Your defense dictated the terms all day. Minshew had multiple turnovers on the day.

We were up 14 points with less than 4:00 minutes to go. Within easy FG range already to take a 17 point lead.

If his knee got blown up right there and he was carted off the field you would be heated.

So would the media. We got lucky in a situation we didn't need to put our QB in and we'll leave it at that.

Holy crap truth right here.

Eat the clock, smash mouth football. Heck at that point I was already calling for Beathard to be in and handing off for 3 downs. I had enough confidence in the D that I wasn't even worried about giving the ball back without additional points.

We have a short week, so I would have been SUUUUUUUUPER conservative when it comes to reps and fatigue/injury risk.

We got lucky.

In any case, it wasn’t a crazy play, it looked like they were trying to run another of the rollouts which they’ve run successfully before. Like Pederson said, you run that play a million times and it works, but at some point it doesn’t. That’s the one that gets second guessed.

I don’t know why you think Lawrence was hobbling before then.

given the state of our line "you run that play a million times and it works" is quite a stretch.

You run that play a million times and hold your dang breath.

Literally the only reason people are butt hurt about this call is because Trevor might have hurt his knee. No one said anything about the play the other times it was being run. And an injury can happen any time.

People claiming the game was over must be the same people who were leaving at the end of the third quarter because they didn’t see the colts take over the momentum in the 4th. We weren’t moving the ball much at that point either (thankfully Agnew had his big return that set up the field goal). Stay aggressive. How many times have we heard complaints when past Jag coaches have gone conservative in that situation? Pederson said he wanted to put a stake through their hearts then and there and I agree 100%.

The point is, “plays that keep our QB from getting injured” isn’t a category on the play sheet. If it is, you have the wrong coach. Bring back the ice cream sprinkles.
