Jags had 4th and 13 from the 25 after Oakland declined a penalty. Then the refs said nevermind, Oakland accepted the penalty so it'll be 3rd and 23 from the 35.Then, Sapp says something as the ref walks by and he tosses a flag. Another couple players start arguing about that flag after it is announced and two more are thrown. The ref announces those, then in the background Sapp is still jawing at another ref and he gets another flag, and gets tossed.Jax ends up with the ball 1st and goal at the 2, where Garrard throws an INT.Okay we need a play by play here---what is happening?? 3 back to back 15 yard penalties??

We don't know what Sapp said to the ref, but given his repuation for running his mouth, it must have been pretty offensive to draw that many penalties.Pretty weak that you can get ejected for jawing at a ref.
Perhaps they are working on their goal line passing game for the playoffs. They seem to have this game in hand already, so why not work on some passing plays inside the 5? Teams they will play in the playoffs won't be as easy to run on at the goal line as the Raiders are.Playcalling has been questionable all year. Why does Del Rio insist on throwing the ball late in games/in the redzone when they have two sure handed pounders in their RB stable? One may be going to the Pro Bowl for Christs sake. Seriously though, what the hell is the reasoning for throwing on 1st and 2 when the defense is missing their centerpiece DT? This #### makes me furious and we've been dealing with this inefficiency for a few years now. I love Del Rio as a motivator but sometimes I hate him as a HC.
Well, I don't recall how many timeouts Jax had left but there were only 20 seconds left in the half.Seriously though, what the hell is the reasoning for throwing on 1st and 2 when the defense is missing their centerpiece DT?
1 TO left.Well, I don't recall how many timeouts Jax had left but there were only 20 seconds left in the half.Seriously though, what the hell is the reasoning for throwing on 1st and 2 when the defense is missing their centerpiece DT?
That was probably it then. I'd imagine they were saving the run and timeout for 2nd or 3rd down. If they run on 1st and burn the TO then a sack or player tackled in bounds after that ends the half.I'm sure they weren't counting on an INT from their QB that has thrown only 2 INTs all year.1 TO left.Well, I don't recall how many timeouts Jax had left but there were only 20 seconds left in the half.Seriously though, what the hell is the reasoning for throwing on 1st and 2 when the defense is missing their centerpiece DT?

Its not the first time they've done it. But I hope you are right. I guess what frustrated me the most was Garrard forcing the ball into 3x coverage. I hope he's not becoming too cocky.Perhaps they are working on their goal line passing game for the playoffs.

Seems that way from the stat line. Anyone watching this game who can enlighten?any other apparent changes with the starters? Looks like Taylor might of taken a seat for MJD?
They've been switching off series all game, it was MJD's turn. Although MJD is in for a 2nd series in a row now. Announcers are speculating that Taylor is done.Seems that way from the stat line.
