I would love and write a long detailed entry about the Jaguars’ battle with the Colts this afternoon. And I will. But. Just not tonight. I am, alas, a math teacher and there are lesson plans that are calling my name.
The important things to note:
For being a team that would be lucky to have a winning season, we looked pretty darn good against the Colts. Yeah, we had our share of mistakes but our rookies stood their own against the much more experienced Colts.
