Wind Sprints Week 13
Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit.
Vince Lombardi
- Vince, I promise you I am not going to quit on this team.
- 36,000? I honestly think it was less than that. I'm sick inside and when I see Dan Hicken on TV saying this is not going to keep this team in Jacksonville I know "they" know something is being discussed.
- I hope the National Media rips this city for the lack of attendance.
- Derek Cox was a joy to watch. There were a few plays where Andre Johnson looked like he was wearing a teal jersey.
- Along those lines, can we begin cutting the secondary, on the whole, some slack? No Rashean Mathis and we saw big plays by Alexander, Brackenridge and Nelson. Amazing what QB pressure will do.
- As usual we have at least one "wrap up Reggie" play. No reason Andre Johnson catches that ball across the middle and runs to the goal line, Nelson.
- Unless you were at the game you won't be able to appreciate how hard Matt Schaub worked to complete a good number of his passes.
- Lost my voice about mid-way through the third quarter. Feels good.
- Fourth and inches...quarterback sneak. Do not hand the ball off three yards in the backfield.
- As Grossman walks onto the field I told my friend this seals the victory. The guy behind me says, "You must not be a Gator." Thank you, sir, for validating the perception that this is a college town.
- Your best value for food in the stadium is a Burrito Gallery burrito. No, I did not get paid for that plug.
- Alabama should destroy Texas. That was a dominating performance and fun to watch. I was pulling for Florida but you have to appreciate the level of execution Saban's team exhibited.
- This is the last time I'll offer an opinion about Tebow as a college athlete. The kid loves being a Gator and he competes with his heart. Anyone who needs to kick this kid for crying needs a character check.
- I'm sure no one will knock Bobby Bowden for not addressing the media for fear he might break down.
- Oh, I like the Gators but I am a UCLA Bruin so losing is nothing new to me.
- I know you hated it ACC but FSU in the Gator Bowl is the right thing to do. Thank you for fielding some of the greatest teams I've ever watched, Bobby.
- For the many of you who missed the game, that was the most AWESOME fly over ever! I swear I saw the pilot touch the scoreboard with his hand.
- Yeah, it was that close.
- My heart goes out to the Texans fans. Your team is less than a handful of plays from 9-3.
- There was a guy wearing shorts and a 12th Man tank top at the game. Really?
- This stat really floored me. Only eight TD passes by David going into today's game. Only two, Lewis (2) and Walker (6), owned those.
- How about Nate Hughes and Ernest Wilford!!!!!!!
- I'd like to thank every woman who attended this weekend's game in knee high black boots. It made the game about 10 degrees warmer.
- So Oakland can travel to Pittsburgh and beat the Steelers but the Jaguars can't travel to Seattle or San Francisco and win at least one of those games?
- And on that note, I don't ever want to hear someone say one player does not make a difference on defense.Troy Polamalu picks off at least one of those Gradkowski ducks.
- If you haven't seen The Blind Side you must. I haven't been affected by a sports movie like that since Remember the Titans.
- Of all the fans I've watched games with at our stadium, Dolphin fans by far have been the worst. I expect next weekend to be nasty in the stands, and possibly a 70\30 ratio.
- Robert Meachem's strip and TD return of an INT by Kareem Moore was one of the better plays you'll see.
- I am irrationally superstitious about sports. I'll stay in the bathroom if my team does well while I'm there (2007 playoff game against the Steelers.) I've only been able to attend three home games and they've won all three. I can't explain the other two wins but remember, I'm irrational.
- Four sacks and nine QB hurries. One sack there were 4 Texans over David. So much for that offense only meeting.
- Call me crazy but I think Drew Brees stole Tom Brady's secret bag of victory magic.
- No one seems to want to cut Josh Scobee anymore.
- Mack Brown, I don't care what lip service you our your quarterback try to give us. The end of that game would have made us all forget the name Les Miles.
- The stats don't show it but Groves played bigger than two tackles and one QB hurry.
- We were small in number but we were loud and today was perfect football weather.

•There was a guy wearing shorts and a 12th Man tank top at the game. Really?
I actually saw this guy, while walking out of the stadium & just had to applaud him. After he passed… I then see a lady with what seemed like her entire bed spread. LOL
In the face of adversity, what you do from then on dictates who you really are...

My parents are Dolphins fans. My brothers are TB fans. I was going to go to their house to watch the game, but remembered that I hated their friends they brought over. Terrible football fans. That’s why I chose the Miami game to be the one I buy tickets for,

I'll knock Bowden, but I've done that plenty already
The Dolphins and Colts game attendance will be critical at this point
You know we’re going to get at least 5K, maybe 10K Dolphins fans there.

Kind of you to say
Work and family were demanding, in a good way, earlier and it really started out of my desire to write something but quickly. Surely most of this isn’t rocket science and I like the opportunity to find more interesting bullet items. I think of it as an opportunity to point out things that are good water cooler talk or that maybe aren’t as obvious. Better still it creates a dialogue to share interesting things we all may have seen. I am committed to the idea that this is entertainment and a means of escape.
The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, but in rising again after you fall.

I must say
I totally enjoy this form. Very well written every piece of it so far.
Less in this case is absolutely MORE!

If the National media rips us for attendance
what does that accomplish exactly? Will it be new or different? What is your point about that except to repeat an already acknowledged fact?
I am at a complete loss to understand why Collin recommeded this.

My take
Would some random Tiger Woods hate make it more appealing, Terry? Did that one opinion totally taint everything else?
It is a question of accountability and entitlement. More than anything else this past weekend’s game should’ve brought in more people because of the playoff atmosphere. It is one thing to have a sub .500 team pulling bad numbers but a team in the playoff hunt pulling <40,000 is a story and worthy of attention. In the throes of the revenue sharing and LA prepping for a team, it is obvious that this city either does not care about the team or doesn’t believe it will move. Economics aside this city is more than able to put more people in the seats. I may be wrong but I believe the more attention the more real it gets.
Early reports were bad team no attendance, so yes it would be new and different.
The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, but in rising again after you fall.

If you watched MNF last night,
The announcers mentioned the Jaguars (at a non-Jaguars game), which normally would be incredible. But aside from giving us some love and respect, it went hand-in-hand with mentioning no one has seen us play and blah blah attendance issues. Being good enough to warrant mention on ESPN but still being unable to sell out the stadium? That IS new, and that IS news. It’s the new reality, and ignoring it won’t make it go away.

He Also Said
That Jack has the Jags playing hard, and has something going with such a young roster. Good things…

Yep, and I wish he'd stopped there
They seriously said so many good things, but the point is that good unfortunately has to mentioned with the bad. Or at least that’s how everyone outside Jacksonville sees it.

Must be more than that. Saying what he said up there was such a prick move.

Quentin played awesome!
That was the biggest thing I saw from section 119. Groves was playing like a man possessed compared to his normal performances. It seemed like he was in the mix on every play. Great article man!
Coach Crennel, if all of your Coors Lights can talk what happens when you open your fridge? There's generally "Hoopla" involved.

Upon your recommendation
I’ve watched the 1st disk of the 1st season of Fringe. I like it. Good call.
Attendance should begin to improve. I hope. I can’t understand why it wouldn’t…or hasn’t.
I’ve bought a 2nd ticket to the Indy game, maybe that will help (sarcasm?). At the beginning of the year my entire row was empty, except for me. It’s gradually gotten better.
Winning at home should help build some momentum for next year. If the Jags do not draft Tebow, I hope they will draft someone the city can embrace. That seems to be the missing ingredient. I love the entire team, we need at least one pick that will inspire that emotion in the rest of our city.
Go Jags!!!
Vae Victis!

They need to embrace
MJD, David, MSW…
Maybe Harvey can end the season with 3-4 more sacks and Nelson can make a couple picks, or at least not blow any coverage, and that will satisfy the Gators fans.

Need indeed
But have not. You tell me the solution. What will it take to make Jax fall in love with this team?

A natural disaster (Saints) or Incredible football at a sustained level (patriots)
maybe something in between
