HEADS UP Steelers and Skins Fans (1 Viewer)

[Cookiemonster]

As a Steeler fan, I'm dissappointed in a couple plays and especially in the playcalling on the series before Jax won it. The playcalls were to run down the clock, but with that much time left, the clock couldn't be run down enough w/o the 1st down and I don't think they were going for the 1st aggressively enough. That said, the Jaguars are a good team and played better and deserved the win. Pitt made it a good game in the 2nd, and I'm thankful for that and the emotion/entertainment/hope provided. I'm not dissappointed in my team, as the injuries in the latter part of the season left this team less than playoff quality and they had a very good showing. I had already accepted the fact that this team wouldn't have any more than about a 10% chance next week anyways, and aside from the TOs, brought their A- game.

Congrats Jags fans. I'll be rooting for the Pats and Pack from here out (Pats 'cause I was 5 years from being born the last time a team did it, and Pack 'cause I like them best in the NFC's remaining teams), but the better the Jags do, the better we look.

Also a Michigan fan, and I really like Brady. I'd also like to see a perfect season in my life and get Mercury Morris off of the freakin TV every time some team goes 10-0.

Wait a minute.....do the 72 Dolphins get to pop the cork if the pats choke in the playoffs?

I like the Steelers a lot and was really pulling for them. I felt going in, however, that the lack of cohesion on the O-line was going to be the difference and IMO it was. Give Ben a bit more time in the pocket and I think the outcome is different. Give Najeh a hole or 2 to run through so there was at least the threat of breaking one off and the outcome is different. In the end I think not having Parker was huge, but not the straw that broke the camel's back. It was the O-line.

I too thought that Harrison got screwed a couple times by not drawing a holding call, but as some have pointed out. That's football. It simply doesn't get called every time.

The Skins game really disappointed me. I was so impressed with how they faught back. In the end though, I think the 'hawks are just the better team right now and it showed.

Great games though all around this weekend.

I would if I were them.

Get to? Who's going to stop them? Do you really doubt they will?

Not to take anything away from the 2 teams that took your boys down, but both squads played like winners today. Always tough to lose big games like this, but youve all got plenty to be proud of with these squads.Skins fans, your boys overcame an immeasureable loss in losing Taylor and went a lot farther than anyone expected. They played like champions the past month just make it to Seattle. And we'll all remember the final score was no reflection of how tight that game actually was. Heads up. Steelers fans, you lost the cog you couldnt lose when Parker went down, and desperately could have used him tonight. But you hung like champions as well, and battled back to nearly beat a great Jacksonville squad. This was a game your boys could have won. But also a game where your boys could have rolled over and died. They didnt and its a testament to what those men are made of. Lots of pride there and much to be proud of. Heads up. Keep it positive and continue to enjoy the football. Congrats to Seattle and Jacksonville fans. Living to love another day.

classy post.

Classy post, no doubt, but I do not agree. Losing Parker was not the difference, Ben making 2 poor decisions in the first half, a 98 yard KO return, a crap Holding call, Barnes raping Harrison the whole game and a no balls play call on 3rd down cost them.

Wow! It takes a certain audacity for a Pit fan to complain about bad officiating determining the outcome of a play-off game. Classy stuff Pit fans! Classy stuff!

 

[Baby New Year]

Yeah, any more of these Pittsburgh fans and I'm gonna have to start building an ark.

You sure have an obsession with Pittsburgh fans.....

 

[Irish]

These Pittsburgh fans are seriously disappointing me.

dude, they GAVE THE GAME AWAY. if it wasn't for the ####ty QBs 4 turnovers, and the line giving up 15 sacks, and the kick coverage team sucking ###, and the defense getting man handled by the run, they would have won easily.BEST TEAM ON PAPER 4EVERRRRR!!!

Jags were favored in this game, I don't know why you're getting your panties in a bunch?

Hint: If someone types "BEST TEAM ON PAPER 4EVERRRRR!!!", they are joking.HTH.

Noooooooo. Thanks Mr. Obvious.

You need new bait.

 

[Kosar]

Honestly, you think the Jags were the better team tonight? Ben tried to give it to them in the first half, but we owned them in the second half, period. Call me bitter if you want, but I was seriously disgusted with how the refs let Harrison get raped time and time again. We gave them the game, they didn't take it from us....

It's posts like this from some Steeler fans that make their loss even sweeter to me.Give me a break, please.

They forgot about the free TD they gave them to take the lead.
