What an utterly *weird* game this was.. the final score is an illusion. I was upset at Tim Tebow for having his 3rd consecutive game where the offense has struggled and the defense keeps bailing him out. The offense stumbled and struggled for the ENTIRE FIRST HALF!! In fact our first touchdown came as a result of a pick6 by LB star DJ Williams.. but then the 2nd half came and I guess the Jaguars got tired for being on the field so much and we finally manufactured some long sustained touchdown-drives which is exactly what I want my offense to be.

Still, it's a bit worrysome seeing my offense struggle so much considering how close the playoffs are.. at 11-1 I should have more confidence in my offense but they are being carried by the defense right now and not pulling their weight at all.

VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS
Fake Punt Pass. Yes, a fake punt pass! Punter throws to a streaking comeback routing ... LB?! Look at Elvis Dumervil go! haha

Knowshon Moreno wants the endzone but gets launched and helicopterized instead

I should be happy. I really should be happy. The Patriots lost and the Broncos now hold the best record in the entire NFL. We've clinched the division, maybe homefield throughout, a bye even. After being crushed off a play-action and fumbling which led to the Chiefs' only score, Tim Tebow finally picked himself up and broke out of his now 4-game slump and manufactured drives which ended in TD's. I should be happy..

However, midway through the 3rd qtr, MLB DJ Williams was injured.. and the Injury Report post-game made my heart sink.
MLB DJ Williams - Torn Pectoral: Out for the season.


There are no words to express my thoughts or feelings right now.. to lose him at this point of the year in what should be my team preparing for a huge playoff run.. this is beyond my imagination. DJ Williams is the heart and soul of my defense. He holds the fort down and is one of the reasons I can get by without having any true Defensive End. He. holds. the. fort. down.

He is the reason Elvis Dumervil can fly around during the game making plays everywhere. You take him away and I am unsure what I am left with. Sure I can try to move R. Ayers which I moved to a DE spot during the pre-season back to his natural LB role but that just exposes my line even more.

There are no free agents to be had, no trades to be made, I just lost the heart and soul of my defense entering the playoffs.. I should be happy with how my team is doing and with the current NFL results but I just cannot find it in me.

I am worried, and yes, nervous.. I just lost MLB DJ Williams.. damn it all.

VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS
This is why Elvis Dumervil should be a LB.. he just flies all over the field making plays!

Spoiler

WR Damyrius Thomas - don't forget that name, he seriously may be *THE BEST* receiver in the entire game!! He simply cannot be pressed and beats it cleanly leading to touchdowns

Spoiler

Previous series before this was Tebow being crushed on a PA-pass, fumbling the ball which KC recovered and ran back 70+yds for a TD. What do I do? same situation, same part of the field, PA-pass once again and Tebow stands, gets crushed, but delivers!

Spoiler

The Chiefs' last hurrah.. a deep bomb completion, off a deflection, which is fumbled, and the Broncos recover. Try saying that 5 times fast!

with 3 games remaining in the regular season, I need to figure out what kind of mess my defense is in now that DJ Williams is gone.. people are going to have to step up, plain and simple but make no mistakes, DJ Williams is a void that almost certainly cannot be filled.. not at this point in the season

not with this much at stake

Gameplan against the pass. Holmes and Edwards are fast as it is, and losing your MLB will hurt, especially since Keller can burn most starting MLBs.

truthfully, I am going to use the remaining 3 games mostly to patch-fix my defense, losing MLB DJ Williams is disastrous..

I will take this chance to use the final games as prepwork for the playoffs.. moving DE R. Ayers (85ovr) back to his LB role (75ovr) is not out of the question..

I did use my 2nd round pick last draft on a DE so I have to bite the bullet somewhere and maybe start him there..

we'll see how the games go but damn.. I never expected this and frankly, I am shocked

Great Franchise...

but you should find some more difficult sliders.

We lost this game because of turnovers. Specifically, down by 7 points in the 3rd qtr, my rookie HB fumbled on the punt return which led to a Jets' TD tying the game up. My defense did not look as bad as I feared it to be, they still flew around making plays and Bingo and Champ still cannot be contested.. however the loss of MLB DJ Williams was felt in more ways than one. We could not stop the run, nor were we able to generate enough pressure on the QB and the middle of the field was wide open to crossing routes and streaks.

Tim Tebow *has* to step his game up.. I need long productive scoring drives.. he simply cannot be carried by this defense anymore. The opponent is keying on Knowshon loading the box with 8 guys and the run game is struggling a bit and Tebow has to make them pay for it.

Being this close to the playoffs, I am not panicking but I see now that drastic moves have to be made as my defense got gassed in the 4th qtr and simply could not stop the Jets anymore. R. Ayers who have played as a LE all season long may move back to his old LB position to give us a much needed patch and I may have to simply bite the bullet and start my 2nd round pick, K. Kendrick (72ovr, B pot) as the LE.. what other options do I have? I have to go with what I have..

VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS
One of the few things Tim did right

Just like they ran in Florida, Option play
