First, I just wanted to put this Conor Orr tweet out here.

 

Weirdly excited for Jags-Titans on Thursday. Two teams with fun young players who don't get ton of pub. Winner can make a run at division.

 

Now the fun stuff that makes him excited about this game:

In summary, the article explains why we should watch these five players:

 

1. Blake Bortles

2. Marcus Mariota

3. Jalen Ramsey

4. DeMarco Murray

5. Allen Robinson

 

Let's hope the the only one of these things that stays the same Thursday night is Jalen Ramsey being a "lockdown corner" and DROTY candidate. GO JAGUARS!

Happy Thursday from England... :woot:

Jags find a way to win this game. The win springboards the Jags and they finish the year 9-7, tie for 1st in the division, but win it due to tiebreaker. Go Jags!
Tacks 31-10 and somehow Gus will still be the head coach on Friday...book it.

Optimism will be running until game time, then reality will set in and look like that ^.
I expect the grey poupons to lose tomorrow and Gus the ketchup king is still making hot dogs and bratwurst on Friday.

I have been seeing a lot of pessimism here, unfortunately. Reality will set in for the people who think we can't compete with Tennessee, win or lose.

Lol
Damn that NFL preview I watched on youtube they said Henne will start before Gus is fired and Blake isn't repairable and all. No chill.

LOL You should have watched the preview video I posted. No NFL insider is going to say that crap.

At this point you are denying reality that Blake is almost certainly damaged goods.  The odds are against him ever fixing his mechanics to the point where he doesn't revert to his old ways in high pressure situations(November-February football). Shad Khan does not care about winning. His ACTIONS(or lack thereof) speak louder than his WORDS that he expects a winner. 2-4 is not winning football, neither is 14-40. I would not be shocked if we go out on Thursday and get shut out with how this team behaved on Sunday, I think Gus has possibly lost the team. The odds are against us, traveling on a short week and playing on prime time vs our old coach we dumped for the same reason we have retained Gus( we don't blame Gus because he had no talent but we blamed and fired Mularkey based on 1 season with basically the level of talent????) and Gus is doing worse than Mularkey is now with arguably less talent. This isn't pessimism. 14-40, Mularkey with more wins than Gus this year, and a regressing QB is REALITY for our team. 

Dick lebeau d destroys and injures bortles. Henne comes in and leads the jags to victory.
The Jaguars will beat the Jaguars. The Titans just have to show up and go through the motions.

Henne is worse than Bortles. I don't care how low of an opinion you have on Bortles these days. Henne is a dumpster fire.

What does "Weirdly excited" mean?

 

I have never seen that as a way to describe a football game.
clowns vs clowns....how is that weirdly exciting?

Might make for some football video funnies for NFL network or the espn guy guy that goes "whoop...whoop...WHOOP."

I never saw that description either. Conor Orr probably means it is unusual for him to get excited about Jaguars/Titans games because both teams have been bad for years.
Every single season, the Jags get the least watched primetime game of the year. This will be no different.

 

This game will be ugly.... Just like all the other Thursday night games. Atleast the Jags didn't have to fight til the end like the Titans did last week. Maybe they pull it out. Who knows.

A 23 year old QB who threw for 35 TDs and 4400 yards (a season only accomplished ONCE in Aaron Rodgers career) is not repairable? Get out of here. Maybe by the Jags inept management and coaching. Belichick and Andy Reid would correct it in ONE week.

Umm.....Bortles has 54 TDs and 44 INTs in his career. Henne has 58 TDs and 63 INTs in his career. It's not even close to the same talent level.
