Go Jaguars!

[SteelerFanInStl]

I like Ramsey less and less the more I watch him play. He needs to just shut up.

With a FG, the Pats are up 3-0.

I definitely want the Jags to win but I hate players that constantly talk shit. I didn't see Ramsey saying a word when he didn't do his job earlier in the drive on that pass to Cooks. He finally made a play and then he's right in the face of the receiver. Players just need to shut up and play.

I concur. :)


Doesn't look like Brady's thumb boo-boo is bothering him too much. Hopefully, it will fall off as the game progresses.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Two poor passes by Bortles to kill the drive.

Yep, pisses me off the guy is awful yet steelers D made him look like all pro

[86WARD]

Jags D holds to force a Pats punt. If their D can keep it close, they have a shot that Fournette breaks one or that he hits a long pass by accident...lol.

More overhyped BS, just like his "high ankle sprain" before SB XLII. :rolleyes:

And which was also later used as an excuse after the Giants D owned his ass. :coffee:


The New England Patriots have sauntered through the rest of the league this year. But on the verge of perfection, their leader came up gimpy.

Photographs and video show quarterback Tom Brady wearing what appears to be a walking boot on his right foot while in New York on Monday. A video of Brady in the cast is available on TMZ.com.

The Boston Herald reported that Brady -- flowers in hand -- was visiting the apartment of his girlfriend, supermodel Gisele Bundchen.

Since the photographs of Brady in the walking boot were taken, he has been spotted wearing both cowboy boots and black dress shoes. He did not appear to be limping while walking.

Bortles leads the Jags to the lead. TD To Lewis! 7-3 Jax!

That was a nice drive by the Jags. Keep it going!

[SteelerFanInStl]

Another nice TD drive by the Jags. I like what I'm seeing so far. The Jags are taking it right to them.

[86WARD]

Belichick typical “take a player out of the game” defense isn’t really working at the moment...lol.

[Iron Steeler]

I have to admit I am super jealous of the Jags identity and I want it.

Kraft is in the refs locker room stuffing their shirts with money. :chuckle:

I would love to see a Jags vs Eagles/Vikings Super Bowl, now that the Steelers are out of it. It would be nice to have a winless team finally get one.

Was scared to watch this - the LAST thing I am interested in is watching the Pats win yet another Super Bowl - if the Pats are in it, I'll give the big game a pass this year. I do have this game recording and will start watching it from the beginning now that there is some hope, and keep my fingers crossed... Go Jags!

It’s funny that Bouye was doing the exact same stuff last week and never got called...lol.

Consistency...foreign term in the NFL.

Funny, the minute I started watching, the Pats seemed to get a lot of "breaks", so off the TV went! I'm usually not very superstitious, but I have to help any way I can so no AFC Championship game for me until it's all over. Good Sunday to all (waves to Lady Steel in particular) and I'll catch everyone for the NFC game

[Lady Steel]

Wow, that was a nice first down.

Stick around, Kitty. It will be alright. :)

[fansince'76]

Uh-oh, Jax is beginning to mount another drive - time for a ticky-tack holding penalty or two to kill that shit...

Lambo cranks a 54 yarder to bring the lead to 7...

[86WARD]

Patriots take the lead. 23-20. Great catch by Amendola.

[Mojouw]

Year and year out we are all taught the same lesson over and over again - eventually you need a QB to make plays to win. You can hid him for really long stretches of games and seasons with elite players at other units, but in the the end that position is going to have to make a handful of plays.

So, your move Blake Bortles.

[86WARD]

24-20 after the XP. Can Bortles bring them back with 2:48 remaining??

[EzraTank]

NE just seems to win no matter who Brady is throwing to.

Once again a team that's controlling the game goes conservative and ends up blowing it.

[Craic]

The Patriots are the luckiest damn team on the planet.

Probably the first thing we've agreed on in a long time. :chuckle:

The real question, however, is why did the refs decide to call PI when JAX did barely 15% of the holding they did against Pittsburgh. Don't get me wrong. I liked the way the game was called last week. Let the guys play. It's that I dislike
the way this game was called.

Sad. Very Sad.

[Lady Steel]

Welp, GO NFC!

[AtlantaDan]

Hate to say it, but this applies

"Great teams aren't always great. They're just great when they have to be."
Former NFL Films narrator John Facenda's quote about the 1970s Steelers

Seahawks, Falcons and Jags all had Pats on the ropes but could not finish the deal - that is due to more than luck and bad calls

Pats came from behind when Steelers could not

[Edman]

Jaguars did the exact same thing that did the Steelers in against the Patriots.

Went too conservative, let the Officials take hold of the game (7 Penalties to 1 for NE), and lost. You can't do that against the Patriots. You can't.

[steelreserve]

I can't be too upset, I mean none of it counts anyway as far as I'm concerned. Hulk Hogan has more legitimate championships. Whether we're talking wrestling or football.

[cubanstogie]

Why was the whistle blown on miles jack recovery, he got up untouched.

[SteelerFanInStl]

This is exactly why I like the NFL less and less every year. All of that holding and PI last week that the Jags DBs pulled against the Steelers that didn't get called, miraculously got called this week. Once again nothing got called against the Pats (1 penalty). It's such B.S.

[Kittyfish]

Well, crap. I swear, football is not very much fun lately. I'll stop there before I go on a VERY unladylike cussing spree. So tired of the Pats every. single. year. Onto the NFC game.

I'm more mad at the Steelers and Jaguars, for shitting all over themselves to play into the "Patriots are invincible" narrative. They're on the way to the Super Bowl again, and likely dealing with another long offseason hearing how great and how excellent New England is. I said it last year, you sick and tired of seeing the Patriots talk shit? Beat them. Well, these AFC retards didn't get the memo.

Kelvin Benjamin of the Chargers runs backwards into the endzone for a safety.

Steelers go turtle mode in the 4th quarter and surrendered an 8-point lead to NE then go up in smoke against Jacksonville at home in the Divisional round.

Jags go conservative and let NE win when the game was there for the taking.

You honestly can't get mad at the Patriots for that. I'm more sickened by these stupid ass retarded teams who continually shit their pants against them.

That is what great teams do - opponents think they have to play a perfect game to have a chance and fall apart at the end of the game (Seahawks, Falcons, Steelers, Jags)

Falcons thought rather than run clock they should keep hurry up offense - that failed too

Only unit that did not fail recently was 2013/2015 Denver defense

Credit to Brady & Belichick for a second act - I thought they were done after the second Super Bowl loss to the Giants

[86WARD]

Two best defenses in the league choked the championship games away.

Patriots/Eagles Super Bowl...ugh. There’s nothing worse. Nothing.

Patriots/Eagles Super Bowl...ugh. There’s nothing worse. Nothing.

Belichick-Brady v Jerry Jones Cowboys would be for me

[Mojouw]

So should the Vikings D coordinator be fired? Safety cut? I thought that only garbage unprepared teams got victimized by flea-flickers?

In all seriousness, the Vikes have a few questions to answer.

Also, remember when we all thought Trae Waynes was good?

[AtlantaDan]

Vikings collapse after their second turnover late in first half

Nick Foles to the Super Bowl - feel the excitement

I have watched every Super Bowl - all streaks come to an end and that one may end for me in 2 weeks

With this game turned off may have watched my last play this season

I obviously am pissed off by how the Steelers season ended but this may be the year the NFL jumped the shark for me for anything other than Steelers games

[EzraTank]

Eagles looking fantastic against the #1 defense in the NFL.

Remember when I said they were going to win the Superbowl earlier this year before Wentz got hurt ... well it still looks that way.

If Foles wins the SB I bet some team like the Browns will pay him big money to be the starter... gonna be a fun offseason.

[ShoeHorn]

Two teams i hate and the two most nauseating fan bases in the league. Pass.

I agree. It's a nightmare. I'm not watching that Super Bowl.

I have the same feeling...

If I were the Eagles I'd send in the backups now. Or the backup of the backup, in Foles' case (whomever that is).

[86WARD]

Terrible ending to a decent season...

[steelreserve]

I don't really get the hate for the Eagles. They're not really rivals or anything, and most of their fans that I've met are like "Steelers are ok," and root for us if there's nothing else on the line. Mostly they're depressed and cynical is all. Easy call who to root for in this super bowl.

Different when you live in the Philadelphia area.

[Bluecoat96]

So basically it's these two against each other in the Superbowl.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180122/7da8d956f128fba13bd9870200ce80ef.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180122/cce4685b80ed51a9d19b2efe4043bc94.jpg

I did for a brief period. Like I said, they were mostly just depressed. Didn't really encounter anyone who was a jerk, unlike certain other fanbases that are like 90%.

[86WARD]

Well living here for 40+ years, it’s a little different than passing through. Just today alone there was a monsterous brawl at the tailgate that resulted in arrests and the philly and state police having to be involved. Then there were the incidents of the eagles fans throwing full beer cans at any Vikings fans walking by and it wasn’t just a couple/few guys...it was a lot of eagles fans. They’re pretty much unbearable as a fan base IMO.

[steelerdude15]

I'm not really excited for this Super Bowl. I have a strong dislike for the Patriots and Boston fans and I dislike Philly fans as well. I'm fine with the Eagles though.

Having grown up around Raiders fans, that sounds like a pretty tame afternoon.

Can we delete this NFL season? You get Tom Brady coasting through the AFC without a defense and you got the Eagles making to the Super Bowl without a QB because the Falcons Falconed and the Vikings Vikinged. Perfect Super Bowl for this shitty season. You also got Quitter Blount vs Quitter "I forever tainted my legacy for a few snaps and $59,000" Harrison. Winner (probably the Cheaters) but who cares?

Eagles fans are barbarians,

[st33lersguy]

Think, had Marcus Williams of the Saints known how to tackle somebody, Saints beat the Vikings, they then beat the Eagles after Drew Brees doesn't choke on his own spit. Meanwhile had Mike Tomlin done something other than rely on Big Ben, AB, and Bos to bail his team out, Todd Haley knew how to call plays, Keith Butler knew how to do something other than look like a blithering idiot, and some of the defensive coaching assistants knew how to coach up players, the Steelers would be in the Super Bowl playing a palatable and worthy NFC foe without an insufferable hoard of cavemen for fans, instead of this shitshow

[EzraTank]

He should be more worried about that Eagles Defense. They are going to get to Marcia, a lot, and he's going to be looking at the roof in Minnesota a lot.

The Eagles have what you need to beat Marcia and company. A running game that can eat clock. Multiple receivers that can get open. A great TE that can kill you on 3rd down in the middle. A defense that can get pressure with the front 4 alone (imagine if the Steelers could do that) and a secondary that can cover and make BIG plays (see the Eagles first TD last night).

I see the Eagles winning this going away late.

[Edman]

You can blame the Pittsburgh Big Time Shit-talkers for all of this and their Cheerleader Mike Tomlin for failing to get it done. You can't beat Blake Bortles, well this is what you get.

All this Super Bowl reminds me is just how big choke artists the Steelers have become.

[Born2Steel]

Not to mention 2 weeks to work out the subtleties of perfectly placed penalties with the officials to keep the Patriots offense on the field.

Let's hope for some of that "Philly Love" comes raining down on the Patriots and their fanbase this time.

I already have, scroll down to my next comment

[AtlantaDan]

Jags now have to decide if they want to roll with Bortles in 2018, which requires a determination as to whether they are guessing they will be getting Steelers playoff game and the first three quarters of the Pats game Bortles or the 4th quarter Pats game version

This stat regarding how the Jags closed out the end of the first half probably indicates he still is not trusted to win rather than just not lose big games

955193166931660801

Perhaps not the guy you want to pay $19 million next season

The Jaguars picked up the fifth-year option on Bortles' contract, and his salary for 2018 will be approximately $19.1 million (the average of the top 10 highest-paid quarterbacks). The deal is guaranteed for injury only until the first day of the 2018 league year in March, when it becomes fully guaranteed.

http://www.espn.com/blog/jacksonville-jaguars/post/_/id/24743/insiders-predict-jaguars-qb-in-2018-where-blake-bortles-will-play

But if it is Bortles or someone else the Jags will experience paying big $$$ for a QB, with its impact on keeping that young defense together long term

Bortles >> Alex Smith

Having grown up around Raiders fans, that sounds like a pretty tame afternoon.

I'm on the I-5... and two cars start honking and swerving at each other. The cars unload (5 guys per car) right in the middle of the freeway... and a brawl erupts. Yep, it was two carloads of Raidahs fans fighting each other.

I've seen Raidahs fans throw beer cans at toddlers (true story). I've seen them hold a Chargers fan down and urinate on him (again, true). And, that was at SeaWorld (the day before the game).

The best benefit of the Chargers leaving San Diego is that the I-5 south and/or the hotels in San Diego (on Raidahs-Chargers weekends) are not full of drunken, angry Raidahs fans coming into town for the game.

SUMMATION:
You could not pay me to go to a Raidahs game. Some of those Los Angeles based fans are actual convicts released for the weekend (NO JOKE).

[steelreserve]

A big problem (at least in Northern CA but probably in LA too) is that Raiders jerseys are the de facto uniform for a lot of gangs. And that they actually show up at the games.

So you have a situation where you have hundreds of REAL gang members, mixed with several thousand white people who think they're hard because they're wearing Raiders jerseys (and are also drunk as hell), and as you can imagine, those two groups get along with each other splendidly. And then besides fighting with each other, just because they're assholes, both of them pick on the regular fans who are trying to mind their own business, to say nothing of the visiting fans.

About the only people who you can be sure WON'T give you trouble are the hardcore Black Hole type fans who paint their faces and dress up in costumes and shit. I mean, they might heckle you for wearing a Chiefs jersey, like any self-respecting fan of the home team - but they probably aren't going to randomly decide to punch you in the face for no reason.

Bottom line, I don't think I've ever been to a Raiders game without seeing several fights ... I haven't been to one in well over 10 years, but I have friends who still go, and every once in a while they'll still be IN fights. These are guys in their mid to late 30s, not the age at which you typically go around looking to start a fistfight.

Charles Woodson's jersey seemed to be really popular among the Mexican gangbangers. To this day, any time I see someone wearing a #24 jersey, I automatically think, "better watch out, this guy most likely has some kind of weapon and is probably a real motherfucker."

I think the Dodgers also have a similar problem with attracting certain, ah ... less desirable elements from the community (doesn't help that their color is blue, for obvious reasons), but in that case it's not like the gangs actually give a shit about the team or are a constant presence at the games or anything, just kind of hanging around the fringes.



Part of me does not even want to the SB this year because, we know how it is going to end the cheats/Brady getting number 6 title.

Number 6, what are you talking about? Did Brady win a championship once? I completely missed that; it must not have been very important.
