Jacksonville Jaguars defeat Denver Broncos 24-17

In what was considered the most important season opener in franchise history, the Jaguars gave the fans all they wanted and then some.
The majority of the pregame coverage ended up being focused on a player who came in for all of 3 plays. Tim Tebow ran the ball twice for a grand total of 2 yards, and was used as a decoy wide receiver on another play. He may one day become a NFL QB, but for this season it seems he's going to be a glorified back up fullback.
On the other hand, the actual starting quarterbacks gave the fans a show to remember. David Garrard finished the game 16/21 for 170 yards and 3 touchdowns, while Kyle Orton went 21/33 for 295 yards and a touchdown. For David Garrard, the game proved to be a showcase for his positive traits. He was quick and efficient with the ball, managing the team well.
The two offensive stars of training camp continued to shine today as well. Marcedes Lewis hauled in two touchdown passes on the day. Mike Thomas was the Jaguars leading receiver with 6 receptions for 89 yards. On the other hand, it was quite disappointing to see Mike Sims-Walker vanish. After harping on consistency issues during the offseason, this isn't the way you want your budding #1 WR to start the year off.
On the defensive side of the ball, Gene Smith has to be smiling with the results of the defensive line. Tyson Alualu and Aaron Kampman combined for 2.5 sacks on the day. Kampman in particular was extremely impressive, constantly getting into the Denver backfield and pressuring Kyle Orton.
Daryl Smith's game clinching interception highlighted what was a pretty solid day by the Jaguars linebacking corp.
The big concern after today has to be the secondary, particularly 2nd year corner Derek Cox. Cox was picked on all day by the Broncos to the point that he was replaced by recently acquired David Jones late in the game. Much of Cox's poor performance in the preseason was brushed off as the result of an apparent injury, but now it appears to be something more than that.
What isn't an issue is the Jaguars special teams. It seems that no matter who the team has returning kicks, the team is going to start off past the 30 yard line after kick offs. In addition, Josh Scobee hopefully cleared the last of the yips from his system after making a tough field goal in a swirling wind to give the Jags a 17-14 lead. Also, a tip of the cap to Kassim Osgood. Osgood not only showed his special teams prowess with a beautiful save at the goal line to pin Denver deep, but caught the game winning touchdown as well.
Speaking of Osgood's touchdown, what exactly was "excessive" about his celebration?
However, almost none of the positives would've been possible without help from the Broncos. Troy Buckhalter's fumble in the first quarter, and the 2 face mask calls on the Jags TD drive more than aided Jacksonville.
The collective angst the city of Jacksonville had been feeling towards this game seemingly came in the form of scorching temperatures. Prior to the downpour that defined the 4th quarter, temperatures topped out at 92 degrees, with a heat index of over 102. Then at the end of the third quarter, the weather promptly shifted to almost monsoon like conditions. Following a 33 minute lightning delay, the rest of the game was played in varying degrees of rain.

Secondary and that 4&1 was ugly today
I think David Jones has a serious shot to start against the Chargers.
Other then that; I liked everything from this team. Garrard; Thomas; Lewis; Kampman; Tyson; Knighton- WOW
Underwood kicked some ass; and Karim and McGee not even appeared yet. This ST unit will kick serious butt this year!!!!

I don't know where
all the hate for Rashean was coming from. I know he held out of VOLUNTARY ota’s and he’s been hurt, but he IS underpaid and he IS underrated.
Thanks for correcting me
My crystal ball is not working at the moment.
You can't reason with unreasonable people.
And a correction for Jonathan
the Broncos guy that fumbled was Correll not Troy Buckhalter. Maybe you were thinking about Troy’s fumble last year.
Yes
Mathis made some solid tackles, and looked good out there.

+1
Just needed to execute better. The worst that would’ve happened as a result of that call was a tie and we’d end up with the ball. The best, we could have tired out their team and taken away their will.
yeah
just need to execute that better. They were wearing down. We convert that one and a long drive could’ve ended the game earlier.
DG is the best we have and help is not on the way. I realize he's not perfect, but I feel a lot better about him at QB than I do the O-Line, DB's and LB's ability to cover a TE.
I mean I am happy with the result, but I feel the Jags could have been even more impressive
I mean I do not care what anyone says but allowing Denver to tie it up with 50 seconds left in the half- that is just inexcusable!!
That Hurt
We had so much momentum going in to the half but just couldn’t hold up for another minute.

thats why Cox was benched.......

Jones will start over Cox.
No way we go to San Diego with Cox starting.
I honestly think Cox would be a better safety than a corner.
That would be an interesting experiment

Del Rio mentioned that he thought the problem was Cox's confidence
What better way to help him regain his confidence than…benching him?
Best thing to do is continue to work with him and try to help him get back to the form he showed last year.

How about they teach him to play football instead
He played way off the WRs way too much. His tackling was poor to say the least… he looked awful out there. He got blown by, juked, stiff armed to the ground, he was falling down over his own shoes. Almost all of Denver’s passing yardage was on Cox. I hope he has a real short memory. Like he forgets Sunday ever happened. He didn’t just not play good, he was a liability out there. I don’t think his career is over, but he is sophomore slumping FOR REAL. If he’s injured, sit him and let him heal. If he’s not bench him and play the better player until he gets his head right…. and his feet…. and his arms…. and his technique….
WTF IS THE INTERNET?!?
I agree they have to just keep working him
I don’t think the benching was a bad thing though. Whether it was his confidence or something else he just wasn’t playing well and the Jags were trying to win the game. He can get to work this week to get better and get after it again next Sunday. Hes a pro, he will get over it and hopefully get better from it.
D. Cox
One of the most important traits of being a pro football player is to have a short memory. Coaches say this all the time. Regardless of the position you play, whether you win or lose the game, or win or lose the play. Cox got toasted on quite a few plays, but the sting of his disappointing start will surely be his motivation to perform better. He can do it, i have no doubt in that, it’s just a matter of executing it on the field when the lights are on.

A win is a win is a win
Now I would think very carefully about putting Jones in for Cox at the LCB spot. Sometimes a benching is just what a young kid needs as motivation.

I say David
The scrutiny today was on him and Alualu because of the draft choices Gene made. Both lived up to the challenge.
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!
by DownTownJax on Sep 12, 2010 7:17 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
I went with Kampman
Without his signing and production we would have no pass rush still. Alualu is showing what we expected him to show, but he’s still a rookie and getting double teamed quite a bit. We NEED that outside pass rush and we got it today in a big way from Kampman. He was in the backfield all day and even when he didn’t get a sack, he knocked Orton around.
WTF IS THE INTERNET?!?
Pretty happy with what I saw
Garrard was impressive, along with MJD, Thomas, Lewis, and even Osgood on his touchdown catch. Defensively, Green Bay should regret letting Kampman leave, he was a dominating player the Jags haven’t had in a while on the d-line. Also nice to see Alualu get a sack in his first game, and Mathis was pretty solid in coverage.
I did not like the play call on 4th down, Garrard should have kept it. Good thing the lack of time outs did not come back to haunt the Jags, too. I really hope Cox improves, otherwise he’ll look like a very bad pick by Gene.
You can't reason with unreasonable people.
Cohen said he touched it
the ball was off target and the ball fluttered on a day when Orton was sharp. I think it’s safe to say the ball was tipped.
2nd flag...and a few thoughts about the game.
I thought the second flag we could have called a ‘mulligan’ on, lol. Very happy to see Osgood get a TD catch, but his route running definately needs work. And if you saw the replay of the route on his TD catch, you will know what I mean. Cox is the easy choice as the guy to point the finger at as the struggling guy, but I also am uneasy with Mike Sims-Walker’s limited contribution to our win. I really like the guy, but on the other hand, Champ Bailey is a future Hall of Fame shutdown corner. So I’m not mad at MSW. Seeing Kampman cause havoc in the Denver backfield was an angelic sight for any Jaguar fan. Seeing a Jaguar line actually collapse a pocket (did you see Potroast shooting the gap?! – wow).
I am not surprised by Garrard’s performance. I’ve known all along that he is a serviceable nfl qb, who can get you 11-12 wins in a good team situation. And I am very excited about our special teams. Underwood looked great, and i hope we can get him more catches in the slot.
Definately glad we picked up David Jones from Bengals. He played an invaluable role as a efficient stop-gap when our promising young starter in Cox struggled early. The job Jones did filling in wont make the sports highlights, but I truly appreciate his job in helping the bleeding stop a little bit in our secondary.

The celebration penalty
was unfortunate but by rule, going to the ground is excessive. You even saw MJD run over and try to get him up.
DG is the best we have and help is not on the way. I realize he's not perfect, but I feel a lot better about him at QB than I do the O-Line, DB's and LB's ability to cover a TE.
Damn, he can't even flop around like a fish if he wanted to?

"Milk the Cash Cow, Baby"
There is a caveat
to the rule. if you are praying it is okay to go to a knee. Which is what I thought he was doing.
I didn't know about that caveat.
and that’s what I thought he was doing as well.
DG is the best we have and help is not on the way. I realize he's not perfect, but I feel a lot better about him at QB than I do the O-Line, DB's and LB's ability to cover a TE.
Which is why
I was soo upset when it was called. I would have gone ape crazy if we lost that game due to that change of field position.
I'm giving the game ball to Garrard
Managed the game like he is expected to do. Line gave him time to make plays and his receivers caught the balls when they were needed. Yes it was great to see Kampan get pressure and Lewis get the TDs, but that microscope DG lives under puts a lot of heat on him and he stepped up.
Congrats David.
The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, but in rising again after you fall.
Vince Lombardi
My personal blog:
I voted for Kampman, because I hate Garrard.
No, really I voted for Kampman because he was unstoppable and that was something missed all last year. What knee injury?
I think
it’s more the system than Alualu/Knighton reinvigorating Kampman. Our system is what he prefers and is best suited for. I’m sure knowing that he’s playing in a scheme best suited for his play style has energized him. Not saying Island Roast didn’t contribute to his resurgence, but I just feel that comfort with our scheme probably helped more in this case. Either way, I voted Kampman for giving us something that we haven’t seen in years.
How about Special teams getting the game ball?
Looking back, Denver basically held the advantage in total yards and we didn’t have a huge advantage in rushing. Special teams made a long field for Denver and a much shorter one for us. If we swapped special teams play, I think we would have lost.
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!
by DownTownJax on Sep 12, 2010 9:40 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Who knows
if Garrard would have just thrown it further. Maybe the longer drives would have killed their D even more. Can’t do that if/but game.
Good points
but I think Special Teams should at least be an option, considering how well it performed, and how crucial it was to field position.
Why not?
That’s what we do! Discuss what units performed well and which ones didn’t. We had no turnovers to Denver’s two, we lost the battle of total yards, and won the battle of special teams. It is easy to see what won the game for us.

Solid win for the Jags...
I don’t think the Jags will be benching Cox…some of those catches were crazy (like the catch when half the guys body was out of bounds) or the PI call when clearly the pass was tipped and throw behind the WR by 5 yards…take away those Zebra calls and it’s not that bad…not good, but not the worst ever…I’m not giving up on him after WEEK 1

The thing is
I think Derek has a good match up in San Diego. He’s got to face taller less agile WR’s which should he bread and butter being that he’s is tall and lanky.

David Garrard’s 138.9 passer rating was his highest ever. previous high was 136.4 in 2006 against the Dolphins.

This game was fun if nothing else!
Mike Thomas proved he could be a great #2 receiver by outshining MSW, Marcedes was making big plays, and the lines both played well enough to win. I loved hearing the crowd cheer as the rain came. I felt like we were unstoppable at that moment.

I loved it
Even McDaniels realized early that he wasn’t going to have a positive effect and he never saw the field again.
DG is the best we have and help is not on the way. I realize he's not perfect, but I feel a lot better about him at QB than I do the O-Line, DB's and LB's ability to cover a TE.
Something must be wrong with him
I didn’t see him trying to “inspire” his teammates on the sidelines.
You can't reason with unreasonable people.
Let's stop with
the Tebow jabs. He’s a good character guy that doesn’t deserve the criticism he is getting.
I'd think they're directed
more at the Tebow fanboys than Tebow himself.

Tim Tebow!! He’ll be back in Jax in a couple years pumping gas at Shell. Wait and see.
by richboy on Sep 12, 2010 10:58 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Woah, talk about getting personal
The Tebow Cult annoys the living crap out of me, but I have no problem with the guy. He’s never done anything to me, and most likely hasn’t done anything to you, so why the hate? Bash the crazies that fawn over the guy, but don’t make an hateful personal attack on a kid fresh out of college. Besides, it’s not like his family’s short on money, and he’ll be snipping foreskins somewhere far, far away before he’s pumping gas at a Shell. This doesn’t apply to just Tebow, but to anyone who is unfairly attacked. Would it be appropriate for someone to say, “Screw Matt Schaub!! He’ll be a quadriplegic in a couple years because he’s fragile as shit. Wait and see.”?
He's not getting personal
He’s just saying there is no reason to tiptoe around criticizing because he’s a “good guy”. He’s a grown man and our team’s opponent. He gets paid well, and we owe him nothing. He doesn’t need people defending him here. Maybe if this was the Broncos site, but this isn’t. We are Jaguars, not Tebow apologists and defenders!
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!
by DownTownJax on Sep 13, 2010 8:38 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
What he said is the definition of getting personal because it wasn’t football related criticism. Criticism would be, “Tebow can’t throw, and obviously can’t run either”. Declaring that he’ll be “pumping gas at Shell” is simply a personal attack. It’s simply irrelevant and doesn’t provide any criticism. Like I said, I’m no Tebow apologist, but making a comment just to show hate for someone has no place in a discussion.
It isn't real hate
It is a reaction to people constantly saying that we have to show respect. It is an over the top counter reaction to the limits people are trying to put on the discussion. Don’t take it so literally.
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!
by DownTownJax on Sep 13, 2010 8:28 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
I see the bashing of an innocent person as hate, because it’s not his fault that he has a small vocal minority of lunatic fans. This applies to anyone, not just Tim Tebow. I know it’s wishful thinking to expect everyone to be reasonable in their reactions, but I can try to point out where they’re losing objectivity.
If the secondary can be fixed, I think we have ourselves a football team!

That was an awesome game, thrilling. As everyone else i was happy watching whole team except for Cox and MSW. Im not ready to give up on Derek just yet, but he is having bad moments for a while now since the start of the camps.
I gave the game ball to Kampman, i was expecting a lot from him and he was more than i could expect. Garrard had an awesome game along with the OL, that was good to see.

while I agree there were many standouts
I think Mike Thomas is performance is flying under the radar a bit – 6 receptions, on 7 targets, for 89 yards is a great first game as a starter.

Ridiculous.
During any home game at Wisconsin, Bucky does some type of skit involving the opposing mascot to fire up the student section. Tebow fans such as this really should all be shipped to their own island.
So True
There were 4 in a row in front of me. They left before halftime. There were a lot of fair-weather fans that aren’t all that into football. They might have bought a few tickets, but I’m glad the future of the jags is not depending on them.

Lol.
Why do fanboy/girls have such fragile psyche? I fail to understand how people can get so emotionally invested in something so insignificant. Not only that, it seems the top prerequisite for fanboism is the complete lack of a sense of humor. I’m a Florida fan, and I want to see Tebow do well, but man, the amount of butthurt I’m seeing is disappointing. These crazies bring shame to any school’s fanbase.
Don't forget...
The Jags had two take aways and 3 sacks…that’s outstanding…he may get alot it int’s this year…I think the Jags held the Broncos to under 100 yards rushing…the D will get better…

Naw
I hated the call, but it was right. He was on his way down when he lost the ball. I wish they did give him the catch though. He was on my fantasy team.
HE WAS ALREADY DOWN
THIS WAS HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
also real classy of bears fans flipping off the lions as they left.
It's like a catch in baseball
you can catch the ball run 200 miles in circles but if you drop it accidentally on the way to the dugout it’s still not a catch. So if he’s on his way down and rolls 10 times and spins and takes 10 steps on his way down it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t, according to the referee’s opinion, voluntarily “drop” the ball.
That crap belongs in golf or baseball
Time for a rule change.

Check this out:
From Vic’s post game article:
How well did Garrard play? I’ll tell you how well he played. He played so well that his arch-critic, "CBS Sportsline" writer Pete Prisco, approached a crusty, old hack in the press box to say, "The quarterback played well today."

One more quote from
Our “friend” Don “i don’t know anything about Jacksonville” Banks
• Pretty efficient day for a quarterback who hasn’t always been so accurate, Jacksonville’s David Garrard. The Jags’ somewhat embattled starter was a cool 16 of 21 for 170 yards and three touchdown passes in the 21-17 home-opening win over Denver.
So, who needs Tim Tebow in Jacksonville?

But he does suck
He isn’t good. And he is a visiting player. So as a fan, you tell him he sucks to make sure he knows it. Football is a game of emotion, physicality and brutal violence. Jaguars fans in this town need more passion against the other teams, their players and against the people who rail against them for not taking those players. My section booed every single Broncos fan and gators fan that walked up the steps. We called them out one by one and booed them for coming into our house with that nonsense on.
At tailgaters, there was a guy in a Tebow jersey walking down the street. A large group of fans booed him extremely loudly as he walked by. He in turn gives them all the one finger salute. That in turn inspired WE ARE…. JAGUARS chants. It was AWESOME.
That isn’t about class. That is about pride, passion and keeping your house in order. You want to be classy, stay in the country club. This is football.
WTF IS THE INTERNET?!?
Not a personal attack on you Ewdtrey
Just making it known man… this isn’t golf and we need MORE of that passion, not less of it. Wine and cheese crowds don’t really belong in football.
WTF IS THE INTERNET?!?
+1
But things must be done within reason. Jags fans are a crop above the rest. Lets make sure our actions line up with this.

I agree with that
I just probably disagree with some’s parameters of “within reason”. I think we have to be aware of our surroundings and not curse everybody out in front of other peoples’ children, we shouldn’t be throwing people over the ledge, we shouldn’t be purposefully vomiting on people… but when it comes to the other team, when it comes to bringing the noise, that’s part of the game day experience.
WTF IS THE INTERNET?!?
I am all for passion, but don't put yourself in the ridiculous "we must protect this house" crowd that Vic is always ragging on.
Vic has a point. You’re not playing the game; the players are. The crowd is just there to enjoy a game.

Vic is also a press box guy
He likes to sit and watch from on high. The NFL encourages, players/coaches/organizations ask for, fans take pride in being a part of the game. An asset or weapon of the home team. I agree you shouldn’t take things too far (ie: Philly fan) but come on. Don’t come to an NFL game and expect to sit down the whole time. Don’t come to an NFL game and expect to see hand shakes and not to hear name calling or see people get upset about the actions or media hype of the opposition. Don’t think for a second that you are coming to EverBank Field in an opposing jersey that you won’t hear about it. Don’t think you will be cheering for the opposing jersey and not hear about it. Ridiculousness is needing to be arrested. Passion is making sure that other team knows where they are. Passion is being in the game.
Vic can say “You’re not playing the game.” but Vic is also the guy asking for passionate fans and fan bases and gave a kudos for the crowd noise at the game. I disagree with you whole heartedly that I pay for season tickets to just be there and enjoy the game. I pay for tickets to be a part of the action. To feel the game, to be a part of the noise and support for the team, to let other fans know that they have to respect coming into Jacksonville.
WTF IS THE INTERNET?!?
"We must protect this house"
is a cliche from a commercial. We will keep our house in order and represent our team and our town is a cultural system of honor and pride.
WTF IS THE INTERNET?!?
FEELS SOOOO GOOOD

I enjoyed the spreading it around, i think its the 1st time in 2 years the backup had more then 5 carries, i personally am wondering maybe MSW was planned against and they used that to their advantage but Lewis with 2TDs! i honeslty think underwood could be the returner anytime hes needed it surpised me that he had so much gumption i guess? seriosuly a fill-in returner has three returns more then 30 yards!

I could
See Deji standing on the sidelines right after that return and was thinking the same thing. I’m sure he was as well

Game ball
While Garrard had a career day and Lewis had two TDs, Kampman’s overall presence raised the level of the defense as a whole. I think his leadership helped the Jags tremendously. I’d hand out a lot of game balls. Osgood deserves one too for all his contributions
I agree
I haven’t seen a Jaguar lineman dominate like that in a while.
You can't reason with unreasonable people.
I think the forgotten men were
Sean Considine, who got his hand on like 4 passes and a fumble recovery as well as 6 tackles to lead the team; and Daryl Smith who forced a fumbled, got the game clinching int and was second on the team with 5 tackles.
considine left a bad taste in my mouth i think he was suppose to be there on that long pass at the end of the half he was to slow to get to the WR before the ball got there..

That was
Cover three, all on Cox

Yes that play
That play right before the end of the half left a bad taste in a lot of Jaguar fans’ mouths. Watching the game live, i have to admit, my anger darted the the next closest Jag jersey in the area at the catch, which was Cox’s. After reading you guys’ posts and reviewing the play, I can now see where Considine could have given more safety help over the top. But yes, on the cover 3, that’s Cox’s assignment.

The Good Bad and the Ugly
This was a good game. Overall game ball goes to David. He managed the game with no BS kept the mistakes down to a minimal and made the plays when it counts. Second game ball goes to special teams which will be even more electrifying with McGee and Karim with the game (If the do well then the Colts. The D-line and the O-line are not too far behind.
The Bad.
the 4th down call. Del Rio rolled the dice and just about lost. BUT the call wasn’t all his fault it was half his fault and half the lack of execution
The Ugly
Derrick Cox. He is definitely in his sophomore slump. Seams like he is playing hurt because you can see the pain in his face. Jones looks like a good trade.
all in all good job Jags, we continue to improve from week to week, black outs will be a thing of the past and the media will be eating some crow

Write-in Vote for Daryl Smith
Of the three in the poll I would vote for Kampman, not just for his pressure but also his leadership and how he seems to be personally impacting out defense. But IMO the game ball goes to Daryl Smith … lead the team in tackles (as he always seems to do), forced the fumble that Considine recovered and picked off the pass to close out the game. He is so quiet and under the radar, but he is a beast on D and now that he’s back playing where he belongs will have an all-pro season.
Once again... the silent assassin
D Smith is money. Quietly doin the work and fitting that he is the one who made the interception at the end of the game. Still no one talks about who made that pick really. Nothing but respect for that guy and what he brings week in and week out.
WTF IS THE INTERNET?!?
Small correction
Considine lead the team in tackles. I can’t argue that Smith might’ve deserved the game ball though.
