15-13, ahh a win, and in typical Jaguar fashion, they won with defense not offense, the main thing to take away is how good the Jaguars defense was against what many would call an elite offense.
The Jaguars first string defense was able to man htandle the Falcons, allowing only one TD and a little over a hundred yards of total offense.
Then, the Jaguars second string defense showed that they might have just as much talent as the starting defense.
The Jaguars has constant pressure on the Falcons QB's all night, and despite not having any sacks, they caused numerous passes to fall incomplete, and stuffed the run allowing only 72 yards rushing to Michael Turner and Co.
The standouts in this game for the Jaguars were Cecil Shorts, who had some good catches and is looking like a good number two receiver.
The others were the Blaine Gabbert, who showed good pocket prescense, and not quite as rusty as a Rookiee QB with no offseason should be (i.e. Jake Locker, Christian Ponder), and as I said before the defense overall, but Jeremy Mincey in particular.
He led the team with 3 tackles and was constantly running the RBs and WRs into the tackles of teammates.
I thought even before this game, and this just reafirms to me that the Jags have one of the most underatted defensive lines in the game today.
All in all I think the Jags are in for a good year.
