Fred Taylor guarantees victory over Texans

x904jagx said:
haha. you guys are funny.

yeah, you beat us two weeks ago. go you guys.

henderson and mathis will both play this upcomming weekend. we had a 20-0 lead on the titans with the game under control and there was really no need to keep them in.

this sunday the jags will be fired up and ready to go barring the loss from our last meeting.

you all also seem to think we have a soft home field advantage. well clearly you havent been to jacksonville anytime recently. we've outscored out opposition 124-24 at home this season thus far, also holding two shutouts over the jets and steelers.

if any of you are planning on taking the trip down here this sunday, i'd recommend you save your money for another meanigless outing because this sunday will not be the texans sunday to say the least.

All i have to say is 27-7 and that is far more convincing then anything you can spew out

i'm not doubting that we wernt ready for our last meeting...but mario had little to no effect on us minus one sack that was meaningless at that point in the game.

it'll be fun to watch carr eat dirt while henderson, spicer and the rest of our 2nd team d-line dismantle him.

Haha, you obviously do not understand much football. It is okay, because Del Rio does, and he will definantely gameplan AWAY from Mario this time.

i understand that he had little to do with how lefty played a few sundays ago.

lefty made mario look good.

"Guaranteeing" victory is almost always classless, and pointless. What's the payoff if Fred is wrong? He retires? He personally reemburses the fans for the tickets? Just a useless, arrogant statement.

I say almost always, because guaranteeing victory did work once for a team. When Joe Namath promised a Super Bowl victory against the heavily favored Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl, he fired up his Jets team and helped publize a game that was not yet "Super". But that's the exception that proves the rule. Does Taylor need to fire up his teammates in order to win this game? No, he was just showing a lack of class.

Honestly, I figured the Jags would sweep us this year because you guys have a much better team. But your team (like ours) is really very delicate emotionally. You guys have every reason you should beat us: a stronger defense, a more experienced coaching staff, a huge homefield advantage (especially considering our really bad losing streak on the road). BUT. You guys frequently look past opponents and lose to guys you should beat. There's really a pretty good chance that we sweep you guys again this year.

No wonder you're talking smack. It's a defense mechanism to hide your insecurity.

I see that no Jag fan wants to get back on how fragile Fred Taylor is..........Hmmmmmmmmmmm!

no doubt his past has been injury ridden, but this season is different for fred. this past offseason he actually WASNT injured and had time to condition. he's been extremely solid this season, being ranked amungst the 10th in the NFL. with him and mojo as a one-two punch, our running game should once again rumble over your defense.
 
Just thought I'd clear up a few misconceptions in this thread.

1. We're 4-0 at home and have outscored opponents 111-24. We play well at home, for the people saying we have no home field advantage.

2. The Jaguars have a waiting list for season tickets.

3. Taylor has only missed a couple games due to injury the past few years. Not to mention we have an excellent back up in Maurice Jones-Drew, who leads rookie running backs in TDs and is averaging 4.6 ypc (0.1 less than Taylor). If Taylor goes down we have a good replacement, plus MJD is helping Taylor stay fresh.

4. Garrard will most likely be starting, so you might actually have to defend the pass this time, instead of watching Leftwich bounce balls into the grass behind his receivers. Not to mention he can scramble as well.

5. Lol at everyone saying how classless this is. People guarantee victory all the time. If one of your players did it you'd praise him for showing leadership and firing up his teammates. So shut up with this classless crap.

I won't go so far as to predict a Jags victory, but the ignorance in this thread is ridiculous.

atleast you, unlike most of your fellow fans, have enough sense to understand basic concepts of this fued.

what you fail to understand is i personally have no insecurity, only confidence, and with confidence comes my willingness to come here and talk smack.

MJD grew praise from our defenders last game in that he was a small-elusive runner, one of the better backs they've faced this year. I think he's going to be a great replacement for FT when he decides to retire or go somewhere else after this season (contract year).

And I for one was wanting Leftwich to play the last game because he's nowhere near as mobile as Garrard is. I believe this is going to be a completely different game with Garrard in as quarterback.

OK. I can see now how classy Taylor was to predict a win against a 2-6 team on his home turf. I just hope Fred displays the same type of leadership he gave the team on 10/22, when he coughed up the ball while the Jags were driving for the lead.

I personally think it has nothing to do with class. The Jags need this game bad. Even though he predicted a win against a 2-6 team it shows how the rest of the league sees our team. Not as a 2-6 team but as a team that could beat you on any given sunday.

exactly. we do need this win. the jaguars respect the texans as a team, as do i as a fan...but, to be honest, we have, at least on paper, a better team and should win this game. if we don't then i'm gunna hate to see this city on monday.

Do you honestly believe that? Reggie has done squat sinc ebeing on the Saints (one punt return for a tD that had great blocking). Other than that, nothing.
 
I have been to JAX plenty and All-Tarp errrrr All-Tell stadium is NOTHING to be proud of. I have seen more raucos crowds at High School games.

while you may think you make sence, you dont.

this all has to do with population and statistics of cities with NFL teams.

we have a smaller market, making it difficult to sell 70,000 plus tickets. our stadium still holds 65,000 plus.

either way you look at it, you can throw whatever you want out there. it all comes down to sunday!

haha. looks like youre the one whos dreaming.

If we beat you this weekend, our chances will be pretty similar - i.e. win out for a lock, lose one and probably toast. You can give up one loss (apart from us), but you still have three huge games (Giants, Pats, Colts) to our two -Pats, Colts (with Colts fairly likely to sit their starters). Both our chances would be the same - not much.

No way we'll be consistent enough to win out - and your team isn't exactly a model of consistency either.
 
I will be here as usual, and in the event we are outplayed and lose, I will be a stand-up guy and take it.....

Dude it has eveything to do with you having so many black-outs that your owner cried to the league... Don't y'all make it point to let visitors know that you have the country's biggest city (I know thats area and not population), but you should draw folks from Georgia too. I mean isn't JAX in southern Georgia?

Besides, I don't see Green Bay not selling out. Thats a small market team. Charlotte's not that big of a city, St. Louis, Kansas City, etc. That is was will be a weak argument... Especially considering that JAX has been a darn good expansion team!

all the teams you named are all long time franchises that have been cemented in the NFL or even AFL for a long time now except the panthers, who have also had problems selling out in the past.

no worries though. with our new waiting list what you have to say dosent both me!

I could care less about the "all time series". I guess for some of you, that means something. Quite frankly, that's actually a compliment because it seems that you aspire to reach our level. When you actually reach .500 or better in a season, then we'll talk.
Click to expand...


You're right, we haven't been a very good team, but YOUR team is 100% for sure on top of the list that OUR team is JUSTIFIED in talking smack to.

And if you don't care for the all time series, then what other criteria to go by but our most recent game?
Ooops, got ya there, too Jagoff...
I'm sure we'll see more of you IF your team manages to pull one out against a team that it has historically had trouble with, but until then, we got scoreboard on you chump, and there's not a lot you can say about that.

Not only that but he's throwing the ball very well, much better than I've ever seen him throw it. Granted it was against Tennessee but we'll see.

As for the other jags fan in this thread, I don't speak for him.
 
So lets see - we've established Freddy really has been fragile, people in JAX can't watch their own team play, and the thing about the all-time record. Not bad for 2-6 team facing off against a 5-3 Juggernaut. Your suppose to beat us, but for some reason you can't and haven't.
 
When we get beat? Like a few weeks ago? Isn't that what was expected? The Texans were supposed to have their a-double-s's handed to them and it didn't happen. The "D" is looking good and thanks to your broke down RB they have another reason to bring the pain. Can't wait to see Mario and Demeco add to their sacks and kick the Jags in theirs. Well, that fleshy patch where their sacks should be.

I am pretty sure Jacksonville is the biggest city (land wise) in the US. I know they are top 3. They have plenty of fans.

Were the majority of fans calling for Gerrard to start before Del Rio announced it? 6-1 as a starter is kind of hard to ignore. If our backup had that kind of record here the MB servers would fry.

Jacksonville is the biggest city in the US land-wise, but it's the second-smallest market in the NFL population wise. Only Green Bay is smaller, and Milwaukee technically isn't counted in their market size.
