Quote:So, earlier question in the thread asked when the last time the Jaguars played a MNF game, I went back to look at the schedule on Wikipedia. It was indeed long before Bortles and the Allens arrived here.

 

December 5th, 2011 vs. San Diego Chargers. We lost 38-14 at home, giving us a record of 3-9 at that point of a season in which we would finish 5-11.

 

Hopefully we can put together enough of a winning season that we rate a MNF game next year, it has been too long. In fact, it has been just as long as the NFL added those Thursday night games as a primetime game, and we have had those ever since to fulfill the 'Prime-time game for every team' scheduling requirement.

2011 was the last season the Jags had a MNF game and they actually had 2 that year, the one against the Chargers and the one on Oct 24 where they beat the Ravens 12-7.

 

5 years, and counting, is way too long to not have a MNF game.

 

I know the Jags haven't been very good lately, but the Rams @ 49ers  game was about as ugly a game as you will see on MNF or even any other day football is played.
