Quote:I know the rules already exist.....but why choose THIS year to finally start enforcing them?? 

 

Hmmm???

 

Coincidence that the Jags are perceived to start rising and have the kind of defense that could be negatively affected by these rules?? yeah, just a coincidence....

 

When are you people going to wake up and smell the concrete? How many more examples do you need?? Goodell does not want the Jags to succeed in Jacksonville. Now, they may ultimately wind up doing that anyway.....(which will really tick off that [BAD WORD REMOVED]) but he wants the Jags to fail here so they move to one of his choice locales (London/ LA). 

 

I don't know that the Jaguars factored into the decision, but I admit, this is a bit fishy.  Had Denver won the superbowl, I doubt this would have come up, and they wouldn't have changed to rules because Seattle didn't win.  I honestly can't disprove your conspiracy theory, but at the same time, these same rules would benefit Bortles and our receivers, so we'll have to roll with that.  Really I don't see this as having a huge impact on our defense, being that the rule was already in place.  We just have to become a playoff caliber team and it won't matter what Goodell wants or doesn't want.
