I agree that the preseason games don't really mean a whole lot, but man they got burned tonight. A 20-17 loss is an easy one to chalk up to preseason but 31-0 says a lot about what a team can be in for. The Patriots have been the darlings of the media since training camp started and now they're starting to choke right on cue. A 31-3 trouncing by the Bengals and now a big ol' goose egg tonight. I can guarantee that heads are going to roll when it comes time to review the film from this one.

Lol, well, who knows, but did you watch the game? First of all, as you mentioned, not one starter from either the offense or the defense started the game, or played at all, we have a game in a week. Second, the game was scoreless after the first half, and it was 3-0 after 3 quarters. The Patriots backups outplayed the Jax starters, Leftwich was stripped of the ball several times. And the second string O'line did a decent job against a pretty good Jax defensive line. If I am a Jaguars fan, I would be worried that my first string offense was stuffed by a bunch of backups.

What you can take from this game:

1.) That if Tom Brady goes down, so will the Patriots. Rohan Davey is not the answer at backup, he proved that this preseason, he has looked horrible.

2.) That other than QB the Pats are deep, and in this day of the salary cap and parity, it is depth that wins you championships. And the Pats are stacked with quality depth. You only have to look at their injuries last year, then look at what they accomplished.

Before you get too impressed with the Pats backups outplaying Jax starters, take a look at Jacksonville. They were 5-11 last year. Not really a team to thump your chest about supposedly whooping. And honestly the Pats backups didn't outplay Jax's starters. Jacksonville moved the ball pretty well against them but just wasn't able to convert it into points. The Pats on the other hand had a hard time mustering a first down. There really isn't anything positive you can take from that performance at all.

Look at the Jags complete history...they are a team to thump your chest about...that took a few years off..

I watched the game, beggining to end, and yes I'm gonna say there is a QB controversy, but it is only Leftwhiches 2nd year..

Plus, our Defense stripped the ball from the Pats 7+ times.

What game did you watch? Leftwich was 4 of 8 for 24 yards, for a 3 yard average. The Pats 3rd string RB, Mike Cloud, had 93 yards and a 4.9 per carry.

Stats don't show the ebb and flow of a game. In the game that I watched Jacksonville continously marched down the field only to stall out or get penalties and shoot themselves in the foot. The Pats on the other hand didn't even get a first down until their third possession and still did nothing with it.

Cloud was running like a man on fire and just about had the momentum turned until he coughed up the ball.

Coolridr, didn't mean to knock your team, but you have to know that this just isn't going to be their year. Yes the Jags have been good in the past. I'm a Titans fan myself and have plenty of opportunities to see the pounding they can dish out. But Del Rio, as much as I respect the guy, just hasn't gotten it together down there yet. They aren't playing with the fury and passion that it's going to take to win a spot in the AFC south.

You don't look at invidual people...

Look at the stats, where did they march down the field in the first half? Up til the last four minutes of the half, the deepest the Jax offense got was the Pats 45. Against 2nd and 3rd stringers, that's pathetic.

only to stall out or get penalties and shoot themselves in the foot.

Against 2nd and 3rd stringers, that should tell you something.

I'm a Titans fan myself

Lol, that explains alot.

Cougar68 · « **Reply #13 on:** September 03, 2004, 08:56:04 PM »

Here's some stats for you:

Third down conversion: Jax 11-19, Pats 5-13
Total yards: Jax 451, Pats 222
Passing yards: Jax 317, Pats 95
Rushing yards: Jax 134, Pats 127
Red Zone efficiency: Jax 3-4, Pats ZERO, as in they never got there

In the first quarter the Pats went nowhere on each possession while Jacksonville was able to move the ball. They just didn't get it down into scoring position.

Our rushing didn't do too good...

But, our main TE and RB are injured...

Tight End: Kyle Brady, in the game with the Green Bay Packers had a ligement torn from his finger, and required surgery..

Running Back: Fragile Freddy, sore ankle from previous ankle sprain I belive..
