Colts Vs. Jaguars Final: It's over. Maurice Jones-Drew leads Jags to 19-13 win.

by Adam Stites on Jan 1, 2012 4:33 PM EST in Jacksonville Jaguars Post Game

Finally the 2011 Jaguars disaster of a season is over and it ended the right way, with Maurice Jones-Drew having a huge day and the Jaguars beating the Colts. While the Jaguars win gave the Colts the first overall pick, it was only right for the Jaguars to send off the Weavers with a win on their last game of Jaguars ownership.

The story of the game was obviously Jones-Drew who stole the show with 25 carries for 169 yards. It was more than enough to secure the 2011 NFL rushing title and made him the 34th different player in NFL history to rush for more than 1,600 yards in a season. It was also enough to make him the franchise record holder for rushing yards in a single-season.

The offseason has officially begun for the Jaguars and it will likely focus on improving one of the league's worst offenses, but the Jaguars can rest assured that they have a running back of potential Hall of Fame caliber to build around.

Great Win!!! 2012 has started off good so far!

by Kamarr on Jan 1, 2012 5:04 PM EST via mobile reply actions

Awesome win

This was the only game I could attend this year but it turned out to be a great one. MJD wins the rushing title in style, the Weavers get honored at halftime, and the Jags end the season and start the new year with a win. It couldn’t get an better.

What a great way for MJD to end the season

And Mincey…BEAST! Great game for him, also. Should be our #1 priority as far as re-signings go.

I don't want to jinx him but I think we are looking at a you know what caliber player.

I’m not going to say it.

MJD kicked some tail.
Mincey and the DTs did a great job generating pass rush this year in spite of injuries at DE.
Scobee is still the 2nd most reliable offensive player we have.

It’s nice to go out on a win.

@Sylvester

I found the guy who’s draft videos I watched last year. His name is Aaron Aloysius and he’s doing it again this year. He just got a new youtube channel. Two actually: BrownsorBust and MetaDraft.

Time to start doing some research.

What was Poz’s injury? Obviously a should or arm, but it didn’t look good. he looked to be in some serious pain when he walked off the field.

who by the way was 6 of 22 for 60 yds and 1 int. 27% completion percentage for this game so go troll somewhere else.

they're going despite of him not because of him.

Not really neccessary to tear him down

when hes accomplished a hell of a lot more then we did this season…

by jstnblke41 on Jan 1, 2012 8:18 PM EST up reply actions

he parlayed an opportunistic defense and field goal kicker into the playoffs

I like Gabbert

but he and the receiving corps couldn’t lead our defense and kicker to more than 5 wins…

by CheapSeat on Jan 1, 2012 9:56 PM EST up reply actions

you see the defenses we played and the ones Denver played?

I would say Tim was a game manager, but that’s an insult to game managers.

How?

He passed for a piss-poor 90 measly yards. Not exactly the performance we needed from him to quiet some of the many valid concerns with his play

by Slawsc on Jan 1, 2012 7:37 PM EST via mobile up reply actions 1 recs

and tim passed for a messily 60 yds with an int and lost fumble

by leopold332002 on Jan 1, 2012 7:49 PM EST up reply actions

plus gabberts concerns is more so his inadequacy of his receivers than his in abitilty to developed IMO

by leopold332002 on Jan 1, 2012 7:51 PM EST up reply actions

so he only passed for 90 yards because of the receivers?

I thought it was because he’s a terrible quarterback. Guess that’s just a coincidence.

What does tebow have to do with this?

by Slawsc on Jan 1, 2012 8:37 PM EST via mobile up reply actions

because he has bad games and people make excuses for him

but gabbert didn’t meet expectations despites the circustances around him and already our own intelligent fanbase want to throw him to the wolves. Ridicious and bias
way of thinking if you ask me.

nothing.

If we are going to start measuring Gabbert’s performances to Tebow’s, then we have really low expectations for our QB. Can we pick a higher bar, please?

by whaley on Jan 2, 2012 7:17 AM EST up reply actions

He didn’t even throw the ball 20 times. They clearly just planned to run the ball.

Guy is awful

19 pass attempts and he only has 92 yards, ridiculous

by Sylvester.The.Jaguar.fan on Jan 1, 2012 8:25 PM EST up reply actions 1 recs

maybe it was his receivers was awful or the playcalling not necessary his ability to throw passes.

by leopold332002 on Jan 1, 2012 8:37 PM EST up reply actions

Nope, nope, nope, never

Brady doesn’t have great WRs and he threw for almost 5,000 yards this year.

(Oh and that post was sarcastic, just like this one..lol)

You guys think he makes the same leap Cam did into the top spot for the Colts???

What does it matter? Where would luck go if not Indy?

by Slawsc on Jan 1, 2012 8:38 PM EST via mobile up reply actions

While that win is fine

regretting it starts today with the drop in draft order and will continue for four months.

The media hype machine is in a Colts frenzy already: Peyton Manning this, Andrew Luck that, 4 first rounders trade …

Get used to it. Four more months.

What could of happened; did.

by Mullayo on Jan 1, 2012 11:02 PM EST reply actions

why regret?

How many spots did we drop? 4 or 5? is there really going to be that much difference in talent available? (answer: probably not)

I’d rather take the win. This team is full of guys who want to win, even if the results don’t say as much. They busted their ass yesterday. I’ll pay my money to watch that any day, win or loss.

by whaley on Jan 2, 2012 7:21 AM EST up reply actions

I'm going to hate

Watching Luck develop into an NFL qb, using our dbs as practice dummies over the next 10 years….but dammit, I’m proud of my team for going out and winning today. Gonna go buy a bunch on Jaguar crap online, and look into re-upping 2012 season tix. Before the Colts game, I was all for us throwing the game to keep Luck out the division, but I was wrong. Feels great to get a “Dub”, no matter the circumstances.
