Why didn't we play a prevent defense on Jags final TD?

Anybody have a pic or vid of the play? I DVRed the game but I am at work with little to do today. I searched youtube for a couple minutes but found nothing.

Trust me, you don't want to see it!! It's worse than that kickoff return we gave up to Cromrartie in the Jets playoff game.

Well, the throw to Edwards with Lacey spectating is what made me sick that game.

Keep in mind that at that time all they needed was a field goal to take the lead and they had plenty of time to do it. If you play prevent, then you're likely to give up passes underneath or to the outside. However, I do think the positioning of the safeties was a bad call.

I thought Bethea got too wide. I'd have preferred a Cover 3 look, but I think someone missed their assignment.

Zibby deserves some blame....His "play" on that MJD long TD run was atrocious.....

I've been saying he is very underwhelming ever since preseason. Bethea and Powers are our only dependable DB's. Davis has potential but he's involved in too many bone-headed penalties.

Only thought I can come with is they were scared of giving up easy yardage because of Scobey's leg. Just bad coaching IMO.

This^

Colts probably should've tried harder for a TD( so they wouldnt have to worry about Scobee ), instead of forcing the Jags to use their timeouts. But that wasn't necessarily the wrong call either.

I'm sorry but this is a dumb thread...whey didn't we play Prevent defence when they had 1:00 to get into field goal range to win it?

Hm, I don't know...maybe because all they need was a field goal to win it.....Thread fail and close

Nice post pal. 40 yards with no time-outs? And Gabbart throwing? I'd have that any day versus what we did. Anyday.

Of course the Jags will now go and lose to every other team. But, when they play the Colts they THRIVE. And really this should not have happened, I thought when we got the lead we might keep building.

But, no. They thrived. In Jaguars vs Colts fashion.

Thats why I shake my head when we lose to the Jags since it just seems too predictable at times. And sometimes I don't even fully judge the Colts based on how they play vs. the Jags since it often happens that we implode.

They are the Pats of the 80's. They would only have a few wins for the season and two of them would be against us.

I don't understand. That's exactly what we did.
