The table was set yesterday afternoon about 4p. I watched a good portion of the JAX WC game vs BUF...for a while it didn't seem like either team wanted to score a TD.
BUF is a flawed OFC and calling a spade a spade, Taylor just doesn't make enough plays. To his credit, he made enought to win this game but his WRs and that includes TEs and RBs...they let their QB down with too many drops...TDs dropped, key 1st downs dropped, key 1st downs, the TE can't run his pattern in bounds, just amazingly inept play by his weapons.
Keeping in that spade is a spade mode...the JAX OFC looked like shit too.
In the end the athleticism of the JAX DEF made some plays and the Jags move on to the DIV round.
As the #3 seed, they will face our Steelers at Heinz Field Sunday...again. We all remember the beatdown performance, easily the low point of the season at the hands of these same Jags in week 5...embarrassed...30-9 at home.
Some things were said by the young upstart Jags that I'm sure has become bulletin board material for the Steelers this week.
A quick tale of the tape.
PIT...OFC 8th ranked, DEF, 7th ranked...both are good indicators of how the team is playing I think.
JAX...OFC 5th ranked, DEF 2nd ranked. The DEF has been good all season, but the OFC is not playing like a top 5 unit right now.
Health...lets start with the main man, Antonio Brown...via social media, he's put it out there that he's fine and will be ready for the game. There were some other guys that are nursing health issue...Pouncey (hernia) I haven't heard any update here, but I don't see Finney on the list so that's good.
Outlook...The Jags obviously have a very good DEF that gave the Steelers OL and OFC a lot of problems in that week 5 game. I'm pretty sure Ben will play better than his 5 pick performance. Looking the way both teams are playing right now. PIT OFC vs JAX...I'm expecting a much better showing on the ground and more players involved in the game plan.
PIT D vs JAX...keep Forunette in check this time, force Bortles to beat them. I expect Davis in the box all game and he better bring his big boy pads but I'm expecting this group to rally to the ball in good fashion and make whatever yds Fournette gets well earned this time. I expect them to be a little more aggressive early maybe to get Bortles some confidence, but I'm not seeing more than 17 against the Steelers this week.
I like PIT 24-13
