Tough start, tough finish for the Jaguars.  jaguars.com http://bit.ly/nyHyEH

"Saturday's game reinforced that, and while an important part of Saturday's game wasn't what the Jaguars wanted to see, the Jaguars afterward talked extensively of liking what they saw late in the second quarter and early in the third. They weren't thrilled with a lot of the performance, but they remained convinced they are more the team from the middle of the game than the beginning and the end."  jaguars.com

"In fact, if Newton demonstrated anything in three quarters of a 24-13 loss to Cincinnati, it&39;s that he&39;s not ready for prime time. He should sit, and he should sit until he understands what he&39;s doing and what he sees -- because that&39;s not happening now."  CBSSports.com

Sure would like to have that kick back. Head up and practice even harder now! I hate missing any kick – short or long, preseason or not.

So much room for improvement I&39;ll be in the film room studying after church tomorrow

Posluszny comes up with big tackle on 3rd down. He will be a big part of a good run defense. & I am not overly concerned about the coverage

Sleeping at the top, but got nightmares of the bottom

Tonight hurt bad some people say it's only preseason but as a Unit we expect so much more out of ourselves

Stat of the day

The Jaguars' 35-32 loss at Buffalo was the first preseason overtime game in franchise history.

Schedule

The players have Sunday off before returning to work on Monday in preparation for Thursday's preseason finale against St. Louis at EverBank Field.

The last word

"You know what, that's why the fans here are so great, if you're one of them, they cheer for you, if you're not, you're not.  That's why in my four years here they were great fans, but it was different being on the opposite end of that.  I was surprised I thought it was going to come faster, when I was coming out of the tunnel everyone was cheering and saying hello.   I thought I was going to get booed more quickly than that, so it worked out okay."

*     -- Jaguars linebacker Paul Posluszny on returning to Buffalo and hearing boos from the crowd*
