Nice play design

 

[staz]

JAX 10 BUF 3 seems like 4 months ago

 

[dcmissle]

Paint by the numbers. No fancy shit with the kickoff. Play the prevent quick score

 

[Ale Xander]

So, put Jack in front of AB, keep Boyee behind him, and a safety over the top?

 

[foulkehampshire]

Patriots could destroy Bortles with their revitalized pass rush. Not very scared of this team with a gimpy Fournette at all.

 

[McBride11]

So that Hyundai LOVES his terrible towel sooo much he kept it buried and lost in his trunk huh?

 

[BigSoxFan]

Do we really want to play this prolific Jags offense?!

 

[Deathofthebambino]

I wish it was, but I doubt this is over yet. I've seen Pitt pull too much shit out of their asses this year to count them out yet. 2 minute td, kick away, use timeouts, get the ball back with 2 minutes left, td, overtime. That's the map.

 

[Ed Hillel]

OK now I’m scared of Jax next week. Big time.

Was it Bortles hitting the 50% mark?

 

[Sportsbstn]

JAX 10 BUF 3 seems like 4 months ago

San Fran annihilating the Jags does too. But it’s all in what this Jags team is

 

[shawnrbu]

So Tomlin's out, right? The fanbase thoroughly hates the guy. This seals his fate.

Great landing spot for Josh.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

i'm not so sure that was the best result. Another first down in bounds and a field goal almost would have been better. Make the Steelers burn a couple of time outs and get it down to three minutes or so.

Maybe six of one, half dozen of another, but with the Steelers scoring as fast as they have and three time outs there's still some meat on this bone.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Buffalo has a defense

Yes, but a 32 point delta? Whatta game.

 

[Pandemonium67]

"Jags have 96.7% win probability"

OK, now I'll buy it.

 

[Harry Hooper]

 

[TheoShmeo]

Sadly, Jax could still screw this up.

 

[eustis22]

I can't believe the jags scored 42 points in a single game

No way, the TD is way way better.

 

[NortheasternPJ]

Why field that kick?

 

[loshjott]

Was it Bortles hitting the 50% mark?

I’m scared every week.

This.

It's far from over.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

Steel Curtain

...made of warm tofu.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Is that what the Giants are waiting for?

Or Josh?

 

[pokey_reese]

Ben basically has to throw a pick on this drive, trying to rush to get two TDs.

 

[Ed Hillel]

I’m scared every week.

Fair.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Extra bonus: Jags had to show that great play this week!

 

[dcmissle]

So, put Jack in front of AB, keeo Boyee behind him, and a safety over the top?

And spy Bell.

 

[ngruz25]

The Steelers have to chuck the ball downfield. This is easy to defend. This should not be hard, Jax.

 

[snowmanny]

You know, this could be the last we see of Roethlisberger.

 

[uncannymanny]

 

[grsharky7]

Wow....tons of yellow seats. The diehard yinzer Steeler fans throwing in the terrible towel?

 

[bosockboy]

So Tomlin's out, right? The fanbase thoroughly hates the guy. This seals his fate.

For a team with 3 head coaches since the Johnson administration, probably not.

 

[nothumb]

fouts actually managed a really coherent and heartfelt thought about k jackson.

Yeah, difficult to sell that when you get beat twice in one season, both at home.

 

[DJnVa]

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

Pereira on twitter basically said Romo needs to brush up on rules.

 

[Kliq]

I can’t get over the playcall. Every set of downs for the entire game it was run on first and second, throw on third but only if necessary. Then as they are about to put it away and settle for a FG to go up two scores, they run the PA with the FB bluffing a tackle and running up the seam. I have to hand it to Bortles, they made him beat them and he delivered.

 

[Jnai]

There's still time here.

 

[BaseballJones]

So are we now more afraid of Jacksonville again? Now that they've just hung 42 on the Steelers in Pittsburgh in 17 degree temps?

 

[Catcher Block]

That CB blitzed like it was his first time.

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

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

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

Steelers mighty defense isn't pressuring Bortles

And THIS is why I’m not afraid of either team.

 

[edmunddantes]

Hurry up Steelers. Doh. Injury hurts. Is this late enough to cost a TO?

 

[snowmanny]

View attachment 19287

That's great

 

[grsharky7]

if 89 for for Pittsburgh can get this many balls.....how many will Gronk get next week if the Jags hold on?

 

[ngruz25]

Wait is that not a TO?

 

[pokey_reese]

That's a fake injury to stop the clock if I ever saw one.

 

[Ralphwiggum]

Please someone ask Tomlin about looking ahead to the Pats in the post-game.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

For a team with 3 head coaches since the Johnson administration, probably not.

Tomlin definitely will not be out.

Haley most likely. Which means Pitt's problematic area won't really get fixed next year either.

 

[Sportsbstn]

Looks like a hamstring

 

[Brand Name]

So Tomlin's out, right? The fanbase thoroughly hates the guy. This seals his fate.

Steelers haven't fired a head coach since Bill Austin in 1968. That'd be rather unlikely.

 

[luckiestman]

Willie, is that you?
