Post news as it happens here

 

[Andy Hicks]

This will be pinned once play begins

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Harrington is leading this team to a minimum of 10 losses.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Fred Taylor with about a 30 yard run

 

[whhwalker]

Game is blacked out locally. I wonder if they'll rename the team when they move to LA in 2010.

 

[JZilla]

If an NFL game is played and nobody watches it, do the fantasy stats still count?

I don't know about NFL but definitely not in MLB as only 400, yes FOUR HUNDRED fans showed up at a Marlins/Nationals game last week.

 

[Debeucci]

Can't watch game. Anybody know why Norwood has 5 carries to Dunn's 1?

 

[Andy Hicks]

Henderson to the locker room for the Jags

Reggie Williams with a catch

 

[Krewe]

End of 1st q..

Garrard sharp..5/5/80+ 0/0

No score in Jax

 

[the spanker]

Where the hell is MJD????

 

[Krewe]

Carney FG as drive stall 3-zip

No MJD at all

I hope so. Any team/city that can't sell out an NFL game doesn't deserve a team. This is an embarrassment. Not surprised though.

Sidetrack here a little but why is that? I'll take a wild guess and say it's because most people that live here aren't from here originally.

 

[BusterTBronco]

Where the hell is MJD????

I'm convinced that the Jacksonville coaching staff has gone brain dead. MJD has one touch in almost a quarter and half here.

 

[fflnut]

Wow, more Fred action. I'm starting to well up over here about MJD.

 

[shakeybarn]

Wow. Shocked. I STRONGLY recommended to two friends to start Fred Taylor (given rough roster choices...) thinking both MJD and Fred would just have a field day in the second half as it would already be 28-3. Guess I'm right on 3 wrong counts.

That's my concern, too. MJD went off last year with limited touches. Now, this year he is getting LESS touches. It makes no sense to me either. This situation is furthering my belief that Del Rio is as fickle as Shanahan and quickly becoming as much of a fantasy player killer.

 

[Gopher State]

Fred Taylor is looking like the steal of FF drafts this year.

 

[Krewe]

lots of empty seats in Jax as ATL makes this late 1st half drive

 

[Anonymous Internet User]

i think the jax o-line is having some real issues.

 

[Krewe]

Dunn with a nice cutback left to score on 3/1 from the Jax 5

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

pitiful.

 

[whhwalker]

No mention of MJD on Jaguars gameday Blog, and nothing mentioned during the pre-game. Strange.

 

[Krewe]

MJD had a nine yard run--then gets buried next play...it's been a very odd use of this guy.

 

[Marino13]

2 carries, no receptions? No touches? What's up? Injured?

 

[Krewe]

7-3 ATL half

This game is the dog expected to be....tough to watch.

 

[GreatAmericanFF]

Krewe,Does it look to you like MJD doesn't have the elusiveness he had last year or is it a combination of bad run blocking and not enough opportunities? Living in the mid-atlantic region, I never see any Jags games but the clips I saw of him last year were quite impressive. So, I am wondering if you have any thoughts based on what you've seen of the Jags games.

 

[Avery]

Backup?

 

[faux_bear]

Something is off with the Jax offense this season. Garrard is slinging the ball more than Leftwich, but they're not scoring points. Garrard is not checking down to his RB's the way Lefty did. I don't know what's going on, but as a MJD owner, I'm not happy.

 

[wynnwalk]

The Jaguars SUCK!

I am definitely regretting drafting MJD.

 

[the spanker]

What happened to MJD on punt returns??? I thought at least I could count on him for those yards!!

 

[Judge Smails]

MJD is the same. He is being used to block in passing situations and as a decoy. Coaches are absolute idots.

I think it's a combo of all three....def. the line has been a problem, he needs to get into SOME kind of rythym and that has been lacking...then when he gets the ball, the pop we saw last year is lacking.Garrard has looked ok, but this team can't finish drives and seems to be regressing. Coaching staff has to take the hit, for preparation--or lack of it, IMHO. Their third down conv, rate this season is simply abysmal

 

[Krewe]

Jax to start second half

Slant pass 9 yards

out pattern--6 yards

incomplete underneath 0 yards

pass to Northcutt-20 yards

Run--middle Taylor...no gain.

Bomb incomplete to Matt Jones

Garrard keeper 3/10 first down

Taylor loss of one

screen pass to MJD--loss on play--negated by holding call

pass to Jones incomplete--hit over the middle and drops ball--boobirds out

Pass underneath on 3/22 to Jones, short of first down drive stalls

4th and 6--lob pass to MJD, broken up---ball to ATL

9 passes, 3 runs...6 minutes...zero points

Sorry, this is not Jax football. Interesting play calling---one way to put it

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Matt Jones is such a wuss.

 

[gigantor]

Wow, and I thought the Browns were bad..

 

[BigRed]

Drew no catches wtf??

 

[Krewe]

Prater misses horribly on chip shot...total push to the right...might be a job opening there.

Ugly game.

 

[Krewe]

Drew no catches wtf??

He caught one earlier, negated by holding call--would have been a loss on the play anyhow

 

[Krewe]

MJD has first catch for ten yard, 6-16 rushing today..jax driving

 

[RBM]

Garrard to Reggie Williams, TD

 

[Krewe]

TD jags

Reggie Williams torches Lewis Sanders

amazingly 10-7 jags

 

[Chase Stuart]

The Jaguars have pretty good stats for a team averaging a point a quarter. What's going on? No turnovers, one sack, over 10 yards per pass attempt and decent rushing numbers. How haven't they put up 17 yet?

 

[flapgreen]

Gotta be tougher to get up for a game when no one comes to see the games.

 

[Chase Stuart]

Ok, see the Jags finally scored.

The O-line is horrible.

 

[BigRed]

Drew no catches wtf??

Thx - I guess it sounds like he isn't getting targets at all tho and that's my "wtf" - if the OL is that bad, the short passes outta the flat you'd think would be a good idea...

You would think.

I think when you see the official FBG target stats later, you will still be saying WTF
