I’ll take Brady.

Don't forget about Mr. Lemonade, Alan Branch. FWIW, both Harris and Branch were inactive against the Titans.

I believe Brady already has 7 Super Bowls... won 5.
January 14th, 2018 at 5:00 PM ^
I wouldn’t favor them in Foxboro next weekend, but I would at least give them a punchers chance.
January 14th, 2018 at 5:25 PM ^
It's the model from the 2007 and 2011 Giants' Super Bowl wins over the Pats. Generate great heat with only 4 down lineman, always drop 7, mix zone and man and play a low safety to beat up the slot on the shallow cross.
Jacksonville has an excellent chance if they don't Bortle it away with picks.

And needs to be heat up the middle. Tom is not fleet of foot, but he is the master of crafty in pocket manuevering to evade the rush - particularly when it comes off the edge.
Get a rush up in his face, don't allow him to slide into small pockets from where he can throw, and you have a formula to beat the Pats.
That said, Belicheck knows this and will scheme to get Gronk and scat backs to release on quick outs and screen passes to force the linebackers into difficult coverage matchups. IMO, this game is won based on the Jags ability to tackle in space and hold up the recievers (and Gronk) at the line of scrimmage for just long to let that pass rush get in Brady's face. Should be a good one.

I think this game will be won (or lost) based on Bortles. The Jags won't completely shut Brady down, but that pass rush has the ability to harass him all night long and possibly force him into making a mistake or two. Jalen Ramsey and Co. are a very opportunistic bunch. We all saw what the Giants and the Broncos were able to do to Brady in the postseason. With the level the Jags D plays at, it would be foolish to assume they can't do the same.
If Bortles plays like he did yesterday, and if the Jags D can hold the status quo, I give them an excellent chance to win. If Bortles plays like he did against Buffalo the week before, this game is already over. My guess is he plays somewhere in the middle.
This game will be close, and if Brady throws a bad pick at the wrong time I could see the Jags stealing this. But ultimately I can't bet against the GOAT. Especially when he's playing at home and is one game away from a playing for a sixth ring.
31-21 Pats.

I will settle for a Patrick Omameh vs. Alan Branch showdown in the trenches. Hopefully Branch is healthy enough to play next week.

Unfortunately most of Rich Rod's other ones didn't pan out.
January 14th, 2018 at 7:02 PM ^
He also signed undersized 3, 4 & 5 star guys that didn't pan out.

January 14th, 2018 at 5:05 PM ^
They need to put clock management, especially TOs , into someone else’s hands.
This was always a terrible match up for the Steelers. Play this game five times and the Jags win at least three.

I've seen a handful of steelers games this year, and their coaching staff is totally lost when it comes to game management and situational awareness.
Remarkable that they win so many games every year

in the playoffs. Quality franchise, shit coach. Guy is a glorified hype man / cheerleader. They've been choking away Super Bowl opportunities over the past decade. Cowher was also overrated regarding scheme and game management.
January 14th, 2018 at 4:58 PM ^
2 turnovers sure helped the Jags. One for a TD another inside the 20.
January 14th, 2018 at 5:03 PM ^
I hate Pittsburgh fans, fuck the steelers and fuck the penguins.
January 14th, 2018 at 5:27 PM ^
...and fuck the penguins, except Hagelin and Hunwick.

That was acually a missed PI call.
January 14th, 2018 at 5:09 PM ^
I know Fouts thought it should have been called, but I didn't think it was flagrant. Wilson got there close to the arrival of the ball and was making a play on it.

Ankles shattered? It wasn't that bad. He overran the play on the fake. Happens to a lot of guys. It wasn't like Roethlisberger juked him into grabbing/diving at air or turned him around.
