Maybe the new owner will do everyone a favor and move them........anywhere.

A lot of Thursday night games are not particularly good matchups. Although this one at least looked to pit the Division winners from last year up against each other. I don't think anyone expected the Eagles to be 4-7 at this point. It could be worse...it could be a Red Skins and Seahawks game from last week.
Why the NFL put Jacksonville on Monday night twice is beyond me...as you say probably trying to force ticket sales in that market. I think they also have a Thursday game in a couple weeks too.
I would suspect the new owner will pretend to try and make things work in Jacksonville for two-three years...than say okay enough how much do I have to pay the rest of you so I can move to Los Angeles and their fancy new stadium.
