Oh well, I’ll instead hope this thinly-veiled bump gives it a second chance at life.  Go Jags!!!

I just got a chance to read it and thought it spelled out exactly what happened in that game on their side. The fact that they were at such a loss for words because they were so shocked they actually lost to us shows just how much they didn't give us a second thought all week running up to the game. I guess they thought our thumping of them earlier in the season was a fluke. Maybe next time they'll think twice.

Bingo.  I also thought the dichotomy of their players’ reactions was revealing.  Some, of the loud-mouth, swagger variety, were stunned because they lost to a perceived-to-be inferior opponent.  Others, of the we-better-be-ready-cus-they-already-beat-us variety, were not pleased at their teammates’ smugness.  

I think it reflects very nicely on our locker room dynamic compared to theirs. The loud ones defend the quiet ones, but at the end of the day, everyone is on the same page, everyone embraces TEAM, and everyone plays FOR each other, not apart from each other.  Malik vehemently defending  Blake was one of my favorite moments of the season.
