AFC Wild Card Weekend:Steelers vs. Jaguars Gameday Thread

[touchdownward]

As much as it pains me to say this now that I'm still stinging from this loss, but I hope the Jags win the whole damn thing.

I feel sick for our players that they didn't win due to piss poor coaching the last 4 minutes in the game. IMO that was the Steeler blueprint of recent. Get a lead and then just play to lose. I didn't watch the last four minutes as I was on my way to work but when Jax punted to us the last time. I told myself here we go, we're not going to play to win we're going to play to punt and put it on the D. By the way great punt Sep.

-no willie parker
-no arron smith
-Ben gives them 3 gifts
and we almost killed them...I hope the Jags get blown out of the next game...

Watch out for Steelers next year

Like many of you, I was dreading the results when we had the ball on offense for the last time ... I kept thinking ... don't go three-an-out ... too many times this year they have sat back, content to take ther chances ...

Can't play like that and expect to win!

I cannot dislike a team that battled just as hard as we did and won that battle. They are a darned good football team and I'm going to pull for them to go all the way.

Sometimes getting killed by 14+ points makes you feel better ... this game leaves a bad taste in my mouth because even though we played a horrible first half, we had a chance to win it, and despite all the things that could have gone bad in the late stages of the game, IMO, this game was lost due to poor play calling ... as many of you have said, 3rd and six, and the best you can do is come up with a lame bootleg for a not too mobile QB? That play may have had some value in the first quarter, but at that stage of the game we needed a first down to clinch the game ... at least the Jag would have gotten the ball with way less time on the clock ...

Like others have said, you need to play to win, not play to not lose! Horrible play selection ... can't understand why we would not call a quick pass play to Miller or Ward with all the success they had. I'd rather get blown away then lose due to poor play selections.

sorry folks,,,,,but the steelers gave that one away. Great game though, despite the BS call on the 2 pt conversion. I hope for bad weather in New England land and the JAGs can win......I cant believe i just said that

Even though I late losing, I can't hate the Jaguars. They are a good team.

Besides, we'll see them again next year.

Amen brother! Unfortunately it has happened too many other times this year ... that is the big difference between Pittsburgh and a few other teams like NE ... they go for the win ...
