feat @EmperorLemon
How does a team go from a half-decade plus of terrible play, to 3 minutes shy of the Super Bowl...right back to being terrible the next year? Well...the 2017 Jacksonville Jaguars are not like most teams.

A Blake Bortles vs Nick Foles Superbowl would have broken the space-time continuum
crazy collab, glad emp recognized the quality of your content and wanted to be a part of it
Well Emp is a Jaguars fan. And this season was painful, so he needs to talk about it.
I love how Emp has become the resident Jags fan in the youtube sports community
He might be the only one
Check out JaguarGator9 / JG9.
I mean I’m not a content creator but I’m a suffering Jags fan.
JaguarGator9… not sure about anyone else
Shayy is the only other one I know about
As a jags fan, i had never been more disappointed in a team than then, because i knew that was gonna be our only chance at a sb in a long time... unfortunately it was true
It was friend. It was…
Refs absolutely robbed Jacksonville that game. Patriots were outplayed but unfortunately the Jags did not outplay the refs and the Pats.
Our time is coming bro
They lost because they were outnumbered football games usually are head to head 1v1 not patriots and referees vs jaguars
This was no fluke. They had a absurdly talented defense: Ramsey(1st team all pro), C. Campbell (1st team), Telvin Smith(2nd team), Aj Bouye(2nd team), with support from rising stars DL Y.Ngakoue and LB Myles Jack. Also: Best defenses of the decade, per PFF WAR:
1. 2015 Broncos
2. 2018 Bears
3. *2017 Jaguars*
4. 2013 Seahawks
Be honest, I don't like the word fluke because you can't basically just have luck go your way to make it that far no matter if you're a super team or not.
Yeah the 2017 Jags may have been One year wonders but they for sure weren't a fluke that entire season
Ah yes, the tragedy of Sacksonville Abbey. I wish they made another season.
that deserves a renewal
Unfortunately, we aren't Sacksonville anymore 😭
I live in Jacksonville and how we needed that success. This year’s late season collapse to miss the playoffs is a reminder that the Jags disappoint often.
This could have been the most random Super Bowl winner ever. Too bad those damn script writers couldn’t stand the idea of not having Tom Brady in there
07 and 11 Giants are for sure up there. Came out of absolutely nowhere and knocked off the Pats...twice.
Yep
@@NicholasNormile🤡🤡 - brady owns you son
can yall shut up about that dumbass script thing, it's old move tf on
@@hunterfleeman as long as it upsets you, then nah 😂
People forget that the Jags started the next season off 3-1 including a win against the Patriots.
They got revenge and it was all down hill from there.
It's so strange that EmpLemon went from legend within YTP to a sports guy lol
Before he deleted all his ytps, and started praising people like Mel Gibson and Roseanne
@@Bullboy_Adventuresso
Lol we truly are living in the strangest timeline
@@johndavis9321 sus behavior
What is ytp
Worst part is they got robbed by The NFL who loves Tom Brady to let him rightfully lose to Bortles
One wrong The call doesn't change the game. If there were many wrong calls (which I don't see many) then it in fact changed the game
@@dimitrytimothee1590your pfp tells me everything
One wrong call absolutely does change the game, what a strange thing to say. That call was terrible and added to a long line of really lucky calls and plays that helped the Patriots succeed
Jaguars had the ball and went 3 and out. The game isn’t just played on defense, they should’ve been able to score. All teams get bad calls in big moments, which is a huge problem and seems to have only gotten worse since this game
@@garret6464 I'll be mad if Many calls was unnecessary but just one bad call? I'll let it pass
I can't lie as a steelers fan I still remember the two games vs jacksonville that year that we lost and then this year didn't help me forget
Jaguars are always going to beat you they own your whole franchise look at the record since 95
@@SimbaOtsutsuki yep, they lead the series 15-13. It feels like the record is so much worse for the Steelers. Thought they would’ve been down at least 10 games lol.
I was rooting for the Jags so hard and this is probably one of the most gut punch defeats i've ever seen. So close yet so far away, and to see them completely collapse in the upcoming years.
nathaniel hackett being the OC in this offense baffled me too knowing how he is now
To think we were that close to a Super Bowl match-up between Blake Bortles and Nick Foles (or maybe Case Keenum if Philly didn't torch the Vikings).
I may not have been watching football back then, but hearing about Sacksonville in hindsight, I kind of feel like they may have had a real chance to at least keep the Super Bowl close with the Eagles. Sure, that Eagles squad was a great team, but they barely squeaked by the Patriots by eight points even despite the Pats defense playing really badly (funny how Matt Patricia helped hand the Eagles a Super Bowl with his bad defense and then later helped ruin Philly's conference title defense with more bad defense). With that in mind, you gotta wonder if the Sacksonville defense could have stopped the Eagles there, even if their offense wasn't nearly as good as New England's.
Honestly Jags would have got blown out by the Eagles because Eagles was unstoppable in the SB
The Eagles would have totally blown out the Jags. People forget that the Patriots defense was pretty good too that season, as it usually was. Bortles would have been a turnover machine. If Brady who put up 500 yards didn’t beat the Eagles, then no one could. I like hypotheticals, but Bortles would not have competed with Nicky Foles whatsoever.
@@joeygambone4757 Obviously Bortles in that game wouldn't have compared to how Brady or even Foles performed there. But it was mainly a matter of the defense, although admittedly it seems like the Sacksonville defense struggled with late stretches in the playoff games. They allowed 28 points by the Steelers in the second half (even if the last seven came when there was so little time left that Pittsburgh didn't even try an onside kick and just decided to get out of there), and of course went from shutting down New England 20-10 to allowing 14 points within the last few minutes (although of course that infamous Myles Jack call didn't exactly help a ton). Against that Jaguars team and especially that defense, I still think the Eagles win, especially with how that defense was a bit less vaunted for their pass coverage (they weren't exactly the No-Fly Zone), but I do think that Super Bowl LII could have definitely been a very different game and maybe not quite the most lop-sided had the Jaguars made it instead, even with Jacksonville's comparitively unremarkable offense.
Of course though, we didn't get that match-up and so we'll never know for sure what would have happened. I mean hey, maybe there's a timeline out there where Keenum's Vikings made that Super Bowl and they put such an unexpected spanking on the Patriots that it made the '85 Bears Super Bowl look like a nail-biter by comparison. Completely unrealistic, sure, but it's definitely funny to think about.
@@joeygambone4757 Thank you for explaining a good reason. Better to lose a playoff game then getting blown out in the SB
@@dimitrytimothee1590I get this argument in world cups because you have a third place game to redeem yourself. But in the NFL…I’d rather get to a Super Bowl, just to at least be able to say I was there.
That Jacksonville jersey helmet combo was fire
I remember seeing a tweet of Bills fans tables being unloaded off a plan before the JAX/BUF game
Wow I figured a BFM x EmpLemon collab would happen for a NASCAR video but this is still great!
Same
Emplemon saying "Urinatingtree" made my week
As a diehard Jaguars fan who was only 15 at the time, I cried after that game. I knew that game was our only shot for the Super Bowl. We were so close and some unfortunate calls didnt go our way. I miss that defense, what a fun season. But I could sense the collapse after the Cowboys game the next season when we got blown out.
Maybe the refs honestly got the myles jack fumble call wrong, but knowing Goodell, they knew what they were doing
JG9 should have been apart of this
Didn’t expect this collab but I’m totally here for it!!
insane collaboration here, what a time to be alive
The collab i didnt see coming!
(JUST LIKE YOUR MOM)
I had so much money on the vikings & jags to make the superbowl, i REALLY wanted to see Case Keenum vs. Blake Bortles
The 2017 Jags are, by far, one of the greatest overachievers in NFL history. That team was basically one of the biggest afterthought in the NFL, even when they were doing relatively well in the season. Then they come into the playoffs and play smash-mouth, grindnose football against the Bills, a team of destiny by some accounts for breaking the (at the time) longest active playoff drought there was, and providing one of the greatest playoff upsets that wasn't in the Super Bowl. The fact that they went toe-to-toe with the Patriots IN NEW ENGLAND and nearly made it speaks a lot to how much of a threat they were, and even moreso when you see how they started off the 2018 season before they fell off a cliff. I think if they make that Super Bowl against the Eagles, they even had a chance to win, or at least make it one of the greatest Super Bowls of all time by making it a brutal battle with them to see who would get their first ring.
2003 Panthers, 2008 AZ Cardinals and 2021 Bengals are also among my most favorite teams in NFL history
Hearing Emp mention Tree feels like a fever dream
2017 Blake was different man
sacksonville surely was something special for that year it lasted
Biggest fluke has to be that year Tim Tebow won a playoff game with Denver. That run almost had me believing in divine intervention. At least Bortles could throw a spiral.
Small detail, but I love the choice of background music for your vids man, like the Vince instrumentals and shit. u got taste
Man..... I was wanted them to go to the Super Bowl so bad..... it really is such a shame that they quite frankly have never had a season like that since....
(Side note: I like those uniforms that they had back then compared to the ones they have now)
Unexpected and very welcome collab 😂 🔥
insane collab lets goo
wtf jayram u a football guy? LOOL
Yooooooo I recognize that background music starting at 0:36! I remember that tune played on the menu screen in Madden 2002. That was one of my first Gamecube games. 😁
3:17 ayy vince staples - are you with that in the background. an absolute banger
The “Why Your Team Sucks” article is a yearly thing. Every team gets one every year.
EmpLemon is probably the biggest Jaguars fan on RUclips, so I’m glad that he got some input on this video
I watching the AFC title game on public transport as they were using the Mercedes Busses with built in TVs for the trains were out so that makes it memorable.
lmao anyone else look for their cat @4:22? great vid, the algorithm is working, spreading the vid to EmpLemon & football fans I guess
The biggest Fluke in Colab History (feat. I’m sorry the pun was to irresistible)
The... pun?
Not even a Jags fan, but this 2017 team was fun to follow from afar
Love the Black Ops II round infinity music at the beginning of the video.
Its nice hearing emp be so casual for once
Quite amazed that Jacksonville had a chance to play in the New England Invitationals
holy shit the song used for the into giving me flashbacks to 2013 when buried came out for bo2 😭 i love that map sm ❤️
Lmao I love that the season being considered successful is making urinatingtree go crazy
Congrats Steelers 2017 was special
Imagine if the Jags had upgraded their QB to Lamar in 2018 (who was available at 29) instead of sticking with Bortles.
Yeah, I wish but the city is racist 1. it is literally named after a slave owner 2. What these coaches like to do is bring their quarterbacks from college or high school with them and they don't like Jacksonville having black quarterbacks we only had two starting black quarterbacks, David Garrard, and then it was another brotha who was pretty solid. 🤦🏾♂️ smdh
Looking back at it now those two tone helmets and jersey designs were actually sick
When you're playing the greatest dynasty in football history, you gotta play more than 3.15 quarters.
2:16 A-robs worst catch in career history
The only comp I can think of is the Royals being ass for the entire 21st century aside from 2014 and 15
I was at this game !!! I swear I saw Brady rattle Ramsey on the sideline before the game. Ramsey looked like he saw a ghost after their interaction
As a Jags fan, that year was the most fun I have ever had during a season. I was at the game against Buffalo and the atmosphere was electric. Before the AFC Championship I went to Publix to grab supplies for the game 90% of the people in the store had on Jags gear and were saying go Jags to each other. Also, lets talk about the Intro to the AFC Championship with John Malkovich!
The greatest year of my life
Jag fan here, this season felt similar to 2017 of just falling off after potential again. Jack wasnt down!
also got me immediately with the madden 2002 music haha
emplemon, sacksonville, and a song from the buried zombies soundtrack? this video might as well have been made for me.
That was a great run. Lot of character on that team.
Can’t wait to see the video on the 2022 lions
What's the name of the first song in the background
EmpLemon is my favorite youtuber it was suprising to see him here
CRAZY COLLAB
Flukes? Sports? EmpLemon? Were here for it
15:00 Utree apperance🔥
The collab of tomorrow
Will always remember that them calling Myles Jack down started the “Myles Jack Wasn’t Down” Beer. And Bortles = B.O.A.T (Best Of All Time)
I love EMPLEMON
Tom Brady getting a call in the 4th the shifts momentum is the most classic NFL thing I've ever heard
Jags made a MAJOR mistake cutting Marcedes Lewis in cold blood. Yes he was old but the guy went on to go 6 more years strong and he gave that group a real sense of identity given how long he had stuck it out there. Key aspects that are undervalued. Paul Pozluzny was that for the defense and he was gone that offseason too
Running the ball, management QB, and a stellar D is still a way to win in the NFL and that's why the new harbaugh will thrive. Hopefully the Steelers can follow this formula next season
I loved those helmets!!!
I will forever hate Tom Brady for what he did to my Jags in that AFC Championship Game
The biggest fluke in sports history is Eli Apple getting drafted
yeah good correction cuz we played the pats week 1 in 2018 and got the getback we deserved which is all i needed for closure
I remember being so upset because I thought that game was going to have playoff seeding implications lol
(pats fan) I worked at a bowling alley w a jags fan that year, man he was on top of the world all years we were working that playoff game we beat them, I didn't have the heart to rub it in, this grown man was crying for coming so close I just told him good game and great season, I truly thought they'd be at least almost as good next year not back to mediocrity
Coughlin really is the king of flukes
Look at the penalty discrepancy vs NE. A phantom PI on Bouye right before half lead to a Patriots touchdown. Myles Jack wasn’t down took away a Jaguars touchdown. The NFL didn’t want a Jaguars/Eagles lead by a backup QB Super Bowl. They needed a big name and the Golden Boy was there.
Go Emp!🎉
I’m surprised the rematch the next szn where the Jags won week 2 wasn’t mentioned in the vid
as a Jags fan, we do exist damnit 😂🤣 I've lived In Seattle my whole life, and yet, it's always been DUUUVAAALL for me.
Tom Brady got 2 crazy terrible calls to win that game. Gronk got an PI from out of bounds. The jags won on the field but couldn’t beat the NFL and their refs
2011 giants. 99 titans. 08 cards all had flukey playoff runs
Refs robbed us of greatness that year. Can't stand when people try to say the league rigs games for Jacksonville
I loved watching the 2017 Jags
Tonight, on Sacksonville Abbey...
AJ Bouye was the one hit wonder of the one hit wonder…dude got a massive deal from I think Houston that next offseason
I really wanted to see jaguars at least go to SB. I was having fun seeing the owner happy. I hope Texans don't devolve. Luckily our team is brand new. Few are at the end of their contracts.
Making UTree blow a fuse is the real accomplishment here I'd say
Their defense that year helped me win the fantasy chip
fallout ahh background music (i love it)
Urinating tree mentioned
You see what happens when you put a good team around Bortles, he can go to the superbowl and that's what you forget.
One only had to look at their 2017 schedule and realize that the season was a total fluke….
7 of their 10 wins came against these guys….Joe Flacco, Andy Dalton, DeShone Kizer, Jacoby Brissett X2, Tom Savage (Deshaun Watson came in after halftime), TJ Yates…..hell they also LOST to QBs like Blaine Gabbert, Josh McCown, and Jimmy G. It was wuite possibly the easiest schedule in NFL history.
On their defense, they finished with 55 sacks as a team…..28 of those, more than half the total, came against only 2 teams….the Texans and the Colts…..both teams fielding the 2 worst O-Lines at the time and also both teams missing their franchise QBs (Watson and Luck respectively).
It was literally no surprise they would suck the very next year with a first place schedule (facing BETTER QBs) and having to then face their division rivals (Texans, Colts) with their franchise QBs healthy (they went 1-3 vs the Texans/Colts in 2018).
The Bortle Rocket
We are seeing this exact thing happen with the Lions. Hopefully it doesn't end the same way.
I'm an Eagles fan and I was so pissed the Jags blew that game against the Pats. I figured we'd get to watch the Birds lose to Brady again but it's so much more satisfying that their Super Bowl win came against the Patriots dynasty.
Surprised you didn't mention that the Jags had the ball and good field position and timeouts before the half of the AFC CCG and yet chose to sit on the ball and go to the half.
