I can see the Jags. Their attendances are suffering, their games are blacked out and Florida has two other pro teams.

In what way?
Do they not get any airtime???

In the NFL if you do not sell out (or sell a certain percentage) your home games they cannot be televised in your local market.

So Jags games will not be shown on TV in Jacksonville unless they sell out.

Its' a measure in place to ensure people don't stay at home to watch on TV. Oakland suffer a lot of blackouts.

Bigger teams in bigger commercial markets like Dallas, the Redskins and the New York Teams rarely if ever suffer blackouts.

I never knew that mate,it's a pretty strong incentive then to get behind yer team!
Although aren't the Jags a pretty young franchise? I think it could be harsh if you are trying to build a support base.

Rumour they'll be moving somewhere. I even heard London named this week as a possible franchise for the Jags

I think the snow had a lot to do with Tennessee's lack of motivation last week as well so I reckon the Pats by 10-14 also. As poor as we have been this season theres on the Giants game that has been beyond us from the start. All the other games we have had a chance in the 4th. Hopefully if we are still in with a chance in the last qtr tomorrow we can build a bit of pressure.

I have no faith in our D though sadly. Teams are finding it all too easy to put 5-10 minute drives on us with easy 1st's.
