The Jacksonville Jaguars, who belong to the South Division of the National League, are a relatively young team, founded in 1993 and officially joined the league in 1995, which is still less than two decades old.

Like the Houston Texans, the young Jaguars spent a long time figuring their way, reaching a small peak in the second half of the '90s, reaching the playoffs four years in a row from 1996 to 1999, including two consecutive divisional titles in 1998 and 1998.

Unfortunately, they were not able to continue the excellent tradition, and after entering the new century, they fell into a long slump and gradually became a fish belly.

Since 2000, the Jacksonville Jaguars have enjoyed a rebound between 2004 and 2007, including two wildcard playoff appearances in 2005 and 2007, but other than that, they have missed all the playoffs in other seasons, and even finished bottom of the division many times.

It is worth mentioning that in these two playoff trips, they lost to the same opponent: the New England Patriots. If you add to that the 1996 American League final, which was the closest they came to the Super Bowl, they lost three times to the same opponent in the playoffs and have failed to win a single of their three playoff encounters.

After 2008, the Jacksonville Jaguars were a dispensable team in the league, only in the 2010 season they had an eight-win and eight-loss record, with a winning rate of 50%, and the other four seasons were all won less and more lost; Last season, they ended with a poor record of 2 wins and 14 losses, and even the fierce battle for the top pick was lost to the Kansas Chiefs, which can be described as nothing.

Objectively speaking, the history and record of the Jacksonville Jaguars are lackluster, and after all, there is still a lack of classic moments worth discussing and mentioning; But they still managed to win, no matter how big or small, and they always got victories every season, with one of last season's two victories coming against Andrew Lacker's Indianapolis Colts; Last season, they beat the Baltimore Ravens at the peak of their defensive group — the same one that crushed the San Francisco 49ers that season.

Fish belly fish belly, but even fish belly always has the strength to overturn opponents, this is the NFL.

Overall, this is a team that is stronger defensively than offensively, and last season, it ranked 30th in the league in the offensive group and 29th in the league in the defensive group.

However, the Jaguars' passing defense was able to rise to 22nd in the league, but the ground defense was not able to keep up with the intensity, which dragged it down.

This offseason, the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have changed head coaches for three years in a row, underwent major surgery again — they hired Gus-Bradley as head coach at a high salary in the hope of rebuilding the team and giving it a new lease of life.

Garth Bradley, the name that may seem familiar, is the coach of the Seattle Seahawks defensive team that tuned/coached the "Bombardment Army" that caused a sensation in the league last season.

Bradley's coaching history dates back to 1990, and after 16 years in the college game, he joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2006 and then the Seattle Seahawks in 2009 - both teams with a defensive history and tradition, and then in 2010, Pete Carroll joined the Seahawks.

The Jacksonville Jaguars say Garth Bradley is their true man and will give the veteran coach more trust and time to build a good defensive team on his own beheels, and then build a mature team even further.

But...... Obviously Bradley needs more time. At least not this season.

After the start of the new season, the Jacksonville Jaguars are still dizzy, and it seems that they have not yet found the right rhythm, especially the offensive team, which is a mess, and the current average of only 10.86 points per game in seven games is at the bottom of the league, which also makes them the only two teams in the entire league to lose all of them.

The other team is the Tampa Bay Pirates.

The London Bowl happened in this context.

Although it is said that the Jacksonville Jaguars are still hard to win this season, it seems that the suspense of the game has lost its meaning early; But the whole of London is still welcoming this game with the highest standard.

Cause?

In the UK, in addition to the big-name football hooligans, the fanaticism and persistence of fan culture are also widely known. Since the Jacksonville Jaguars are their home team, and will do so for the next four years, they have not been shy about their support, and even the inconsequential belly, even the hard-to-win games, the fans have welcomed them with the most pomp and enthusiasm.

What's more, this London Bowl gimmick is much more than that.

The appearance of the defending champion San Francisco 49ers undoubtedly reminds people of the New England Patriots, who have appeared twice in the past six years, and this is the hottest team at the moment, and the popularity is needless to say; As an added bonus, the San Francisco 49ers played in the London Bowl in 2010, and Wembley Stadium was the home of the San Francisco 49ers, where they faced the Denver Broncos and eventually won, which made the return of San Francisco even more meaningful.

In addition, there is also a side showdown in this game.

"Lu Ke VS Gabot"!

After JJ Watt and Jack Locke, Lu Ke will welcome another rookie opponent in the same class, Brian Gabot.

In the rookie training camp that year, Brian Gabott was no less popular than Cam Newton and Jack Lock, and as a traditional pocket quarterback, his passing talent was even praised as comparable to Cam Newton's physical fitness-

Every year, the NCAA regularly invites 10 to 15 quarterbacks across the United States to participate in an elite training camp, hoping to tap the potential seedlings of the future in advance, because the selection range covers the entire North American region, which is naturally extraordinary. Gabott was invited in high school, and he was in the same training camp as Andrew Lacker; And in training camp, Gabot defeated Lark to become the MVP of training camp.

Talent and ability, you can see it.

In the training camp, Gabott's von Derick test scored as high as forty-two points, if it wasn't for Lu Ke's perfect score to steal the limelight, Gabot would have been the highest score of that class. Many scouts agree that Gabot's ball intelligence is outstanding and his ability to play on the fly is also worthy of recognition. Eventually, Gabot was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars with the 10th pick in the first round, making him the third quarterback to be drafted.

But after entering the league, Gabot's performance was far below expectations.

He has no problem understanding the playbook, no problem with his defensive reading and tactical set-up, no problem with his passing accuracy, and on paper he should have no problems with his performance, even if he can't be a top elite quarterback, but he still has above-average ability.

The difference between paper and actual exercises is the ability to withstand pressure.

Gabbott's pass success rate under pressure can be called ridiculous, and when the pocket is under pressure, his arsenal of related weapons such as on-the-spot adaptation, movement footsteps, passing timing, tactical changes, etc., is all in chaos, and even actively throws the rugby out of bounds in a hurry to avoid tackles or interceptions, without even trying - it is also a trouble to survive/desire on the field to be too strong.

Suffice it to say, if Gabot has a steady pocket protection, his abilities can reach excellent; But...... In the actual course of the game, the defensive front line is there to destroy pocket protection, and no team wants to let the quarterback stand in the pocket and pass the ball calmly. It's a fierce confrontation, not a fixed-point shot.

In the first three games of the season, Gabott made a pass touchdown, but there were seven interceptions – all of which came from misjudgment and poor selection under pressure; Gabot was then plagued by injuries and his playing time became choppy, missing two games before the London Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers.

It's another comeback from injury.

Like "Lu Ke VS Rock", the hashtag of "Lu Ke VS Gabot" is not strictly speaking, because the performance and honor of the players are no longer at the same level, and now Lu Ke needs to fight more against excellent top quarterbacks; But thanks to Lu Ke's undrafted rookie status, every rookie in the same class, especially the quarterback, will never go out of style:

Why did you choose this quarterback instead of Lu Ke in the first place?

In a way, it's unfair to the other quarterbacks; But this is the professional league, which is always creating topics, even if it is a stone. All of them must speak with strength and results.

Now that the "Lu Ke vs Gabote" match is taking place in the London Bowl again, there is more to discuss.

Compared with the "cliché" North America, the media in England are still full of enthusiasm for those gimmicks and focuses, chattering about every detail, and the frenzy that Lu Ke set off in North America at the beginning is now like a new event in the British Isles again.

What's more, Lu Ke is now a Super Bowl champion, which makes his experience even more legendary.

England's enthusiasm for the London Bowl has far surpassed that of North America, as evidenced by the London Bowl's ticket sales, in addition to the warm welcome at Trafalgar Square:

In less than eight minutes, 90,000 tickets for Wembley Stadium were sold out, which not only set a record for the fastest ticket sales, but also set a record for the highest attendance at the London Bowl, and what is even more incredible: this is the first time since the opening of the new Wembley Stadium that all tickets have been sold!

For the first time!
