Reggie Wayne is officially on my never-draft-again list. Five weeks in a row I fell for the 'never bench your studs' bull####.

 

[pizzatyme]

They'll get a 2 minute drill

Unless Big Bad Chad Simpson runs another one back!I can't tell you how bad the Jags KO coverage has to be to let that happen!!!!!

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

They'll get a 2 minute drill

= another 8-9 points for Manning.

 

[Native]

Crud.

 

[Routilla]

Did the defenses make it to the stadium?

 

[werdnoynek]

mini hercules for the win.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

TD MJD, but Jax got away with 2 OL pushing the pile forward. Easily could have been a 10-yd penalty.

I don't know that I've ever seen that called.

TD MJD, but Jax got away with 2 OL pushing the pile forward. Easily could have been a 10-yd penalty.

That happens on almost every short yardage play anymore 'cause its NEVER called. It's like getting caught with a joint in CA. Still illegal, but nobody really cares.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Now that we're all excited, watch him end up at 3-24.

thanks #######

Hope you can sleep easy now.

nope but appreciate the concern

 

[Ariakis]

Starting Wayne and MJD in one league and Wayne vs Manning+Stover in another so still kind of mixed feelings so far. The two MJD teams that fell in week 14 though I am not pleased with as he has been so hit or miss this year with monster games and a lot of coming up small. Let's have another 2 TD's in the 2nd half

Never seen it called myself either....

 

[bulger2holt]

reggie almost broke that one

 

[Ariakis]

Wayne sighting!

 

[Garts]

Is it just me or does Reggie Wayne go down often and try to avoid hits. He should have kept his balance there and he had a TD. I dont think he realized there was no one left there to beat.

 

[pizzatyme]

If he doesn't anticipate the hit he scores.

But it could have been......

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

How bout these defenses?!?!?!?

I wonder what the logic is of that even being a penalty..... never thought about it. Why CAN'T you allow an offense to push the ballcarrier?

 

[Ariakis]

Getting away from my fantasy interests for a moment, the Jags can't be thrilled with their defense .... 2 plays and the Colts are back in FG range and likely headed for another TD. Don't mind me if I root for it not to be a FG and either a Wayne TD or a running play from Addai

 

[Lascelle]

As an MJD and Clark owner, I'm loving this Thursday game.

Now just need Dallas to take it easy the rest of the way as I'm facing him in a league too.

 

[cubbie5150]

Wish Wayne would've scored...want MJD back on the field

 

[pizzatyme]

Sure he goes down easy, but how many games has he missed in his career? Plus, it sure worked for Harrison.

Actually had it called against my son's football team

 

[Ariakis]

A tough WR like Austin, Mason, or Ward score on that play. That's not Reggie Wayne's game I guess.

I'm sure there were some pretty good RB carrying wedges some 70 years ago that got that rule put in the books.

 

[Trey]

Hey did anyone here see the Dolphins-Colts game? If not, just pretend that the Jags are wearing a "tealer" shade of blue. It's happening again.

 

[Your Mom]

Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce always did the samething.

manning with the lazer like pass to collie.... if you blinked you missed it lol

these young receivers on the colts are growing up quick.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Let's see...

J..A..C..K..S..O..N..V..I.. L...L..E....

Yep, no "D".

I'm pretty sure EVERY WR and Dallas Clark was open on the Collie TD.

fair enough, but it's football, not badminton .

 

[Dought Man]

Man, teams still give safety help on Wayne. Middle of the field is wide open for Peyton the past 5-6 weeks. 1 or 2 of Collie/Garcon/Clark run wide open on every play.

 

[grapeape]

could be time for another MJD TD! (well, IF he was in the game. DOH)

I think I heard in an earlier game that it's only pulling a ball carrier forward that is illegal now.

 

[werdnoynek]

please be right. where is he? jennings in?

 

[Ariakis]

If you are the Jags would you have called time or kept them as they did? There's 35 seconds, 3 time outs, and the Jags have the ball on their own 40 already. Good call I guess.

 

[JuniorNB]

One of those guys don't belong. Should have said Welker, Mason, and Ward.

Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce always did the samething.

Yep. The smaller wide receivers always go out of their way to avoid big hits, even if it means going down a tad prematurely. It isn't worth getting an extra yard or two if your stud WR gets plastered and misses a lot of time. Plus, a small WR isn't gonna have a long career if he takes big hits like that all of the time. It is self-preservation, really.

 

[Young 8]

so Garrard already stopped to target MSW

nice......

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

Very impressive game by Peyton, so far.

 

[werdnoynek]

any idea why mjd wasnt out there that last possession before the half?

Not Andre Reed... Best RAC WR ever!

Taking hits as a WR for an extra 2 or 3 yards is a career-limiting move.

 

[Ariakis]

Not thrilled he wasn't out there for the last drive and that he's returning some kicks but if it means more 2nd half carries so be it.

 

[Michael Fox Fan]

Garrard, for whatever reason, doesn't impress me in the least.

 

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

was that like the fastest qtr of football ever?

playing like golfers trying to beat the rain.

 

[cubbie5150]

The "braintrust" of Jax has done that quite a bit this year...towards the end of halfs, in obvious passing situations, Jennings has been in to block. I think it's stupid to take your best weapon off the field, but whatever
