W7 Game Thread - Jacksonville V Houston (1 Viewer)

Leftwich starting but what is the chance of him playing the whole game? I have to make the call of Byron or Losman :shock: . I am thinking that even if BL starts, he is playing the Texans and will call it quits early. I may have to start JP...OUCH.

 
I'm looking for Moulds to have a good late season. It would be great if he starts it today since I have to put him in to cover the bye week of Holt, Colston and Bennett.

 
I'm watching.

It's not pretty. Leftwich looks horrible. Houston's offense is driving right now.

And A Johnson just scored about a 40 yard TD from Carr.

Houston 7 Jax 0

 
Byron is looking severely hindered by his ankle. Defensively the Jaguars just aren't the same team without Mike Peterson and Marcus Stroud on the field; it's even worse than when Darius was out most of last season. Houston has a shot at this. As a Jags fan, I'm worried.

 
Can someone explain to me why Lundy is in? Gado was getting 3 yards a carry which may have been the best the texans have had all year. Lundy is getting stopped pretty bad.

Lundy 4 carries 2 yards.

Lefty is starting the second half at QB, although I'm not sure it's the right decision with how he's looked on that ankle. It is a message, though, that Del Rio completely trusts him far and beyond Garrard (if that message hasn't been drilled through our heads enough already). Here's to hoping it's the right play.

:goodposting: agreed. it all hinges on whether or not they can get moving.taylor 32 yarder helps.
 
Jones-Drew gets the goalline TD over Taylor. The future Jags short-yardage formations are going to be a beast with Jones-Drew and Greg Jones in the backfield at the same time, and I can't wait to see if Del Rio will use them that way.

Not anymore. 8 for 39 and 1 TD. Almost 5 a carry.Gado 10 for 27. Did you really expect gado or Daybe to remain the starter?

This sure doesn't look like the same Jaguar team I've been watching all year.

It's not the same team. Without Peterson, Stroud, and Hayward on the field I really don't feel like the Jaguars are a Super Bowl contender anymore, and they are starting to become a fringe playoff team. Three of the five best players on defense are down and two of them won't be back this year. With Byron having ankle issues today, the frailties of the Jaguars as a team were on full display. I had incredibly high hopes going into the season, and I'm still hanging onto the idea that they can turn it around, but the amount of injuries are stacking up, even beyond they key players in the defense; a large amount of other starters and role-players have gone down and have lingering injuries as well (Spicer, Wiley, Sensabaugh, Lewis, Jones, etc).Playing Byron may have been a mistake today but it's one that I can live with. He's the quarterback of this team - regardless of how some may see Garrard - and they will only go as far as he takes them. That message is clear and has been reiterated countless times, and after what will probably be another week of public outcry for Garrard, it will be stated again against the Eagles. Did that come at the cost of a win? It's hard to say. In hindsight I don't think Jacksonville had a chance - all of the weaknesses created by injuries were exposed by a very young and talented Houston offense that is coming into its own.

It sadly looks like another year of waiting for the Jaguars to ascend to elite status in the NFL. Injuries have taken their toll and the team is reeling even coming off a bye. I know it sounds incredibly pessamistic and it's still very early in the season, but the losses they've taken are substantial. Luckily the team is still incredibly young and is in great position to sustain its talent and development as a team.

I'm also going to give credit where it's due - Houston played a hell of a game. That's a team that's going in the right direction and has a lot of pieces in place to build a winning team. It's only a matter of time before they're a real force in the AFC South. It'll be fun to see the rivalry that develops between the two over the next few years as the Colts steadily decline from their cap issues.

Anyway, with any luck I'll end up being completely wrong and the Jags will rally next week against the Eagles and push for the playoffs.

Dazz,I'd say your assessment is spot on.

 
How did Lundy look? I see the stats but how did it look. I have him riding pine and I was gonna cut him this week but should I reconsider now?

He looked good. He busted off two long runs and found holes in the middle more than a few times. He looked considerably better than Dayne and Gado and the starting role should be his to lose.
