I think therein lies one of the biggest issues with Jags football attendance, the heat. Winning, of course, solves just about everything but if the team is even mediocre you're not going to pay hundreds of dollars to spend the entire day boxed into a tiny space surrounded by other people in that kind of heat. I know the Dolphins stadium (Hard Rock) finally got a retracting roof installed, that would be a HUGE factor in a lot of people coming to those games. Easier said than done and probably something that would need to be at least partially funded by taxpayers, but man that would really be an ideal experience if they could get a roof on Everbank.

We also got lucky and ran into Jimmy Smith (#82) who gladly took a picture with me and my family. Made my day. He took his time with everyone that spoke to him.

Don't want to get ahead of myself but if the Jags keep it up, they just may get flexed out to Sunday night on 12/10 when they host the Seahawks. Eagles vs Rams (Wentz v Goff) may have the slight edge on the 12/10 flex but we'll see.
Hah! The 1970's called and they don't want the wave back.

Jags D is THE best in the league at the moment. Gotta stay healthy for the stretch run. Actually enjoying watching these games now, haven't felt that way in a long time.

Thanks! it wasn't pretty but after 5 dominating victories we were bound to have to start winning some close ones. I'll take it any way it comes.

Close games are painful to watch, sometimes, but it really does make it more entertaining. WTG, Jags!!

lol, what a joke. At least in my circle of friends/acquaintances, the people who claimed to be "done" with the NFL are already posting things on social media about NFL games. Weak.

But Bortles can be pretty hard to watch. I've pulled hard for him but he just doesn't seem to have the "field vision" required to be successful in the league. Kirk Cousins of the Redskins is supposedly up for free agency in 2018, it could be quite the fit if they could land him.
