Fins playoff hopes back on life-support entering this game -- seems fitting. They are back to reality.

Great blitz pick up by Drake

 

[Paolo305613]

Great opening drive for the Fins ends in a TD on a shovel-toss to Bolden. Now its on the defense to show up

 

[Paolo305613]

17th TD pass for #17

 

[Paolo305613]

Not entirely surprising - Jaguars drive down field with no resistance and help from the Fins D (penalties) to tie the game - long drive for the Jaguars.

 

[Paolo305613]

Charles Harris with his first sack of the year - a huge sack to start this defensive drive for the Fins

Another unsurprisingly interesting thing to note is how todays broadcasters are surprised that Howard and Alonso are healthy scratches today after seeing them practice during the week -- seems like a very Dolphins thing to do.

Fins by as Kessler losses the ball on a fumble.

 

[Paolo305613]

Fins can't execute on the takeaway - a missed blocked gets Tannehill sacked - and then a little pressure from the Jags seemed to have caused Sanders to miss a FG wide right. These are the kinds of mistakes the Fins cant make today with little room for error as far as their post-season hopes.

Bortles now in for the hurt Kessler

 

[Paolo305613]

Great sack by Wake to end that drive

 

[Paolo305613]

Pass blocking fail the Fins causing another sack - 3 and 17 and they call a weak ass run - we go into the half tied at 7 - Jags start the second half with possession.

Jags almost return it for a TD but instead attempt a 56 yard FG that gets partially blocked.

 

[Paolo305613]

Huge 3rd down sack on this opening defensive drive for the Fins to keep the Jags off the board and game tied.

 

[Paolo305613]

This review could really hurt the Fins

 

[Paolo305613]

And just like that - the call is overturned

 

[Paolo305613]

That turnover was caused by the play call - thats just not the play you call on that part of the field considering how bad blocking has been today for the Fins.

 

[Paolo305613]

Fins defense comes up big on the sack - pushing the Jags out of scoring range. Thankfully it was only a running into the kicker penalty

 

[Paolo305613]

Fins D unraveling as only they could - hopefully signaling the end is near for inept Matt Burke
