The Stages of Jaguar Sadness (and How to Cope)
- Denial: "There's no way we can lose! Trevor Lawrence is a magician! Those goalposts are totally gonna move themselves again!" Coping mechanism: Stock up on teal-colored denial drapes. They'll come in handy when you inevitably have to hide from reality.
- Anger: "Those refs are BLIND! That fumble was clearly a forward pass! And what's the deal with the concession stands running out of nachos?!?!" Coping mechanism: Channel your inner Jaxson DeVille and unleash a primal scream into a giant bowl of lukewarm chili. Catharsis is messy, but effective.
- Bargaining: "Okay, football gods, I'll wear those embarrassing jorts you like every Sunday for a YEAR if you just let us win this game!" Coping mechanism: We all make desperate pleas in times of crisis. Just remember, the football gods have a questionable sense of humor.
- Depression: Curling up in the fetal position with a lukewarm Bud Light and a framed picture of Mark Brunell. Coping mechanism: We've all been there. Just remember, tomorrow is a new day, and there's always next season (hopefully).
- Acceptance: "Hey, at least we have the beach, right?" Coping mechanism: Embrace the sunshine, friends. It's the only thing that shines brighter than Trevor Lawrence... usually.
Important Note: These are just guidelines. Feel free to mix and match stages, or invent your own entirely. We're all on this emotional rollercoaster together.

How to Survive the Offseason Without Football (Because Let's Be Honest, It Might Happen)
- Take up a new hobby: Learn to juggle flaming chainsaws! Write a haiku about Leonard Fournette's eyebrows! The possibilities are endless (and delightfully distracting).
- Spend more time with your loved ones: They've probably been avoiding you all season anyway. Now's your chance to reconnect and explain why you haven't spoken to them since the fumble in Week 6.
- Binge-watch inspirational sports movies: "Remember the Titans"? Classic. "Rudy"? Feel-good gold. Just avoid "Little Giants" at all costs. We all have our limits.
- Volunteer at a local youth football league: Share your vast knowledge of the game (or at least your impressive collection of fanny packs) with the next generation of Jaguar fans.
- Start planning your pilgrimage to the 2025 NFL Draft: Because let's face it, you might need a new franchise quarterback.
How To...
- How to properly fold a denial drape? Who cares? Just throw that sucker over your head and wallow in peace.
- How to make a primal scream chili sound more dignified? Add a fancy garnish. A sprig of rosemary never hurt anyone.
- How to convince the football gods to take pity on you? Offer them a lifetime supply of those weird, neon-colored nachos they seem to love.
- How to properly dispose of a lukewarm Bud Light after a heartbreaking loss? Recycle the can. The environment will thank you, even if the Jaguars won't.
- How to avoid awkward conversations about the draft with your significant other? Feign sudden amnesia. It's a bold strategy, but it might just work.
