Quote:This team back then would probably still go winless

This team might be winless this year if they were playing on Friday nights against the likes of Bolles, First Coast, Raines, etc.

Quote:2004 season was seriously awesome. That 27-24 win in Indy was one of the best games I've ever seen. That game at Green Bay was also amazing. 

I still remember that last second Ernest Wilford game winning touchdown in Buffalo with no time left in Week 1. And that 7-6 win against Denver the following week. We went 3-0 that year and we probably could have won the division that year as well, but those heartbreaking losses to the Texans, and Pittsburgh really hurt us.

2007 was way more fun from what I remember.

As heartbreaking as that Pittsburgh loss was, that was an amazing game.

When I was watching it on TV, I thought at first that Scobee made the field goal, but he literally came just a yard short of making it.

Yard wide, but still.

Didn't we lose like 28-3 in the playoffs though? I also prefer the 2007 team. Even though we had an easy schedule in 05 I still liked that team though. First play of the year was a fumble by seahawks on the kick off, don't ask why I remember that.

Maybe because the returner's name was Josh Scobey?

The interesting thing about 2005 is that we beat BOTH SB teams that year. The New England game was very disappointing. The game was 0-0 at the end of the 1st quarter and the defense was holding strong against Brady, but in typical New England fashion, they exploited the blown coverage and found a way to win.

 

Out of all the games played in the 2000's, the one that really angered me the most, was the game against the Pats on Christmas Eve in 2006. That Garrard fumble still haunts me and I generally believe that the refs favored the Patriots on that day.

Hypothetical question to everyone out there: "What if the Jags beat the Patriots in 2007?" Would this franchise be totally different from today's? or would it all be roughly the same?

 

A win like that could have done wonders for this franchise.

Quote:I thought the 14-2 team in '99 was the easiest schedule the team has ever played.

 

2005 was a huge letdown for me as a fan. The team launched itself into the playoffs on a 3-game winning streak, and absolutely dismantled the last two teams they faced. Then, like the Jaguars have done historically, they fell flat on their face and were blown out in the first round. Huge disappointment.

 

2007 was my favorite year of the Shack/Jack/Gene era (error), with the playoff win at Pittsburgh being one of the most memorable games the Jags have ever played.

You remember why right? They started Lefty when he had been injured for like 12 games prior. That is one of the biggest mistakes Del Rio made, I actually remember Matt Jones looking like he was trying in that game. We were very injured at the end of the year, even Fred was injured. New England deliberately lost their last game to get us. Don't know if starting Garrard would have got us the W (prob not), but we wouldn't have only scored 3 points.

Question is: If the Jags were 100% healthy, could we have beaten New England?

Quote:Question is: If the Jags were 100% healthy, could we have beaten New England?

Could we? Yes we could, Denver certainly did in the next week with Jake Plummer no less. The Pats were not that good that year. But I am still not sure I think we would have. Del Rio still might have started Lefty, but that was his best season. I would probably give that team a 50% chance back then with a healthy offense of Freddy T. We had Legit D in 2005, thats why we held the Pats to 20 or 21 even with the horrible job our offense did with Lefty out there.

Ah, back when we had a scary defense.

Quote:Who cares. It's 2013.

 

+1

Quote:Ah, back when we had a scary defense.

I do miss Stroud and Henderson, never could get the DE right, but boy, nobody went up the middle on us.

Quote:Ah, back when we had a scary defense.

I still remember that MNF game against Pittsburgh in 06 where we held the Steelers to 9-0. Probably the best defensive game this team has ever played in its 20 year history.

That '06 defense is the best we ever had... Too bad we wasted it. What a monster...

December 16th, 2007 was certainly one of my top three Jaguars' games of all time.

 

The first time in franchise history that we actually played NFL football in a driving snow storm.

 

Little did the Steelers' fans cheering the onset of the blizzard know that the Jaguars were built for all-weather.

How could anybody witness this game and call David Garrard an average quarterback. Every effort to sabotage his career was made in order to railroad Tebow in. Cry shame.

I remember after this game people were talking about us as if we were a sure fire lock-in for Super Bowl champs. And people were saying that Jacksonville was the team "That nobody wants to play."

 

Man, oh man, how much has changed...
