They put up 45 on the best D and ben tossed for over 400

That one is on the steelers D.

What a wild game. I don't think anyone expected it to go like it has so far.

Yep that was a crazy game!

That onside kick decision at the end is going to be ripped to shreds over the next few days.

Biggest pet peeve in sports is when people call a team in a different country, "my" - as if they own the team.

The "my" is more a term denoting "my favourite team" as opposed to ownership...

LOL - no worries... I wasn`t intending to be rude... just a pet peeve I have always had. Not saying you do it, but I know a lot of people who refer to teams as "my ____" when they are doing well, and "the _____" when they are doing bad or have a bad game.

Steelers should sign Medlock. That onside kick was brutal!

It was brutal - but not only that, the decision to go for an onside kick was brutal too. Should have put some confidence in his defense.

Decision was "questionable" in my opinion. I don't remember...how many timeouts did the Steelers have at that point?

Agreed 100%. Steelers offense had a very good day after starting out slow.

Two timeouts and 2 minute warning... so 3 stoppages. Brutal decision in my opinion.

Okay, with 2 timeouts at that stage, then yes I agree with you.

Don't underestimate the impact Scott Milanovich has had on the Jaguars success. He's really made Bortles into a half decent NFL QB.
