With Shazier not there that means more targets for Lewis..

Plus James Shnaussesy too..

Also Fournette can just pound the middle..

Someone should relay this message A.S.A.P.  To bortles and marrone. Breaking news like Shazier being out needs to be spread. I’m sure Without the one player the Steelers havnt been able to stop any body. And especially can’t keep up with elite players like Lewis and our back up TE. And our injured rookie and ineffective oline will just mow down the Steelers with Shazier gone. Idk how the Steelers even got in the playoffs without him!
Ben roethlisberger with cheese 3 INTs.
Let's goooooooooooooooo

Please Bortles....... please entire offense.
I was nervous for the game last week. I have a sense of poise this week. Even if we lose i'm okay with it. We gave it a good run. I hope the game isn't too frustrating. I think we can win the game but I'm not too excited about going to play New England. That being said I'd like to see us give them a good shot. The Steelers already had their chance.

BUSINESS TRIP.

********Update ******
It's now 322 am.
Gameday and I too can not sleep....
This is soooooo frustrating but beautiful at the same time
I woke up @ 5:30 and couldn't go back to sleep... It's going to be a long morning.
GO JAGS!
The last time we were in the playoffs, ten years ago, we had to go in to Pittsburgh and pull off an unlikely win for a chance to advance to the next round. This would require the Jags to do something that had never been accomplished before... Win a second game, in Pittsburgh, in the same season.

The spoils of that war was the privilege of playing Tom Terrific, in Foxborough, the following week.

We won, and we went....

Here's to a repeat.... DILLY DILLY!
I haven't been this anxious for a football game in a week.
The Jaguars can do this!   

DJ and Bucky believe in the Jags!
We should only be focused on doing one thing to the Steelers today:

Ahh.....yess!!!!!! Oooohh!!!! Ahhh!!!!

Obviously we know the jags can win this game and Antonio Brown is banged up.
