Texas@Jacksonville ... When the Game was Won

PrintMake no mistake, the only way the Jaguars were going to lose was if they beat themselves. They came out fired up and the energy lasted the entire game. To prove it, here is the final drive sequence that won the game. It was nothing special, just "We are better than you man on man".
It was just what everyone says, put the ball in the hands of the best player. Unfortunately, he needs a line to block. The Jaguars couldn't punch it in earlier on four chances, so this final sequence was risky.
Jacksonville Jaguars at 4:01, (1st play from scrimmage 3:57)
1-10-JAX 24 (3:57) M.Jones-Drew up the middle to JAX 24 for no gain (Z.Diles).
2-10-JAX 24 (3:19) M.Jones-Drew up the middle to JAX 39 for 15 yards (D.Barber). (Torry Holt thowing a nice block).
Timeout #1 by HST at 03:10.
1-10-JAX 39 (3:10) M.Jones-Drew up the middle to JAX 43 for 4 yards (Z.Diles).
2-6-JAX 43 (2:29) M.Jones-Drew right end to HST 48 for 9 yards (B.Pollard).
1-10-HST 48 (2:23) M.Jones-Drew up the middle to HST 48 for no gain (Z.Diles).
Timeout #2 by HST at 02:18.
2-10-HST 48 (2:18) M.Jones-Drew right end to HST 41 for 7 yards (B.Pollard).
Timeout #3 by HST at 02:13.
3-3-HST 41 (2:13) M.Jones-Drew right end to HST 38 for 3 yards (D.Barber).
Game over.
2-6-JAX 43 (2:29) M.Jones-Drew right end to HST 48 for 9 yards (B.Pollard).
Another run to Eben Britton side.
3-3-HST 41 (2:13) M.Jones-Drew right end to HST 38 for 3 yards (D.Barber).
If he makes 3 yards we win. We couldn't make three yards on the goal line before in four chances, now we have one chance. Again, the run is to Eben Britton side and there is no misdirection. This is an "in your face" bold move and it worked. The Texans could have stopped him for a loss, then they could have stopped him short. In the end, they couldn't stop him at all. Three yards needed, three yards delivered. Did we expect anything less?
It was a great struggle, but one the Jaguars deserved to win.

Britton has been greatly improving lately
He was the only Jags lineman to get a positive grade in SF last week from PFF and I’m sure he’ll get another one.

Y'all definately deserved the win congrats
With that being said I call bullshit on this thread. Y’all won this game by making us endure a quarter and a half with Rexy as our quarterback.
You were not going to win this game

Nope
Just a witness a a football game. Your team had deterioriated since the first meeting. Our defensive line had your offensive line all day and our receivers outplayed your secondary.
It was a definitive win if the Jaguars didn’t give it away. Just a fact, that’s all. If it was different, I would say so.

No kitty bad kitty. I know I spelled know wrong but I know you understood me.
He thinks if Schwab had played they would have won
Still don’t know how though. Schwab took a hit, came back and had ample opportunity to win the game and didn’t. Being there and feeling it was all I neeed. The Jaguars had it coming onto the field. It was in the air.

And Tkopa
Yea that’s what I was thinking and that’s an intelligent reply for an idiotic one see best jag the Internet gangsta
I know
But you haven’t been a guest we want to stay much longer either. Texan fans are our favorites here. Titans and Colt fans live somewhere away from reality.
Message is, you are welcome to stay and make good contributions. Just don’t instigate. Thanks.

Ok
I hear you but wit is one thing Internet gangsters make me laugh tho.
And
I don’t want to make our fan base look bad I just have a sense of humour. Like I said congrats now keep on winning and do some damage in the playoffs
It was a good game. But if you honestly believe that...
…we would have lost with Schaub in for the extra quarter and a half you are not thinking straight.
We should have stopped MJD at the end to get the ball back, so that is an indictment of our defense.
But having Rex “F*** It I’m Going Deep!” Grossman as your qb for almost 2 quarters is a death sentence. He had a FIVE POINT SIX QB RATING….5.6!
With Schaub in there it is at LEAST another TD or couple of field goals.
Anyway it doesn’t matter. Schaub went out and we lost, end of story. Good luck in the playoffs, I will be pulling for you.

I Picked Up
Some dumbass this past summer, maybe I can decipher it. I think he is saying that he is mad because his mom ran out of pop tarts and his raging alcoholism got him kicked out of the basement. He then preceded to rob a Arbys with a BB gun.

Sorry Bro
Thought you were a Titans fan. I’m cool with Texans.

Miami wants to win badly.
Mathis may be back. We played strong with conviction.
David is hurt, he won’t say it but he is sore today. An offensive line that couldn’t punch in a touchdown from 3 yards is a bad line. There is plenty to worry about.
My bold prediction is a real hard fought football game. The Jaguars have not lost in their own home since opening day. This will be a battle. I can’t predict the Jaguars. Sorry Z.

Okay
Then We see he things in the same side.
(I think Mathis will be NOT back yet-He will return against Indy)
I hope 7 days is enough for everyone to heal.
BY the way; did you see any sign that MJD is playing with an injury?
I have the feeling that some of the reason he is limited; because he carrying some Injury that limit him. Watching him in the stadium what is your view about that?

No, he is not injured
I have pictures of a beautiful cut he made. He hit a wall time and time again. I’ll show you later, ok?
THanks Z.

OK Terry
Can’t wait to that; and for Wendesday night’s BCC radio to you guys talk about this game!

I would agree
that having Grossman back there helped a lot in the Jaguars effort to win. I wouldn’t go as far as to say that we would have lost otherwise. The stats may indicate that, but the Jaguars starting playing more conservatively on offense. And instead of trying to just run out the clock at the end, we may have needed to score instead; probably a harder feat, but not much more difficult considering how the Texans defense was playing. Like I said earlier in the offseason, the Texans are talented, but they need more depth or they will continue losing close games like this.
