Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Jacksonville Jaguars: Game Thread/Live Blog

PrintWelcome to the Big Show. The Jacksonville Jaguars are the feature entertainment as they face off with their historical rival, the Pittsburgh Steelers. Our friends at Behind the Steel Curtain will be live blogging the game, if you're interested in seeing what the terrible towels are thinking as the Jaguars envicerate their offensive line and send the Steelers home with a loss.
Yes, I'm being that confident about it. This was a long week, and all I've looked forward to was sitting at home, watching the game, and relaxing with a beer. Instead, I'll be watching the game on my Computer, at work, as I muck through a very long list of things to do.
So if you're having a beer during the game, have one for me. If you're in Missouri and watching the game, have a very tall vodka drink for me.
Consider this an open thread/live blog. I demand that since I can't watch this with friends, that we make a "sports bar" in the comments.

Ouch
They really need to establish some type of way to win…
How long has it been since they were better than 8-8?
I feel bad for any Texans fans out there, having a win stolen from you can really ruin a week.
Like I said before, these next 2 games will define the Jags season. We win these 2, we have 3 mediocre teams ahead and could easily be 7-2 when Tennessee comes to Jacksonville.

Should be a good game
Steeler fan, here. Not a trash talker, just enjoy seeing what the other side is thinking. This should be a great game between two banged up but gutsy teams. Garrard has been looking great, but so has the Steelers pass rush. Ben is hurt, but always dangerous. Let the fun begin! Good luck.
I love when our teams play
It brings out some great memories…
To the AFC Central

Ha!
The good old AFC central. Its funny time goes by and you forgot certain things. I was out of the country for most of the time that Jags were in the AFC central. Much better division than the current AFC North. What ever they do the Browns and Bengals find ways to suck.

First Monday Night Game
When he came out with the Kordell Stewart doll and proceeded to beat it up 10 ft away from the Pittsburgh huddle is still a classic moment. How many rules have been enacted because of him?

Movement
It looked like a lot of movement on the Line on that 3rd down.
They just showed the replay
I think the ref got the wrong number. It looked like a big guy to me.

Penalties
What are we the Raiders? What is with these stupid penalties?
And another 3rd and long converted

Peterson has been very poor in coverage this year
and they score a touchdown as Mike bites on the run and gets beat on the pass. It may be time to play Smith in the middle with Durant and Ingram outside.
Yea so much for him “playing angry” this year. The front office saw it coming before everybody else. I’m sure somebody will sign him in the offense to a big contract and regret it.

I just hope JDR sees it soon
and takes him out, at least on passing downs. He’s killing our pass defense.

Ok I’m now sickk of this worst defense in the Red Zone label, the D needs to pick it up!
Also, what was up with Fred Taylor back to return the kick?

Williams was in Bob Marley mode for that take.

There is the Deep Ball finally it works somewhat.
Nice!
Matt Jones, I take back everything I’ve ever said about MJ
Big Cat Country!:: The Official Home of the Unofficial Blog of the Jacksonville Jaguars!
TOUCHDOWN MJD!!!

Even though that was incomplete that deep ball was still really well thrown by Garrard

It looks like the Jags crowd noise is getting to Pittsburgh, all of these false starts.
Keep on going backwards...

They're picking on James
and we’re giving them far too big of a cushion for a team that’s looking to throw short.

Noticed that
the refs missed at least two false starts on Marvel Smith
by SteelerBuddha on Oct 5, 2008 9:11 PM EDT up reply actions
You guys are winning
But its been an interesting game so far. The interception was flukey, I think Holmes slipped out of the break. Apart from that the game looks pretty even. Both teams are converting long third downs, keeping drives alive. I like the way our offense looks.
The Steelers haven't even attempted to throw a pass of 15 yards+
so why are our CB’s 10 yards off the receivers on every snap?
That's much better
Rashean pressed on Ward and made Ben go through his progressions instead of throwing to the first look.
by Ryan Rosenblatt on Oct 5, 2008 9:11 PM EDT up reply actions
Ingram would have been beat on that 3rd down throw
Glad to have Durant back
Quibble #2
Why does every game have to include the Lincoln commercials with the butchered version of Space Oddity?

Or throw it away earlier

Sensabaugh should be there over the top, knowing that theyre picking on james
BIG STOP
The D needs a big play or big stop here, no more long Pittsburgh drives.
How about that Podlesh...

Big Cat Country!:: The Official Home of the Unofficial Blog of the Jacksonville Jaguars!
huh.
What’s the flag for Jawing?
Big Cat Country!:: The Official Home of the Unofficial Blog of the Jacksonville Jaguars!
3rd and 11
we know where Ben will be on this one. You don’t have to honor the run. We better hit Ben here.
Where is the Offense?
How many 1:30 drives can we have?
Since our TD on our first offensive drive
we’ve got 3 on out on each possession.

I hope every TE we play the rest of the season will atleast have the courtesy to bring lube.

If I see Peterson out there again on a passing down
I’m going to strangle each member of the coaching staff.
wow.
I just want this half to be over, but with 45 ticks left on the clock we better try something especially if Witherspoon has a good run back.
Let's take a look at it
Our offense was poor and our defense was poor, but we’ve got special teams going for us!
Still at work...
Thankfully the NFL.com feed is solid.
I’d like to see our offense have the ball for more than two min.

The Steel O line line holds on nearly every play
Starting to piss me off. B Will gets called for yapping, but Holmes hands the ball to Mathis after a long catch and there is no call there, or when Ward is putting his hands in Mathis’ face mask.
The refs are paying the steelers back...
For the wild card game

I call that even at best considering B Will got facemasked
and yet he got called for the hold on WARD that was nonexistant. That gave them 6 points. VS the weak holding call that allowed us to get another 3 points.
What does that mean?

yet again its in the hands of the D to get a stop.
and the Offense needs to wake up soon.
Intended
That was intended for Matt Jones and knocked down. Jones looked like he would have gotten it.
If we were going to go for it on 4th
why was every receiver running routes of 8+ yards on 3rd down? Run somebody underneath if they’re going to give it to you and take 4th and 2 or 3.

Walker
OK, Walker is catching the ball, and getting open. Now can he practice getting beyond the sticks? Nothing kills me more than a receiver who doesn’t look for the line.
Most of Pitts secondary was playing at the line, it was either throw short and see if you can break a tackle or risk throwing into double coverage past the sticks

damn, another 4th qtr lead given away by the defense.
There are so many problems right now I dont know where to begin.
I don't think it was that bad actually
The main problem is the run blocking. We have no running lanes.
Well...
We got pressure on the QB. If there weren’t so many holds we would have had more stats to show for it. Special teams did well given their few chances. The D got a lot better once B Will moved to CB. The LB’s reduced the number of short passes caught. The run was stopped most of the times minus that long run(more holding here). The pass blocking was good considering who we were facing. Our TE’s finally got a TD, and so did our D. Walker, Matt Jones, and Greg Jones looked good. Fred Taylor was dancing too much for a weaker O line. Prioleau played well and so did Sensy. The D got some swagger late. Beware future teams on our schedule. We are out for blood.
