Quote:1. The Barlow muff is a good choice. If the Jagaurs win that game they probably win the Superbowl and Coughlin might still be here now. Aside from that I'd change the last game of the 2011 season allowing the colts to win and depriving them of Andrew Luck. I know there might not be one play to point out for it, but just that change in the draft order would realistically put the Jaguars in contention to win the division this season and every season looking into the next decade. Thanks to that useless win the Jaguars get to deal with Andrew Luck for the next 10+ years.

 

2. In addition to the run over Mike Doss the other colts rivalry play I can think of would be the 375 game when Mojo had a colt hanging off of him swing around him and go flying off of him on the way to a TD. https://youtu.be/MmQAYpeU0Hk?t=1m1s

The Tacks rivalry play doesn't exist for me. Until the Jaguars do something sufficiently painful to them to make up for 99' then we still owe them a big one. Destroying the shoulder of their QB on a sack if they ever get a real blue chip prospect would probably be about what it would take to pay them back properly.

The most memorable play against the texans to me is when Jacoby Jones dropped the ball on his way into the end zone because he was celebrating early and it ended up a touchback for the Jaguars. I think that play pretty well encapsulates the texans and the entirety of their fanbase in general. Unwarranted celebration when they really have little to celebrate.

The steelers rivaly play choice of the blocked FG return for the steelers stands alone. Iconic play.


3. Favorite play was probably Means' first TD against the Bills in the 96 playoffs when he bounced off the pile and ran as hard as he could to get the TD. That was the moment I knew the Jaguars really had a chance.

 

4. Taylor's best play was against the Dolphins in the 99 playoffs when he took a screen pass and juked out or ran over pretty much every player on the dolphins defense for a TD.

Jimmy Smith's best play was catching the hail mary TD at the end of the half against the Patriots in 96 after it bounced off McCardell. Jaguars lost the game, but that was a memorable play from a guy who wasn't really known at that point.

Brunell's most memorable play was throwing the INT at the end of the first titans game in 99. That was pretty much how I remember him now, a guy that played some good games, but always came up short against the tacks.

MJD's most memorable play was above when he threw off the defender on his back against the colts.

 

5. That river city relay was awesome, especially the color guy's shriek of horror after the extra point miss. I'll never forget that.

I couldn't think of a memorable play against the Texans when I first made the post, but I have to say the Hail Mary to Mike Thomas would qualify as memorable.  As I type now, I still don't know if that is the one play that sufficiently encapsulates the rivalry between the teams, but to me it is certainly the most memorable.  THE Pro Football Hall of Fame does, too, because they have Thomas' gloves on display.  That represents one of the few times in NFL history a game was decided on a Hail Mary.

 

If I had to pick a play that encapsulates the rivalry with the Tacks...and it sickens me to type this....it was the McNair scramble in the title game.  For some reason, Haynesworth's body slam of MJD also leaps to mind. 

 

MJD had so many exciting plays, it is difficult for me to name a favorite of his.  The block on Merriman stands out to me, but I think my favorite of his was his kickoff return against the Colts in the 375 yard game.

 

The River City Relay had two improbable aspects of it.  First, the play itself was just like the legendary end of the Cal-Stanford game of 1982.  You knew what they had to do to have a shot to win, you knew they would try it, but sitting in the stands watching them pull it off was unbelievable.  But to have them follow that up by missing the extra point defied explanation.
