Jacksonville at Pittsburgh (1 Viewer)

[renesauz]

I dunno. Pretty weird game. 4 incredible catches for touchdowns 

agreed. Jags defense played better then the yardage and points allowed would suggest

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Haley would throw it here

 

[Army Eye]

Have to onside kick. No way this defense can contain Bortles. Meditate on that. 

Bortles is gonna throw it once, max.    Very questionable decision IMO

 

[HellToupee]

Call a to

 

[JuniorGong]

Tomlin once again proving he has no game management skills

 

[SengerCJ]

Does an onside kick have a higher chance of working than your defense stopping Blake Bortles? Wow, low confidence in your defense. 

 

[lod001]

Dumbest coaching staff in the NFL????

 

[dickey moe]

I'll be surprised if Bortles throws a pass on this drive.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Pitt can still get ball back with plenty of time. Jax will not pass

 

[identikit]

That teal tongue is weird.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Smart to save the timeouts till after the 2-minute warning when the time is that close.  

 

[JaxBill]

Onside kick = Tomlin admitting they can't hold Jags to 3 and out

 

[Zow]

Bortles is much better than Dilfer ever dreamed of being.

Ironically, the guy I'd trust to give the best analysis of which QB is better... is Dilfer. 

 

[Statorama]

It's "hold Fournette upright as long as it takes to strip the ball" time

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Dumbest coaching staff in the NFL????

Andy Reid begs to differ

 

[McJose]

I would trust a Russian condom more than i trust this defense.

Is that what happened?

 

[HellToupee]

Terrible kick.   But they had to do it.   Fouts is a ####### moron

Still think better odds with lackluster D than longer odds for the recovery there

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Terrible kick.   But they had to do it.   Fouts is a ####### moron

I would have kicked off, but I don't think it was a mistake to try the onside. Just crap kick. 

 

[SayWhat?]

So why not use a timeout in front of the two minute warning at 2:10 or so there?  Seems like it at least saves a few tics on the clock.  

 

[AAABatteries]

Pitt can still get ball back with plenty of time. Jax will not pass

PLAY TO WIN!

 

[Da Guru]

Why did they not call TO before the 2 minute warning?  Lost 15 seconds.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

That +10.5 looking great

 

[renesauz]

Does an onside kick have a higher chance of working than your defense stopping Blake Bortles? Wow, low confidence in your defense. 

That defense has been getting plastered all day, and even one first down could be enough.

It's hardly a no-brainer decision. I don't think either choice would have been a bad one

 

[The General]

Should have kicked it deep if you couldn't recover the onside kick IMO.

 

[NutterButter]

Onside kick = Tomlin admitting they can't hold Jags to 3 and out

I think the steelers d admitted that themselves

 

[cockroach]

Smart to save the timeouts till after the 2-minute warning when the time is that close.  

You must be being sarcastic, right?

 

[SengerCJ]

In that Zimmer commercial. Why does he capitalize the T’s on the ‘To’ and ‘The’ on the first two lines but uses lower case on the next two lines? 

 

[McJose]

Let’s compromise and say they should have squib kicked it.

 

[NutterButter]

Why did they not call TO before the 2 minute warning?  Lost 15 seconds.

I never understand when i see that done.  I'm just not head coaching material.

 

[SayWhat?]

Smart to save the timeouts till after the 2-minute warning when the time is that close.  

Explain this to me.  Whistle blew at 2:12.  ####.  They may have been able to use the two min warning for the 3rd down play had they used timeouts in front of the warning.

 

[renesauz]

Ironically, the guy I'd trust to give the best analysis of which QB is better... is Dilfer. 

Truth. The one thing Dilfer had going for him is how smart and self-aware he was. Would have made a good coach.

 

[JoeSteeler]

Luring Jax into missed FG =$

 

[lod001]

Pitt can still get ball back with plenty of time. Jax will not pass

That's why they should have kicked off.

 

[Army Eye]

Well if Jacksonville runs there ball, they're  better than through the air. Best hope is Bortles throws it. If JAX runs its game over anyway. Defense isn't stopping anything. 

Still, it's a different situation when you KNOW they are running.      Much better chances to hold.

 

[dickey moe]

Go for the 1st.

 

[SengerCJ]

You must be being sarcastic, right?

Makes sense. Don’t you end up saving 10 or so seconds that way?

 

[AAABatteries]

How good is Jax kicker?

 

[JoeSteeler]

Mike Mitchell is terrible

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

GO FOR IT!

 

[renesauz]

You must be being sarcastic, right?

I saw more like 7 or 8 seconds left....I would wait until after the warning as well.

 

[falguy]

Right dan they might go for it here.

 

[shadyridr]

Man id go for this

 

[JoeSteeler]

Should go for 4th here

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Show them how to execute a QB sneak!

 

[JaxBill]

Go for it 

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

kick 6 coming up

 

[Dez]

What a mistake kicking onside kick

 

[dickey moe]

Nails

 

[AAABatteries]

How good is Jax kicker?

Not sure about usually but that kick was damn perfect

 

[ShamrockPride]

Perfect kick
