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.

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.

Again, the "momentum shift" could have been avoided completely by running it more. Goes back to the INT being tossed over the middle. People are butthurt now because there's less than three days to prepare for the Saints and he's now potentially or already in the process of splitting first team reps with Beathard. 

And, again, situation, situation, situation, situation, situation. Did I miss something during those first three quarters? When we were up 31 to 6 entering the 4th quarter? Did Minshew, after having a fumble and multiple INT's that resulted in 17+ points being scored on the day get benched for Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck, Tom Brady or John Elway? Did Patrick Mahomes sneak in after playing on Thursday night?

You can die on this hill all you want. It's admirable, foolish, but, admirable. You're in a very, very small group with this line of thinking man. Local news guys were ripping it post game, just like they ripped it today on the local shows that's Jaguars related. Say whatever you want.

It was not a wise decision, period, having your [BLEEP] QB rolling around or throwing it THAT close to the endzone with 3:00 minutes and some change to play being up 14 points already. Just bad, bad situational football and awareness there. Period. If you want to stand there and defend that turd in the teal colored punch bowl along with nejagsfan? Knock yourself out.
