JagsFan watches the news
This was supposed to be Tuesday’s comic but then we all know what happened. I’m gonna lay off the ball news till we get more real updates and not just the Pats throwing together a wordpress site to counter the Wells report like some weird internet activist.
Poor Jags. They get a much needed piece for their defensive line with the #3 pick in Dante Fowler. Then 8 days after he gets drafted he’s already gone for the season with an ACL tear suffered on routine contact in a practice. Ooof. I’ve always had a soft spot for the Jaguars, though I could never explain why. The fans always seem like good people, I’ve never had a bad interaction with a Jags fan. Very willing to laugh at themselves. They are sensitive about the attendance jokes but when you realize that the other two Florida teams are just as bad if not worse in attendance you can understand why they hate the stereotype. They have the best mascot in football, and coach Gus seems like a swell dude. I’m still a little concerned he’s not actually a good coach though. Being stuck in a bad situation given to you by the previous front office only gives you so much slack. Jags have had the#5, #2, #3, and #3 overall pick in the past 4 years. That’s pretty terrible. No other team has been that consistently high, and it’s not like they are in a super tough division. If they end up in the top 10 again they might need to make changes regardless of how cool Gus is.
But, thanks to this bad luck, it just got harder.
Heheh. He’s wearing the hipster logo.
Met a Jags fan for the first time back in 2012. Wanted to hug the poor guy so many times during that horrible 2-14 season. Didn’t help his pain that we’re right in between Philly and Baltimore, so he had to sit and watch most of the people around him enjoy a Supebowl that year.
The Browns are the most cursed franchise in the NFL, but the Jags are close. Trade up to reach for Blaine Gabbert, he becomes one of the worst QBs in recent memory. Trade away your franchise LT in his contract year because you have faith in your 2nd overall rookie? He breaks his leg the very next week. Finally get an elite playmaking receiving talent? Off-field troubles keep him off the field. Draft a guy with the talent to be the next Von Miller, Terrell Suggs, Clay Matthews, etc.? Tears his ACL literally the first day of minicamp. Poor Blake Bortles has to feel like the black guy at the beginning of the horror movie. He knows something’s coming, he just doesn’t know where.
That 2nd paragraph is exactly how i feel. My dad and his fellow friends are gassed out. They don’t cheer as loud as they probably did in the good ole Tom Coughlin days. 16 years old and still cheering, Hoping something will change. I remember when we were actually pretty decent in 2005, and 2007. Blaine Gabbert era came and then the jags turned into Plain Garbage.
As i predict I may be the only Jaguar fan or one of few who view TheDrawPlay. Here is a normal day at the Jags stadium: 1. Cheer as the players enter hoping they might, just might win.
2. Realize that 1 may just be another fantasy.
3. Cheer as if we’re getting a touchdown and when in fact where cheering because we finally got a first down in 2 quarters.
4. Joke how the only reason people come to jags games are for the cheerleaders at halftime.
5. for the reminder either people leave because of the slaughter of our team and want to “beat traffic” <(like they're going to beat the traffic) or we stay if it's a close game.
Dave said it right when we get mad when people make fun our large stadium filled with a considerable amount of fans and the blackouts. We are loyal fans and we probably would stay in the game longer if we knew our team could make a come back.
Wait, you mean more than one Jaguars fans actually exist?
+1…. Been a fan in upstate NY since ’95…
Jamie’s looks like he’s plugging an Iron Man-Batman crossover. Them’s be Iron Batarangs.
Literally never met a Jags fan. I don’t live close to that area though and I’m pretty sure it has the most regional fan base.
I have never disliked the Jags. I’ve always found it incredibly hard to root against them. The bad luck is almost at Browns level. Here’s hoping to them overcoming the adversity and putting together a solid season.
nice double up on the sexy rexy!

Got suckered into Jags fandom by a friend because they have the most players from our alma matter (UVA Go Hoos Go). Been sad ever since.
Google “Jacksonville Jaguars Meme gif”
Oooohhh, THAT guy!! Yeah, I remember him. At first, I thought Dave meant the other Jags fan who was “creative” with the foam letters on MNF.

Thanks Dave. As long as the Giants have Tom I’ll always passively root for them.
I remember when growing up, the Jags were a top team in the AFC in the late 90’s. They could have even won the Super Bowl with the Rams, but the Titans, the only team to beat the Jags that year were in the way.
Titans and Jaguars as the AFC powerhouses. Man, that was a different time, wasn’t it?
The ’99 Jags are the best team to never go to the Super bowl.
’99 Jags > ’98 Vikes
Not only that, they were actually decent for most of the 2000s. Not as good as the 90s teams, but they weren’t a joke, either. They even finished 8-8 in 2010 (though I remember them being rather worse than their record indicated).
They’ve been awful, but as far as bad stretches go, it’s not yet at Oakland or Detroit levels.
For Dave’s girlfriend, despite my hatred for hockey, I hope that Steven Stamkos shoves his skate down Marty St. Louis’s throat when the Lightning beat the Rangers (yes, I can name 3 hockey players, the other being Gretzky). St. Louis basically flipped Tampa the bird after like 15 years in town by demanding a trade to NYC mid-season
I can still remember going to Jags games with my friends, watching the sadness on their faces during the games, and remembering that I’m a Colts fan…
“Pats throwing together a wordpress site to counter the Wells report like some weird internet activist”
Lolz yeah they should just take the blow to their brand. That’s the prudent move. Face it, it doesn’t matter what they do, you would make fun of them for it because you’re sick of seeing them in the playoffs every January.
But yeah, I think Bradley’s a good coach, but his slack has to be running thin at this point. If not this season, the next is make-or-break for him.
Flacco has another new friend Tanehill just got paid huge
I will never like the Jags, as a Colts fan. But it was more fun when they were good. The AFC South is so boring.
I’m a Jags fan and I’m a nice guy. Damn, I just realized that the cliche is true–we finish last.
Welp, I guess it’s time to kick a puppy if we wanna chance at winning the division.
Also, spot on assessment of Jaxson De Ville. He is paws down the greatest mascot in football–arguably the greatest mascot of all sports.
