Bortles had like 90 yards passing, only threw it 14 times, Fournette had big stats, but remember he only like 80 yards, averaging under 4ypc, up until that last play where he went for 90 yards.

Ben had 5 picks, but at least 3 of those were fluky, both pick 6's were tipped right to Jag players. One of those picks were in FG range, so Jax scored 17 points on defense, so that's 13 offensive points, and 7 of those came when we were stacking the line on a 3rd down trying to get a stop.

Bell, Bryant, or JuJu weren't up to speed yet, we didn't do much no huddle yet.

Fournette is on record as saying he hates the cold and hates being cold, hell he's played in one sub 30 degree game and he was held under 70 yards.

Thought they have regressed as a O toward the end of the season. Solid D, but the Steelers have the talent to counter that. Should be a fun game to watch.

HOMEFIELD and cold, .......................................................Huge Advantage STEELERS +5
Our D against their O...........................................................Neutral or them +12
Our O against their D...........................................................Positive or us. +16
Their D.................................................................................+9
Our D....................................................................................+3


Jag-offs.......................21
STEELERS.................24




I see us with a little more than that 27-31 points. They aren't going to get the 5 turn overs and I see them with
a little less as around 17 points.

Bortles just had 87 yards passing which resulted in a playoff win. It wasn't a fluke game against us (aside from Ben having a few unfortunate interceptions)...that's how the Jags have been winning all season. And frankly you don't need your QB to throw for 200+ yards when you're holding teams to single digit points, which they have done 7 times this season.

Hopefully Haley and Tomlin wise up and decide to run the ball this game since that's their weakness on D. Last time we threw 55 times and resulted in 5 picks...didn't work out very well. Tennessee beat them twice this year and Mariota had 55 pass attempts in both games combined. Every single team to beat the Jags this season ran the ball at least 31 times. We ran it 20 times and 1 was a scramble by Ben for 1 yard.

Run the ball 30+ times, force Bortles to beat you and we win. It's pretty simple actually. It doesn't take Ernie Adams to figure out their weakness.
 
Fluky crap happens when we play the jags. If we play man we have to worry about bortles running on us. We need to stack the box and stop the run and hope our DBs hold. Its concerning what kizer did last game even though we had some backups in. We also had some other bad QBs have good games against us. Bortles has some talent and can get streaky. I do not see this being an easy game for us. If the offense takes what is given we should be ok.

That D was coasting against the browns, as in playing down looking ahead.They will be ready.

But yeah stack against the run and make Bortles beat you passing. On O stay away from Ramsey. And a lot of run mixed in with some Juju and Bryant and Antonio. Ramsey can't be everywhere at once. There will be some chances for big plays if you play action pass off the run.

I used to think it was just Rasheen Mathis, but Ben loves to throw to the Jags for some reason.

I've never felt a witch's tit but I have felt a tit that turned into a witch, and I'm pretty sure it was cold.+++

The reason Kizer and Hundley gave us trouble is because we used 2DL with zone coverage so much it gave them all day and allowed them to step forward and run. That's why we need 3 DL alot Sunday and play a little like we used to with our Dline, not go all out to get to Bortles, but stay in their lanes and contain him in pocket.

The one thing Ben and the receivers need to do is double move and a pump fake. The last play against the Bills Ramsey totally went for the first stutter step the receiver did on that curl route. I’d have AB or whoever is on him do a few one cuts to see if he bites hard right away or not. Then set him up for a double move over the top.

IF we lose to the Jags then we need to blow this team up. I also don't want to hear any excuses about AB not being up to full speed or Shazier not playing. With the talent and weapons we have on offense and defense outside of those two players is MORE than enough to beat the Jaguars. AB could sit on Sunday and I would still expect to beat them.

yeah we should blow this team up if they lose

you are out of your rabbit *** mind

a championship caliber team you tweak not "blow up"

the idea is to get better not worse

He'll be on AB for sure, although I'm not 100% sure AB is 100%

There is enough talent around AB, in this game you don't force it to him. You spread it around and use AB as a decoy.

I would screen it to Bell a lot, as well as run it, and see if Juju and Bryant could do some damage in 3 WR sets.

I agree, I think slants and crossing routes trying to get the coverages lost in the wash.

Hope Le'Veon is ready.. he's going to be the star on Sunday
 
so the Jags' weakness defensively is their run defense and short pass d.
offensively, their weakness is Bortles passing.

quite obviously, we're going to come out throwing deep on the first three plays.
we're also going to drop our safeties 20-25 yards off the LOS.

obviously.

I forgot about him. Always seemed like he knew exactly what Ben was thinking.
 
I think they came into the Burgh...punched the bully in the mouth, and bloodied our lip..

30-9 is 30-9 men...not matter how you try to spin it.
 
our game plan was fine up to the two pick 6's. That ***** up any game plan. Especially, when you follow it up by 3 more INT's.
