[Official] Jaguars @ Texans Game Thread

Kareem Jackson made a play? Whoah..

 

No before that.. I may have misheard

 

KJ makes a play? WTF is going on?

 

Did jackson just not **** up?

 

Ah gotcha. Thanks!

 

I like this red/white. combo. Wish they could wear it all the time.

 

Jacoby Jones got a catch, Shaub ran it for a TD, and Kareem just made a decent defensive play. Who are these Texans?

 

Damn, that woulda been nice.

 

I'm sorry but why CANT you decline false start!!!

 

It really looks great on the field... and contrasts well with the red fans in the seats, and looks great with the sun on the field when the roof is open.

 

Because the play is whistled dead. The only reason they kept playing there was that the players didn't hear the whistle.

 

is braman a LB?

 

Cushing hurt him... Cushing hurts everybody.

 

He is asking why is the play whistled dead. As opposed to other violations like offsides.

 

Cush nailed him to the ground.

I bet he has a cracked rib.

 

I understand logistically why. I have always just felt it was not fair that an offsides can be played through with other team getting a choice, but a false start cannot.

 

I'm surprised that wasn't a late hit, not complaining though.

 

I don't understand why false starts are a penalty at all.

 

in other news,
did s.slaton scored a TD?

or is it a different slaton?

 

They do have other versions of "false starts" that aren't whistled dead... like illegal formation or illegal motion. However, if an o-lineman moves early, play is dead. Just like in track and field and a runner starts early

Also, offsides is sometimes whistled dead when the defense gets a clear advantage and touches an offensive guy.
