Divisional Round Gamethread

[Ale Xander]

Antonio Brown is better than Julio Jones on all downs

 

[Ralphwiggum]

If we are supposed to be so afraid of the Jags D, should we be petrified of wha the Steeler offense is doing against them?

 

[foulkehampshire]

Jesus Christ unfuckingreal

And that is why I want nothing to do with Pittsburgh.

 

[GoDa]

Bouye had a fist full of Brown's jersey the entire way down the field. No flags?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

I mean, is anyone afraid of EITHER of these teams?

Uhh, yeah, terrified of the Steelers. Are you seeing these plays? It is so hard to get off the field against them.

 

[8slim]

That TD ain't gonna help your cause, slim.

I feel the hate flowing through me.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

each of their last 3 TDs have been critical downs, perfect or near-perfect passes, and elite catching skills on the other end

 

[patinorange]

That’s a very bold statement.

Not really. And he probably won't get the chance.

 

[OurF'ingCity]

Yeah, Bouye has to get leverage there and get Brown between himself and the sideline.

 

[Brand Name]

Don't get me wrong, I want to face the Jags. But isn't this kind of an ideal outcome to have a high scoring affair? Both teams are letting out a big chunk of their playbook and how to beat them, on an external level that can be implemented/points of focal practice this week. Find this personally especially important in a copycat league like this one.

 

[grsharky7]

What can you do there?

Get one of those floating ducks that Ben has thrown about 5 times today that fall harmlessly to the turf. Great catch by AB, couldn't do much there. But the play before they had a shot

 

[rodderick]

I mean, is anyone afraid of EITHER of these teams?

Yeah, Ben and Brown can come into Foxborough and win a shootout.

 

[ngruz25]

Okay 8 minute TD drive please.

 

[Dollar]

Now here's the question... would you rather play against the Jags, with Fouts announcing, or the Steelers with Romo on the broadcast?

 

[Kliq]

First things is Jags tipped two passes on back-to-back plays and couldn't come down with either.

Second, Bouye didn't have great coverage there Fouts he let Brown get inside leverage and that's where the ball went.

Exactly, Ben is playing with a horseshoe up his ass. However, he could have thrown that anywhere in the end zone and Brown would had the position on Bouye.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

Bortles about to get Bortled. Not feeling good about this, guys.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Bouye has to be stronger on that play.

Should have been flagged. Even if you're letting the boys play, he had ahold of Brown for a long time before the catch.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Antonio Brown is very very good. Not sure there's a CB in the league who doesn't get beat there. Bouye probably should just drag him down and take the penalty, but it was a great route, great throw, great catch.

 

[heavyde050]

Now here's the question... would you rather play against the Jags, with Fouts announcing, or the Steelers with Romo on the broadcast?

Is the mute button broken?

 

[wilked]

Okay 8 minute TD drive please.

I’ll take a 4 min FG

 

[DonBuddinE6]

I don't understand how you can rush 4 and have just single coverage on 84.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Time for a clock-killing FG drive for Jax. C'mon Jaguars...surprise me

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

If we are supposed to be so afraid of the Jags D, should we be petrified of wha the Steeler offense is doing against them?

Let's flip this - I get you are saying that the Patriots should prefer one team to the other. But the idea that one team or the other is a joke is silly imho. Next week's AFCG isn't likely to be decided by two TDs, regardless of which QB or defense faces New England in Foxborough.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Onside?

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

Jags need to burn some time and get a punt off, at least.

 

[pokey_reese]

long drive to FG once again has to be the goal...

 

[Jnai]

4net got nothing right now

 

[Sportsbstn]

Fournette has no burst

 

[dcmissle]

Onside?

No need. 8 mind an eternity

 

[foulkehampshire]

Time for a clock-killing FG drive for Jax. C'mon Jaguars...surprise me

Can they do that with a diminished Fournette?

 

[TheoShmeo]

No burst. He should not be in the game.

 

[patinorange]

I don't understand how you can rush 4 and have just single coverage on 84.

There are some serious coaching deficiencies in the game. But it does make for some entertainment.

 

[ngruz25]

Hmm well a 1 minute three and out works too.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

The idea of throwing deep last drive isn't wrong---Pitt is, understandably, packing the box.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

Two men on Brown if Pitt comes to town, with McCourty and Butler sandwiching him.

 

[Boston Brawler]

Fuck yeah!

 

[ngruz25]

YUGE

 

[johnmd20]

Yeldon has been huge today! Huge.

 

[MuppetAsteriskTalk]

Yes, nice play.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Stay in bounds

 

[Cellar-Door]

BTW, if PIT plays like this against us they put up 50.

Of course if their D plays like this we might get 60

 

[wilked]

Why would Weldon walk out of bounds there? Dumb

Edit to add - oh clock still running

 

[snowmanny]

Thank god for the Steelios D

 

[InstaFace]

Fairness to BlaBo: that was a better pass there than his rep would suggest.

 

[Sportsbstn]

Lol the Steelers defense is sooo bad

 

[Catcher Block]

Keep Yeldon in.

 

[staz]

Nice toss there Blake

 

[grsharky7]

Jacksonville answers the Bell again big play!

 

[pokey_reese]

Yeldon, go down IN BOUNDS

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Steelers mighty defense isn't pressuring Bortles
