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

[Fountain City Blues]

Oh Andy Reid absolutely should be fired, I havent felt this strongly about Tomlin till today

His defense is absolutely horrific, and that onside Kick decision alone is a fireable offense

Man, aren't you the guy who always complains about a weak AFC? If you think the AFC is weak now? Just wait if you fire both Tomlin and Reid next year.

And it does suck in that there's a good chance the Pats get to basically waltz into the Super Bowl yet again, though Jacksonville does have the roster to make it interesting, and if they had a QB, I'd probably pick them.

Kinda crazy, I'd give the Jags a roster advantage over the Pats for players 2-53, but the Pats have a significant edge at QB.

49-21

What do you mean no way? Why would you waste all your time trying to get a TD?

Use time now or use it after the FG. 50 + yards for a TD after a succesful recovery verses 10 or so for a FG attempt.

It's a 50/50 proposition. Niether is wrong. I try for the TD first.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

I will say this about the Steelers. They really need to upgrade their defense. Especially the back end.

Ben Roethlisberger was 37-58, 469 yards, 5 TDs. And they LOST THE GAME!

Well, I dont necessarily think Tomlin and Reid are making the Steelers and Chiefs stronger, I think they are preventing them from maximizing their talent

 

[Fountain City Blues]

How bout Bryant, and a case of warm Yuengling?

Sounds reasonable to me

All you have to do to analyze how bad the game next week will be is put a picture of Doug Marron next to a picture of Bill Belichick, and if you're still somehow not convinced, a picture of Blake "even Lebron has a few haters" Bortles next to Tom Brady lol........

This feels like a weird take considering Smith's performance this season. Methinks you overrate the Chiefs' talent.

The biggest myth in football is the Jaguars defense being good

They just gave up 44 to the 49ers a couple of weeks ago

A great stat he'll never speak of again!

They have tried. Burns, Davis, and a boatload of money in Haden. At what point do they look at their coordinators & personnel coaches? So sick of this same old putrid secondary.

I think a better HC would think he hit the lottery if he took over a team with a young Mahomes, Kelce, Hunt and Hill

And while they definitely didn't play their best game today, calling the Jags defense "horrendous" is kinda retarded given what they've done all season.

Their best offense is to wing it and have Rothesberger and the reciever make a big play...

Those 4th down blunders could also be on him. Audibled to pitch it wide to Bell on the first failure. Then, whether it was haley's call or not, didn't audible away from that 4th & 1 pass.

Throw in the fumble scoop & score, which he held the ball way too long...

Plenty of blame to throw around.

49-21

I doubt it will be that bad.

38-14 sounds right. Maybe Bortles can catch lighting in a bottle for just one game though.

It's a great looking offense going forward and I have a great deal of confidence in Mahomes. Defense has a core, but I don't need to tell you it has a serious lack of depth. Pretty excited for next year; especially if Denver doesn't get their hands on Cousins. They get an average D with this offense and things could get interesting.

Best way to cover up for a poor excuse of a OC.

They just gave up about 1000 yards and 42 points, and they are heading to New England
