Game Thread W5 - Pittsburgh V Jacksonville (1 Viewer)

[Sigmund Bloom]

Here we go - Garrard kills us if we blitz because there's no containment, and if we don't he'll pick us apart.

This game is going end up something like 35-34

ETA: The Steelers are so much better on 3rd and short than they are on 3rd and long...

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Lucky a#@%# on that. Keep floating those up like that, Dave, and the Steelers can return the Mathis favor.

 

[biggamer3]

is that MJD down?

 

[yinzer]

Who has the biggest calves? that David Garrard. Thats why hes so tough to bring down

Best sequence of the night

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Can anyone tell me what that grunt-like chant the JAX crowd keeps doing?!?Sounds like 'who dey, who dey, who dey' but this would be the first time Ive heard of a team stealing something beneficial from the Bungals

They are repeating "move those chains" on first downs.

 

[Sheriff66]

Should ahve been a hold on Woodley right there, Jones raped him.

 

[IGKYA!!!]

is that MJD down?

 

[joffer]

not sure why you don't try for the FG there. Scobee has that range.

 

[moose162]

NFL.com said MJD doubtful to return..what happened?

 

[MOAT]

is that MJD down?

What happened?

 

[yinzer]

Is it just me, or had McFadden become a better corner tha Ike?

I loved Ike a couple years ago, but has definitely underwhelmed last year and this year so far

Im not saying that makes McFadden a pro-bowler, but he is a FA after this year, and apparently he and Rosenhaus thinks hes worth $$$$

I think he just might be our best longterm CB right now

Sparined ######

Thought the same thingJags gettin a little scared about winning this one?!?

 

[5-ish Finkle]

NOW the Steelers are in full on turtle mode.

 

[Sheriff66]

Sprained right ankle

 

[yinzer]

Those 32 yard Berger punts really make our coverage look good

 

[Sheriff66]

Jags return guy is just begging to cough the ball up.

 

[The Ref]

NOW the Steelers are in full on turtle mode.

I don't get the Steelers at all. Last week they played it close to the vest for te first half and couln't move the ball. The first series they went to he spead they scored. The first half of the game tonight they moved the ball at will in the air. Now they come out and try and run the ball and try a screan pass.

 

[joffer]

i like this Walker kid a little bit

 

[Sheriff66]

Mike Walker, the new Eddie Royal.

 

[One]

is that MJD down?

Here we go again.Probably the ankle.

Sprained right ankle

Dang,Looks like they're taping him up good for a questionable return. Hope he can make it to that well needed week 7 bye.

 

[bryhamm]

how is that not tripping?

 

[Sheriff66]

how is that not tripping?

Agreed

 

[bryhamm]

looked like the DE went to jump over the lineman who fell down and the dude reached up and grabbed his ankle

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Mike mother####ing Malker. Throw him the ball more.

Drew back in.He's one tough little ####.

 

[yinzer]

On that long pass to Walker right there:

Did anyone else see how the OL guy basically tripped Silverback by lifting his legs 3 feet in the air?

That shoulda been a penalty right there

 

[Sheriff66]

Marvel Smith headed to the locker room, time for Starks to earn some of the 6.8Mil

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Woodley, Harrison, or Polamalu need to make some sort of amazing individual play on this drive or it feels like it's gonna go 21-20... All the Jags need to do is run 3 wide, send everyone on deep routes, and let Garrard either hit the open man or run for miles...

*sigh*

The holding penalty just makes them more likely to run these sets like they did late vs. Houston last week.

[fred_1_15301]

Marvel Smith hurt now? The Steelers o-line is in some serious trouble if they lose Smith for a significant amount of time.

Look up

 

[yinzer]

how is that not tripping?

Agreed

YESEFF these refswere any of them reffing that playoff game last year?

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

HUGE tackle by Farrior.

 

[thecardiackid]

Is there some penalty sensor on the 30 yard line going in for JAX? They're KILLING me with all the stupid holding penalties destroying drives.

 

[Steeler]

NFL football is for girls.

 

[Sheriff66]

Come on Clark

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

wonderful. Ryan Clark doing his Anthony Smith impression.

 

[the Jag Zone]

there's a reason they ran Arians out of Cleveland..

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Nice job, Ryan.

 

[fred_1_15301]

What an idiotic play by Townsend. Good job.

 

[Jene Bramel]

Time for the Steelers to shell up on offense and defense until the Jags retake the lead.

[The Ref]

Wonder if the Steleers open it up again?

 

[bryhamm]

That wasn't the call. It was a good call ... stupid play by our safety.

 

[yinzer]

Nice job, Ryan.

Stupid play, but there is something called 'momentum', the physics part of momentum, not the emotional partI dont know how much less he coulda hit Jones

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

A ton of heart showed by the Jaguars! Nice battle back.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Maybe now that they're losing they go back to doing something that, oh, I don't know, moves the ball on offense?

 

[Sheriff66]

That wasn't the call. It was a good call ... stupid play by our safety.

I was talking about Madden,the call was right
