  1. Glanced at this and thought it was Warren Sapp. I was like, WTF?

    Start rooting for the Steelers losing on either a last second field goal or being stopped on the 1 as time expires trailing by 6

    I don’t think there will be a meltdown if they lose.

    There will be a meltdown if they win but shouldn’t have.

    That was a hell of a touchdown catch by Bell. Now let's see if the Steelers can stop the Jaguars with Fournette.

    Yep, we have a game.

    That unnecessary roughness call on Ramsey was BS. He got blocked into Bell.

    Was it unnecessary roughness or unsportsmanlike conduct? I think it was the latter. It's still a bad call, but if I'm right, the flag may have been not for the hit on the ball-carrier but for the push on the blocker. Again, that action doesn't warrant a flag, either.

    Keep throwing the ball, Jaguars.

    Jacksonville getting murdered by the screens.

    Couldn't recall which. Either way, BS call.

    Meanwhile, I wasn't aware that the Falcons put on the Jags uniforms.

    Steelers go for two more than any other team.

    Would they do it if they cut the lead to 28-27?

    It was unsportsmanlike conduct, but yes, a bad call. Given the missed holding calls against Jacksonville in the first half, I'll happily see Pittsburgh get a bad call in its favor.

    I doubt it. Maybe if it's in the final seconds and they go for the win rather than play for overtime.

    Artie Burns just made a key play on third down for the second time today, but Bortles has helped him out a both times with throws behind his receivers.
