The Jacksonville Jaguars have not anticipated selling out any home games in 2009 season, so it is not beyond expectation for them to face this season’s fourth blackout on this Sunday.
There is really nothing attractive of the game. 3-4 Jaguars plays against 1-6 Kansas City Chiefs. The attendance will be even lower than the last home game on Oct. 18- only 42,088 attended the game against the St. Louis Rams.
Because of the economic climate, about 17,000 fans opted not to renew their season tickets this year- the main reason for low attendance and blackouts of Jaguars’ games. But there are teams who have not had to face blackout. KK, the Jaguars gave another explanation: the franchise has small market and they are trying to extend it.
Hope they will at least manage to avoid one blackout when Indianapolis Colts visit on Dec. 17. But I guess a lot of attending fans will be wearing Colts jerseys.

Jaguars are happy with Bouman, not pursuing another quarterback
After the Jacksonville Jaguars waive their third quarterback Paul Smith on July 31, there had been reports saying that the Jaguars were pursuing another quarterback to fill the spot. However, Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio said on Sunday that the team was satisfied with its own backup quarterback Todd Bouman.
Bouman, a 37-year-old veteran, played briefly with the Jaguars in both 2007 and 2008 and was resigned on May 12. He got the job to back up David Garrard after the other competitor Cleo Lemon was released on June 17, the same day when the Jaguars re-signed Todd Boeckman, who was originally to fill Smith’s spot on the roster but was waived on July 31.
“You hear things but in all honesty I’m no different than I was in my first and second year,” Bouman said. “I go out each day to practice and try to get better and help the team win. You do anything you possibly can to help the team and after that, whatever happens, happens.”
Bouman has started six games during his career and used to play for the Vikings, the Saints, the Packers and the Ravens. This year, he completed 27 of 58 passes for 309 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in the three preseason games for the Jaguars.
