Pure grit from this team. Rivers out, LT out, Gates gutting it out on a dislocated toe, and then Volek and Turner come in and carry it through to the end. Very, very impressive.
And for all the Norv Turner naysayers out there (me among them, especially as a Raiders fan): He not only proved he can win, but he proved he can win on the road against a very good Indy team and do it with the 2nd team.
I wouldn’t relish going into Foxboro with this dinged up team and facing off against Belichick and the Patsies, but, then again, the Jags came perilously close to pulling a huge upset win off. If Garrard can throw for nearly 300 yards, why not Billy Volek? And Michael Turner would be a starter on most other NFL teams. Should be interesting.
Good for the Giants, too. Coughlin must laughing his a** off right now.
