Quote:Maybe, but most teams in the NFL prefer to pour it on now a days, ie New England Patriots.  It's practice time against a terrible defense.

 

Our run defense actually wasn't that bad...the best way for them to move the ball was to throw down field and score points.  We made back up qb's look like perennial pro bowlers.

 

Maybe, but there's really no way to confirm intent of teams much less players. At least, given the reactions of teams that we beat in previous seasons (when opposing players were nearly in tears and in complete embarrassment that they lost to the Jaguars), you can assume that some teams (or players) thought this team was a joke and that losing to them was an unforgivable act in the NFL.

 

LIke I said, no way to confirm, but my vibe was that teams got very conservative with us in previous years after building a lead.
