Jacksonville Jaguars Tickets

Jacksonville Jaguars information, The Jacksonville Jaguars entered the league in 1995 along with the Carolina Panthers as an expansion team. Jacksonville beat out a number of cities in the running to host a new team including St. Louis, Baltimore, and Tennessee, despite Florida already having two franchises. Ultimately the League felt that Jacksonville was a popular football destination since they host the Gator Bowl each year as well as a great game between the Florida Gators and the Georgia Bulldogs. In their inaugural season, the team did not fare so well putting up a 4-12 record. The following year, however, the team made it to the AFC conference championship. Not only was it quite a turnaround but no one saw it coming. The Jag's won their last 7 games of the season pushing their record to 9-7.

The initial team roster may have been the best to date. QB Mark Brunell, WR Jimmy Smith, and OT Tony Boselli were the anchors. Tony Boselli was their 1st player taken in the expansion draft. Unfortunately, Boselli had serious injury problems since the 1998 season rendering him almost ineffective. Since 2000, the JagÌs have not had much success. They failed to make the playoffs each year until 2005 when they placed 2nd in the AFC South division, and eventually lost to the Patriots in the 1st round. The Jaguars are looking to make a repeat playoff appearance this year in 2006, and may just get there with their hard-nosed style of play that is taught through head coach Jack Del Rio.
