Made my day, ol Squealers lose 45-42.

Sort of surprised refs didn't find a way to give it to them in the end

Yea, I had that one all wrong. After Jax's offensive performance vs. the Bills last week, I would have bet the farm that they wouldn't have scored 30 let alone 45.

The "steel curtain" looked more like aluminum foil today.

I had it all wrong, too. Only 50% this weekend & quite nearly just 25%. Glad I was wrong about the stealers.

I looked at my tiebreaker for this weekend's pick-um contest. For the the most points scored I had picked Atlanta and for the fewest points scored I went with Jacksonville. Atlanta scored 10 and Jacksonville 45.

Ha! I’d have chosen the jags for the least amount of points. One thing I predicted correctly - Tony Romo would irritate me.

Kinda like predicting in which direction from which the sun will rise, huh?

Romo doesn't bother nearly as much as Gruden did. Glad he's gone.

Ultimately the Steelers fell down in two of the three areas that are inherently mandatory to beat Jacksonville, stop the run, pressure Bortles into early throws.... they did finds success in one of the three areas sporadically, they are horrible on the back end ( safeties haven't the speed to cover deep balls) but without the ability to keep them from chewing clock and methodically gaining first down after first down they couldn't garner a lead.

I'm not entirely sure NE can stop the run, if they can, expect NE to shred them, if not, another shootout with Brady unhooking long ball after long ball.
