BUY JAGS TICKETS!!!!!!!!!!!

cdb · August 14, 2009, 10:44:20 AM

OK just had a co-worker buy 2 season tickets. It's his first year with tickets. Working on another co-worker that's going to buy 2 tickets on the half season pack. Kristin, how do you get involved with the Jags Champions Club and what are the benefits of it? Obviously, other than supporting the team?

I am not a member (I tried to join but was disqualified for not living within driving distance of the stadium), but I know they get some special behind-the-scenes benefits such as the post-draft dinner with the rookies, coaches, and some veteran players; as well as getting to go on the field before certain games. On Jaguars.com there is an application to join the club and I am pretty sure it lists some of the benefits.

Go Jags!!!! I was a season ticket holder for years. I plan to be again. I agree the city of Jacksonville needs the Jags.

Granted it was only pre season game one last night but... I did not see too much to get excited about...

Garrard making 10 million a year is a joke.

cdb · August 18, 2009, 09:45:27 AM

Garrard definitely looks suspect, that laid back attitude he has makes me nervous. There were some good things last night though. 2 interceptions. we scored a TD that was called back but they never showed the actual hold they threw the flag for, so not really sure what happened there. 3rd round pick Knighton was impressive, that's what we need. A big body to push the opponent OLine back into their QB. MJD playing one series, what is that? Anyway I am still confident we can have a good year and already have our plans set for tailgating this Saturday, it will be an all day affair, NFL football is back baby!!!!! Go Jags!!!

I am so glad that football is back!!!! My weekends will finally have meaning once again. I can't wait to watch every game from somewhere DT.

I think most of the rookies I saw (Monroe, Dillard, Miller, Knighton) looked very solid. I think Considine, Holt and Tra Thomas look like good additions. Garrard is still the key and that has me worried. I don't see him as an elite QB, which is how he is being paid. There was at least one sack last night that he had enough time but help onto the ball too long and got sacked.

Man, it was GREAT to watch some football!!!!!!

I agree, nothing overly exciting but it was the first preseason game. IMO, the rookies stepping up will be the key this season. Garrard should be solid.

I think Garrard has no confidence in the recievers (except Holt) and thats why he holds the ball too long and gets sacked, he doesnt think they will be where they are supposed to be hen he throws... he is going to have to trust them and hopefully they are in the right spot and catch the ball. might as well do it in pre-season....

Zissou you might only be able to watch those away games at a bar downtown, for the home games, u better get some tix, cause they will most likely be blacked out....

It'll be nice to get some national network broadcasting (at least for the away games). No fault to Tony Boselli, but the CBS 47 broadcast last night was terrible on all accounts (audio/video) - and has been for a couple of years now. 3rd down and.................BLACK SCREEN! Surely, technology has evolved better than this. Not to be a Wendy Whiner, but it wasn't the 1st time.

BridgeTroll · August 18, 2009, 03:18:47 PM

You are 100% correct Blizz... it was awful... unprofessional... unacceptable... exceedingly poor...amatuerish... embarrassing.

P.S. ~~Farve~~ Favre is now a Viking...

^Can this guy just go away?

Yes, I thought the broadcast was a slight step above my High School A/V class. Wow.

With regard to the Jags themselves, my concern is that Garrard doesn't seem to have a lot of confidence in anyone but Holt. This will take time. That, and the fact that the O-Line has been suspect wouldn't give ANYONE a lot of confidence.

My grade for the Passing game would be I for Incomplete. Manuwai didn't start, and I don't see Tra Thomas starting. The true test is the third preseason game. That to me will tell us what kind of year we will have.

CBS in Jacksonville could be the worst station in the nation. That's no exaggeration.
