PrintI was going to write something witty here, but punting from the Jags' 37 and trying an inside handoff on 3rd & 21 has me beating my face against a wall. Here's the second quarter thread. Enjoy.

I don't understand why the Jags won't just run the spread
It’s clear that Gabbert gets too skittish normally.

Sean Peyton got hurt.
So its not impossible.
But despite his flaws, by the end of the year he will have 11 wins and an extension.

Jones should have made that catch. He tried to bread-basket catch that instead of reaching up and picking it out of the air. The difference between AJ and JJ right there.
Yeah, Dre would've gotten it
but also a slightly farther throw prevents the corner from being able to make a play on it
by goingforthecorner on Oct 30, 2011 1:01 PM CDT up reply actions
That's what keeps JJ from being good
He makes mental mistakes that keep him from making catches. If he had gone up for it the corner would not have been a factor. No way you can put that on Schaub.

After a win, all the radio talk shows can't stop getting calls from fans and talking about how they can win a Super Bowl with Schaub
A loss, and they can’t stop the calls that Schaub is total trash.
Truth
I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.
The world will go back to normal in the second half.
Normal for the Texans unfortunately is losing games they shouldn’t though.
