Do you feel that?

I’m sure you do. It probably started right after the Houston win. You were probably sitting back at your favorite venue, letting the sweet taste of victory wash down your throat because, let’s face it, we haven’t had such a sweet tasting victory in a really long time, but something was wrong. When you close your eyes, do you get a sudden flash of a big, bushy mustache and sunglasses that would look right at home in a rerun of Magnum P.I.?

That’s because Jeff Fischer is coming to town, and he’s bringing his 0-3 Tennessee Titans with him.

Don’t let that record fool you. These Titans are still a very good team, loaded with talent. If any team can recover from an 0-3 start to make a playoff run, it’s this team. They have the talent, and every Jacksonville fan knows they have the coach. However… 0-4 is a very different story.

It won’t be easy, on paper, the Jags are terribly over matched, and by all means the Titans should win this game.

Hang on. That sounds familiar. In fact, it sounds a lot like the Jaguar teams of the past, when we were supposedly in our prime and the Titans were rebuilding from their salary cap hell. We were supposed to roll over them. We were supposed to be on our way to a deep post season run, and the Titans ruined many a good season for us.

Wouldn’t it be nice to return the favor just once? To really drive the nail into the coffin of this season in which they were super bowl favorites?

Again, it won’t be easy, but you know what? I like these Jaguars.

Gene Smith has built a different Jaguar team from what we’re used to. These aren’t the swaggering, pretty jocks of the Tom Coughlin era, nor are they the playground bullies who, even if they lost fight got their licks in from the first part of the Jack Del Rio era. No, these ave the kids you see in the playground who are already covered in mud because they have already been knocked down, but they’re still picking fights with everyone in the yard.

They kind of remind me of, say, the Tennessee Titans of old.

So come on Jacksonville, for those going to the game, let’s really put our voices behind it, because this game is a lot more than the difference between 2-2 or 1-3, this is a game of pride, let’s give them one good wallop they will remember. Let this be the Titans’ season that the Jaguars slammed the lid on.

Let’s go Jags.
