Anyone who was looking for a smashmouth brutal game on Monday night's Pittsburgh vs. Jacksonville game was not let down. In the past two years the battles between these two teams have been hard-fought, physically punishing, and fairly equally-matched. Two years ago a rookie Ben Roethlisberger led a charge with 1:50 left in the fourth quarter to overcome the Jaguars. A year ago the Steelers fell as substitute quarterback Tommy Maddox, who I could only assume was under the influence of heavy drugs while battling a flu and recovering from a incident involving a fork to the skull, was trampled by the Jags in overtime.
The battle this time was no different, if not more intense. Jaguars defenders were harassing Steelers receivers all night, enough pressure to make the collective ball drop of the Steelers comparable to a New Years Eve in Times Square. When they did manage to get their hands on a catch, they were rocked. Not too much different on the other side, the Steelers kept it close all game, but in the end it was the Jaguars capitalizing off a brick wall defense and the Steelers just not getting it done.
This was an upset for me, aside from my picking Pittsburgh to pull this game off, I was disappointed in seeing this team lose. Taking nothing away from the Jaguars, as they are a high caliber team, but you can't blame the Jaguars for dropped catches, missed tackles, and overthrown passes. That's not the postseason Steelers team that wrecked Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Denver last year.
As for the Jacksonville, you have to respect the offense cutting into one of the best defenses in the league, as well as shutting out the Pittsburgh attack. A test comes against the Colts this Sunday, which Ken Hawk will be observing while nursing his bachelor party hangover. If he's not busy concealing the dead hooker from the night before.

That was a hell of a (boring) football game last night. I can't believe the Steelers got goose-egged.
HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!
BTW Ken, keep your unit away from bread. Very rarely are the results desired.
I was getting pissed, what with a whole scoreless half, that camera might as well have just stayed on those Jaguar cheerleaders! But watching some hard hits and having some beers with friends at Buffalo Wild Wings kept me pretty entertained.
(I might have to make an internet cartoon of that dick in the bun gag damn that would be hilarious)
That cartoon would be classic.
