It seemed to me your defense kinda threw in the towel late but I suppose that's understandable given the offensive situation.  We've certainly seen our defense do that same thing in the past.  

I actually noticed in the game thread that you guys complain about a lot of the same things we do/have in recent years. Play calling, can't cover a TE to save our life, "never" getting any calls your way, and up until recently very poor QB play. It seems our teams are being built very similarly too. If you had our QB or we had a few of your defensive studs, that team would likely be running away with the division.  

I still say HOU and IND trending downward while our teams are on the rise.  Could be a new day in the AFC South.

The defense got tired from being on the field too long. Although Michael Bennett is serviceable he is not Malik Jackson. We tried to run but fell so far behind Nathaniel Hackett had to call too many passing plays in the second half. Obviously the three turnovers were a big reason for that. I have always been a big believer that games are won and lost by turnovers. It does not matter how many yards you gain or how long you have the ball if you turn the ball over three times and let your opponent score after each giveaway.

The Colts started going downhill two years ago. NFL analysts have been picking either the Titans or Texans, so the Jaguars have to disprove their critics again.
