set in 1995 at the hands of the Titians because they ran out of time. Maybe the next game. :-\
The Titans weren't a team in 1995.

They need to go through the motions of throw, catch, score. Even awful teams manage to get a fluke field goal. To go scoreless in the NFL is an embarrassment. I couldn't believe how badly that game went yesterday.

This is not to excuse yesterday's performance in the slightest, but:
1) Blowouts happen in the NFL and I don't think it's realistic to say the team wasn't trying every time it performs badly. The same thing was thrown around constantly after the Arizona game.
2) Yes, the Jaguars were awful yesterday. Considering they are in the top 10 in the NFL in winning percentage since 1995, were contenders throughout 2004-07, and may well end up contenders this year (it's hard to get a good read on a team with tons of new players to integrate, and they've obviously been inconsistent), and that quite a few teams are obviously far worse, I don't get the assertions that the Jaguars regularly present an "awful" product. But I see them a lot.

I assume it refers to the fact that when you read the T-U message boards, the Jaguars.com boards, etc. there's a number of people who seem to take pleasure in mocking the team, speculating on/rooting for its moving, proudly declaring reasons for not buying tickets despite having the means to do so, etc. It comes off as self-immolation much like knocking down historic buildings without realizing what they're worth.
What an aweful game. But I watched every second to the very end and will be there secreaming in the stands this week against the Rams. From what I've seen, the Rams are a consistently bad team. The Jags had a bad day coupled with a great day for the Seahawks (who are obviously better than advertised). Sunday should be a great day for football. The weather predictions are favorable, the matchup is favorable, and the comming bye week will be a great chance to regroup and rest up for a better Titans team.
I just bought a 3 pack of tickets this morning.
They had a bad game. They have had good games as well.
People don't understand that even a mediocre NFL team is still a freak'n NFL team....in their city......support it.

I feel your pain, I'm a seminole fan just like you and I would much rather watch jaguars football then fsu right now.
Please, let's keep this in perspective:
Yes, the game yesterday was awful. No, there is no excuse for this. With that said, these things happen. In 2006 when the Jaguars beat the Jets 41-0, the Jets went on to make the playoffs, and not the Jaguars. Will that same thing happen this year - probably not.
Guys, like it or not, this is a rebuilding year. It is what it is. I stand by my preseason prediction of 8-8. This will not make the playoffs, but it will build on next year.
And it could be worse - think about what the tenessean is saying right now about the Titans.
Good points Steve. I thought the same thing about that Jets game. We still have an easy stretch of games coming up. The Seahawks with Hasselbeck at QB are much better than people realized. Before last season, the had made the playoffs something like 6 years straight.
Brian Sexton summed it up perfectly... after reading a Bud Light commercial about "drinkability" he said "if this game was a beer - It'd be hard to swallow"
Very disappointing. If Harvey can't rack up 1 sack against a lineman just called up from the practice squad.... he's not NFL caliber.
At least Groves hit somebody... albeit on the way to the air port.
Copperfiend-- have we not learned yet there is no such thing as an easy schedule especially when talking about the Jags. We had this same issue last yr with a so called easy teams and what happen. They only defeated the Lions. I'll be in the stands very nervous next Sunday.
The Rams of 2009 are the Lions. They are god awful.
^ Should make this sunday's game that much better! After only getting to hear the Jags/Titans stomping and then having to watch the Jags do the opposite the next week we should be excited to get to see our home town heroes possibly lay another NFL sized stomping.
"Let's go Jaguars, Let's GO! Woot Woot!!!!
I'll say this. Anyone can be anyone on any given week (usually not 41-0 however). With that said, I am confident that the Jags will win this week. Maybe I shouldn't be, but I am.

I want revenge.
The Jags should've kicked the field goal, instead of going for it on forth down. Seattle took that decision as trying to show them up, and momentum clearly changed after that. If you can't get a TD on three downs, then why try for 4th, esp. on the first drive of the game? I personally thought that going for it was dumb, but I guess that's just me. We will never win cosistently until we put some kinda pressure on the opposing QB.
I couldn't believe Garrard threw the ball away on fourth down.

We went for it because we're the Cardiac Cats, too bad most fans went into cardiac arrest after watching that game.
Sam with Channel 4 sports said that it was obvious that the Seattle film studies snuffed out that 4th down and 1 play. With a runner like MJD, why throw? Then Garrard throws it away? Throw it at a Jag, maybe we get pass-interference, something.
I don't think the whole team was ready, mentally, to play that game.
Clearly they were not. They treated this as a high school field trip. One guy is so late for the charter he causes a three car pileup at the airport, and actually misses the flight. The other actually made the flight but enjoyed the extra time in Seattle to party and miss curfew. Seattle is a fun town but visit during the off season... These were just the two that got caught effing up. Chances are real good many of the players spent too much time NOT preparing for the game. JDR was right to de activate Sims Walker... I bet he wanted to deactivate a few others also...

:) and you were saying, I had to take two tylenol when I got home from the game. As I said no such thing as a easy game when dealing with the Jags. Anyway glad we won.
