| Hard to tell the different between game days and off days in Jacksonville. |
Investing $112 million ($40 million guaranteed) in LBs and D linemen in the offseason hasn't paid off so far, and even though the preseason means little, it's not a good sign. The team also finished last in sacks in the 2009 regular season and 30th in yards allowed last season en route to giving up a franchise record 419 points.
It's little wonder, then, that nobody really wants to pay to see the team. As of August 30, the team was in danger of several local blackouts, including the opener on September 11 for which nearly 11,000 tickets remain. October games against the Saints, Ravens and Bengals are also anywhere from 8,000-13,000 shy of selling out.
With all the talk of the NFL moving an existing team to Los Angeles, the Jaguars should be that team. Sure the Vikings or Chargers would make sense, but no franchise is in greater need of a fresh start than Jacksonville, which hasn't had a winning record or made the playoffs since 2007.
I agree, as the Jaguars need to figure everything out before everything ends up in a catastrophe
