Quote from Above "Complaint department: The Jaguars have just one home game in the season’s first month and play four of their first six games on the road for the second consecutive season. It’s not as bad as it was in 2013, when they played at Oakland and Seattle in Weeks 2-3, but it still robs the team of gaining a little momentum from an attendance boost because of the new scoreboards and amenities at EverBank Field. There’s also a stretch in which the Jaguars don’t play a game at EverBank for nearly a month because of the annual Florida-Georgia game, the game against Dallas in London, a bye week and the Great Jacksonville Agricultural Fair."

 

For whatever reason on IE11, I can't use the forum quotation features.  Anyway this is an excellent summary of the problem with this schedule.  The team needs to just win to get more "reputation" and an improved schedule.  I honestly feel that the league is going to favor/protect the top drawing teams because they need to drive ratings for the upcoming TV Contracts.

 

Keep in mind we still have Chad at QB and an unproven offensive interior.  We are going to see sacks, hurries and knock downs again this season.  I'm not hopeful for a "winning" season but I do think we will have an improving season.
