My son and I toss the old pigskin around pretty much everyday. He says I throw like a girl and when he drops it, I tell him he catches like Jacoby Jones. He does not find it as funny as I do.

That being said, I still think you find a way to get Reggie Wayne here, then trade Jacoby, Leinart, and whatever draft picks it takes to move up to get Justin Blackmon.

The score was a 7 point difference. Jacoby basically gift wrapping a TD on the 1 yard line certainly cost the team something. Blame it on the rookie, but he did not make a mistake like Jacoby did, who is a 5 year veteran.

At least TJ was trying to make plays. Jacoby was trying to be a dumbass...and he succeeded brilliantly.

lol! That's funny because Jacoby has been our 'dropped ball' example for years when I throw the football with my boy!

Ya but Jacoby has had a lot more chances to be good compared to Yates. Yates is a rookie and isn't likely to play again next season unless Schaub gets hurt again (knock on wood). This will give Yates time to continue to learn and improve, and many people agree he has potential. Jacoby has been around for a much longer time and hasn't really shown actual improvement, just signs of improvement that never carry through.

TJ is a 5th round ROOKIE. JJones is a 5th YEAR VETERAN. One is expected to make mistakes as a rookie. As a veteran WR who has already disappointed everyone time and time again, cannot afford to make that kind of mistake, especially in a big time game. The score differential at the end was 1 TD+1 difference. That is exactly how many points we gave them, when JJones spotted them the ball at our 3 yard line which completely gave Ravens the momentum of the game. Yeah... Jones cost us the game.

[VTexan]

Can't believe we resigned Jacoby but let Leach go. Didn't understand it then, don't understand it now.

Perhaps I saw a different game, but I thought the momentum for the most part went the Texans way. The Ravens seemed pretty flat to me. The only way Jones definitely could have "cost us" the game is "if" the rest of game would have played out exactly the way it did after the turnover "if" the Texans did not score on that drive. Then "if" Yates had not thrown interceptions, and "if" the Texans would have still made a goal line stand in the "same" circumstances since early in first quarter had been "exactly" the same, then yes, the Texans could have had a tie game and went into overtime. But "if" the Texans would have played flawless ball and "if" the Ravens would have lost fumbles and Ed Reed's timing had been off in those situations, then yes, it's Jones fault.

I actually believe that Kubiak is a stand up guy who is not going to throw any of his players to the wolves and he did a really good thing IMO of not publically making the botched play any worse than it already was. I believe this will be Jones last season as a Texan and it is time for him to move on. How he performs on a different team will reveal that he gained enough experience to continue his NFL career, or he will leave the league and pursue other endeavors.

I'm very frugal, so before you start burning good merchandise I'll take it off your hands. I probably won't keep it, but Ebay is a good business resource.

With al that said, that loss was very disappointing and heartbreaking.

We watched the same game most likely, perhaps just a different way of interpreting it. This was a game where we could afford no mistakes playing behind a rookie in a hostile environment. Jones made that huge game changing mistake right off the bat by spotting them 7 points and the lead. You cannot afford to play catch up in Baltimore against their D with a rookie as we soon saw. Also, Yates does a much better job when he is ahead (like any QB) so that early TO by Jones put him behind the 8-ball IMHO.

Either way, I agree that Jones will probably not be a factor next season, either because he is not on the team any longer or he rides the pine all season.

Totally understand the argument between a rookie & a 5 year vet..... but Jacoby was trying to make a play as well. A dumb one, but he was trying to make a play.

I think the ball never should have hit the ground to begin with. He should have fair caught it.

& to be fair, Jacoby turned the ball over once. Tj... 3 times. I think that wipes out the "rookie" vs vet argument.

& on top of that, by half-time, we were back in control. Only down by 4 points. It doesn't make sense to blame that game on Jacoby Jones. There were a dozen plays in the second half that we should have made, that would have made up that 4 point difference.

Really? This year was a good year for Jacoby, concerning punts & fumbles.

I will never use the affectionate JJ in regards to him ever again. I hope he gets cursed with in-grown toe nails and bad teeth.

You might get Blackmon trading Jacoby and Leinart but I'm even more optimistic about getting him with Jacoby, Leinart, used toilet paper, a used snot rag and a preserved hemorroid. And if the other team still plays hard to get, go all in and add a used dildo signed by Rosie ODonnell. The other team's GM will be putty in your hands presented with that array of talent.

I bet you could fingerprint that used dildo and find the source of Jone's fumblitis...just sayin...

[Joe Texan]

Hey Jacoby cost us 7 points and he made a huge mistake in a playoff game. He probably has his days numbered in Houston and that is by his own doing but for idiots that want to make threats to him on twitter, it is A football game and you win and lose but there is no room for bonehead dumbasses tweeting death threats to anyone. Just saying

As far as I a concerned the jumbaco is a legitimate form of currency.

A 1987 style Polaroid picture of a burned Jacoby Jones jersey is worth more on Ebay than a actual Jacoby Jones jersey right now.

I'm no huge JJ fan, but, I gotta say this. Has anyone stopped to think how bad JJ feels for what he did? NO EXCUSES, I know that, but, if some of you are hating on him so much, I bet he is hating on himself even more. JJ acts before he thinks, and has been doing that since day one with our team. He made a very stup*d mistake in a crucial game, but, that boy loves our team as much as anyone else. Part of his problem is that he gets TO friggin excited and can't seem to calm himself down. Young, immature, whatever, but, I bet he hurts more than anyone. I feel bad for the boy, I really do!

I feel bad just like I do for people at work that just can't figure how to advance their career. The NFL is full of physically gifted athletes that can't put it together mentally or whatever piece is missing.

That's just the nature of the business.
