Monday Morning Hangover:Week 1

by FSBlueApocalypse on Sep 8, 2008 1:51 PM EDT Comment 9 comments

Most of my thoughts on the Jags-Titans was covered in the Postmortem, Personally, I still have the Kool-Aid in hand, but will definetly be wondering if I need to spike it more depending on the Buffalo game.

As for the rest of the NFL

-The sound you hear is that of the league schedule makers gasping at the thought of Cleveland getting 5 prime time games. If yesterdays game against Dallas is any indication of the season, the Browns are not living up to the hype.

-Reggie Bush did well today in New Orleans victory over Tampa. However, this is what he has always done best. The day he gets the "Bust" talk removed completely from the conversation is when he can take a run in between the tackles.

-If Brady is out for more than a week or two, the AFC playoff picture is radically different.

-Rejoice Jaguars fans, the whole AFC South sucks.

-Calm down Jets fans, you were playing the Dolphins. Favre is still going to make your team better, but I doubt they get above 8-8.

-To anyone who still thinks the Jaguars should have traded for Jason Taylor, did you even watch the game Thursday night?

Play of the Day: Easily the Carolina Panthers winning on the last play at San Diego.

You must have missed it

-Tom Brady is out for the season!
-We were getting pretty good play from Harvey and Groves.
-I called the Carolina win over the Chargers.
-The Titans don’t suck, especially now with VY on the sidelines for the next month.
-When healthy we could be the best team in the AFC. The cool thing about this statement is that our o line shouldn’t be out of service that long.

Manuwai Out for Year

The Jags need to get on the horn to Larry Allen, and bring the Brinks truck ASAP!

Jags questions from a Bills fan

I’ll start by saying that my Super Bowl pick before the season was (and still is)Jacksonville over Seattle, so I have tons of respect for Jacksonville heading into this game…From what I can gather, both your starting guards and starting center are supposed to miss this week’s game. What is the level of comfort down there with Reyes, Nwaneri, and Norman? I know that I was very hard on Tutan Reyes when he played for the Bills in 2006, but I’m just one opinion…Is Jerry Porter supposed to be back this week?…How involved in the defense was Derrick Harvey in week one? Did he look rusty? Did Will James suit up in week one and what role is he supposed to play for the Jags this season? Thanks in advance for any info you can take the time to provide heading into a pretty big game in week 2. Besides last year’s game that got away from us in the 4th quarter, Buffalo and Jacksonville have played some real thrillers whenever they’ve met over the years and I suppose this game should be equally interesting…good luck from week three on…

Never forget 56-10. Revenge.

From a former Bills fan

good luck in the game but if Jacksonville losses it, it will show weakness that will be hard to fix, so expect a very very tough game from the Jags.

Yes, our entire offensive line except our tackles are hurt. Expect Marcus Stroud to lead the charge up front.

With the passing game also in a shambles, I would expect to see Jerry Porter, but Jack Del Rio will not send a player out hurt. If he plays, expect him to play well.

Derrick Harvey made no tackles but showed great football presence in an interception. He looks like a real player and will play very hard as well. He has a long ways to go but should begin to be a factor.

Will James did suit up when Reggie Nelson went out and got burned on a crossing pattern. I think it was Gage that burned him late in the game. He won’t look good on film. He played Safety.

I don’t mean to be rude, but I was at the Buffalo game and it never seemed in doubt. The Jaguars kicked five field goals and still scored 30+ points. It never felt like Buffalo had the power to put on a surge. This year you look very different, much improved in the run and the secondary with a legitimate offensive attack. It will not be thing a of beauty this week. The Jaguars are cornered animals with a lot of bite. If you win this game, New England and the Jets will be easy.

thanks

I know what you mean about last year’s game. It never felt like we were really in it, but then again, it was 19-14 early in the 4th and Buffalo was driving late in the game down 22-14, so I had hopes of stealing it pretty much throughout. In the end we were clearly outclassed in terms of talent last year. Other than that though, the two teams played some real thrillers over the years: The playoff game in ‘96 (I’m still depresseed the kick by Hollis bounced in- that was Kelly’s last game), the Thursday night tilt in ‘01 when the worst kicker in NFL history, Jake Arians, came though with a game winner for the Bills, the Flutie 4th down bootleg thriller in ’98 when the Jags were undefeated heading in, the Leftwich to Wilford opener in ’04 (I was at that game unfortunately), and the ’06 game where Losman took the Bills down the field in less than 40 seconds left for a walkoff field goal. For two teams that have only met a handful of times, they’ve played some real memorable games since Jacksonville came into the league…in any event, thanks for info.

Jags games were nothing compared to

your string of playoff games. Remember Jim Kelly throwing an interception in the end zone to Clay Mathews of Cleveland that ended the almost game winning drive? That was just before the start of a great run of years of repeated playoff appearances. I hope in Game 3, the Bills begin a great run into the playoffs, where maybe we can meet again. I hope they are 1-1 however.
