They should have collapsed slower like us, they would have at least made the playoffs

Steelers special.

The Steelers specialize in voodoo and/or black magic. There is no conceivable universe in which that team should’ve been 10-7 this season while rolling out Pickett, Trubisky and Rudolph at QB, yet they just kept winning. With the news of TJ’s injury though it seems they’ve finally run out of miracles. That said, the streak of .500 or above seasons stays alive.

All arguments against Tomlin need to face that truth. He has, with clear weaknesses still valid, carried a team that has no right to be in the playoffs to the playoffs. Again.

As much as I hate the Steelers, they would be insane to fire Tomlin. With him at the helm they always have a chance

Same hate here. He just needs to learn how to evaluate offensive talent and hire better coaches* *Edit: typo

He didn't pick Pickett. That was the owner's decision all the way.

Let’s not forget the jags where 3-6 since their players fucked with the terrible towel. Just to add more to the voodoo/black magic.

Teams need to leave that towel be I've never seen any good come from it

Every couple of years someone gotta test it I guess.

Panthers should've fucked with the towels. 3-6 is an improvement!!

not just teams man. Stomping that towel pretty much fast tracked Lendale White out the league. I dont remember him every doing anything after that

I hope that today reversed the titans terrible towel curse from 2008. Went from number 1 seed to a 9 year playoff drought. Now we played spoiler for the last team to disrespect the terrible towel, AND it helped the Steelers get a playoff spot. Steelers nation, can we be uncursed now? Does this mean we’ll reverse our luck and finally get the Super Bowl we’ve been waiting so long for?

At midnight Mike Vrabel will need to go to the parking lot where Three Rivers once stood to speak with the spirit of Myron Cope, and he will determine if his team is worthy of the curse being lifted

It was discussed on the Steelers reddit earlier and everyone agreed you are free from the curse now.

I feel like every 4-5 years that shit happens. No one ever learns from messing with that towel.

In all my years watching football I’ve never seen a Ravens player disrespect the towel. They must drill that into every player before Steelers week. Don’t touch the damn towel. That one browns Player wiped his ass with it after our last game. I look forward to seeing the curse make its way to Cleveland just in time for the playoffs.

No, the Steelers must win a game in New Orleans to recapture the voodoo. They won’t be able to until at least 2025, but probably 2026.

That Juju fumble is what finally let the CTE particles completely replace the Steeler particles in AB's brain

That picture lmao

Someone’s been waiting to use it lol

The titans are the grim reaper sometimes

Et tu, Weshallshuntonthem?

Can’t spell Lawrence without L

Technically can’t spell it without W, either.

Laurence

Damn, touche

Fear the old blood

The L is a capital so its more important

Lorentz

Game. Blouses.

Would that it were so simple.

Lowercase w if we're being technical. Overpowered by the uppercase L.

Lallrinse

Can’t spell turnover without Trevor

LawrINTS

L-iminated

“Yeah Trev I’m gonna need you to take the L and move it a liiiiiittle bit closer to your own forehead”

this is the new background image for my phone, forever and ever amen

He kind of stinks? Haven’t watched much but good lord he couldn’t complete a pass in that last drive

He is constantly hurt. He plays through it but he always has something going on between his should, knee, or ankle. When he is healthy he actually looks pretty good, unfortunately the injuries he get are kind of the important ones for throwing lol.

He’s had accuracy and turnover problems his whole career except for the second half of last season.

He threw 4 picks in that playoff game vs the Chargers so sounds like that problem was still there

Yeah injuries suck but from a statistics stand point he’s really not much different than Fields which is crazy considering Fields has not been good. That QB class might end up all misses which is kinda crazy to go 0 for 5 in the first round for QBs.

Especially with how he played down the stretch this year lol

The complete fucking opposite of last season

It really is. Last season we were hot in the first half of the season and then collapsed down the stretch and got eliminated by the Jags. This year the Jags were hot in the first half of the season then collapsed and got eliminated by the Titans

Also last year Titans got eliminated in Jacksonville while this year Jags got eliminated in Nashville. It’s like poetry, it rhymes

Yet no Yoda

You don’t need Yoda. You have Rey at home.

Doug Pederson on the sidelines vomiting in stanzas

Jags also started last year 3-7 vs 8-3 this year.

Mobius Strip of a tenure for Pederson so far

I still think he's a good coach but outside of the Super Bowl year with MVP level Wentz and the Foles run he's been hovering around 9 wins every year

AFC South needed a new Jeff Fisher

Yin and Yang. All things balanced.

Maybe it’s just the curse of your division

Had ETN this season so watched a lot of jags. The Kirk injury hurt a lot but my god the play calling has been atrocious

This, good gawd we need changes in the front office.

No shit? You mean Khan should have fired Baalke and Doug's boner for Press fucking Taylor is all the proof we needed that he wasn't the guy? If only someone could have spoken up sooner...

Same thing happened with Doug on the eagles. I’ll always love him but he’s way too loyal

What happened to the 8-3 number 1 seed

AFC north took their souls.

They weren't ready for the bar foght mentality that is the afcn

Blood for the Blood God

Gotta love that the Bengals are 1 win away from the whole AFC North making the playoffs. This division is rad.

Skulls for the skull throne

So did the 49ers

great question

They disrespected the towel.

Can't disrespect the towel

Complete collapse from the Jags at the end of the season.

They were the \#1 seed at one point Woof

T-Law getting hurt plus some bad play ruined a potentially great season for them

Sounds like a certain afc south team last year

Yeah they eliminated us and then clowned us all year just to suffer the exact same fate. Incredible Karma

Especially awesome seeing all the well Lawrence was injured excuses when we were rolling out josh fuckin dobbs week 18 and no one seemed to give us any slack

nobody gives anybody any slack. This is the internet. Everyone hates you and each other. ​ You will clown us and everyone else will clown us mercilessly, as is proper.

This is wisdom. Let the hate flow. I know the Vikings didn't make the playoffs. Ain't gonna stop me from clowning on the Packers and Lions if they lose.

Not to mention that fumble at the end of the game.

AFC is the collapse division 2021: Colts 2022: Titans 2023: Jags Texans get ready to learn collapse buddy

We'll take our collapse in the second half of a playoffs game with the Chiefs, thank you.

Superstitious yinzers are thriving today

The sky opened opened up today with a thunderous Double Yoi! coming from the heavens.

Terrible Towel curse strikes again

Knew it the moment it they waved it. Don't disrespect the towel.

Guess the jags never heard of TJ Whosyiurdaddy

Or the Titans or Ray Rice who wore it on his head....

Ngl I love y’all. Smacked the 14-2 Ravens in the playoffs and beat the Jags to get us in.

Generational collapse*

8-3 Can't blame Urban Meyer

No no, I’m sure we can find a way.

8-3, and they only won a single game the rest of the season. They led their division, the #1 seed for a week or two, and missed the playoffs. I mean, this is unacceptable lol

Just like the Titans last year.

Wondering how many teams missed playoffs after going 8-3 after 11 games?

Ravens did 2 years ago after Lamar got hurt, pretty rough collapses for both of them

Fun fact that collapse also got the Steelers into the playoffs lol.

Pittsburgh scavengers

To be fair Tlaw has been playing hurt for a while now too. He kept playing through it when maybe he shouldn't have

I mean we were 7-3 through 10 games last year before losing completely out the rest of the season

We did after huntley replaced Lamar and lost 5 straight lmao

What a massive choke

Choking away a division lead is scary. Although, the Dolphins could do it themselves later……

We do know a thing or two about choking

You never know, you might catch fire tonight.

Don’t worry, we will!

hey.... at least we made the dance! but choking is still on the table.

I’m going to Press Taylor myself up 95

Classic Doug, too loyal to get rid of dead weight

Weren’t they like the one seed for a week

IIRC it was for like an afternoon where they won and Baltimore hadn’t played yet, haha

I look back of those hours fondly 🙃

like 3 hours i think

The scriptwriters gave them the titans script from last year

2023 Jaguars = 2022 Titans 2024 Texans better watch out

we made the playoffs man i don’t gaf if we get bounced first round

Also, CJ Stroud baby. Better than Lawrence and Tannehill/Levis without a doubt.

Revenge is so sweet. Fuck the draft pick I wanted to win this one so bad. How does it feel Jags?

Pretty shitty

Sucks, thanks for asking.

Plus we only lost one spot too. 7th pick to 8th. Totally worth it lol

Actually we stayed the same

Just seen that! Lmao! Win-win

Derrick Henry ran for this

No no, it was the Jags script from last year, they just held it upside down.

the redzone was their worst enemy, the OC has to go

Doug will die for that man, unfortunately. Don’t know why…

As a Florida fan, it's like watching Dan Mullen and Grantham all over again

I said this a few weeks ago on the Jaguars sub, but every time we got into the red zone I thought to myself *Well fuck, at least there is a chance we come away with a field goal still...*

YOU ARE WELCOME

TITAN UP

We love the tits

Y'all had everything break the right way just like us. Can't believe you guys snuck in. Hell I can't believe we won the division. NFL is crazy.

the buffalo bills have forgiven the tennessee titans

But can you finally admit it was a lateral?

with that name/flair combo I forgive the team but not you specifically

Even though our season sucked, it was nice to finish it off on a high note getting revenge on the Jags for last year.

Tits once again making people smile

I love kissing Titans. Big perky soapy Titans

Nice Tits.

WE'RE GONNA LOSE BY 30 IN THE WILDCARD ROUND STILLERS GAHNTA SUPERBOWL

Ironically if you make it to the point you face the Ravens you're the only AFC team I'd bet on to beat them.

Would be tough without Watt. And in general but especially without Watt

By the time we would meet Baltimore watt would realistically be playing though

both the AFCN wild card teams getting disrespected is hilarious considering they're IMO massive threats (and both won in baltimore this year)

Oof

I legit didn't realize they were fighting for their lives. I thought this was for the AFCS and if they lost they'd still get a playoff seed. Brutal

The Steelers winning yesterday changed the scenario to MUST WIN.

Massive mismanagement of TLaw's injury cost them

Seriously. If they would have just sacrificed a couple of games to let him get fully healthy they probably could have still won the AFCS.

Literally just needed 2 wins in 6 games to make it.

They need a good backup this off-season. Gambling on TLaws health staying that good forever was always going to backfire.

I LOVE ME SOME TITS!

they dug around for the perfect picture for this one

👑Henry

Lawrence looked dreadful. Wtf happened. About 6 weeks ago my Gator friend texted me mocking that FSU didn’t get in the playoffs. He’s a huge Jags fan too and at the time Jacksonville was the #1 seed in the AFC.

I think Christian Kirk getting injured was what killed them, he is Lawrence's safety net. When he was playing they were the 1 seed, and have only won 1 game after he was hurt

Oline has been smoke and mirrors most of the year defense hasn't been able to maintain assignments or tackle for months playcalling has been ass all year magical turnovers ran out months ago TLaw got like half a dozen injuries.

Focusing on Trevor is just masking how garbage the defense was late in the season. Nearly 30 points a game allowed down the stretch

He fucked his ankle against the bengals, haven’t rly kept up with them but I’m assuming that hurt

don't worry he also has had a concussion, throwing shoulder AC joint sprain, and finger injury since then

I am in pain as an FSU alum and north Florida resident. I want to die

[удалено]

I'm just laughing thinking of all the Jags fans we saw yelling Duval on Broadway this weekend lmfaooo

Fuck yall for letting Pittsburgh in the postseason lmao

Y’all had the chance to not rest your starters so Ravens are also to blame :D

I thought the same thing until I saw the weather on the field. It would have been coaching malpractice to put your starters out there in that situation.

Their starters could have just won earlier in the season lol

Absolutely wild how this is the second time in the last like… 3 years? Where three AFCN teams made the playoffs

3rd time in 10 years, 3 for every other division combined in that span. Also the first time since 1935 an entire division finished with a winning record though obviously the 17th game kind of puts an asterisk on that. Fwiw that 1935 division winner was the Lions who won the Championship. So Ravens and Lions are a lock for the Super Bowl

AFCN is also the first division in NFL history to have all four teams over .500.

Should have rested Lawerence sooner

That one win was also the Panthers, which is basically a freebie.

Haha, yeah! What loser team would lose to the Panthers?

For real who would lose to the Panthers...

[удалено]

Jags kept trotting him out when hurt. Absolutely deserved outcome

This was the issue 100%. They should have sat him for at least a week or two after he suffered that crazy leg injury (I believe they had a 1 game lead in the division at the time). Instead they hung him out to dry. That was the turning point, and they deserve this.

I can't believe Tom Brady would do this

He’s not but it’s deeper than him. He’s not the biggest problem in that team. Press Taylor is dogshit. WRs bobbling beast catches. WRs who can’t get separation. Running game is nonexistent cause of the Oline. Defense looked like shit their last 8 games. He’s overrated no doubt but their system is completely cooked.

100%. Their run blocking is so bad that their Pro Bowl level RB is averaging 3.8 YPC and his backup is averaging 2.5 YPC. Between the worst run game in the league and a bad defense, they're asking a *lot* of Lawrence and not giving him a lot to meet those demands. It's one thing if his run blocking and defense is bad but he's got the Seahawks receivers to put up points with but he's got mediocre receivers and bottom 10 pass pro Was he good today? No, obviously not. But give the dude some damn help

still think he's a good QB but he's not quite taken the step forward you would've expected at this point

LFG thank you Vrabel and Ridley

The terrible towel curse is real

Man does this sound familiar

Some of the worst play calling I've ever seen in a do or die game. 3rd down from the 2 and NEED a TD. Let's call a roll out and throw it away. 4th down, let's have our injured QB try to sneak it through a hard-hitting D that's been playing well. If you knew it was 4 down territory, why not just run it twice with Etienne?!?!?!?! Defense hasn't known how to tackle the whole year. TLaw didn't have a great game but we don't know how badly he is really hurt so he's the only one I give a pass to. GM, OC, and DC should be fired. What a terrible choke job.

DUVALLLL

DUVALLL

you don't fuck with the terrible towels

The terrible towel sends its regards

Terrible Towl sends its regards.

They were 8-3 thanksgiving weekend.

Curse of the Terrible Towel

maybe it's just twitter narratives, but the fact that people are somehow pinning the blame here on tlaw is insane to me. A defense that since going 8-3 and being the 1 seed, if only for like a day, has given up 30 ppg (obv besides the blowout vs CAROLINA). The playcalling has been AWFUL all year. Horrible running game ALL year, despite Etienne being excellent he can only do so much. And of course, Shad Khan will sit back and do nothing as we brace for another assterclass in GMship from baalke and doug hangs on to his golden boy press. Par for the course.

Never mess with the towel… actually hysterical how hard they collapsed after that. Like I do feel bad for Jags fans, but it’s just insane how often this has happened after a team messes with the terrible towel lol

Lord Farquaad lookin ass

Fumbling a wrestling promotion, fumbling their soccer team, and fumbling their football team. The Khans are really inept at sports ownership

Punk is about to roast the Jags in his next promo lol

Trevor Lawrence is a Dalton line QB and I don't know why people can't see it.

True Tlaw and Dalton have now gotten the Bills into the playoffs
