What others are saying
- STADIUM - A NEW ONE !!Build a new stadium in southpoint capacity 50 K max - raise tix to cover it - tv revenue will be there as it will SELL OUT - Jax is large but population is not - DO IT !!!!
- Jags NEW ticket pricesI was pleased this morning to hear about the reduced Jags season ticket prices.....that is, until I went to the Jags website to see what the offered. Two whole nose bleed sections, 432 & 441, each on the outer edge of the visiting teams side. What a joke!! I'm definitely going to be an arena league guy when it comes to football in Jax.
Maybe if this team was worth anything, it may be different, but they're not, and quite frankly, I see no reason for them to stay. Sure, it would be sad for a small time, but eventually, a better team will come along, and if not, then we can bring a MLB team here, because I'm oh so tired of the Marlins. Jax would be a prime spot for a MLB team, just check out the great attendance record for the Suns!
As for the Jags, if ownership REALLY wanted to fill the stadium, then they have to realize the nearly 17% unemployment/under-employment rate here, and they have to realize fans find it much easier, and affordable, to watch games at home, where beer isn't $8 a 12oz cup, and pretzels aren't $5 each. This team, owner, coaches, and players alike, are going to have to take it in the wallet, just like the population they so desperately want to attract. If not, then I'm sure the lure of LA and their high-dollar economy will do them just fine, and I'm equally sure they won't mind those wonderful California taxes, and the occasional shaking of the earth beneath them. Lord knows they've never made the earth move here.
Face it Jags, you either need to work with the people, or pack your bags, because you're just not good enough the play with the big boys, and charge anything close to what they charge. We will not be held responsible for your irresponsible salaries. It's all on you, and quite frankly, we don't need you.
Just my opinion, but I think alot of folks would feel the same way. - The Jags Moving?Do they need help in packing their trucks? They are all over paid prema donnas that use to play the game of football, Back in college that is.
- Move Them To OaklandThrough thick and thin I have always supported the Jaguars, even against those that wanted the team to leave town. Sunday's game changed my mind, especially when the sports announcer mentioned several times that the Jags didn't want it as badly as the winning team. I am now on the side that wants the team to leave, then put in place a football team that is hungry to win.
- Game AttendanceDon't forget that full time Gator students get in FREE at the games and that makes it uncomparable to the Jaguars atttendance. We do not have students! Earning $12.00 per hour at age 39 makes it to where you cannot afford to go to either. Sad.
- MJD leads NFL Rushing TDs!Jay, you didn't even mention this in your morning commentary. Yeh, he's tied with Peterson, but Jags Fans should know this. Fail dude.
- Seattle game perspective from a JAX fan in SeattleI am a JAX native living in the Seattle are who attends numerous Seahawks games. I thought JAX was going to come into the game running the ball more and controlling the clock, especially since our pass defense is dead last and Hasselbeck returned to play.
However, I also noticed the focus of the team was off. The look in Garrard's eyes and the look that Del Rio had were looks of failure to properly prepare and lead. We PASSED the ball on the 2 yard line on 4th and 1??!?!!!! QB turnover on the 9 yard line? Passed the ball all the time?
I told my friends around me that the Jags are going about it all wrong against Seattle from about the first 6 minutes of the game and I was right.
What an embarrassment!
Now I don't know about getting rid of the coach, but why is it that Coach Tom Coughlin struggled in JAX but then made it big in NY? What's wrong with Jacksonville?!?!?! - Jags sportguyWho is this new Jags commentator? He is so negative. Never has a nything good to say about the team or players even when there is something positive. He is a DRAG.
No spirit like Cole Pepper had. - Post game showWhere is Pete Banacek?? The show is not good without Pete!!
- Post Game Comentary and Pete BanacekThis season is just going to flat out suck, isn't it. Jags are struggling. Any player I ever cared about is gone. And now no Pete? Where's Pete? What happened to him? Anyone know?
- Post Game Comentary and Pete BanacekI can not find word one about what happened to Pete? This new guy they have is horrible. Where's Pete?!? Any links to any announcements would be appreciated!
Go Jags! - Jack Del RioI am a fan in good times and bad! Don't blame this game on the fans! They got a bada product last year and tell me do you buy a bad product at Publix if you bought it before and got burned! NO!!!! I starting to think Jack Del Rio ego is the problem! He can't see the obvious problems with his ego! Or worst he see the problem and refuses to do the work to correct and fix the problems and its not all players it coaching those players! Bear Bryant proved that! They need basic coaching! Where is Mike Smith when you need him! Yes the draft has killed us and we need to forget Tebow draft defense and get a Jeff Garcia for backup! Reggie Nelson got to learn how to tackle the legs! Step it up Jack or step out! We have filled that stadium many times and will again when we see some real quality in product! Money is tight and why spend hard money on crap! I will be there the next game! COACHING!!!!
- JagsThe Jags need to watch the movie FACING THE GIANTS and remember the team used to be a Christian team and they need to be in prayer. I pray for them. Let God back into the game. I can't afford to go to the games but I listen on the radio when possible. I look at Tony Dungy and his faith in God. I pray the Jags can do the same.
- Here is the News Article about the free scrimmage tonighthttp://www.jaguars.com/News/Article.aspx?id=6177
- Jaguars Practice ScheduleAnybody know where this is on this site? WOKV only says it ten million times a day that the schedule is here and yet it is apparently buried somewhere.
- Where is ColeIs he still going to do the pregame and post game report?
- Cole PepperThis site still sucks without Cole Pepper. IMO.
- Letting Fred GoI respect Fred Taylor immensely, both as a player and as a person. However, releasing him was truly in the best interest of the Jaguars as an organization. He is 33 years old, which is ancient for a running back - they typically don't last much longer than 30 or 31 years old. Yes, the Jaguars brass have made some poor decisions in signing high priced free agents in recent years, but I believe that new GM Gene Smith is putting an abrupt and firm end to that philosophy and is making the right moves. There comes a time to pass the torch, so to speak. Fred is completely content with this and it is a win-win situation for both parties. With a good draft, and a good off-season with smart and fiscally responsible free agent activity, I believe the Jaguars have a solid chance of returning to their playoff form from 2007. Go Jaguars!
- RELEASING FRED TAYLORIT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE JAGUARS HAVE
MADE SIGNIFICANTLY BAD CHOICES THAT COST MILLIONS WHEN THE "TO BE STARS"
DID NOT PERFORM WELL AND WERE LET GO.
FRED TAYLOR DID NOTHING BUT PRESENT
A GREAT IMAGE FOR THE JAGUARS.HE IS A GOOD GUY WITH NO BAD PUBLICITY, COURT HEARINGS, ARRESTS, ETC,. HE IS WORTH
6 MILLION; THAT IS CHANGE FOR THE JAGS.
HE COULD STILL BE A SOLID PLAYER FOR
ANOTHER YEAR.
I HOPE THAT FRED GETS A SUPER BOWL
RING A YEAR BEFORE THE JAGS DO. I HOPE HE BEATS THE JAGS IN A SUPER
BOWL FIRST. - And the CrewThey also have the Columbus Crew, the pro-soccer team that won a championship recently.
- Columbus Blue JacketsColumbus has an NHL team.
- JaguarsA study by researchers at the University of Florida showed that, upo arrival, professional teams do not add additional revenue to a local economy, but rather cannibalizes from other local forms of entertainment and activities--e.g. instead of playing golf on Sunday, go watch the Jags. The Jags (a millionaire owner with millionaire players) are costing the taxpayers money that could be better used for other purposes, such as police, fire, and education.
Does Jax really need the Jags? The Jags cannot fill the seats--the Gators can and do! Columbus, Ohio is about the same size metropolitan area and central city as Jax--no professional team, just The Ohio State Buckeyes with attendance over 90,000 each home game in a stadium built in the 1930's. Let the Jags go to LA, and use the money to hire police, fire and teachers! - Gene SmithHopefully his picks are better than his grammar. 'Our team could have went...' Good god.
- jaguars staying in jacksonvillehow long do you see the jaguars staying in jacksonville considering wayne weaver getting old, if he sells it to the wrong guy the franchise could move to los angeles!
- DISAPPOINTEDI was so disappointed to see the Jags lose to the Titans. The Jags had the game at half time but they fell apart. We have no D line. Do you think Jack Del Rio will have a job next season?
- Mike PetersonBesides being an incredible athlete and a promising role model for area youth, Mike is central to the synergy of the defensive team. The team lost spark when Marcus left, it will lose all its fire if Peterson is not here
- Stroud and PetersonTrading Stroud was a BIG MISTAKE. There has been a definite difference in the defense this year. Henderson and Stroud made a big difference on the line.
Also, why are we planning to trade (not renew) Mike Peterson's contract. The last home game played, Mike was in on almost every tackle. Younger players don't always do the job. Is Mike considered OLD? - I would like to give you more cold hard facts about the Jaguars, remember when a question was asked toLinebacker Mike Peterson after they lost to
the Browns...do you(Jags) miss Marcus Stroud and he really didn't answer the
question? Well I'll answer it for him and the entire team since he was so
afraid to answer the question. YES they do miss him. Ever since he has been gone they have not been able to get very much pressure on the opposing teams QB's.Henderson and Stroud were definately one of the most menacing duo's in the game. Why on earth would you divide them? They made a big mistake letting him(Stroud) go. I'm not saying that one man makes an entire defense but the void is and will always be there until they can improve
defensively. Offensively we have lost the running game. We are just not consistant. We need a new quarterback. Wayne Weaver should not have paid
David Garrard all of tht money. He has not earned it. Ok so he did well last year but I think the owner should have waited another year to see if
Garrards good season last year was not a fluke. We at this particular time and moment it was! I just don't think he is worth all the money he is being paid. The Jags should have drafted Brady Quinn when they had the chance.He just dosen't throw the ball down field enough...He does not utilize his talented recievers to the fullest! Garrard is not the answer and he will never take the Jaguars to the promise land. Why do they not practice the 2 minute drill? They really need to work on that drill. They showed NO!!! sense of urgency against the Browns or the Bengals when they had opportunities to at least get into field goal range and score more points before the halfs ended. Garrard has no touch when it comes to passes that need touch. When ever he makes a pass that has touch it's just pure luck! The Jaguars have alot of work to do. They need to find that will, heart and incredible desire to perform and win like they had and did last year. They never should have lost to the winless Bengals. Let's hope they don't have a repeat performance against the winless Lions!!!!! - Orlando TVThe local CBS affiliate is only required to air the Jaguars away games. It is up to them for the home games and they chose the Dolphins game this past weekend. It sucks down here doesen't it!!!
- TV BlackoutI live in Orlando and I am a season ticket holder. I am not going to the game today but I have given my friends the tickets. I noticed that the game is not on the air in Orlando. Is it blacked out?
- Greg WilliamsTalk about sorry play calling!!!
Hey wake up this is the AFC they know how to play the game your sorry NFC tricks don't work here. - Matt JonesWe have Taylor, Jones-Drew and now Matt "big boy" Jones.
- HarveyHe wouldn't have played for me this year
at all. All he cares about is his self. I hope he gets his clock cleaned every game. - JaguarsThey will be lucky to win 8 games this year. No offensive line is bad news. Without the offensive line you have no running game.
- the last preseason gameHeck yeah,that's what Im talking about!Excellent game.
- harvey holdoutLet him suffer! He needs us more than we need him!
- RudeThru the years a lot of Pro players have had nicknames. For Matt Jones I recommend "Clueless"...yea, "clueless jones"... I like it anyone else on board.
Aside from that, sounds like another year of PR issues for the Jags. Does someone need to remind some of the players where their fat paychecks come from. - RudeI understand that players are busy but why is it
after practice the players (most) of them didnt sign
Autographs? I understand they are working hard (1 hr)
but we came out to see them support them and get
autographs. Myself , and kids were right up against the
white fence and most of them didnt even look at us.
MJD looked left and right and shook his head and said
no. Matt Jones who in my opinion should have greeted
everyone (public opinion) snubbed us. This is my second
time being snubbed from Rasheem Mathis, whos jersey I
just so happen to be wearing proud. This was sat
morning. Please help me figure out why I should keep
buying season tickets (4th year) for a team that wont
give the fans the time of day.
