Divisional Round Gamethread

[Mystic Merlin]

Slightly surprised they're not testing the Jags run D - their only relative weakness - early on.

 

[The Celtbot]

Love it....

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Great tackle by Telvin Smith.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Rogers may have had that before the last zag

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

This could be a glorious day.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Chippy early

 

[brandonchristensen]

Nice D

 

[Al Zarilla]

Too many cuts, Rogers.

 

[Jnai]

Felt like he had the first and took an extra cut

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Containing the YAC for their secondary/tertiary receivers will be big - JAX answers the bell on the first drive.

 

[McBride11]

Pouncey just shouldered the ref out of the way during that scrum...

 

[snowmanny]

I think Rodgers made one more cut than necessary and it cost him

 

[Sportsbstn]

If Rogers just runs straight it’s a first or very close

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Helluva a tackle right there.

 

[Oppo]

Pouncey doing Hernandez proud

 

[Sportsbstn]

The Steelers defense is complete shit.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Jags look great so far

 

[staz]

Chippy! Chippy!

 

[Bowhemian]

Steelers chippy early in the game. surprising (not really)

 

[Deathofthebambino]

The Steelers defense is complete shit.

If Bortles doesn't make any mistakes, and just makes the easy throws that he needs to make, it's going to be very, very hard for Pittsburgh to win this game.

 

[dcmissle]

Chippy early

They are going to the “AFC North” kool aid early. Jax having none of it but must keep composure.

[The Celtbot]

The jags couldn't have asked for better motivation this week.

 

[bagwell1]

I love how so many teams (well, the dumb ones) continue to throw, throw, throw, against the best pass defense in the NFL.

 

[rymflaherty]

The Steelers are a shitty team when they forget they have Bell.

I said it half kidding yesterday, but now I actually expect the Pats run to be Titans, Jags, Eagles...murderers row of stud QB’s there.

 

[SumnerH]

Is BlaBo OK?

 

[brandonchristensen]

BACK TO BACK REMATCH

 

[mostman]

Anyone who needs to kill a little time, they have an excellent 16-minute game-recap video of Eagles-Falcons up on NFL.com. Every play that mattered on every drive.

That’s great. What stands out is how much Atlanta just collapsed in the last two minutes of each half. I watched the whole game and the crazy nature of the last two two minutes of the first half made it hard to realize how pivotal that Eagles FG was.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

Ummmm, do we really want Jags to win?

P. S. Yes, just to see tears dry on Mike Mitchell's face.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Haha bort gonna bort

 

[snowmanny]

Oh my jesus

 

[DJnVa]

Could announcer really not tell he threw that? Relax dude.

 

[McBride11]

That was an incomplete pass not a fumble

I don’t want any part of Brees

 

[PedroKsBambino]

That was a throw. But not a smart one.

 

[dcmissle]

This could be Steelers matchup from hell. Could be.

Bortles is weak link and could cost them the game.

 

[DJnVa]

Reminiscent of the tuck rule? WTF?

 

[DeadlySplitter]

wew, close

 

[Sportsbstn]

Thats a pass

 

[InstaFace]

lazy sunday, wake up in the late afternoon
call Parnell just to see how he's doin'
...because he's laying the wood in the middle of a scrum

 

[Al Zarilla]

He didn’t lose it, he passed it.

 

[shawnrbu]

The Tuck Rule? Fouts is drunk.

 

[Toe Nash]

in a fair world that would be grounding, but i guess the RB was sorta close.

 

[SumnerH]

That was a stud run.

 

[Soxy]

Hurns needs to catch that.

Eh, guess not, on replay. Bad throw.

 

[DJnVa]

in a fair world that would be grounding, but i guess the RB was sorta close.

Considering it essentially hit Fournette, I'd say so. No way that's grounding.

 

[Al Zarilla]

The Tuck Rule? Fouts is drunk.

Brain damaged I think.

 

[Sportsbstn]

bad throw and catch

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Bortles had bad ball placement there - Burns actually deflected it, not sure how that's on Hurns.

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

Fouts needs to get the Simms pasture treatment soon.
