We will know by the end of tonight.

But let's concentrate on getting a playoff win finally.

Stupit rule. Team gets punished with 10 second run off because of missed call?
Tho fine for Bills here.
Don't get it?
It's not a punishment. It's a guess as to where the clock would be by the time the teams set up again.

Not sure what to think now. It's wide open, I mean you figure the Bills but their run D sucks.

If Patriots lose tonight and we win tomorrow, we host bills. Don't know which is better for us hosting bills or going to Foxborough. I would take the home game I guess.

Couldn't Josh have just not scored run the clock down to like 20 seconds they have all their timeouts and then he is second third and fourth down the score
I think you score when u can...
Avoid bad snap.
Avoid fumble. ..Bettis
Tip bail.. Russel Wilson
Etc
I dunno Stosh. Obv McDermott agrees with you. But if Alan takes a knee inside the one and is unstoppable as he's been on the sneak, the kicker that Jacksonville has and a full minute left, you could run the clock down to 20 seconds have a foot for the winning touchdown and three chances to get it.

That game was a travesty of third down ball placement delays.

JAX would be just fine in the playoffs even with David Garrard or Blake Bortles and the Tomlin Steelers as an opponent.

And fuck the Terrible Towel, it's as useful as a Penn State white out.

They are doing a tush push.

YOU try and stop and take a knee. I think you will find it is nigh impossible.

And again...you are TRAILING.

The more snaps you take to score, the more things that could happen.

the curse is real. :lol: fans doing something hasnt ever gotten em much but players doing something definitely has. fuck the jags fuck the bengals and fuck Steeler "fans" that are so scared they pretend to want their team to lose. so if it happens they can say its what they wanted. some browns shit rivht there. i know its a big thing on this site. u have to lose to get change. i dont agree but i understand the logic. u want tomlin gone who doesnt? u want the team to modernize who doesnt? but are u srsly telling me u would be mad if the steelers won a playoff game? what if they won two? still mad? even madder? what if they fucked around and won the afc championship? really pissed off? that my friend makes u not a fan of the team. now taking solace in a loss that maybe it puts pressure to change that makes sense ofc. but not being happy to see your team win is assinine bullshit. if ownership said "if we have a losing season we are firing tomlin" then ok but they havent said that theres tons of evidence and a damned good argument to say they wouldnt fire him no matter what. i am a fanatic supporter of the Steelers. when they play i want them to win. it makes me happy to see them win. fans of other teams esoecially thise in competition directly with us are happy when we lose. in the off season pull for and champion all the change u want. i do. real fans do. we want change but what we dont want is our team to lose. its fucking stoopid. maybe it rly is just the cancer i live with now that keeps it to the front of my mind but we all might die anyday. i want to see the Steelers win as many times as i can before i die. especially in the playoffs. u think losing now makes that happen, ok. i dont. i think tomlin leaves when he wants which is more likely after winning than losing. so fuck off saying fuck the towel and hating the team u say ur a fan of. srsly just fuck off. Go Steelers!

Wait

You’re allowed to score a TD in the 1st qtr of a playoff game?

And on your opening drive?

What kind of bullshit is this?

Romo did his best to ruin it.

DOINK!

The way thas games have been going, that could hurt.

Missing the XP last night is why Green Bay was driving for a TD instead of a game tying FG.

Deep bomb on 2nd and 2 didn´t work. Incomplete on 4th and 2. Niners deservedly slightly ahead. But, of course, early days.

How do they not have a quick slant ready against that defensive look on 4th and 2?

Hurts...you can't go outside against that look.

You're lucky that wasn't a pick six

All that's true, and again, McDermott obv agreed with you, but Cowher sort of didn't. Consider though, which is the greater risk...

-Josh Allen, considering there was no resistance from Jax, fucking up being able to take the snap and not score while not losing yardage, followed by not being able to score in 3 snaps from less than a yard away....and it's Josh Allen.

-Jax being able to move to midfield with a minute on the clock, from where their kicker can make a field goal to tie the game. Talking about two or three completions

I would say the second one entails the greater risk. I know teams don't do this McDermot elected not to and it worked out for Buffalo… But I think the short word to go was to not score in first down

Big risk no one is talking about.. an offensive penalty. Way more likely than a mishandled snap.

I’m thinking San Fran has identified some sort of tell, when Philly is going to run the ball.


They are consistently getting in the backfield on run plays, but not applying pressure on passing plays
