And in return the NFL gives us crumbs a year after going to the AFC championship. The small market excuse doesn’t roll either as GB and KC have more games prime time. I’m not terribly upset about it, but OTH there’s no denying the NFL kind of gave Jax the shrift here

So what?  

I'm one of 'the fans' that's had tickets since day #1 and to get bent out of shape about a [BLEEP] time slot is just stupid.  What does this have to do with London?  And please explain to me exactly what we are 'losing' by not getting night games.

More prime time exposure can expand the fan base nationwide potentially. Night games are also more likely to sell out locally, at least for teams like ours who have to sell tickets on a year to year basis because of churn unlike Steelers and Packers, and so on. 

As far as London, I personally think it isn’t fair to you dedicated season ticket holders that you have to give up a home game every year. I know of the benefits of course, but it is a trade off as again no other team is obligated every year to give up a home game and therefore devalue the season ticket purchase for the fan base. Basically I meant that Shad threw the NFL a bone; it would just be nice if he got more prime exposure for the team.

Just let yourself imagine the Jaguars beating the Patriots, Steelers, Eagles and Cowboys in front of national audiences. They would become the media darlings of the NFL, and the team every fan with no affiliation roots for.

This is more or less my take as well.  Two primetime games was my expectation - so I'm not disappointed. 
The exposure created by the overall schedule is a clear and marked improvement to last year.  I really don't feel slighted. 
Another winning season in 2018?  Then a bit more exposure in 2019.

It definitely is an improvement. 

If we become consistently good and as years pass, maybe we will become the Giants and Packers of the league; getting prime time games 4 or 5 times a year. Then we know the team has truly arrived so to speak
