    Just watched the highlights for both games. Jags/Steelers is a bizarre game. I don't know how Jacksonville got out to that big of a lead or how they managed to hold off Big Ben willing Pittsburgh down the home straight.

    I think Mike Tomlin has to take the blame here.

    You're a defensive coach. You're playing against a team with a weak quarterback (Jags). You had two weeks to prepare. You've already played the Jags once this year and got smacked. Buffalo held the Jags to 10 points the week before. Surely the plan is to stop the run and make Bortles beat you with his arm - nope instead his defense gets absolutely shredded.

    Tomlin has to be in the conversation for the most overrated coach in the league.

    They were too busy planning for the Patriots.

      I don't think any of us mentioned that the Titans choose to let their head coach Mike Mularkey walk (he wasn't that good anyway) on Tuesday. They just did a quick search and have announced former Pats LB/TE Mike Vrabel will be their new head coach. Vrabel was defensive co-ordinator for the Texans this season.
      Thought they would have at least waited until the New England co-ordinators were free to talk to them.

        @sneakdefreak looks like both New England Coordinators are locked into jobs - McDaniels to Colts, Patricia to Lions.

          McDaniels to the Colts surprises me. After his struggles with the Broncos I thought he'd be looking to set himself up as heir to Belicheck. I guess with a settled qb situation, good draft capital and a couple of seasons of poor results damping fan expectations the Colts could be a good bet.

                    Bortles passes 4 yds for the TD!!! 🙂 No way the Jags are going to win this game, 0% 😉

                      Fournette scores a TD down the middle. No way the Jags can keep this up

                        The dangerous time for the Jags will come if they suddenly start to believe they will win the game. That's when the Patriots have you right where they want you. Just ask Matty Ice!!

                          This is all building up for the traditional Brady comeback....you'll hear the NFL films music playing in the background when it happens.

                            I don't want Romo to do another Patriot's game. He spends most of the game sucking off Brady.

                              So just like when he played, he's second fiddle to Tom

                                The gap is too tight, the Jags need to be at least another score up midway through the 4th
