Scobee 59 yard field goal as the clock hits 0:00… was a fun moment.

Quote:I was there for the Hail Michael.  For the 59-yarder against the clots I was on work travel so I was stuck sitting in a hotel room watching it online.  My son, who was sitting in my season ticket seat, texted me that we had won before the delay online could stream it.  Man I wish I could have been there to see it, however, I was told later by others who sit around our seats that my son had a blast, so I was happy about that.
 

So you did not get to hear Gus Johnson screaming his head off. Thank God for YouTube lol. His emotion was priceless: "Knocked down . . . CAUGHT! UNBELIEVEABLE! WOW! FIFTY YARDS!"

 

But it had to be awesome being one of 60,000 screaming fans instead. I probably would have gone home with strained vocal chords.

 

Sucks about missing what I call the Big Kick. After that somebody made Jaxson holding the football his avatar.

I bet Jim Caldwell is regretting calling a timeout on that drive for the rest of his life. Those were the best five seconds of the game.

What was the winning score that made the Falcons have to try a field goal in 1996? Nobody ever talks about that one because everyone knows it would not matter if Morten Andersen had made it but I think it is important to know why Atlanta was needed that to win the game.

What do you mean, "it would not matter if Morton Andersen had made it"?    It would have mattered a great deal.   It would have eliminated us from the playoffs.  

 

By the way, it was Jaguars 19, Falcons 17.

Ok, I see no one has mentioned it...but here it is. The greatest play in Jag history.

I never said that. Learn how to read. I was asking everyone what was the scoring play that made a field goal attempt necessary? I have no idea how anybody can not understand what I meant by that.

You said,

 

"What was the winning score that made the Falcons have to try a field goal in 1996? Nobody ever talks about that one because everyone knows it would not matter if Morten Andersen had made it but I think it is important to know why Atlanta was needed that to win the game."

 

You asked what was the winning score, then you said it would not have mattered if Morton Andersen had made it. 

 

To which I replied, the winning score was 19-17, and then I asked why you said it would not have  mattered if Morton Andersen had made it.  

 

And then I said, it would certainly have mattered if he had made it, it would have put us out of the playoffs. 

 

I don't know how to read?   You serious? 

 

Edit:

 

Oh, wait wait wait.  You mean what was the winning scoring play.  I thought you meant, what was the winning score.   So you meant the winning scoring play would not have mattered  if Morton Andersen had made his kick.  

 

I think you just wrote it poorly, because I read what you wrote literally.  What was the winning score.  

 

AND IN ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION,  the last points the Jaguars scored were 2 field goals.   That's all the points we had in the second half.   Field goal in the 3rd qtr and FG in the 4th qtr.   So the winning scoring play was a FG.

OK I was thinking if the winning score was a touchdown you could put it on the "greatest plays" list.

 

Oh well, it was still awesome that the last team to score in that game was Jacksonville.

Quote:Jimmy Smith stretching out for a touchdown in Denver in 1996 in the playoffs. 

 

A close second is Fred Taylor's 90 yard run in the 2000 playoff game at home vs. Miami in the 62-7 blowout. 
 

For me, it's a tie between two plays. Fred Taylor's 90 yard run in the 2000 playoff game, and David Garrard's scramble against the Steelers in PIT back in 2007-2008 to where he set us up in basically chip shot FG range for Scobee to take the win for us. That game, was honestly the most exciting play-off game I ever recall seeing as a Jaguars' fan. Just because of how we scored throughout the game, and how we finished it. That game was ugly for Garrard, he had a bad day thru the air, BUT, when we needed him to come up big, he did it.

Quote:All time greatest is probably Fred Taylor's 90 yard run in the playoffs against the Miami Dolphins.

 

My favorite is probably Garrard's 4th down run against the Steelers in the playoffs.
I was thinking Garrard's 4th down run too.  Didn't the jags win a game once with a goal line stand?  I can't remember it right now, but I feel like it happened.

Because we played at Pittsburgh twice, I could not remember if it was a regular season or playoff game Garrard did that at. Doing it in the playoffs made it much sweeter.

The play that stands out in my mind is a long TD pass to Jimmy Smith to take the lead with about a minute left in a game against the Ravens in 2000.


 

Unfortunately, the defense couldn't hold that lead.

In recent memory the David Garrard scramble on 4th and 2 during the 2007 playoffs.

 

All time?

 

Too many good ones to really decide.  I'll give the whole team the best play for beating denver and buffalo in '96 playoffs

Brackens sack, caused fumble, recovered fumble, rodeo dance, conference with Joel Smengee, and subsequent TD vs Miami.
