you should unless you’re in the Jacksonville area. Blackouts are only local to where games are played.

I hate the Jaguars enough already....

Now we can’t see the Dolphins in Orlando because the Jaguars can’t sell out…. ridiculous……. Is anyone surprised they can’t get any support for their team?

:)

Buy tickets to support your team, support us.

Personally I like Irking Dolphins fans in Orlando.

Bad Memories

Whenever we play the Jags I always think back to Marino’s last game. The tragic end of an era really. A win here (and hurting their playoff chances) would certainly take some sting off of an old wound.

by finsfaninaggieland on Dec 11, 2009 2:52 PM EST reply actions 0 recs

Yeah I agree

I remember one of his last passes (If not his last pass I don’t remember). Marino getting hit and the ball going straight up and getting intercepted. That was one of the saddest days ever! Marino should go to the phins locker room get in front of the team and doa Lombardi type speech so Miami goes out and kicks some Jaguar ass for Dan the Man!!!!

Too bad he will be at the studio in New York

Maybe we can get him to consider calling in sick that day to do the locker room cameo!!

DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT GAME

Extensive counceling, lots of money, and several patched holes in the wall (and one completely shattered remote control) later, my life is almost back to normal.

lol

It’s been what about 10 years? I think you need a better therapist. But I certainly see your point, I will not bring it up again.

Lol

I wasn’t old enough to enjoy that win

WOW

WR Mike Sims-Walker (calf), CB Rashean Mathis (groin) & DT John Henderson (shoulder) are listed as doubtful

sounds good

Hopefully we can stay safe and healthy through the game. They’re almost forced to run the ball and we should have all day to throw it. Maybe we can build an early lead and allow Hilliard to step up with a few more carries later on. Ricky needs to be fresh going forward so I hope we can even get away with using Sheets a few times. I’d love to see Turner make an appearance but I doubt he’s active.

Those players can’t be happy that the game is blacked out. Now each of those players not only is stressed about the playoffs but their families as well. All of those players might have to move their families in the near future. Imagine some of the nagging that must be going on in their homes. The staff must be facing the same issues. Basically anyone employed by the team either faces relocation or unemployment.

I’d be pissed at the fanbase.

It really comes down to them and the Bills to move to LA. At least the Bills have shown the ability in the past to draw when the team is winning. They also have history and I’d imagine much more fans than Jax.

Good for LA, they’ll get to start with a pretty good team.

Mike Sims-Walker will play

John Henderson and Rashean Mathis probably won’t.

Miami @ Jacksonville

  Personally, I hate the Jaguars. I hope they never have a winning season. The Dolphins need to go up north and hurt those rabie infested cats.
  I have hated the Jaguars ever since they beat us in their last play off game, literally killed us in fact, humiliating the greatest qb ever to wear the uniform.
  We must never forget. Hurt em, bruise em, lick em good!!!
