While the Pats were laying another egg on Sunday the folks over here in the UK were shown the Jags at home to the Texans. Early in the game a punt was taking place and the camera zoomed out to follow the ball. In doing so it revealed the fact that the Jags stadium was at best one third full. The place was empty. It was the kind of crowd you have left in a stadium when the home side is 30 points down and they are only staying to boo the team off the field. However, this is a Jags side who were in the play-offs in 2007 and are around 500 in the standings.
The NFL must regret giving Jacksonville a franchise and if the people of that area care so little for their team it must only be a matter of time before the team relocates. Are there are local reasons why people don't follow the Jags or is it simply not a football town ?
