    NFL franchise in trouble

    With all the doom and gloom talk of the Bills leaving Western New York here is a story from the Sunshine state of a team that is in trouble unless ticket sales increase.. We are all too familiar with the struggles of the Jags in Jacksonville.


    This just proves that that town will never be an NFL city...College Market ...

    Now if they could just move now and get it over with ....Believe me the NFL is not married to Jacksonville With Tampa a three hour drive away....

    Nice City growing and all, but will the people ever buy into that team ..

    They have a contract to stay there until 2016. I really don't think Ralph will be able to hang on that long.

        The sad thing about Jacksonville is they have been one of the best teams in the NFL.

          The jags have had trouble drawing fans from day one. With Tampa and Atlanta not far away that isn't too shocking.

                If anyone deserves to go to LA, it's the Jaguars.

                  Thats hard to do since they made it twice in the last 4 years.

                  They also have the 11th best winning % of all NFL teams.

                  They started their franchise by going to the playoffs 4 out of 5 years. If you cant bulid a following after that you never will.

                    If Ralph would stop acting like it's us we would even be talking about the Bills moving.

                    He's half the problem.

                        woops your right answer, twice in the last 9 years. clearly one of the best teams in the NFL. I forgot they went in 05, prolly cause they got stomped 28-3 in the wildcard game.

                            They are a pathetic fanbase. They tarp half of the stadium every single game to hide the shame. But, that just adds to the humiliation. We may have sucked for so long, and can't really talk as a franchise, but we have the best fanbase in pro football and would still go to the games no matter what kind of team we have. We have been 7-9 for the last three seasons, and missed the playoffs every season this decade and yet we have already sold over 50,000 season tickets according to tim graham. imagine that.

                              If they arent a good franchise, what does that make us?

                              They have a .527 winning % which is 11th all-time.
