Week 5: Pittsburgh Steelers (2-2) @ Jacksonville Jaguars (0-4)

[37]

Fresh off a humiliating loss to the Bucs at home, Pitt travels down south to face the winless Jags......Maybe Pitt would like to generate some pressure against the young Bortles and force him into a turnover or two.....Maybe Pitt would like to cut out all the inexcusable boneheaded penalties from last week.....Maybe the O-Line would like to keep Ben upright.....Fully expecting another last-second nailbiter.....Discuss

Not going to lie, the Steelers losing back to back games to the Bucs and Jags would make me very happy.

Bortles is gonna throw for at least 300 yards.

Steelers still win though, but they don't do too much to restore any kind of faith in them.

If the Steelers struggle with Ben Jr. and old man Mercedes, the chorus of complaints will be louder than after last weeks loss.

Jags defense (mainly back seven) is putrid. Pittsburgh wins.

Yep even though they are #2 in sacks, the LBs and DBs are leaving people wide open

And it's probably not going to get much better as the year goes on. Let's just throw all the hope on Bortles. Get us into shootouts, Bortles, and we'll have a few chances.

Steelers offense is incredible until they get inside the 20 yard line.

How do you go offside on the kickoff TWICE IN A ROW?

Re: Week 5: Pittsburgh Steelers (2-2) @ Jacksonville Jaguars (0-4)

finally some signs of life from the Pitt offense.....hate that Bell didn't get a touch once they got inside the 10......and is a WR screen necessary on basically every possession?

Re: Week 5: Pittsburgh Steelers (2-2) @ Jacksonville Jaguars (0-4)

You have Bell and Blount at your disposal, and you call 3 pass plays inside the 10? Brilliant!!!

Re: Week 5: Pittsburgh Steelers (2-2) @ Jacksonville Jaguars (0-4)

holy crap....Pitt forces a turnover....nice play by Cortez

Re: Week 5: Pittsburgh Steelers (2-2) @ Jacksonville Jaguars (0-4)

An interception by the defensive backs TWO WEEKS in a row? I'm stunned.

But much less surprising, the Steelers do nothing with great field position after the turnover.

Re: Week 5: Pittsburgh Steelers (2-2) @ Jacksonville Jaguars (0-4)

Twice in the first half they have 1st and Goal. Both times they don't run the ball one time but three passes are called. I just don't get it. Especially with the way they're running the ball. Thankfully they got in the endzone the second time, but still. Makes no sense.

Ben gotta find a way to hold onto the ball and save 3 points there....hope that isn't the difference-maker......

Edit: Thank you McCain

much-needed W to stem the tide.......defense forcing multiple turnovers was a pleasant surprise.....thought the O got a bit pass-happy at times....RZ offense still bogs down.....didn't have a multitude of stupid penalties.....overall, nothing really spectacular but a game Pitt simply couldn't drop
