However, I want to suspend Occam’s razor here and discuss the move of the two homes games to London from a different perspective. 

So there is a growing sentiment, conspiracy theory, call it what you want, that the fix is often in on small market teams. In particular the Jaguars. The argument is easy to see as we rack up the most penalties in the league, have poor calls that affect our ability to win. You all know what I am referring to. Then you have our players that easily get passed up for HOF or rookie of the year awards. It’s easy to see through the years their is a huge negative bias against anything Jaguars. 

We have probably the smallest tv coverage when you check the weekly tv coverage maps. Our fan base is small compared to other well established teams that are also considered small market teams. We don’t have the fan base of say the Steelers or Packers.... 

So here’s my what if, what if Kahn knows the fix is in. He said, winning is our number one goal right now and it’s dumbfounding how that is a priority moving two home games...what if it is? What if continuing to spread our fan base to London gives us that reach the Steelers or Packers have to finally start getting the recognition we deserve? It seems our ability to expand our fan base state side is limited. 

I feel like if anyone was to know the fix is in, it would be an owner privileged to the closed door meetings. Maybe Kahn sees this as our only way of getting the sway we need to start being allowed to win in the NFL. Could be coincidence, but I find it odd that Kahn keeps references our priority to win while also announcing the move. On the surface it seems completely contradictory.  

* I do not fully believe in the conspiracy of the NFL fixes games, but through the years evidence does seem to lean that way for me.*

Stop acting like the league is against the poor lil Jaguars. If people don't talk about us it is because this team is hot garbage. 

Remember 2017? did we not reach the SB because of the refs? no, it was because Marrone went conservative. Everyone was talking about this team that year.
Every team gets bad calls all the time it's not just the Jags.
We have the most penalties because this team is poorly coached and have no discipline, and because some of the players suck. We don't win many games for the same reasons.
Our players get passed up for the HOF? LOL. A dude that played 6 seasons and a WR and RB that are lacking on TD stats
