While it was most definitely a Jags home game...unlike Mexico City, fans weren’t so egregiously outnumbered.
I’d honestly never seen so many different team jerseys outside of a sports store. My tube ride in, I had two Jaguars, Three Texans, two Seahawks, a Patriots, a Vikings, a Colts...and a Bobby Boucher Jersey topped with a Dolphins cap. It was surreal.
The fans were cordial and friendly. No bad blood to be seen.
Pregame had Maurice Jones Drew predicting a 44-7 Jags win on the sideline in front of me. I wasn’t the only one who laughed heartily at that.
The funniest moment was when they brought out a European Golfing legend, and when asked what his favorite team was... he said the Cowboys. He was roundly booed by 99.9% of the crowd. It was hilarious.
Watson had fans in love with him from the first series. Nobody could believe in person what they’d seen on TV with his escapability. A lot of English versions of “how in the hell did he get out of that” were heard repeatedly.
RAC’s defense has me nervous repeatedly (especially with all the 3rd and long conversions), but held it together when needed to. Even I laughed at JJo getting trucked though.
The final sequence with multiple interceptions and fumbles was one of the biggest “wheels have come off” things I’ve ever witnessed.
The Jags defense without Ramsey is highly suspect. The fact that we weren’t keeping in anybody extra to protect on the line was nice to see.
