Jaguars Dominate Jets as Predicted

Great night at MetLife. In a surprise to no one, the Jaguars won the first quarter (the game for anyone who has ever seen preseason before) and the crowd was stunned at the drumming the Jets received at the hands of Blake Bortles and crew.

Allen Robinson looked like the top tier wide receiver that he is, and Chris Ivory got that touchdown on narrative street in his revenge game.

There were hordes of Jaguar fans in attendance at what can only be described as an underwhelming stadium. That’s what the Jets and Giants paid a billion dollars for? That?

In case you haven’t been to MetLife, it’s essentially a concrete shell of a stadium with the most bizarre concourses. You have to go up-and-down the steps to remain on the same level. Doesn’t even make sense while I’m writing it out but I lived it, so I know it’s true.

The food selection was awful too. There was one crazy thing about the stadium that I noticed: There weren’t any pools. Not one single pool anywhere in the stadium. The stadium also didn’t have the world’s biggest video boards which I thought was strange and made the game day experience much worse than in Jacksonville.

I learned that Jets fans love to scream “HE GOT NOTHIN! NOTHIN!” when an opposing running back makes an eight-yard gain. It’s adorable.

The contingent of Tebow jerseys last night was truly remarkable. I was on the hunt for Tebow jerseys until I realized that Brandon Marshall has the same number. Someone would walk by in a number 15 jersey and I would swing my head around really fast and look at the back of the jersey. I realized after about 10 times of swinging my head around that it could appear to be problematic to passersby so we ended that little experiment. No harm. No foul. It’s preseason game 1 so it was a learning experience for everyone, including me.

We’re on to Tampa.
