A must needed win and over the hated Colts. Hats off to Fred/MJD.The recievers need to get healthy quick, Fred and MJD looked very tired after all the work they did. Matt Jones made some Key catches,and Mathis seemed to be beat all day and his INT was actually interference,but hey we will take it. The Jags showed the receipe for beating the Colts,,keep Peyton off the field,,we need to score TD's when we get into the red zone, oh 2 hats off for Scobee.
Yes, I did not like our defense one bit. Pass rush still can't get home and secondary was a little shaky. Also, not much of an advantage in special teams, which I thought would be a tipping point.
But props to Freddy and MJD, the O-line, Matt Jones for 4 very crucial grabs, and Scobee for being rock solid in the end.
Great game. An 0-3 start would have been a huge hole to climb out of. How long will Porter be out?
Any win in Indy is a good win. We have to win the next two weeks against Houston and Pittsburgh at home.
They still need to find a red zone and passing offense. Indys run defense is not exactly stout. The Jags cannot rely on 200+ yards rushing and a feeble passing game.
Great win - I knew they could do it. Even as I drove around the landing looking for a spot to catch it on the big screen, the radio said they had :40 to go the length of the field. As I made it inside the Landing someone yelled "Jags win"!
Houston, Pittsburgh and Denver are up next.
They need Porter back by Pittsburgh, Denver at the latest. Hopefully they can go 2-1 over these next three, and then face a weaker trio of Cincy, Clev and Detroit.

I hope the Jags wear the black jerseys for the Pittsburgh game.
I really thought the Jags had screwed the pooch by not throwing for the end zone on 3rd down late in the game and instead running for little gain and settling for a field goal and a 6 point lead with 2+ minutes to go. Luckily, we were able to drive down the field at the end of the game and get the long field goal to win. We may not always be so lucky. For now though, good game and Go Jags!
8 fricki'n seconds = cardiac team

I kinda like the "Cardiac Cats". Makes for some great football!
An enormous win in more than one way. Aside from saving our season, because an 0-3 start would have been devastating, we allowed ourselves right back into the AFC South mix. The other perspective as to this wins importance is the Houston game on Sunday. I hate to bring it up, but it is a reality and can't be ignored. If Jacksonville loses that game and is 0-3 going into the Houston game, the probabibility for a blackout is greatly enhanced. With that win, I feel that we will have no blackouts this year. The Houston game along with the Buffalo game were the two hardest to get sold to avoid blackouts and the remaining six feature great time slots and great teams that will sellout regardless.
Again, I hate to even mention it, but it is vital for the expectations this City had this year and the National media and perception to hear 0 blackouts coming from Jacksonville this year. Love the Jags or hate them, you cannot deny the good they do for the City by being one of 32 NFL franchises in the country. I'll be up in the nose bleeds (Section 414) on Sunday screaming my lungs out. Hope to see that place packed. Go Jags.
The Bills game was Televised right?

I think the television cameras melted at some point during the third quarter.
Heh, yeah it was televised. Was that the hottest game on record!?
I don't know if it was the hottest but it was up there. I seem to remember a game with Tennessee in 2001 that was hotter. It was the first game after 9/11.
BTW, anybody heard how many tix are left?
Go Jags!!!!!!!!! ;D :) 8)
We FINALLY won a game!!!!
I HATE the Reshean Mathis haters on sports radio!!!!! >:( >:( >:(
This guy is an ELITE cornerback in the NFL!!!!Anyone that dogs #27 is one of those college-minded yahoos that don't know crap about pro football!!!!!!!When the "great" CB's for SD, BAL, DEN etc get burned no one says anything, but let Reshean get burned one time, and he's the worst in the league!!!Note to stupid #27 haters........NFL CB's often get burned, esp. when they play man coverage. #27 haters can BYTE ME!!!!!!!!! >:(
He's getting talked about so that means he is respected. They can talk all the smack they want, but by just talking about him it is press ofr the team. Mathis usually shuts them all up when he snags the next INT. Don't sweat it. ;)
Don't know how many tix are left.
If you like him so much then at least spell his name right. Rashean is an excellent cornerback but he's still struggling to get back to the form he had in '06. Maybe he never will. I really don't know.
I will hate on Florence though. He needs to get his act together, especially with Scott Starks at less than 100%.

Mathis did seem to be beat more than once in that game and who cares about other CB I am only worried about the Jags. Pass defense is still an issue for this team as other issue but the Jags will rebound they never seem to be a fast starting team at the start of the season.

Starks is now out for the season...
I like Mathis. I don't think he gets beat more than most corners in the league. With the new rules, it's tough to play corner. Look at last week's Philly-Dallas game. Lito Sheppard and Terrence Newman were getting beat the whole game. Both are very solid corners.
