Come on.  You are honestly going to tell me that you didn't see that play and think as Henry was crossing into the 20 that they were absolutely going to score a TD?  LOL

OK.  Fine.  I'm sure you are super positive all the time and thing that whenever the oppoenents get into our red zone that our D is gonna stop them.  Because, you know.  That's what we've been doing all season...  LOL  Come on man.  Just be honest.

The tacks had 3 possesions.  2 of them resulted in a TD.  The 3rd was a great play by Walker.  

Score's 13-14...  And all of a sudden they are driving again and it's looking bleak.  Next play is a play action, and then a swing to Henry and he's got a whole head of steam as he chugs down the past the 30 and into the 20 yard line.  If there is no fumble there, you think we figure out how to not stop them??

And look at the time?  Less than 2 minutes left.  So let's say we do stop them.  We don't have the time we would have had.

Yeah. We've held opponents to three points in the red zone many times this season. 
Did you happen to watch the ravens game??

Despite all of your wild assumptions that the Jags were doomed if Henry doesn't fumble  here - the 2023 Jacksonville Jaguars have been quite stingy about giving up yards in the red zone this season. 

They have allowed 3.3 yards per rush and only a 48% passing completion percentage inside the 20. 

That is far better than what they've done between the opponents 10 and the red zone. 
Look it up.

I mean, we could go back and forth on this....  Did you happen to watch the Lions game????

Henry was averaging 3 yards in the last 4 games before us, and then averaged 7 yards this Sunday.  Look it up.

But even with a 7 yard average, they stopped feeding him...  

I wonder why.

Again, I'm not saying Shaq Quarterman was the best player on the team.  Or that he was even the sole reason for the fumble...  But to ignore the impact of that hit and what it meant at that moment...  It's just kinda not providing the flow of how the game changed with that turn-over.

That fumble by Henry was the key pivot point of the game.

Instead of them scoring...  WE scored and then we scored again at the beginning of the 3rd.  That wouldn't have happened without the Henry fumble.  That's just...  How it is...


EDIT - The fumble happened at 1:49 in the Second Quarter for crying out loud!!! If Henry held the ball, there's no way we score to end the half...
