Simon Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 If the scoring had been due to offensive ineptness it would have been dull. But it was a nasty physical streetbrawl between two teams with great defenses that genuinely dislike each other. That made it good stuff in my book.

JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted September 20, 2006 Author Posted September 20, 2006 It seemed to me that Jacksonville must've hacked into the Steelers radio calls to the QB because at least one defender was always RIGHT THERE whenever a runner or receiver got the ball. Agree tho - it was fun to watch. Reminded me of the 2000 season opener between the Bills & Titans.

Reminded me of the 2000 season opener between the Bills & Titans. An excellent parallel. I'm surprised you recall it as that was teh day you don't remember meeting me briefly.
BuffOrange Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Yeah, very good game. Jax really kicked their ass on the stat sheet.
ajzepp Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 I'm really impressed with Matt Jones, too. I can only imagine how scary the guy would be if he had a more prolific passer throwing to him, not that Leftwich ball is chopped liver. I've seen both of their games so far, and those two have a chance to be something really special this year.

MartyBall4Buffalo Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 I absolutly loved the game last night . A defensive struggle at its best mixed in by just enough offense for the jags to prevail. Hard hitting all around. Donovan Darius is a fun safety to watch he was looking to just kill people last night, and rashean mathis is proving once again hes one of the best corners no ones heard of. The jags defense all around smothered the steelers. Only one drive past the midfield for pitt and that came in the 1st quater, no runs over 8 yards no 30 yard drives. It was also good to see tough hard running out of fred taylor. The Jags d looked phenomanal, but if they want to go deep into the playoffs assuming they get there they need fred taylor to stay healthy. Easier said then done.

He's an interestign player, though....I enjoy watching him on that offense.

Simon Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 I stopped drinking when the game started 780226[/snapback] In that case it's probably just as well that I had to leave as I'd probably have made an ass out of one of us.
