It was really disappointing to me that certain players on the Jaguar football team made comments this week about the pre-season game against the Buffalo Bills.
One player stated ” it is only a pre-season game it does not matter.”
While the NFL does have four games they call pre-season games that really are just a practice run for teams to warm up for the regular season. All NFL teams should still have the desire and attitude to win them. After all they also are used to weed out the best players, and the players are still paid to play them. It also sends out a bad message to fans and other athletes who desire to play football.
It also goes to the argument of why have pre-season games if players consider them not to matter?
It also goes to the whole concept of having the right attitude and desire to win every time you play a game. I mean lets really think about that statement Jacksonville Jaguars and see what it has gotten you.
The Buffalo Bills game is a perfect example of the Jaguars giving up. Leading the game in the third quarter by over 17 points and losing the game 35 to 32. What excuse is there for the Jaguars?
Allowing the Buffalo Bills over 443 total yards, having two turnovers on offense and the list goes on and on. Say what you want! Maybe a pre season game does not mean one darn thing and maybe the Jaguars will somehow pull it together by the time they meet the Titans on September 11 th at Everbank Field.
The Jaguars pulled out a victory at home against the Atlantic Falcons but they did not score one touchdown during the game. The game was won by field goals. Final score Jaguars 15 to Flacons 13.
The Jaguars lost to the Patriots 47 to 12.
Last year the Jaguars put themselves in a playoff position at the end of regular season. The Jaguars
than lost four games in a row to end the season. We heard a lot of excuses than also.
So Jaguars my advice not that you want to hear it is that the team would play every game like it is the Super Bowl Championship Game.
