How do you beat the Colts?

AND

Yup folks, it's just that simple. All we have to do is what we've been doing best. Run the Ball.

Right now Jacksonville is number 3 in Rushing. 32 Rush attempts per game, 4.4 yards per carry, 143 yards per game.

Maurice Jones-Drew is averging 5.3 yards per carry with 7 (SEVEN) Rush TD's so far. Freddy T is pulling 4.5 ypc, with a respectable 4 touchdowns.

Here's my point. No matter what happens on Sunday, Jacksonville has no excuse to do anything but focus on the run. Indy is last in rush defense (or second to last behind St. Louis). They will try to stack against the Run, we MUST keep running the ball.

Runs = Time of Possession = keeping Manning off the Field.

Anyhow, because I know for a fact Jack Del Rio reads this site before every game, I know he'll take my advice and run the ball. Don't let Indy dare you to throw when you KNOW they can't stop the run!

toss out the records

As always I expect a hard fought game between both teams. It is a division game and anything can happen. Looking at the loss to the Titans last week, penalties and mental mistakes will play a big part in determining the winner of this game. The Jaguars have a tendancy to commit penalties in crutial moments against the Colts. As of late, the Colts are the team making blunders, as evidence against Dallas and Tennessee. I can't wait until Sunday.

Yup

That'll be a key for the Jags, can they stay mentally composed.

I recall last december seeing my boys making stupid penalties as the game got out of control. If they do it again It'll be a good point of examination for keeping Jack Del Rio or if we need a more strict coach...

It'll be a great game though, I can't WAIT!
