"[W]e've tried everything we could think of to find a stadium solution," the Chargers explain in their comments. "We made nine separate stadium proposals. . . . So it is incredibly unfair that the Chargers' great fans are now bearing the brunt of the decisions made by politicians over the last 14 years."

"bearing the brunt" - LOL. Let the Chargers fans pay for the stadium if they want the team to stay. Why should everyone in San Diego pay the price for a football team they don't have any interest in?

Blaine Gabbert: The Real American

Last night's Panthers-Colts game was pretty friggin good. You had underdog comebacks, Bank of America protesters repelling down the side of the stadium and an OT win for the home team.

As a Jag fan I should be rooting for the Colts to lose but I couldn't help it, they pulled off a 4th quarter comeback and they weren't content to just tie it up. They kept throwing endzone strikes, but were forced to kick the late FG to tie it up. Too bad they couldn't hold on in OT. One of the most entertaining games I've seen all year.

In all fairness to Tomsula, Blaine hasn't played a game for a while now so it's easy to forget how bad he can look during a game. 

And it was well known while he was here that he's a beast in practice; he's just never been able to translate his practice performance to gameday.

But in all seriousness, they can't get worse than Kaepernick right now, can they?

This is the best move the 49ers can make right now. Maybe not a GOOD move but given the obvious.

Kaepernick and company has not had a TD in three games! And when they did it was too the Ravens which has many troubles of it's own.  Plus he seems to have lost the confidence of the locker room. How true rumors about the team's dysfunction can be debated but of there's that much smoke in the first place...

Gabbert certainly had all the tools when he came in to the NFL, but one of his problems is that he didn't take hits well so wheneve he sensed any pressure (especially with that Jags O-line) he left the pocket and rushed a lot of his throws way too often. Also he plated in a spread offense in Mizzou and was able to have his pick of wide-open receivers but off course even with stellar protection QBs rarely have the time for plays like that to take shape with the better corners and safeties out there at the NFL level.

Hope he's learned some lessons since being cut by the Jags. Best of luck to him!

Apparently Twickenham stadium ("the home of rugby union") is going to host three NFL matches from October 2016 onwards.

The article says three per season, but I think it might be one per season.

Continuing on the theme of second chances for former Jags, Mike Mularkey is now (interim) head coach for the Titans.

Your Jags fandom is under scrutiny.

Haha I just like a good game. The Colts pulled off something I wish the Jags would learn how to do, a 4th quarter comeback! That and i wanted them to wreck Carolina's perfect record. AFC south: the division of spoilers!

Tebow to Baltimore!

I hope.

The last two Jags games/wins (BAL & TEN) were fourth quarter comebacks.

Yea, the Jaguars were trailing in the final five minutes of each of their last 3 wins...

I'm a Jag homer and all, but I'm also a football realist. Is it me or barring some unforeseen circumstances, the Super Bowl is destined to be New England vs Carolina or Arizona? There's tons of subpar/average football teams this year; I never remembered anything like this.

Usually depends on who gets hot going into the playoffs.
