Our defense ****** us today

Not completely. We are a 30 point team. Everyone knew the plan. Protect teh football, take what they give you and put up your points. We came out unprepared and Ben tanked us to a 14 point deficit immediately. He did well afterwards,,,,and yes the D could have stepped up a time or two, Tomlin could have trusted them and not onside kicked....there could have been a key stop or two....this was a team loss. Really it came down to coming out flat and being the playoffs where you can;t make up the ground with talent that we did all the rest of teh season.
 
this like opening a thread that says the sky is blue
 
not a SB caliber D. Mitchell needs to be replaced. And with Shazier gone, he will need replaced too. I think Watt hit the rookie wall, and Dupree , not a great season.

The Jags O-line completely man-handled the Steelers front 7 from the opening play to the end. Completely pathetic play Defensively!

That was sad and pathetic. Not much blitzing today either. 4 men did not get it done. Blake ******* bortles had all day to throw. It's just sad.

Dupree and Williams are JAGs, they still haven't found anyone remotely close to replacing big snack and the only reason I see Mitchell playing over Golden is because of his contract, There are a lot of holes to fill and the window is all but shut.

Not even close. They've drafted like **** on defense one too many years. Shazier was by far the best guy in that group and now he's gone.
 
We gave them 14 on turnovers but overall the D was awful.

Where was Tuitt all season???

Tuuuuuuit? Tuuuuuit? Tuuuuuit? Tuuuuuit? -Ben Stein
 
D couldn’t stop anything today. It was a complete defensive meltdown. Ben played like Ben after he had to play playground ball. He was great today minus the fumble. INT not on him. It was a good d play. Our defense was weak and pathetic today.

Not a single defensive player stepped up to make a big play today. Absolutely pathetic effort and game plan.

I know th D sucked most of the game..but I still kick the ball and force Ajax to go down the field on us again. 2 time outs and a 2 minute warning. We could have forced a turned over or punt and given Ben a chance.

Instead we gave then a FG and the game. Just very bad decision making all game.

I would have rather lost in another big play trying, then to go for a horrible onside kick and give them a FG and 2 scoRe lead.
