Lost Season For The Jags ? 11/17/08 -11/23/08

Well my feeling was wrong. as I stated last week that the Jacksonville Jaguars would do the unthinkable and beat the Tennessee Titans, to make their record 9-1.


Instead the game the Jaguars played against Tennessee on Sunday, was really a flashback from the 1999 AFC Championship game. That game had all the makes as this past game that was played Sunday. As the Jaguars were up at halftime in that game and the Jags were in complete control of the first two quarters.


But for the Jaguars, that would be the closest they would get to a Super bowl. As the Titans came roaring back in the second half with 23 unanswered points. In the past game on Sunday, the Jags allowed 21 unanswered points in the second half. the Titans would win that AFC title game by a score of 33-14. This past game the Titans won by a score of 24-14.



With that win the Titans are the only undefeated NFL team this season at 10-0.



For my beloved Jaguars, they fell to 4-6 and saw their playoff and super bowl hopes for this season go out the window, with that lost. But is this season all but lost for the Jaguars? I don't think so. the Jaguars saw Matt Jones become their go to guy of the so far this season. Matt will be coming back in two games after his suspension. The Jaguars have seen the combo of Fred Taylor and Jones - Drew to still be effective this season at times. So what has gone wrong? A depleted Offensive and Defensive line mixed in with injuries.


For now the Jaguars are going to be playing for pride. Something all Jaguars fans including myself will have to bear with for the remaining six games of the season.
