    I'll take it. If Ben gets up for that game I'm sure he will have a good outing. I'm more worried about our run defense in that game.

    How about Ben wanting another shot at the pats? Does he or he doesn't? If Ben is more worried about the jax than pats something tells me he is not sooo pumped up in meeting the pats again ....is beating the jax the only thing that matters to Ben?

    I think hes more focused on the next game rather than looking ahead.

    He was asked a question in an interview and answered it. That's all - It really doesn't go any deeper than that.

    Heck yeah! If Ben is speaking out and specifically calling for a team, I trust he'll kill it.

    Since we'll likely be playing them first, yes!

    Clearly Jesse James should be learning from you how to reach.

    Ben was asked who he wants to play in the DIVISIONAL ROUND!

    Can they face the Patriots in the divisional round? No!

    Also, just because he wants another shot at the Jaguars doesn't mean he doesn't want another shot at the Patriots as well. You have to take one game at a time.

    Out of the 3 games we lost this season, 2 of those teams are in the playoffs. I'm pretty sure he wants another shot at the Pats too!

    Some of you guys are way too literal when it comes to what it is that you read and get your panties all in a bunch instead of using common sense.

    Correct me if I am wrong but didn't Tomlin looked ahead to the pats game 3 games before facing them ?

    We were playing our best of the season before this two week layoff. Jags not so much. They got to get by the Bills and their loss of momentum could set them up for failure.

    I kind of hope Ben gets his wish. If Bills win, NE gets another bye week.

    There he is opening his big mouth again. He did the same thing at the beginning of season when he said they would average 30 points per game. Other teams Defense's have ears.

    No doubt he would like a 2nd chance to play better.

    I’m happy he feels that way. Bring on the Jags. People were judging his want to play period in the middle of the season. Now he says give me the Jags.

    All I will say is he better bring it because Jacksonville will be full of confidence coming into Pittsburgh. They have nothing to lose and made Ben see ghosts last time.

    Relax. He was asked a question and gave an answer. Jeez, Maybe he should have diverted the playoff question and responded with an answer about the Bears loss.:rolleyes:

    He's a competitor. He lost to the Jags. He wants some get-back. I have no problems with this.

    He should want the Road to the big game to come thru Pittsburgh .The best way for that to happen is for the Jags to get beat this week.

    Are you suggesting the Bills have a shot at knocking off the Pats?

    What are you talking about? If the Jags lose, the Pats face Buffalo. Otherwise they most likely get KC.

    No there’s just no possible way we can play the Pats next week.

    Lmao. Yeah, I still think the Chiefs have a better shot at knocking off the Pats in Foxborough. Because, well, they did already once this year. Not to mention they are a far more talented team than the McCoy-less Bills.

    Smh.

    If they are thinking about loading the box and force Bortles to try to beat us, it would be a risky bet.
    Difficult, considering no Shazier and our recent issues with the deep ball.

    If you remember our game against Jax, we had a 9-7 lead before the first pick 6.

    After that:
    13-9 (pick 6)
    20-9 (pick 6)
    23-9 (after a long drive, they reached our 30- yardline and were stopped for a FG)
    30-9 (fournette 90 yard run)

    Our defensive gameplan seemed to work. Just can't win a game where you give the ball away 5 times (and 2 of them pick 6), while settling for FGs.
    Our three FGs were after our drives stalled at their 11, 16 and 2 yardline respectively.
