Jacksonville Jaguars Fan Forums

Well since no preseason there are still 5 wks before reg season supposed start. Are they even practicing? Haven't heard a peep about it.

This is shaping up to be one weird season, if it even happens. Almost no training camp, no preseason, virtual practices, no film on anybody new.  I can see some really sloppy play the 1st four weeks, especially by teams getting used to new free agents, and those that are rookie heavy. It should also favor players that ad lib well when plays break down, which just may work to our advantage at QB.

I dont want to derail this thread and I REALLY dont want to talk about everything being fake or not.

But do people think the season will go ahead? As said above, this is so far from the norm. We should be getting ready for preseason but weve had barely a week of practice. 5 weeks from proper football, it just doesnt feel like it.

I see them making plans, I see them talking positively but part of me thinks it's all delusion.

Jags ahead of the curve by getting their players over the Rona before the season starts.

According to the Jags Twitter account Gardner Minshew and Andrew Wingard have been taken off of the COVID-19 reserve list.

No, but in Minshew's case, it turned out to be a whole lotta nothing.

There's too much $$$ at stake, there will be a season, albeit a weird one. might have 3rd stringers etc. playing several games, depth will be more important this season than virtually any other season in recent memory.

Unless they decide to put everyone in a bubble for each team, they are going to have issues. There are too many players to trust them to not break the rules. These are spoiled young adults who have been above consequences for most of their life. That is why MLB is having problems and football has 2-3x the number of people involved.

They won't play this year and my life will go on without football and its political statements.

We don't deserve this guy....here we all were making "Chuck Norris" style jokes and he goes out and does it himself too. Our QB couldn't be more down to earth. He is definitely "one of us".

Honestly, I know it’s a bit cynical, but we might be at quite an advantage Given he’s already been exposed and has antibodies to the virus. This makes it a lot less likely he’s going to go down during the middle the season.

GM15 has been released to walk through practices. He was quaranteed because one of his roommates tested positive. He tested negative and he no longer has an roommate.

NH3...

This is where I am. They are doing so much with training rooms and trying to limit the ability to spread but sending players off into the world when you've finished is the complete opposite. Just hoping no one gets it that way. That's why I agree with some kind of bubble but for 16 weeks, covering Thanksgiving and Christmas? That's a big ask.

My main concern is getting all excited for a new season and then having it pulled away at the last moment. Theres definitely plenty of money involved which will impact the decision.

Is ok football better than no football?

Keep on topic. If you want to talk about vaccines, do it in Fargins Flyby or more likely the political forum.

Minshew isn't stupid i bet he is taking zinc

This is why I love this guy.
