Quote:That's great.   I'm glad you say that.  But there are a lot of fans who need that feeling of winning to get them fired up to buy season tickets.   And I'm sure that if we had to endure several more years of losing 10 to 14 games a year, you'd question your season ticket commitment, too.   Fans have to have hope to buy tickets.   And if you continue to crush their hope, without ever letting them see a win, the stadium will be empty before long.   That's one very good reason why these wins are important.   The more wins, the more fan support.   The fewer wins, the more fan support will shrink.   Most of those fans don't care if we have the #1 pick or the #6 pick.   They just don't want to feel like they wasted their Sunday. 

 

The same sort of thing applies to players.   They need to be rewarded for their hard work, even if it's just the 3rd or 4th win in a 16 game season.   They need to go into the offseason with hope, too, because they have some very long days of pumping iron ahead of them.  

 

An interesting thing I heard in the game the other day is that this season is the first time since 2011 that the Jaguars have won more than one game at Everbank Field.

 

If winning in front of the crowds was what mattered then the Jaguars wouldn't be able to sell tickets right now.

 

Tickets have been getting sold on passion and hunger for football, not because the Jaguars won 3 away games instead of 1.

 

I just don't think the difference between 1 home win and 2 home wins sells tickets.
