2006 football setting season Review:  The Jacksonville Jaguars definitely were a major disappointment in the football betting year of 2006 going 8-8 after going 12-4 the previous football betting season.  The Jaguars have a very solid defense but a weak offense.  The Jaguars finally defeated Indianapolis in Week 14 of the football betting season, then let down, lost the next three games and missed the playoffs.  

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS 2006 SEASON REVIEW

They were rotten on the road in football betting year of 2006 going 2-6. They were a .500 team against the NFL betting spread for football betting players going 8-8.  They went over in 9 of their games for football betting players that looked to play totals.

Jacksonville Jaguars 2006 Stats

Last football betting season was one that most Jags NFL betting fans would like to forget.  It has the most ups and downs in any football betting season that the franchise ever had.  In the end the downs were great than the ups and the team missed out on the football betting playoffs.  But there were all kinds of questions heading into this football betting season and NFL betting fans didn’t really knew what to expect.  If this team was firing on all cylinders there was no doubt that it was one of the better teams for the football betting season.  Many pundits and NFL betting followers had them going deep in the playoffs, some even going all the way to the Super Bowl, although the general consensus was that this was a very good football team that should make the playoffs and perhaps more on upcoming football betting period.  It all depended on a few question marks that had to be answered.

One of those question marks for the team going into the 2006 football betting season was Byron Leftwich.  Was this going to be the year that he finally lived up to his potential as a passer in the NFL betting season?  He had shown signs of brilliance but never enough to overcome the bad throws and inefficiency that he also brought to the table.  But even more immediate than those concerns was whether or not he could finally play a whole football betting season without getting injured.  Well, the answer to most of those questions was an overwhelming no.  He didn’t look that sharp when he played and he ended up injured and missed more than half of the football betting season.

Backup QB David Garrard filled in nicely, but the two are basically the same guy.  They are as close a player as any starter and back up in the league.  They are almost perfectly interchangeable in the way they play and what they achieve and their NFL betting stats prove it.  Leftwich finished with a 59% completion rate, 1159 yards passing, and a TD/INT ration of 7/5 with a 79 QB rating in a few less games than Garrard during the football betting season.  Garrard finished with a 60% completion rate 1700 yards passing, a TD/INT ratio of 10-9, and a QB rating of 80 in the same football betting season.  Different books same chapters.  And in the end neither had what it took to get his team over the hump in this football betting period.

There were a few pleasant surprises on offense, however, and the biggest among these was the pint sized Maurice Drew Jones, the rookie from UCLA who dazzled the NFL football betting followers.  This guy came out of nowhere, and projected third down back at best, to put up some very nice numbers in NFL betting stats.  He never really got the work load he deserved until late in the football betting season, but he really turned it on.  He fell just short of 1,000 yards, but on only 166 carries he averaged a whopping 5.7 yards a carry.  And he had an incredible nose for the end zone, finding pay dirt 13 times in his rookie NFL betting campaign.  He was a perfect compliment to running back Fred Taylor who stayed healthy and enjoyed a bit of resurgence, cracking the thousand yard mark and average a very impressive five yards per carry in the football betting season.  This two headed beast did most of the heavy lifting for an otherwise weak offense.

The receiving corps didn’t do much to instill fear into the other team’s defense and was a real weak spot for the team during the football betting time period.  Third year receiver Matt Jones did a nice job stepping up his production, but it just doesn’t seem he was it takes to be a number one option even though he led the team with 643 yards receiving on 41 catches for a very impressive 16 yards per catch.  Reggie Williams had another disappointing football betting year hauling in 51 receptions for 600 yards.

The defense was the lifeblood of this team and was at times unstoppable.  On paper it ranked 19th overall, but due to the difficulty of the team’s schedule the ranking didn’t do justice to what this unit accomplished.  Rashean Mathis made life hell for opposing QBs with 8 picks to go along with his 61 tackles, third on the team.  But injuries plagued this group and they never got the production they needed out of their big names.  As the team sputtered to an 8-8 record and barely missed out on the playoffs, all the little things and the injuries seemed to add up and the only way to define the football betting season ending, was frustrating.
