Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2004 That game shouldn't have been remotely that close. The Steelers tried so hard to give that game away with penalties that it almost makes me sick. Cowher needs to get control of the team and get them to stop fucking giving the other team first downs.

AlwaysPissedOff 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2004 I just want the Ravens to choke and Denver lose one more game so we can get the second wildcard spot. I'm proud of the Jags tonight even if they did lose since it took a 60-yarder that went a bit too far right to lose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2004 It was a great game. Jacksonville benefitted from some gift calls, but nonetheless, they played good enough to win. Steelers are lucky they pulled this one out, and I'm curious to see if Ben's turned the corner again; when Burress comes back (HOPEFULLY next week), we'll see if the passing game picks up again.

AlwaysPissedOff 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2004 C'mon now, you know Pitt got a couple of gift calls, as well(and one non-call). Either way, the game was awesome and maybe now Jacksonville will get a couple more primetime games now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2004 Well, JAX is essentially done for in the powerful AFC. At 6-6 they have almost zero chance in the division since the Colts are just the bitchmasters right now. I guess that with the Ravens and the Broncos both losing they are still just 1 game out.

Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2004 The gifts weren't always given by the officials The Steelers, quite frankly, played with very little discipline. I hope the Jags go far, too; this game was intense, and I think they'll give the Steelers a lot better game than the Ravens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Almost zero chance is laying it on a bit too much, though. They still have a decent chance provided they don't lose again and really Denver just needs to lose one game for the Jags to overtake them because Jacksonville holds the tiebreaker. If Baltimore loses two more games and Denver loses one more, it's Jacksonville's spot to lose. The gifts weren't always given by the officials Hah! Point taken.

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted December 6, 2004 So- I think we can really see the playoff picture now, and they're showing the whole tiebreaker scenarios and the Division Leaders/Wild Card/Still Alive graphics. So yes, the playoffs are just around the corner. I'm extremely depressed because of Green Bay's showing today, but I guess I'm just going to hope it was an extreme aberration and they're going to come out firing for the rest of the year. I knew that the games against Philadelphia and Jacksonville are/were going to be tough, and we have to hope for at least a split in those to have a chance, especially since they have back to back road games in Minnesota and Chicago to finish out the season. So, much like I held out hope at the beginning of the 3rd quarter that Green Bay would somehow still pull it out-- a thought overwhelmed by naive optimism- I still will hold a yes, naive and optimistic view on the rest of the season and just hope that somehow, some way Green Bay and Philly happen to meet again and exact revenge. Because it very much seems that the road towards the Super Bowl runs through Philadelphia as of right now in the NFC, and if Green Bay has been playing like the 2nd best team in the conference right now, there's a whole lot of distance between #1 and the rest. Philadelphia made a believer out of me today. Honestly, now that the game has sunk in more, I was thinking back and feeling as if I was watching my old high school team play the Philadelphia Eagles. I seriously have never seen my guys get so totally outclassed in every single aspect of the game. Run Defense, Pass Defense, Pass Offense, Rush Offence, nothing stood a chance. There was absolutely no answer for them, once Philadelphia got on a roll, there was no stopping them whatsoever. I think that's really the key to stopping them, much like the Vikings, you have to take them by surprise early and force them to play uphill. Pittsburgh and Cleveland both did that, and one came away with a win and the other almost did in OT. I didn't watch the Pittsburgh game because I don't want to hear about this game (although undoubtedly I will be mocked and ashamed for it all week, probably the rest of the season) ever again. But good for Pittsburgh pulling out tough wins. The AFC playoffs should be a hell of a thing to watch. I'd also love to see the Panthers somehow run the table and make the playoffs. All they need is 4 more games in a row! The NFC playoffs won't be too bad, provided that somehow Seattle or St.Louis don't make the playoffs. It'll help to have as many teams from the NFC North as possible in there to make them good-great games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gert T 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2004 I don't think Jacksonville wins their last 4, and I think 9-7 does not get in with the AFC, but I do think they'll have a shot in every game. Jacksonville needs to move the ball better when they are inside the opponents 30 and in. However, a lot of that can go to the Steelers defense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted December 6, 2004 Jacksonville's 6-6, not 5-7. 10-6 is good enough, but this is the rest of their schedule: Sun 12/12 Chicago 1:00 pm Sun 12/19 at Green Bay 4:15 pm Sun 12/26 Houston 1:00 pm Sun 1/2 at Oakland 4:15 pm Good thing to know they get to play Green Bay in their last home game of the season.

Gert T 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2004 Yeah I meant that I think because they do not win all of their last four, they will finish 9-7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2004 Okay, I got to page 6 of this thread before skipping to the end, but I need to say that if people think the Bengals will have it easy against Buffalo, they're smoking dope...now if it was week 4 or 5, I would agree, but ever since inserting McGahee into the lineup, they have been exploding offensively on people left and right and doing exactly what they need to do defensively to win games...they've won the last 6 of 7 games or 5 of 6 or some shit haven't they? For Bengals fans and supporters to consider that game a gimme is retarded... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For Bengals fans and supporters to consider that game a gimme is retarded... The Bills are the hottest team in the NFL, are they not? The best part is, with regards to the AFC Wild Card race, we may have the easiest schedule of the bunch (Bengals, Browns, 49ers, Steelers (who hopefully will sit their starters on the last week). The one thing I'm worried about is tiebreakers, as they aren't going to work in Buffalo's favour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted December 6, 2004 The Bengals are just as hot a team right now. I'm not saying it's a gimme just that it's a very winnable game for them compared to what they could have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Jets are 9-3 right now, and I don't see the Wild Card Five (Baltimore, Denver, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Jacksonville, and maybe Houston) coming near them, let alone tying them. The Jets, to me, are a lock for the #5 seed since they probably won't catch New England. I'm more worried about Buffalo being tied with Jacksonville (as you mentioned) or Baltimore (who they also lost to). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2004 because it's true! I never said Cincy is a winnable game for Buffalo as both teams are about on even par...if anything that should be an AFC game of the week if it plays out right...I did say that they will prolly end up 8 and 8 with the two losses being Cincy and Pittsburgh, as i WILL say Cleveland and SF are definently gimmes...
