This is one of my favorite gifs.  Does anyone know what play just happened that resulted in this fan's reaction .... and is this dude still in town attending games.

The score at this time was 23-3 Titans over the Jags with 6:45 left in the 4th quarter.

... just curious

It's during the 2010 MNF game. Trent Edwards was playing QB for us that night. I don't know about the play though.

* Quick bit of googling. Here is the answer.

OMG -- Thanks !!!  That's great info.  I extracted the info below from the link.

In the 4th quarter, with 7 minutes left, Del Rio did what Del Rio does – run the ball no matter how many points his team is losing by, no matter how much time is available to make a comeback, and no matter how ridiculous his decision was for the situation at hand. With a 1st and goal from the 7 yard line, with 7 minutes left, Del Rio ran the ball on 1st and 2nd down (a staple of JDR's coaching career, and the plays resulting in this infamous Jags Guy gif.) Del Rio was totally oblivious to how much time was left, how passing would save clock, as well as being the 21st century method of putting points on the board in the NFL. After gaining 4 yards on those 2 runs he finally decided to let Trent Edwards (in for a hurt David Garrard) pass on 3rd, and 4th down – the 4th down attempt being intercepted in the end zone (a staple of Trent Edwards' much maligned career.)

Here's where sh-t gets weird. As it turns out... Jags Guy grew up in Littleton, Colorado. Does that sound familiar? Of course it does, because that's the home to Columbine High School – of which Jags Guy attended, during the exact same years of the Columbine High School Massacre. Here is the class of 99 Columbine Senior Yearbook Picture with the shooters Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold in the top left corner (view image to zoom in).
Jags Guy is dead center with his trademark befuddled expression:

So after graduating from Columbine – thus surviving the school shooting – he later made his way to Jacksonville, Florida and became a fan of the team before becoming an overnight internet sensation after one fateful humid October Monday night. The rest is history, and that is the story behind Jags Guy, the go-to internet [BLEEP] reaction meme.

Bonus – Also from that class of 99 photo.
tl;dr - The guy from this gif is actually a Columbine High Shooting survivor who was reacting to a terrible series of goal-line play calling by Jack Del Rio.
Judging by the era, I figured it was a Del Rio game, which i'm sure meant running early, and often. Glad someone found out the truth because this guy always amused me.

This is the craziest thing I've ever read.

The creepiest part of that photo? In the full size one where you can see Dylan and Eric, they are pretending to shoot the camera.
