ur right KJ, i guess they're (Jags fans) not all like that.

i can understand how a hard-fought win like that could get someone amped up to be honest. i know if i were a Jags fan i'd feel pretty satisfied. they were tenacious and really earned it yesterday.

that was quite a clear and unbiased review of the game, and pretty much the way I saw it as well.

that Garrard is one tough SOB. there was no quit in him. although the Browns were missing their signal-caller/primary right rusher in Scott Fajita and Robaire Smith, my favorite d-lineman he can still relate to what Brees and Brady experienced. 6 pix is a LOT to overcome and he took it all in stride and fought and still won that game.

your defense played awesome. i can't believe they stopped Hillis so well. our line couldn't make a hole for him and the Jags sealed the edge well too, he had nowhere to go. great adjustments by Del Rio.

Mangini and Daboll basically got outcoached Sunday. and if that weren't enough Maurice JD had a good game, and top pf squandered timeouts, missed field goals and an anemic offense we just couldn't finish.

but, it was still fun to watch and although i was sick about it yesterday, today i see a silver lining that we are one slot closer to that elite WR we desperately need and trust Heckert be able to get for us.

unlike us, the Jags are still in the hunt and made it happen, plain and simple. so congrats, Kodiak, and good luck down the stretch.

hopefully our guys take something from this and it pays some dividends later. our coaches can learn a lot from it too actually.

Well yeah, I'm satisfied with the team's performance, but we haven't won anything yet. Last year we were 7-5 with 4 games to play and got clobbered 4 consecutive times to end the season (once by your team). You guys beat the bejeezus out of us then, even though you had nothing to play for. You ran all over us, not giving us the respect you'd give a speed bump.

I'm very happy with our defensive play, and MJD ran hard all day. I just wish I could count on my team giving that kind of effort every week. Consistency has been a real issue for us since JDR took over.

Thanks for wishing us luck down the stretch, because we'll need it. I do not expect us to make the playoffs this year, and would be happy with 9-7 and just missing, but we'll see. GL to your team for the rest of the season. Will be very interesting watching Colt mature and the rest of the team gel around him.

You guys should get your 4th win hosting the Panthers this week. The following week will be a slugfest in Miami Should be a great game!

Dear Smug as Fukk at 2 am,

crawl back into the hole you crept out of, the troll position is already filled here.

is this what most Jags fans are like? they see a thread giving them satisfaction and they feel empowered to register on our board after the win and talk unnecessary smack?!?!?

all i see are some cowards who show up late to rub it in that didn't have the confidence (balls) to register last week and do it then. nuke em, mods.

No, "most" Jags fans aren't like that. But every team has childish, instigator fans who will troll like that because they have nothing better to do with their sorry life, I guess.

I'll go ahead and apologize for newjags and fanmatt, since they probably aren't man enough to come back here and do it themselves.

Now, getting to the game...Jags should have lost that game, even though our defense turned in its best performance of the year. Turnovers, turnovers....same thing happened earlier this year (6) vs. the Chargers and we weren't so lucky.

I moved to Alaska from Jville 10 years ago, and was watching the game over at my brother's house yesterday. I knew it would be a slugfest, since browns/jags games usually are. Cleveland had already whipped NO and NE (badly, in NE's case). I had butterflies throughout the game, which got worse with every turnover of course.

IMHO, Colt McCoy is the real deal. He's very young and still learning, but has great instincts and will only get better. His escape for that Hillis TD pass was amazing. Those 2 Jags posters earlier might not have had anything good to say about McCoy, but if he was our starting QB the would be defending him.

Also, Hillis is the real deal. Reminds me of Alstott from TB, or maybe your own Jamal Lewis. He gave a stiff-arm on one run to the left that completely flattened one of our defenders. If he can stay healthy, he'll be probowler.

Your team does have a few issues, just like ours does. I know you were out a few starters due to injuries, like we were. I think your OLine needs a little work. Our DLine is pretty bad, but we managed to get McCoy down 6 times, I think. Our secondary needs a lot of work, but your secondary (at east this game) looked decent to me. Heads up playing to get that many picks, and the agressiveness in stripping the ball and gangtackling paid dividends for you guys.

Your Dline looks good. You got to Garrard and pressured him many other times which caused bad passes (some of which became turnovers). It seemed like near the end of the game your defense didn't blitz as much. Blitzing was working for your team earlier, so why stop? Oh well...either way, it looks like Mangini has turned out a good product. I just hope for your guys' sake that he gets enough wins to stay on and see his effort yeild more results in the W/L column. You guys should be at least 5-5 now.

Anyway, thanks for the hard-fought game & insight afterwards.
