http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...immage-ticket-decision-seen-as-tipping-point/ Ketchmann does make their situation seem incredibly dire. I've always held something of a grudge against the Jags for that 66-7 playoff drubbing they laid on the dolphins back in the day, however it appears they sell tickets or move the franchise. Which imho is odd as most franchises make their money from the TV Contract, that is their bread and butter, apparently though season ticket sales have been that abysmal so far this year? As for the State of the Jags, to me for a team that has been around since 1996 they have made some good runs in the playoffs even making the AFC Title game recently, so I have to wonder why they aren't more popular in the North Florida/S. Georgia market?
They need to move the Jags to Alaska or Canada. I'm sick of watching them here in Central Florida when I should be watching the Dolphins.
i will be moving to orlando within the next few years....and i hope they are the LA Jags....so i have one less team competing with the dolphins for air time in orlando
Say a prayer for me and you. I'm so tired of watching that damn team play. It's awful when you have to sit through Bucs - Jags. Similar to watching paint dry.
No love connection at all Alen? See, I sort of like the Jags as to me, their roster mirrors Miami's. Probably liked the Bucs as a youngster, but it just never really stuck with me even when they were a great team under Dungy and Gruden.
I'll love the Jags when they are moved to another state and are not televised in Florida. I don't even like watching them when they play Miami.
People in Georgia watch the Falcons and people in north Florida watched the Dolphins. I grew up in the panhandle and the Dolphins were always the local market team. I think they still are in the NW part of the state. People didn't just dump their allegiances to the Fins just b/c the Jags popped up. It's why playing in Jax is like a home game for the fins. I used to get pretty pissed off at the Jags b/c sometimes their games would be aired instead of Miami's. I'd probably root for them if the Dolphins ceased to exist but that's not happening.
Pretty much, in SFla it was either the Bucs (who were terrible) on the local CBS channel, or the Dolphins on the local NBC channel, when I moved to NC, it was mostly (not always) the Dolphins or Falcons until the Panthers started up and the Dolphins became terrible themselves. The Jags should have been placed in the NFC to compete with the then crappy Falcons for fans and viewers, moving to the AFC just meant Dolphins fans were frozen out of Dolphins Games on TV. To make things worse, Jags games are blacked out so you get neither Jags nor Dolphins?
The Jags or Bills should be moving to LA or to another location IMO. They don't need 3 teams in Florida.
I agree with the premise that it's time for the Jags to move on. Jacksonville is just a poor place for a professional team. It's a college sports town, and professional loyalties are split between the Falcons, Bucs, and Dolphins. The Jags are really the fourth franchise there, and it hasn't worked. They'd be best off with a fresh start in Los Angeles. The question is, how do you realign the divisions to accommodate that move? Or do you even bother? The LA Jags still in the AFC South would be a geographic mirror image of the Rams in the NFC West or the Chiefs in the AFC West.
Send them to the CFL and they can a part of their own division. Nobody likes them anyways, just look at all the blackouts lol.
