You also got Alex Webber stating the NFL would like a London team in 2022, which would match well with the new CBA negotiations. Then there is Craig Kline, who used to work for Khan (also might be insane) saying the Jags are going to London in 2022.

I have to think if the Jags keep Marrone/Caldwell then the attendance will be abysmal next year. I feel like we usually brush the London thing off, but where there is smoke there is usually fire. Please talk me off the ledge.

Attendance in Jax has generally never had a truly abysmal year although you could say 2009 came pretty close to qualifying. There were a lot of factors that went into that beyond a horribly disappointing year on the field the previous year.  I supposed Shad could be concocting a scheme to make the team awful to lower attendance as a justification to move but if he wanted to do that, why not just announce that he wants to move? That would do more to kill attendance faster than anything else. Then you've got the efforts he's made in terms of investing in the city and reiterating that his plans for the Jaguars are to remain in Jax for the long term. I really believe the Jaguars struggles are unintentional.
