No one "needs" the Jaguars - or the NFL for that matter. It's just football.   But the NFL wouldn't exist without the fans.

The NFL has plenty of fans and plenty of income to sustain it. The problem is that our team, the Jags are not important to the league and the small amount of Jags fans don't provide anything important to the league. Because of that, we need the team and the city needs the team more than the team needs us or the city; especially if moving to another big market is available. And no, the "need" being referenced isn't a matter of living; but their is a true need to Jags fans to have this team in Jacksonville. And we're on the brink of losing that because we as fans are seriously overvaluing ourselves.

I'm not going to tell anyone to suck it and support the team, no matter what if that's how they feel. But if you chose not to support the team, don't be sad or surprised when they no longer are housed in Duval. I don't hate on the comments made by Brian Sexton because looking at us from the overall NFL side, we are a mistake.... Look at our season records for the 25 years in the league:

1995 - 4-12
1996 - 9-7
1997 - 11-5
1998 - 11-5
1999 - 14-2
2000 - 7-9
2001 - 6-10
2002 - 6-10
2003 - 5-11
2004 - 9-7
2005 - 12-4
2006 - 8-8
2007 - 11-5
2008 - 5-11
2009 - 7-9
2010 - 8-8
2011 - 5-11
2012 - 2-14
2013 - 4-12
2014 - 3-13
2015 - 5-11
2016 - 3-13
2017 - 10-6
2018 - 5-11
2019 - 6-10

Total - 176-224 = .440% winning....

And our attendance is seen by the outside as being one of the worst; even though the statistics show that we're not the worst. But we're definitely not the best. And most times when our stadium is sold out or near packed, a large portion of those seats are from the opposition.... We can't sit up here with our chests out pounding it like we don't deserve some of the blame. Our teams sucks most years and a lot can't take that; thus our support for the team waivers. Yes, if they produced a winning team consistently, we probably wouldn't have these issues. But that's not the case. But by kicking the team to the curb because the owner is looking out for himself, is both delusional and a little egotistical on our parts. We have to do our part to keep the team here and by just saying [BLEEP] it will only move the team further away.
