Fred and The Jags Come Up Short
Fred Taylor and the Jacksonville Jaguars witnessed first hand the awesomeness of the New England Patriots on Saturday night. The Jags hung in there the 1st half going into the locker room tied 14-14, but ultimately fell to the Pats 31-20. Taylor rushed the ball 13 times for 47 yards and had no receptions.
It was hard for the Jags to get Taylor involved in the game. They were taken out of their element and forced to throw the ball early and often. Taylor was no doubt very frustrated and saddened by the loss. He really gave it his all this year and still came up short. I just hope Fred can bring that same intensity to the field in 2008.
Brady was near perfect, completing 26 of 28 passes for 262 yards and 3 touchdowns. Those stats are simply amazing. Although it didn’t help that Mathis and the rest of the secondary forgot how to tackle. And I thought the Jaguars defense was supposed to be good?
Oh well, the game is over now. Fred had an awesome season. Probably a top 3 season in his career. Next stop… Hawaii.
