Nice win but I felt the Texans had all the motivation here. The Jags have pretty much written off their season while the Texans still think their season goals may be within reach. Plus, they haven't been in a National TV game in a long time (if you don't count NFL Network as "national") and had that motivation.
It's always fun reminding the Gags that they are our designated bitch. However, I felt for 90% of the game that we were letting them hang around and that they might just steal it with a couple of quick touchdowns at the end.
Why was it that, with Mathis out for the second half, Kubiak didn't pound the ball to AJ? The Slaton runs were nice but we are going to really regret overworking the guy if we aren't careful. J-Ville had nobody who could stay with Johnson and we should have exploited that.
Nice to know that Mario is a prime time player. The guy seems to get up for night games.
I thought the ESPN crew did okay other than the whole Drew Rosenmouth interview at halftime. Kornhole said the Texans looked like ketchup bottles which shows you where his mind is. Although, I tend to agree that the all-battle-red unis are almost as ugly as the all-blue unis. Just stick to the white pants, okay?
And please fire the guy who put the end zone pylon in the wrong spot. I mean, jeez, way to make us all look like a bunch of rubes who don't even know where the end zone is. How could nobody notice this before kickoff? That's just inexcusable.
