Black Celebration: Jax Jaguars put up 51 on Indianapolis Colts

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The trajectory of a typical 21st century Jacksonville Jaguars season is familiar. Hope, during the draft, and the free agency class, and the preseason, as the best case scenarios swirl. Then reality hits. Not all at once, but like 16 punches to the face. The Jaguars had felt the full impact of eight of them this year, coming into a home showdown against the Matt Hasselbeck led Indianapolis Colts. On Sunday, they gave it to another team on the chin, for…

When do the Jaguars call the season lost?

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The Jacksonville Jaguars, with four games to go, languish two back of two teams in front of them. At 4-8, this is a team that has to win out. However, what are the chances of Gus Bradley putting that kind of winning streak together? Sunday, we find out a lot about where this team is, as we approach the end of Year 3. Bradley’s Jaguars have, against the Indianapolis Colts, some key advantages. 1A wideout, Allen Hurns, should be back on…

Jax Jaguars outgunned: At 4-8, season done?

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The 4-7 Jacksonville Jaguars needed a win against last place Tennessee on Sunday. And so did Coach Gus Bradley. According to a chart put out by fivethirtyeight.com, Coach Bradley is (barring a turnaround) the second most likely coach in the NFL to get axed at the end of the year. After Sunday’s shootout, a 42 to 39 loss to a last place team that hadn’t won at home in over a year, Genial Gus might be in what Ludacris would…

Jacksonville Jaguars must win in Tennessee Sunday

in Sports/Top Headlines by

It’s been a good run for the Jacksonville Jaguars, but here’s the reality. At 4-7, they’ve lost too many winnable games, and now have nothing but must wins stretched before them through the rest of the season. This includes Sunday’s tilt at Tennessee. The offensive players, specifically Blake Bortles and his targets, have catalyzed many fantasy football teams toward playoff runs. Which is great; there have been years where that couldn’t have been said. The Jaguars, however, are two games off…

San Diego Chargers shock Jacksonville Jaguars out of division title race

in Sports/Top Headlines by

On “Salute to Service” Day at EverBank Field, it was appropriate that the Jacksonville Jaguars hosted the San Diego Chargers. Against their fellow Naval town team, the Jags needed to make a statement. The statement they made? That when the pressure is on and the stakes get higher, the Jaguars just aren’t ready, despite the collection of talent at offensive skill positions. A collection diminished by a key piece on the last Jaguars’ drive of the game, as Allen Hurns…

For Cardiac Cats, “all gold everything” means a win

in Sports/Top Headlines by

On “All Gold Everything” Thursday night, the Jacksonville Jaguars needed a big win against AFC South rivals the Tennessee Titans. And got it. But damned if they didn’t have to work for it. Marcus Mariota came out firing for the road squad, getting the Titans near the Jags’ 30 on the first drive, throwing darts, and getting Tennessee in range for a 47 yard FG from reliable veteran Ryan Succop. Blake Bortles, down 3-0, went three and out and on his…

Jaguars win thriller in “Charm City”, stop road loss skid at 13

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The Jacksonville Jaguars looked to break their streak of thirteen straight road losses in a trip to a fellow 2-6 team in Baltimore. And they pulled it off. There was reason to hope they would do just that going into the game. The Ravens were without Steve Smith, and the Ravens pass defense had been one of the worst in the league going into Sunday. Of course, the Jaguars’ defense had been exploitable also. The Ravens, in going for it…
