Game Thread: Playoff action: Jacksonville @ Pittsburgh 1:05pm ET on CBS

[DJ Fieri]

Not sure if AB is going to play but I hope he does.



Should be a good re-match.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Matt Patricia is expected to become the next HC of the Detroit Lions.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Ben hasn't declined as much as I thought. He had the bad Jax game and then pedestrian ones after and the rest have been good to great.

Little over 2 hours to get your bets in.

I put this speech in the team board so I'll copy and paste it here.

There are a lot of distractions right now that could be very dangerous. Everything going on with Bell and Haley is ridiculous right now and the fact that players are talking to the media about playing and beating New England before beating the team that killed us in our own home 3 months ago pisses me off. We need to get our heads in the game with Jacksonville because if we make it past the Jags, every media member in the country will be talking about how the Pats own us and how we won't be beating the Patriots. We need to show the Pats and the media who we fucking are. And who are we?!?!

We are the team with the most playoff berths since 1970.
We are the team with the most Super Bowls in NFL history.
We are the team with the most division titles since 1970.
We are the team with the most playoff wins since 1970.
We are...THE MOTHERFUCKING PITTSBURGH STEELERS AND HERE. WE. GO!!!!!!!!

The Pats have 7 consecutive AFC title appearances......rather impressive.

The Pats have 7 consecutive AFC title appearances......rather impressive.

And annoying.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Leaning towards the Steelers in this game.










Pitt wins, 23-13.

 

[DJ Fieri]

And annoying.

I agree.

Would you dare consider the idea of sitting AB and roll the dice on winning today and having a healthy AB next week?

Almost as if you could see them force him out there, he gets worse, and misses next week if they win

[DJ Fieri]

I hope the Steelers run and don't have Ben slinging the ball 40 times....limit chances of him throwing picks.

 

[DJ Fieri]

They are going to stack the box to stop him and Bortles running the ball....force Blake to beat them through the air.

I can't this team beating Pitt twice at home. The only reason they won the first time was a fluke game by Ben.

 

[DJ Fieri]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

No way.

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

No way.

Well if reports that he isnt close to 100% and Ramsey is nasty, arent you asking for trouble?

I don't think so. I might sit him if the game was practically won. For instance, I would've sat our starters 1/4 of the way through the 4th last night if that were the Steelers.

The Jags are 21st vs the run and 1st vs the pass.

Let's go.......Steelers.

 

[Ojb81]

up until he had that 90 yd TD run at the end of the game, the Steelers did a pretty good job of keeping him bottled up.
