I have 3 kids aged 11, 10, and 8. Short of a magical 2017 season my children have NEVER known a GOOD Jaguars football team. At the beginning of every season, at least I had HOPE. We used to WIN the offseason. Free agency? We were big spenders. Jack Del Rio may have never won a division, but he played meaningful December football games. Blake may have never been an All Pro but at least he could chuck the ball and the defense would bail the offense out. Now? Please. It started after we looked completely clueless and outclassed in the first game against the Tinhorns. The team that was SUPPOSED to scrape the bottom of the AFC south this year, somehow has twice as many wins as we do...with a 3rd round QB. We've scored 227 points in 16 games. About 2 TDs a game. Our vaunted 'once in a generation' QB has 10TDs and 17 ints. (Davis Mills has 3 more TDs in 4 less games).
This all starts and ends with Khan. I don't care about big scoreboards, pools, or dog parks. I care about quality football. Someone said he left Baalke for 'continuity'. Well...that continuity has contributed to a 41-119 owner as an owner. That's an abysmal .256 winning percentage.
So yeah, this is about as low as it gets for a Jags fan. I honestly don't even care anymore. I live in North Carolina. After this season....if they retain Baalke as the GM, I'm going to pull a Lebron and 'take my talents' to support another team.
Nice summary. Thank you for your service.
Why would you go back? I don't think anyone has an answer to that right now other than to support keeping the franchise in Jacksonville. It sure as hell isn't about watching the product on the field. I have more fun cutting grass on Sunday than watching the game.
Appreciate it. I retired 4 years ago and since my mother passed away, I really have no reason TO come back to Jax. I live in NC now and about 4 hours from Charlotte. I could easily jump on the Panthers bandwagon.
Why do I keep coming back? I dunno….guess I’m just holding onto good memories and hope one day the team will love me as much as I loved them, lol.
But you’re right: I ever since week 1, I spend Sundays doing yard work, playing video games with the kids and other things. Much less stressful. I read the NFL recap later in the evening and chuckle at the ineptitude. It’s much nicer looking at the results through a lens of having nothing invested in it.
