Jaguars Fail

I am now a Jaguars fan this year. I liked the team very much last year - they were a huge, imposing ball control team that played hard and gritty and smacked you in the teeth.

I became an official fan now after moving to Jacksonville and attending three games. However, this is an unfortunate fact now as the Jags really do not look like the gritty team they were last year, winning only one game against the Lions since my move. They seem to be anything but gritty, actually. I will forgo badmouthing them too much - the media and other local fans do enough of that already. I know what it feels like to bust your ass for a not-so-good team and still hear fans still jeer your team and newspaper columns talk about your lack of effort and skill as if the welfare of millions of people depended on it. It is hardly deserved, but it is what it is.

You see, the Jaguars still look like they play hard, but they look entirely dysfunctional doing it... and they aren't imposing at all despite the nice physical stats on their roster. It is as if almost anyone who had confidence on that team has lost it by this point.

Personally, I just hope they keep the next two home games entertaining and we see reduced ticket prices next year :P I will still remain a fan.
