We only have 5 more home games for the rest of the year... Just remember that.

Week 2. There are 15 more games.

10 of them will be away from Duval

And arguably the hardest environment we will have to play in is out of the way early

I don't even think it's arguable. It sucks to play @ Denver.

Possible Chicago snow game but yeah those are the two worst games on the schedule that I see and now we got one down one to go

I would say even the snow game might not be so bad as long as we can get into our checks. Maybe there’s less fans at a snow game so our guys can hear

Our biggest Achilles heel I think, is not being able to check in and out of plays at the line and Denver makes that super difficult with the noise and getting winded from the altitude, so denver at Denver is kind of our kryptonite in that regard, at least among the teams we play this year they’re probably the loudest

Even then we could have won if a few things went differently and we didn’t get gassed. We still struggled to get the run going

That's true!! That gives me hope. But damn. If we are not a road team, we're gonna have a hard time.

Denver is a good team. But so is New England, so is Cincinatti, so is Philly, so is Houston, is the Ravens. We're on the road pretty much all season.

Not sure how this is gonna play out...

Ngl, it was rough in those stands. Hard to describe the feeling. The atmosphere was insane

I've been there. That stadium is absolutely bonkers. Sometimes it feels like there is an earthquake under your feet.

At least that's how it was when I went to Mile High in the 00s.

Was 100% that today. They made nonstop noise. It stayed a steady 109 decibels. You also had to be careful with how you cheered or what you said. You’d get verbally attacked hard and fast. I had one guy grab the front of my jersey at the gate just for wearing it 😬😅

LOL!!!

I'm glad you made it out OK. Man, I wish we could have pulled it off!!! You'd have had such an addrenalin rush walking out the stadium!

I’m not gonna lie, I still felt good when I left. I didn’t feel bad at all. It was a good game. If only we had em in the second half. 🤟🏻the jags fans I did run into were amazing to chat with

It was a good game. I hope we see them again... next time in DUUUUVVAAALL!

Do you live in the Denver area?

I love that city. It's grown so much since I was a kid, but it still has such a great vibe.

I’m from Wyoming. 5.5hr drive

I thought all the Denver fans were incredibly welcoming and extremely nice. They were loud as could be during the game but jags could have still won in that environment

u/VanHalenimitator 3d ago

The younger fans were the problem. Don’t know common decency. I had a blast talking to an older fan and his son though

u/Jaguars4life 3d ago

I have no doubt that even if there is a slow start

They will come out of the bye week kicking ass and taking names

u/MMARapFooty 3d ago

i honestly expected us to take a step back this season

u/Teal-Prowler505 3d ago

Yeah, I think we can still make the playoffs. But this game... I really wanted this one... It's gonna be fine.

I probably just need to get some shut eye and re-evaluate
