Steelers: Hope Jaguars win today

Someone please, please explain to me how that was a more legitimate catch than James's overturned TD?

 

Sooner or later that scrub is going to get smashed. Their was a run today early where thw bills defender was going 100 mph and could have leveled him. Should have, pulled up. I see no issue moving on with this display today. Ben got his wish...

And hopefully we don't have to listen to the nance/romo junk. I'm sure they will be in cheatland...

 

Yeah, good luck Blake, you're gonna need it, especially if you think ten points will get it done next week. It will not be the same Steelers team you faced on October 8th.

 

I’ll rage if Pittsburgh doesn’t beat the living hell out of the Jags next week. they’ll lose by 15+ if they only score ten against us.

 

Easy.....you can't

 

I think we got a good deal. IMO, Titans playing better than Jags right now. It`s all about momentum this time of year.

Hope our momentum is still there after not playing a game that counts for a few weeks.

 

I love the optimism, but we all know the Pats are going to dominate the Titans.

 

I think we will win, but we will have to be patient and not turn the ball over. Expecting a lower than average scoring game where we win, but not by more than 7-10 points. Maybe 20-10 or 20-13, something like that.

 

You made this personal. That's on you.

You showed you don't understand football. That's on you, too.

It's quite simple. The Chiefs were the potential opponent that matched up best with the Patriots. If you understood football at all, you would get that. Attacking me won't change that.

 

Because Al Riveron.

 

Apparently that was Taylor on his own on a rpo. He's a terrible decision maker to go along with his terrible throwing

 

Saw that a while back. We all got to see him today with fellow special-teams ace Shamarko Thomas.

 

Looked like MCoy out of the backfield was effectivel....I would expect Bell to be even more so. I know Ben isn't super mobile anymore but I can see some designed roll outs throwing them off. They have real good corners but let's see them defend us in some designed scramble drills. Also McDonald could be a huge weapon...

 

The Jaguars have two very good cornerbacks, but they also rely on getting pressure with four. The Steelers will have to pass protect well and Roethlisberger will have to make good decisions. He can't go back to rushing throws and forcing things to Brown as he did early in the season. Bryant or Smith-Schuster will have a favorable match-up on just about every play. Mix those types of throws in with Bell and they should be able to move the ball better than they did in the first meeting.

It's not going to be easy, but it's a game the Steelers can win if they take care of the ball and play smarter than they did the first time around. It would also be helpful if the defense doesn't prop up Bortles the way it did for Kizer last week.

 

That was not the starting defense last week.

 

They sat one starter. Sure, Heyward is a beast, but his replacement in the lineup sacked Kizer twice and they still got lit up by that scrub.

 

Whatever.

Check back in in two weeks.

 

Agree. Unless Brady has a bad day, which is highly unlikely... Patriots will have that game won by 3rd quarter.

 

If by some miracle, the Titans upset the Patriots and Steelers beat Jaguars... Tomlin needs to make mandatory viewing of the January '95 AFC Championship game vs. Chargers. The whole team needs to watch that game in it's entirety. That was the worst playoff loss in Steelers history. Tebow debacle don't hold a candle to that defeat.

 

I hope the pats are thinking the same thing and overlook titans as just another easy win and lebeau throws some stuff at brady he cant handle, dont count the titans out just yet, after all they beat the jags twice this season..........

 

Maybe some has mentioned this already, but it seems clear that Fournette has hit the rookie wall- it was even brought during the game using some of his own comments as evidence. On the other hand, I hate running Qbs against the Steelers because they do well racking up yards on them. So, I hope they can get a good hit on Bortles early, enough to make him a little run shy.

 

You think it was bad there? You should have been here in San Diego! My brother and Nephew still bring that game up to me. It's all they've got. I just remind them of what happened in their next game!!

 

That was 23 years ago and I'm still pissed off.

 

That loss was a colossal waste. The offense was terrible in that game... no excuse with the weapons they had at the time: Foster, Thigpen, Green, above average O-line, etc. The D gave up one big pass and it was enough to send SD to the Super Bowl.
