Wildcard Weekend Game Thread - updated title

Jacksonvilles defense reminds me of our defense. They're very vanilla. They have good players, but as soon as the line is knicked up a little, they can't do much because they depend so much on that pressure.

They're warn out at this point too. They need to have a nice drive here. Even if it's only a field goal, they need to take a little bit of time to rest the defense and get a few yards. It's going to be tough with the crowd at this point. Wow, Pittsburgh really showed up to play.

That missed face-mask call reminds me of all the calls that the Steelers got in the Super Bowl against the Seahawks--when the refs really helped them out.

I like Ward a lot.

[RashanGary]

MIssing Henderson and STroud hurts.

Garrard hangs on too the ball to long....he does make his share of plays though.

[RashanGary]

Damn, this thing looks about over. Jax is exhausted on D.

[RashanGary]

IF they get a chance for a punt return, I think they should stick Jones Drew back there. Then on offense, they should try to get him the ball. You just don't get the feeling Garrard is going to get this thing done. It's Drew, Taylor or nobody.

[Rastak]

GREAT field position. They have a real shot here.

[Lurker64]

Since they get the ball on the 50, Jacksonville can basically run their normal offense here. With one time out, the two minute warning and 2:38 to go.

[Rastak]

They will most likely lose their last timeout....I don't know....pretty risky.

[RashanGary]

Nothing is going in Jax favor here. I have NO confidence in Garrard. NONE.


There really isn't much you can do when you can't trust your QB to pass the ball.

I don't think they should have challenged that. Then again, they do have time and a short field. But still, you want that timeout.

Lets go jags!! Give it to MJD!!!!!

NBC has had a fine presentation today for their games. I am pretty impressed. Today turned out to be a great day.

[Rastak]

How friggen stupid is that? Run the play before the 2:00 minute warning......



maybe Del Rio wants to burn all the clock he can and kick a FG......why else would he burn a TO on a questionable timeout with only one left and then not run another play.
