Hope it's a high ankle sprain.

 

[johnmd20]

Fournette hurt is a major issue.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Ohhhhh

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Getting JAX without Fournette would be...something.

 

[bluefenderstrat]

Uh oh.

 

[Rico Guapo]

Ankle?

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Yeldon has issues with holding onto the ball.

 

[Boston Brawler]

Oh shit Fournette

 

[Ed Hillel]

Ankle or knee?

 

[dcmissle]

This Fournette injury is very unfortunate. He breathes and gets 3 yards

 

[Sportsbstn]

good drive

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Good God. Betting that Jacksonville wish they didn't scratch Ivory for this one now.

A curious decision is now an awful decision

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Ankle or knee?

Ankle /foot. He was screaming in pain and having trouble putting weight on it.

 

[johnmd20]

Yeldon has issues with holding onto the ball.

Yeldon has issues, period.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

With Fournette down would be big to get 3 on this drive to make it back to a three-possession game

 

[glennhoffmania]

Was that OPI? How often is it called?

Amazing catch but if that's Gronk they call OPI right?

Of course. Because there's a massive conspiracy against Gronk.

 

[Dogman]

Fournette is done. That looks like non-contact ACL.

 

[Red Averages]

Less Bortles please.

 

[InstaFace]

I've seen punters hit tighter spirals than that deep ball.

 

[Couperin47]

If Jags hold on to win with Fournette gone, it's a sign from God

 

[johnmd20]

Fournette is done. That looks like non-contact ACL.

No, it's his ankle. What are you watching?

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

WTF is he talking about? That was a GREAT play by Haden

 

[Ed Hillel]

Fournette is done. That looks like non-contact ACL.

Yeah, I agree, looks more like a knee.

 

[pokey_reese]

With Fournette down would be big to get 3 on this drive to make it back to a three-possession game

 

[Reverend]

When BB saw that the Pittsburgh game was first today, is there any doubt he said to himself "perfect, an extra three hours to prepare for our opponent."

I can't be the only one who thought this.

Brady gets to learn his opponent before he goes to bed.

 

[The Needler]

Fouts is insane. Jumping too soon? It was a perfect defensive effort.

 

[Dogman]

No, it's his ankle. What are you watching?

Ed Hillel's TV

 

[Al Zarilla]

Even a FG here would be good.

 

[Sportsbstn]

huge play

 

[SumnerH]

With Fournette down would be big to get 3 on this drive to make it back to a three-possession game

Even better: get 7, hold on to win, and have Jax come into Foxborough without Fournette.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Steelers are going to win aren't they?

 

[InstaFace]

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.

...You may have been asking too much...

 

[Mystic Merlin]

lol Bortles

 

[DJnVa]

Bortles just choked that one.

Jax defense needs to step up.

 

[johnmd20]

AWFUL pass by Bort there. Sphincters already tightening due to Fournette getting hurt.

 

[Sportsbstn]

thats the shitty Blake Bortles

 

[heavyde050]

I've seen punters hit tighter spirals than that deep ball.

I think Bortles calls that one the "wobbly duck"

 

[dcmissle]

Steelers are going to win aren't they?

Maybe. But we’ll be able to run and screen them to death.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

That’s why we want Jacksonville.

20 inch cathode ray tube? I tip my cap to you, sir.

Well, yeah, sure...I was saying an enabler of getting the last two was getting at least some points this drive. Which bb failed to do, of course.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Steelers are going to win aren't they?

Yes. It's their season in a nutshell.

With the play clock down to 1, the Jags should have just blown another timeout. That play was too important, and Bortles rushed everything from the snap to the throw.

 

[moondog80]

Bortles sucks. Steelers win this game if they score 27 points.

 

[MuppetAsteriskTalk]

Great so they net like 10 yards on the punt after the penalty?

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Bortles and the play clock 4eva.

 

[Sportsbstn]

The Steelers may allow 40 to the Patriots, their defense is that bad

 

[Dogman]

20 inch cathode ray tube? I tip my cap to you, sir.

On the replay, it looked like on Fournette's spin move his knee buckled just before the tackle.

I may well be wrong, I just saw his knee go two different directions.

 

[dcmissle]

Jags need a hold here. Get to half up 14 or at least 11

 

[Deathofthebambino]

The Steelers may allow 40 to the Patriots, their defense is that bad

Problem is their offense is good enough to score 40. I think every Pats fan should want the Jags to win this game. I don't have any reason to believe the Pats offense can't score 20+ against anyone. I'll take my chances with 20+ against this Jags offense versus our defense.
