Let me throw out there that a 3 and out by our defense can really chill this game out.  But we have to stop the bleeding.  Right now.

I think the Live Blog may have been karmically connected to the Jaguars' Life-force. At least Podlesh got the punt away.

Time for defense to hit them in the mouth again...
they had them to a fourth and 12 last time.  I won't say it was a questionable call for the blitz... no wait I just did!  ;)

Jags are getting uppity
Time to take a chill pill, and make the plays.  You don't get Jawy after you're pushed around for 50 yards.
Jags Blogger for SB Nation Big Cat Country!

by River City Rage on Jan 5, 2008 10:52 PM EST reply actions  

5 point game.
Ok, Jack.  Remember that thing you do really well where you give the ball to Garrard and he almost instantly hands it to Fred Taylor or Jones-Drew?  I know, it's been awhile since you've used it, but I really think you should give it a try.  Cause you win if you have a higher score when the clock runs out, and running the clock means you're closer to winning.

kthanks..

Jags Blogger for SB Nation Big Cat Country!

by River City Rage on Jan 5, 2008 11:05 PM EST reply actions  

OK,
not time to panic.  The players need to play.  Garrard is the MAN.  They are only down by one now, and they have 6 minutes to run a long touchdown run, or make a field goal.  Running time would be good, because the defense is now worn out.
Go Colts!

how this team just melted in the crunch.  Jax is clearly missing something... and it isn't something they should be missing, with this type of team.

I think we're all cowering in disbelief - don't quite have your detachment from the situation, you know.

I suppose there is a lack of experience...
... but this is a team built on running and defence - precisely the kind of team that should be able to get a decent lead and just grind the life out of the game.
