Garrard to miss Bucs game?
Jacksonville quarterback David Garrard suffered an ankle injury against the Colts in the Jags' loss to the Colts Monday night and it looks like his availability for Sunday's game in Tampa is in question.
Garrard left in the second quarter and did not return. The Jags lost 29-7.
After the game, Jacksonville coach Jack Del Rio indicated the injury is at least somewhat serious.
"He's got a pretty good sprain on there, so I would think that in all likelihood, he'll be missing some time," Del Rio said of Garrard. "He tweaked it pretty good."
The Jags' backup quarterback is Quinn Gray, who looked uninspired against the Colts defense. He threw two intereceptions and finished 9 of 24 for 56 yards. Ouch.

Doesn't help the bucs, who will make any backup QB look like Joe Montana with the pass rush that has been displayed this year. Jags can also just hand the ball off to Fred, and the bowling ball MJD, and the piss poor tackling will get them through the game. Anyone got some confidence available, about a half keg will do for each Sunday, lol.

That guy sucks. He got ripped by the Tampa 2 and will expect to receive the same abuse Sunday. MJD is hurt so that leaves Taylor. It's their defense that is scary, not their offense.

Should be a low scoring game, especially if MJD is not 100%. Gray looked terrible last night and I expect the Jags to try and grind the ball out the entire game. The Bucs will need to be ready to stop a lot of run plays.

This should have been a huge game, for the jags, now it appears that the bucs actually have a shot to win. Should have beat Detroit. DAMN!!!!!!
