[BobDigital]

Who had 45 to 42 Jags winning?

Update: I'm eating some saltines and feel better. Thanks for a fun game thread, my dudes.

The reverse jinx had to be done. The Steelers luck was long overdue to run out.

 

[DefenseRules]

Prepare yourselves to hear that the Jaguars are tougher they have a younger more hungry QB and are the Cinderella story of the NFL. Everyone will root for them. oh well it is what it is. The o-line better come to play next week.

 

[LightSkinSmurf]

The jags likely won't be a cake walk but could you ask for a better road to the SB? Beat the titans and a bortles lead offense.

 

[patchick]

What a great weekend of football so far. Yes Patriots, No Falcons, No Steelers. The only downside is that there's nobody left standing who I'd actively root against!

 

[TbSB5]

LOL. How the hell do you give up 40 points to the Jaguars? Yeah they're good, but come on...this had Patriots/Steelers rematch written all over. What a disgraceful performance by the Steelers. All their guys are healthy, and they still got pounded. Tomlin is a garbage coach.

Oh man, I can't wait for another Monday meltdown by Nick Wright tomorrow. First his Chiefs lose, now his "the best team in the AFC" loses. Tomorrow is like a second Xmas.

Never look past your opponent...

That was the worst pair of onside kicks I've ever seen.

They had to score on the last onside, not just recover. Kick deep and hope for a muff

Tomlin sacked in the morning?

I can't wait for Antonio Brown to live stream the post game speech.

If I was coaching Pitt, I would kick the FG with +- 1 m remaining, since they were decently close and try getting onside kick aftwards (which I would have practiced during bye week, just in case), then I'd try the TD.

but hey, Tomlin is the pro

I bet Belichick has a play for this.

Tomlin, not so much

We had a play when I was in high school.
We would have a guy facing the kicker standing next to the ball and dropping his hands like a go signal (I dint think anyone does that any more)
We would have him spin around and kick a 10-15 yard pop up toward the sidelines. The second man in(me) would pummel the guy, usually a lineman, it was kicked toward while the outside guy would catch it in the air.
Worked a few times.

Tomlin sacked in the morning?

He really should be, he made an incredible number of poor decisions today - both himself and Haley. Not to mention the clear lack of preparation for this week and focusing on NE before they even got there.

 

[WaterfallJumper]

I know that some will use this game as prove that Jax's defense is overrated, but I don't think this way...

They were up by 2 TDs most of the game, playing very vanilla for a good deal of the 2nd half. Their lack of discipline also contribuited for it, IMO.

Next week is gonna be a battle. Luckily, we have the GOAT with us

Eh, they gave up 44 to Jimmy G, and 42 to Big Ben. They didn't exactly play any great quarterbacks (other than Wilson) in the season. Even Mariota put up 37 against them. They're not as good as people think.

Also, we opened the preseason against them. It's only fitting that they end their postseason against us.

Should have kicked it deep the first time and they would have tied it.
