An AFC South divisional battle on prime time with teams with identical 2-12 records, as the Tennessee Titans visit our Jacksonville Jaguars in the home finale in tonight's 'Black Out' promotion at EverBank Field. Tonight is also the finale for the NFL Network's coverage of Thursday Night Football played on a Thursday Night. The NFL Network's remaining international coverage will be played the next two Saturday Nights. Not only are both Jacksonville and Tennessee are playing for pride, but both the Jaguars and Titans also lead off Week 16 of the 2014 NFL season.

Both the Jaguars and Titans have prepared and adjusted in a short practice week, to accommodate for The NFL Network's coverage of Thursday Night Football. Jacksonville and Tennessee also coming from their Week 15 losses last Sunday. Ravens defeated the Jaguars 20-12 at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, and later that evening the Titans lost to the visiting New York Jets in a Jets come behind win by the score of 16-11, at Louisiana Pacific Field in Nashville.

Josh Scobee kicked the 43-yard field goal with 32 seconds left in regulation, for the game-winner over the N.Y. Giants.


Tonight is the 41st all-time meeting, including one postseason game, between the Jaguars and Titans, dating back to the first-ever game, when the then Houston Oilers, defeated the expansion Jaguars 10-3 , in their inaugural and first season in the NFL, back on Opening Week on September 3, 1995.

Maybe the jags want titans to get mariota as he will bust?

Well in that case, forget what I said.  Seriously though, nobody knows whether that guy's going to be any good.  I see a lot of angst around here about him and what Tennessee is going to do in the draft.  Who cares, we can't control it.  Nobody knows.  None of these guys are locks.  Most of the time, they just get in the right situation.  I'm more interested in seeing if Caldwell and Bradley can create the right situation.  If Tampa gets Mariota and Tennessee gets Winston, fine.  Let's see how the Jags deal with it.  Just remember Clowney was going to be that impact player this year.  He had what, seven tackles and ZERO sacks.  Plus, there's nobody out there that's going to trade us a king's ransom of draft picks for someone.  Washington already ruined that for other teams.

I want a win, I'll worry about the Draft in the spring. beat the brakes off the stinking tacks.

 

IF we do lose this game I'll be SERIOUSLY worried about the team, the tacks are HORRIBLE, we should destroy them.

I agree. Jags should get a few sacks tonight.

 

Jags 27

Tacks 13

I ain't no monkey... I'm an ape.

Are we there yet?

---

I have a feeling that we're going to shutout the Titans tonight on primetime TV.

---

I'd like to see Bortles play well. Tired of analysts comparing Cutler to Bortles

---

on a side note,Was this the most watched pregame warm up?All eyes were on Blake.

---

I'm pulling extra hard for Gerhart tonight he was my best option in the Fantasy championship for a RB2.

Same here. As painful as it was to pick him back up. Maybe he might get a TD

No commercial messages in sigs

Lets GO Jags!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Come on 8:25, get here already.

 

This game is the most winnable game on the schedule.

I survived the Gus Bradley Error.

I'm pulling extra hard for Gerhart tonight he was my best option in the Fantasy championship for a RB2.

 

Well this is a good enough reason for me to root for ole Gerhorse!  He actually played pretty OK last week...  Let's hope he goes all crazy today!  So long as he doesn't have to run any sweeps or off tackle stuff to the outside, he may have an OK game!  

 

I'm guessing he'll be good for 4-5 points.

Roy miller inactive? Didn't realize he was hurt

Signs multi-year deal, misses the next (nationally televised) game.


Sounds in-line with our luck.

Irvin just said the Jags remind him of his old Cowboys team before they got really good.
