I'm a contributing writer for Jagsonville (www.jagsonville.com) and a HUGE Jacksonville Jaguars fan. Joey Marchy, Varick Rosete and I created Jagsonville in hopes that we could spark more interest in the team. The result is a series of articles that give a fan's perspective on everything Jaguars related. The Jaguars belong in Jacksonville. And we're going to do everything we can to make sure they stay in Jacksonville.

In four days' time, the Jacksonville Jaguars will open up their 2010 regular season against the visiting Denver Broncos. The Jaguars have several events planned for fans on game day and have designated it "Teal Sunday". Everyone attending Sunday's game is asked to wear teal to show their support for and loyalty to their hometown team.

When I started doing these articles, I told Joey that I would probably stick to one post per week. First of all, I had never written anything in this capacity before and didn't think that I could produce good content at a rate any higher than 'one-a-week'. Secondly, I didn't want to be that guy. The guy that's constantly all up in everyone's face about some cause or movement, so much that people just start turning a blind eye and a deaf ear. In fact, I'm sure there are people that have read these articles and/or follow me on Twitter that would argue that I'm already pushing it on both counts.
All that being said, I find myself compelled to write, while I should be doing other things. You know, the things I get paid to do; here at my actual job. I don't really know what I'm trying to accomplish by writing this, or if anyone will even care. But that hasn't stopped me yet, so here goes:

It All Starts In The Trenches

In a press conference earlier in the week, Jack Del Rio said his team would clearly need to travel better than it did in its last outing to the west coast. Of course, Del Rio was referring to Week 5, when the Jaguars flew across the country to Seattle, only to get shut out by the Seahawks 41-0. Well, I guess you could say this game was better. Instead of getting shut out, the Jaguars scored a whole three points on their way to a 20-3 loss to the San Francisco 49ers this Sunday.

Identity Crisis? Not Quite...

The morning after the Jaguars rallied to beat the visiting Buffalo Bills 18-15, a dense fog rolled in and covered Jacksonville. Although I'm 100% sure it's just a coincidence, and in no way prophetic, I feel like the fog is appropriate. At the moment, the 6-4 Jaguars are at the forefront of the AFC Wild Card race and one of the surprise teams of this season. However, their identity and future are still unclear.
