I want to be optimistic but I think we go out in a blaze of glory.

In other words, we lose the same way we been losing. Putting up statistics and still coming away with an L.

Jacoby Jones missed the flight. not a good behavior at all. He's a contributor, but no excuse. What I heard, from Jacoby's side, he was late for preflight meeting by 10 minutes due to ice on the bridges , but Kubiak was upset, or wanted to send a message that need to be there, and told him to go home. not that he missed the flight.

One of the things to win this game is we need to stop MJD running with our defense.

And, with Slayton out, perhaps Chris Bown and Moats need to have a good running day for our side.

No turnovers by anybody, or atleast not on our side of 50 yard line would for sure help a bunch.

Be nice to see less dumb penalties. Maybe coach needs to sit guys for a while if they do one of those dumb penalties.

Don't forget to set your DVRs.....

Dang, JJ needs to leave the house earlier....

In other NFL games, I'm not sure who I want to lose more in Colts vs. Titans....

[Arky]

Houston win the toss and defers.

Jags bring the kickoff back to their 19.

MJD TFL -2. Brings up 2nd and 12.

Pass to Wolford good for 7. 3rd and 5 coming up.

Pass to Thomas good and he reaches for the 1st down.

Pass to Lewis big gainer - 47 yards. Ball at the Texan 24.

MJD for 1. Brings up 2nd and 9.

2nd down pass is batted down by Cody. 3rd and 9 coming up.

Garrard is smoked by several for a sack. A Smith gets the credit. -10.

Jags to attempt the 51 yard FG.

FG is good.

Jags 3, Texans 0

[Keith]

Busing looked pwned by Lewis on that deep gainer.

Texans got the big sack on third down to push the FG back to 51 yards, which looks like the 11th sack allowed by the Jags this year. Telling stat not just for the Jags o-line, but for David Garrard. He is usually a pretty smart QB that doesn't lose a lot games for his team with dumb decisions.

[Arky]

Correction: Barwin and Smith get credit for .5 sack each on previous series.

Kickoff by the Jags sails out of the endzone so Texans ball at the 20.

On 1st down, Schaub sacked for -2. Schaub shaken up. Grossman in.

2nd down pass goes inc.

Oh no, Grossman's 3rd down pass is tipped downfield and INT'ed by the Jags who bring it all the way back to the Texan 18.

[Keith]

And the Cannon is in.

If Schaub is out for the game, he is going to ruin more than a few fantasy games this weekend.


...and Rex is bound to do the same to the Texans. Picked already!

[Arky]

MJD for 6. 2nd and 4 coming up from the Texan 12.

2nd down pass goes inc. 3rd and 4 coming up.

QB draw comes up short of the 1st down and the Jags will go for it on 4th and 1.

QB sneak gets the 1st down.

MJD for 4 puts the ball inside the 5.

MJD for 3. Ball is at the 1 - 3rd and goal coming up.

MJD gets a 1/2 yard. 4th and a half yard for the TD. Del Rio challenges that MJD made it in.
