It's Jacksonville Jagoffs Week!

As long as there's time and the score will allow for a win and Ben is playing, I always feel like Ben will find a way to make plays and give the Steelers a chance at winning. As bad as he was playing, I just had a feeling that at some point it would all come together and Ben and the offense would put up the requisite number of points to win the game. He's been successful far more than he's failed in those situations so its easy to believe that with time and the ball that Ben will find a way to win. I'm going to miss watching him play someday, he's the most exciting quarterback in the game because if his ups and downs in the same game and sometimes within the same drive.

The one play where I lost my cool and started slapping my mattress in frustration was when Conner dropped the swing pass where he could have walked in untouched for the game winning TD.

That could have been a devastating, demoralizing drop.

But Ben treated it like SBXLIII when Santonio dropped the easy TD in the left corner of the end zone, and came right back with the much more difficult game winner to Santonio in the right corner of the end zone instead

Similarly, Conner dropped that easy pass to the left side with nothing but green grass between him and the end zone, and, after Switzer got his facemask grabbed resulting in a bogus INT, then Ben went back to the right side, I think fully intending to toss a quick shovel pass to Conner for a redemption TD, but when the Jags had that covered, he improvised to the goal line dive around Myles Jack (and somewhat through Matt Feiler) to reach the tip of the ball across the goal line before his knee was down.

It's never over until that clock reads 0:00. Yeah, baby...

I really didnt like them clocking it on first and goal. Got a few free first downs from it, but why not have a quick pass dialed up for that situation

How weird was this game yesterday?

Throughout this thread during the game, with numerous posters who could not possibly jump off the Steeler bandwagon fast enough, including questioning the overall manhood of our team and its major players, the only poster who showed even a glimmer of hope that we might possibly be able to come back and win this game was......drum roll, please....

Squidkid.

Kudos, squid.

Being realistic, anyone that watched the game until the end held onto hope.

If someone gave up all hope, they stopped watching and did something else.

It's ok to react irrationally in the heat of the moment. It shows we care. And I'd argue that's a real fan. Someone that's calm and patient and not screaming at the team, the tv, etc., that person is too rational to be considered a fanatic.

I say celebrate big when we win. Go down in a blaze of glory when we lose. Feel the emotional roller coaster. No reason to bottle it up and swallow it. It's cathartic to release. By definition of being fanatical, we should leave all sensibility at the door when we enter the zone of watching the game.

Jaguars will stick with Blake Bortles

Posted by Josh Alper on November 19, 2018, 3:00 PM EST

The Jaguars didn’t have much interest in having Blake Bortles throw the ball during Sunday’s game against the Steelers, but they aren’t making a quarterback change.

Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said on Monday that Bortles will start against the Bills in Week 12.

Bortles attempted only 18 passes while getting sacked six times and running twice in Sunday’s 20-16 loss to Pittsburgh. The Jaguars were up 16-0 in that game, but went three-and-out four times after the Steelers got on the board late in the third quarter. The last of those drives ended when the Steelers stopped running back Leonard Fournette on a third-and-five run from their own 30-yard-line after the two-minute warning.

Those 18 attempts and the 104 passing yards they generated were both season lows for Bortles, who was benched in Week Seven but has otherwise remained a part of the first team this season.

Cody Kessler and Landry Jones are the other quarterbacks on the Jaguars roster.

Jaguars cut Landry Jones, sign Corey Robinson

Posted by Charean Williams on November 19, 2018, 3:25 PM EST

The Jaguars decided to stick with starting quarterback Blake Bortles. They decided not to stick with third-string quarterback Landry Jones.

The team cut Jones on Monday, leaving Bortles and Cody Kessler as the only quarterbacks on the roster.

Jacksonville signed Jones on Oct. 31 as insurance after Bortles injured his left shoulder in London.

Jones spent the previous five seasons with the Steelers. He completed 64 percent of his passes for 1,310 yards with eight touchdowns with seven interceptions.

The Jaguars signed fourth-year offensive lineman Corey Robinson to take Jones’ roster spot.

Robinson has appeared in 24 career games with eight starts after originally entering the league as a seventh-round choice of the Lions in 2015. He spent three seasons in Detroit and was traded to Carolina on Sept. 1.

Robinson appeared in one game for Carolina before the Panthers waived him Sept. 25.
