Steelers vs. Jaguars - 3rd Quarter Open Thread

A+ game from Arians and his offense so far. An early pick and one nice Jags drive keep this game close heading into halftime, but we're really in control through two quarters. The Jags won't be rolling over so it's imperative we play to win and go for the kill in the second half, not just hope to hold on.

 

GO STEELERS!

Offense, brilliant!

They called a hold on harrison’s guy, are these refs okay?

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 9:51 PM EDT   0 recs

Just giving up the ghost. Give it up jags, give it up.

Taking a knee

They are genuflecting to Dick LeBeau and the Steelers D.

thatneeds to change too.

stat lines

Nate: 5 for 82
Holmes: 3 for 54
Ward: 4 for 48
Heath: 4 for 43
Moore: 11 for 46 (and 2 rec for 13)
Russell: 4 for 20

The only problem is the missed passes.

Ben is throwing it an awful lot – 18 for 29. O-line is looking decent, no more false starts.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 9:58 PM EDT   0 recs

pressures been good

Garrads been on the run.

by Blitzburgh on Oct 5, 2008 10:00 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

No sacks yet, lots of hurries but we need the sacks.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 9:59 PM EDT   0 recs

Lebeau is the king of adjustments, but I’m not sure that we want to adjust…

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 9:59 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Garrard is a bowling ball

Seems like tacklers just slide off him while he barrels around.

by BallsofSteel on Oct 5, 2008 10:01 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I’m fine if he barrels for a yard or throws for incomplete passes though.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 10:01 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

garrard

Has done a nice job making a few would be sackers miss. But theres no denying the fact hes been under heavy pressure for most of that 2nd quarter.

by Blitzburgh on Oct 5, 2008 10:02 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Our Dline gets serious push and holds the point of attack on runs, I’m very impressed.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 10:03 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Agreed

We’re bashing them. Our front 3 are just pushing them back. I’d like to see a Timmons or Troy blitz up the middle, seeing how weak they are there. The sacks are a nice number, but they don’t tell the story of a dominating first half.

by BallsofSteel on Oct 5, 2008 10:04 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

BTW - Steelers only blitzed once

But it seems to be working. Remember Garrard’s highlights from last week. This is a very disciplined D

by SteelerBuddha on Oct 5, 2008 10:02 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

NFL.com says no sacks for the Steelers

by vin2k on Oct 5, 2008 10:01 PM EDT   0 recs

no - got it.....

I was off in la la land. Thought we were talking about Ben being sacked

by SteelerBuddha on Oct 5, 2008 10:02 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

They are way, WAY too in the game for how the numbers look. An INT for 7 and a good runback will do that for you though.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 10:02 PM EDT   0 recs

Collinsworth said we only blitzed once during the first half. Intersting stat considering the pressure we have been able to get.

by frankrmineo on Oct 5, 2008 10:02 PM EDT   0 recs

Ed bouchette had a good article on this today actually…

http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08279/917571-66.stm

We haven’t been blitzing much at all.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 10:04 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Bouchette is great, although he can be a condisending prick, espicially during hs live blogs

by frankrmineo on Oct 5, 2008 10:05 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

He is effectively the worlds largest douchebag in live chats. He writes much better articles than the other PG guys though.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 10:07 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

LOL - agree

but he is funny. People ask stupid shit. He give stupid answers.

by SteelerBuddha on Oct 5, 2008 10:07 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

sometimes when i am in his live chat I wonder why he even does it with his lack of effort

by frankrmineo on Oct 5, 2008 10:08 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

A lot of stupid questions, but sometimes he dodges a question I really want the answer to.

Douche.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 10:10 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

We MUST continue playing like this, absolutely must. This game and all future games.

Everyone does that nowadays, it’s sad. Myron Cope dissaproves from his cloud.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 10:06 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Moore has 46 yards on 11 carries, not bad.

by vin2k on Oct 5, 2008 10:06 PM EDT   0 recs

2nd half

We need to limit mistakes here and let the D carry us to victory if the offense doesnt click like it did in the first half. Itd be easy to think we have it all figured out on offense and force some things. If it’s not there, no mistakes!

by Blitzburgh on Oct 5, 2008 10:07 PM EDT   0 recs

man, what a difference TP makes.

by vin2k on Oct 5, 2008 10:07 PM EDT   0 recs

You see the pressure the Dline is getting? Damn.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 10:07 PM EDT   0 recs

I just hate Garrard with his fat ass

by Steeler Ric on Oct 5, 2008 10:08 PM EDT   0 recs

yes!

HUGE that we’re collapsing the pocket with our front 3. SO huge.

by Blitzburgh on Oct 5, 2008 10:08 PM EDT   0 recs

Too much pressure to make a good throw.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 10:08 PM EDT   0 recs

I take it you are past your first round? :)

HOLY CRAP STEEL NATION

Steelers passing and not getting sacked? 3 step drops? 300+ yards of offense at halftime? Jags only have 49 yards at half? Have only seen one smug look from JDR all night?

BE STILL MY HEART!

PS-Anyone think the D is just looking “average” tonight? Or am I just imagining that, because the O is on the field so long/doing so well?

by Romain El 82 on Oct 5, 2008 10:13 PM EDT   0 recs

I love that the steelers don’t have cheerleaders. Ladies are for after the game.
