How Are The Jacksonville Jaguars Doing This Year |
A Tale of Two Seasons (Hopefully Not Another One)
Last year was a rollercoaster (there's that word again) for the Jags. They started hot, 8-3 hot, then went about as cold as Florida's AC units during a power outage. The ending? A whimper, not a roar, missing the playoffs yet again. Owner Shad Khan wasn't thrilled, to say the least. Let's just say the team barbecue this year might be a little light on the burgers.
Signs of Life (Maybe?)
But fear not, Duval County! There are some glimmers of hope. Trevor Lawrence, the much-hyped rookie quarterback, is entering his third year and seems to be finding his groove. He even signed a fat, juicy contract extension, proving he believes in the team (or maybe he just really likes Florida weather). The offensive line is also looking a little less like a turnstile, which is a good thing for everyone involved (especially Trevor's ribs).
The Verdict? It's Too Early to Tell (But Here's What We Want to See)
Listen, it's June. We're about as far from the Super Bowl as a Jacksonville fan is from patience. But here's what we're hoping for:
- A Consistent Trevor: No more disappearing acts, please. We need our QB slinging lasers like he did in college.
- An Offensive Identity: Run the ball? Pass the ball? Do both and confuse everyone? We just need them to, you know, score points.
- A Defense That Doesn't Take Naps: Let's stop opposing offenses on a dime, shall we? Every third down shouldn't feel like a game of Russian roulette.
How to Be a Jacksonville Jaguars Fan in 2024: A Crash Course
- How to Manage Expectations: Keep them low, but never extinguish the hope entirely. It's the Jaguars way.
- How to Celebrate: Practice your high fives and your "Duuuval!" Because hopefully, there will be more to celebrate this year.
- How to Deal with Disappointment: Stock up on sunscreen. You'll need it to shield your eyes from the occasional tear (or from the Florida sun, whichever comes first).
- How to Spot a Fellow Fan: Look for someone wearing teal. Bonus points for those rocking the full meowser costume.
- How to Explain the Jaguars to Outsiders: Just tell them it's a team with a lot of potential, a rich history of... interesting decisions, and a fanbase that bleeds teal.
