After a parity-defying run of awful games and horrible seasons, the Jaguars gave their fans what they deserve — a reason to watch until the end.
dancing into the endzone with a Dak Prescott pass; from Trent-Baalke-must-go to, hey, maybe the general manager deserves some credit; from a regular-season finale with fans dressed as clowns to one with a packed house and playoff hopes.
For those who do go to Jaguars games — and never stopped going — this is what you deserve. And I’d say that win or lose Saturday night.The traditional Monday morning gauge is black or white, win or lose.I’ve done this both as a sportswriter and as a fan. And to a degree, it’s understandable. But I don’t think what NFL fans deserve when they follow a team necessarily is victory. What they deserve is a team that’s competitive, that provides drama .
In a league built for parity, it’s very hard to keep winning. It’s also hard to keep losing. And for more than a decade, with the exception of the 2017 season , the Jaguars put together a truly remarkable run of awful games and horrible seasons.It wasn’t just that they lost. It was that so many of their games were lost before halftime, so many of their seasons finished by Thanksgiving.
But I do know that this is what Jaguars fans deserve. Having exciting finishes. To games and to a season. Having reasons to watch most games all the way to the fourth quarter. And by the end of the season, having a game with more than a draft pick on the line.
