David DeCastro on team's pregame obsession with Patriots: It's Steeler-ish
it's over todayJagoffs have only beat 1 team with a winning record- The Squealers. Tennessee is beeter than the Jags. Over before 4th quarter.
Straw Man Arguments work well though if the other debater is ill prepared or does not understand what you are trying to do to them. (You obviously do understand it though)No, we’re not going to do this today. I in no way changed the argument. My argument was always that they were the better match up than the Steelers citing the defense. Your reading comprehension is either woefully off (unlikely) or you just wanted to argue out of boredom (likely). Either way, you couldn’t argue that so you tossed in the obligatory straw man by trying to argue (hence “change the argument”) that I was saying the Jags would win. Unless you can cite that post, it’s a straw man and the debate was already over. You also can’t answer those three questions that I posed for good reason. Like I said, a white flag over bombed-out rubble. If you want to simply “agree to disagree” then be my guest.
There are still idiots in this thread who refuse to acknowledge that the Steelers would have been the significantly easier match up?
Yikes.
Pats will roll the Jags, but a game against Pittsburgh would have been won by 30+ points.
Props to you, Mr. DeCastro.
It still baffles me why people think Tomlin is such a great coach. There is no discipline on that team and it shows up on game-day.
No.
I said they were a better matchup for us. You argued that bortles was as good as manning in his Sb run.
Then you changed it to a defensive matchup.
The Steelers has us beaten if they held on to a pass. That’s a tough matchup.
The jags won’t come close. End of story.
They’re definitely a tougher match-up.
Nah. Pittsburgh would have a chance to score enough to have a chance. Jacksonville has already lost. Blake bortles isn’t beating belichick. Especially the current version of bortles who will be afraid the maje the throws B.B. dares him to.
Eli wasn’t beating Belichick either. Then DL dry humped Brady on the other side. The Jags match up better. The Steelers blew their wad, at home, against our D-Squad and still lost. They would have gotten smoked.
I was clearly talking about winning or losing.Again... lol. My first post on the subject...
Your response...
My response...
I was clearly talking about their defense when addressing how they match up in this game.
From the get go. Again, you know this. Unless you were under the mistaken impression that offense was Jacksonville's calling card all year long and not the defense, I think that should have been clear. The Giants in 2007 had the same blueprint.
I thought you were CLEARLY only talking about the defense.Eli was a worse quarterback in 2007 than Bortles was in 2017.
They present an easier matchup because they are impotent on offense and B.B. will exploit it.Both guys have lived and died on their defense going into their respective games against the Patriots. The Jags present a tougher match-up because they have the ability to rush Brady with four down linemen, drop seven into coverage, and have two outstanding outside corners.
Pittsburgh was a routine catch from beating us. That is a bigger threat than Jacksonville, and that’s not even debatable. But in 6 days we will know. If Jacksonville is inside our 10 with a chance to win or bets us you were right. When the game is a much easier win that Pittsburgh was I will be.The Steelers defense, on the other hand, couldn't stop the same quarterback that you're maligning in this thread from putting up 38 points against them at home. They showed no ability to stop the run or the pass when it mattered. Against Brady, with a full compliment of weapons and more time to study the different coverage concepts that Butler spent the offseason prepping for him, they would have gotten killed. None of this is even remotely debatable, which is why you're dying on a street corner in this thread and which is why you've yet to answer three relatively simple questions posed to you and have instead tried to turn this into a semantics debate by constructing a very flimsy straw man that was easily picked apart.
Has anyone else noticed a trend on those boards??
*before yesterday *
O YEA NEXT TIME IN GILLETTE WILL BE DIFFERENT, WE GET AB BACK AND WERE GONNA BEAT THOSE CHEATERS
*today*
WELL LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE EVEN IF WE FOUND A WAY TO WIN WE WOULD HAVE JUST GOTTEN EMBARRASSED IN FOXBORO
That’s not correct.Jagoffs have only beat 1 team with a winning record- The Squealers. Tennessee is beeter than the Jags. Over before 4th quarter.
Yeah, it’s well known that Joker’s brother is a Steelers fan. They go hard.
