Hi, Jaguars fans!       Head Coach Doug Marrone was not pleased with the performance  to both Jaguars QB's Blake Bortles and Brandon Allen immediately after their 8-12 home loss to the Buccaneers last week, so Chad Henne gets to start through the first half against the visiting Carolina Panthers.

Jaguars are playing the Panthers for first time during the preseason in 11 years, since losing to Carolina at then-named Alltel Stadium by the score of 17-10, back on August 19, 2006, and finishing 3-1 that preseason.

Cam Newton reportedly is expected to make his preseason debut, starting at QB for the Panthers.   A Jacksonville win over Carfolina would also make their preseason record this year after three games at 2-1

Partly cloudy skies  at 78 degrees, feels like 82 degrees, is the gamecast on Thursday Night inside EverBank Field  for the 7:35PM Eastern Standard Time kickoff, along with 5% precipitation, 92% humidity, and south/southwestern winds at 4 miles per hour.

NO injuries as the players continue to both audition, and the coaching staff evaluate the current Jaguars team to cut for the final 53-man regular season roster, plus practice squad, and GO JAGUARS!!!!!
