INDIANAPOLIS, IN.--The Jacksonville Jaguars broke into the win column in a big way with a 22-17 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Blaine Gabbert hit Cecil Shorts with an 80 yarder on the first play of the drive after the Colts took the lead leaving 45 seconds to sweat out the victory. This time the defense held off the Colts for win.

Gabbert finishes 10 of 21 for 155 yards and a touchdown. Maurice Jones-Drew started the second half with a 59 yard touchdown run and finished with 177 yards on 28 carries.

This is a complete team win. Mike Mularkey presented Jaguars owner Shad Khan with the game ball after his first win as an owner.

The Jaguars are now 1-2 and host Cincinnati next Sunday at Everbank Field.

The problem here is that we almost lost to the worst team in the league (the previous year) for the second year in a row... (Carolina last year and Indy yesterday.) We are the ONLY team that has had a top 10 pick for the last 5 years in a row! My guess is, we'll make it 6 this year. And WE STILL DON'T HAVE BUT "ONE" (MJD) STAR ON THIS TEAM???? Face it boys and girls, we have a TALENT CHALLENGED TEAM!!! And, that is ONE PERSON'S FAULT... GENE SMITH!! Fire Gene Smith before you lose the rest of your fan base! Everyone is tired of his blunders!!!

Every year is seems the Jags have more than their fair share of early season injuries to key personnel. Could be it's the hot weather that prevents proper conditioning? Maybe they should train in Alaska,where it's not so hot. Oh well,it's just a thought, but it's frustrating for fans not to see their best players on the field year after year.
