Apparition Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Jaguars 15, Steelers 13 Frankly, I can't wait to see Roethlisberger crap down his leg in a playoff game. That's always a lot of fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdallr Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I desperately want to see the Jags in the Super Bowl, but unless Bortles gets his act together this won't be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAF-N72EX Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Steelers 27-17 Can't see the Jags getting very far with less than 100 yards in the air again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showtime Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I don't think the Steelers will have much trouble winning this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livewire Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 10 years ago Jacksonville was the only team to beat the Steelers twice in the same year in Pittsburgh. Will history repeat itself? Roethlisberger has played very well the second half of the season but that Jags game was clearly his worst of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gopherwrestler Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 if 2nd half Blake shows up, I'll pick the Jags winning this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much this. Defense is going to get worn down quick if it has to be on the field like it did this week up until that 8 minute drive early in the 3rd quarter.

TakeTheBallDeep Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 If Jacksonville is going to win this game I feel like they have to do the following: 1. No turnovers, they are not good enough on offense to turn the ball over 2. No dumb penalties (Block in back on returns, PFs, 12 men on the field/huddle) 3. Be ready in certain situations such as 2 minutes drives/score before halftime 4. Force at least 1 turnover, the Jags need extra possessions for their offense and their D will need rest 5. AB and Bell are going to get their yards, just limit the big runs and receptions. If they can limit Pitt to FGs rather than TDs then they should be in the game until the end I know these are "No duh" statements but I feel the Jags, unlike most of the other playoff teams, have to play almost perfect football to be able to win. I think its going to be a great game and I hope it comes down to the very end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedyg Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Jaguars defense matches up very well with the Steelers offense. The question is whether the Jags offense can do anything. 5 INTs is too much to ask, so is expecting them to score a TD like they did last time. Bortles, Fournette, and Hackett needs to be creative to get the most out of their possessions. if they need to boot and use Blake's running ability to loosen things up for Fournette, they need to.

KhanYouDigIt Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I don’t trust Bortles on the road and especially in cold weather. I’m sure they will pound Fournette in to loaded boxes like usual. Our D is our only hope. They need to create at least 3 turnovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodjahs12 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Are people forgetting Jacksonville went to Pittsburgh and won 30-9 earlier this season? I understand a lot changes in the NFL in 3 months time and you can't put too much stock into regular seasons games during the playoffs but those that expect Pittsburgh to run away with this game seem to have an awfully short memory.

BlaqOptic Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Seriously, why does this forum allow 2 certain fanbases to get away with incessant trolling come playoff time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
