  • Summary

  • James Johnson and Phil Smith from The Jaguars Wire (USA Today) bring you the best and most up to date Jacksonville Jaguars news. "Touchdown Jaguars!" is a tribute to the prospective ownership group "Touchdown Jacksonville!" In 1991, the NFL announced plans to add two expansion teams and "Touchdown Jacksonville!" announced its bid for a team, and Jacksonville was ultimately chosen as one of five finalists. In November 1993, the NFL owners voted 26–2 in favor of awarding the 30th franchise to Jacksonville.

  • Episode 104: Texans/Jaguars Week 13 Analysis - Dirty Play Overshadows a Competitive Game
    Dec 6 2024

    What happens when the intense dynamics of the NFL collide with the demands of player safety? We tackle the complexities surrounding the Jacksonville Jaguars' recent hard-fought game against the Houston Texans, a match that ended in a tense 23-20 loss. Despite a slow start, the clash heated up dramatically, culminating in a controversial hit that has everyone talking. Is C.J. Stroud's performance this season truly falling short, or is there more beneath the surface? And what does this mean for the Jaguars as division rivals like the Colts begin to show signs of resurgence?

    As the Jaguars lick their wounds, we shift focus to the Texans' playoff prospects in an AFC South filled with teams on the mend. Despite facing skepticism, the Texans might find a path to the playoffs through a division with rivals in various stages of rebuilding. But how will they fare against powerhouses like the Chiefs and Bills, or even a struggling Ravens team? We explore the ramifications of Azeez Al-Shaair's
    suspension for his hit on Trevor Lawrence, examining the NFL's response and what it signals for the future of player safety and league rules.

    From the sidelines to the locker room, we unpack the heated reactions and defense strategies from both teams in the aftermath of a contentious play. With insights from former players and coaches, we question the evolving nature of quarterback protection and the balance between safety and the sport's inherent aggression. How do figures like Chris Canty and Rex Ryan interpret these incidents, and what do their perspectives say about the current state of the game? Join us as we advocate for Trevor Lawrence's long-term health and discuss what the Jaguars can do to adapt to the changing landscape of the NFL.

    Nov 29 2024

    This week, our conversation takes a hard look at the Jaguar's recent struggles, including the blowout loss to the Detroit Lions. We're not shying away from the tough topics, questioning the leadership choices made by Shad Khan and the looming uncertainty around Doug Pederson and Trent Baalke’s future roles. From discussing the team's troubling fundamentals, like tackling and game planning, to the curious case of Khan’s luxurious yet seemingly disconnected yacht, the narrative around the Jaguars' leadership is anything but smooth sailing.

    Amidst these challenges, there’s a glimmer of hope as we celebrate Fred Taylor's Hall of Fame nomination. Reflecting on his career, we find moments of gratitude and humor, especially as Thanksgiving memories come into play. As we contemplate the Jaguars' draft position and their upcoming games against teams like the Jets and Raiders, we continue to hold out for brighter days with Trevor Lawrence leading the charge. It's a rollercoaster of emotions and opinions, and we’re here to ride it with you, sharing our perspectives and hoping for a turnaround in Jacksonville’s fortunes.
