At last, some meat on the MNF plate (1 Viewer)

[Buck Bradcanon]

Early December of last year Jax handed Indy their shorts 44-17, including 375 yards on the ground. Box score: http://www.usatoday.com/sports/scores106/1...4/NFL702334.htm

Indy's run D has improved since then (B Sanders anyone?) and Jax running game has regressed somewhat from what they were putting up last year. I wasn’t entirely sold on Indy until they dismantled a fairly decent TB team with several of their parts missing. I hope they are all back to full health for this game.

Divisional game on the road on MNF against a team that handed it to them last year and has played them very tough for a long time.

Thoughts?

Any Jax homers want to chime in and post how you feel about the state of the QB situation?

Are you happy with Garrard?

Indy's D is miles better than the last time they played Jax. Jax has no passing game to speak of.

I think Indy wins, easily

Except for that 44-17 debacle, every Jax/Ind game has been close since the AFC South began. I don't expect anything different on Monday.

Who would sleep on Jacksonville? I am sure that anyone who follows the sport knows that the Colts/Jags games are almost always close, regardless of where the game is. Last December's game was a rare blowout.

I think Indy makes a statement game of their own in this one, and dismantles a team that has played them very very tough in recent times.

Week 1 from the Titans was clearly a fluke against Jacksonville's run defense. They suffocate the run now. Unfortunately, they will give up plays through the air. That's not a good thing when you're going up against the Colts.

The Jags are a decent team. I think they'll be able to keep it close but I can't see them winning.

24-10 Indy.

Jax is turning out to be a scary match-up for anyone.

Sleeping on them is no longer an option.

There hasn't been much to dislike about how Garrard has played. I still hate the timing of the decision to go with Garrard, but I have been impressed with how things are coming along. The offense seems to be gelling more than in the first game.I'm obviously excited for Monday nights game. I think it will be a good game. I am worried, however, about getting pressure on Manning. The DE's haven't gotten much done, as far a getting to the QB. They'll need to apply more pressure in order for Manning not to pick the D apart.

you gotta be kidding me? Indy's D might be better, but I think it hard to reproduce those numbers vs anyone, let alone Indy. MoJo has been hot recently and Taylor still can run, not to mention Garrard.Yeah, their passing D isn't all that, but their wr's are serviceable and better than teams like ATL, TEN, MIA, MIN, etc as a whole.Apparently Vegas agrees since Indy is only 3 pt favorites.Its a divisional game, Jax always plays them tough (they always play PIT tough too). This one will be a dandy
