Did you miss the part where the Jags gave up 42 points;)
I know there was a wink in there but the Pittsburgh offense and their strengths are very different from the Pats. Roethlisberger is surprisingly elusive and an absolute house to take down, the pressure up the middle isn't quite as big a deal against him. Bell bounces outside, he always requires defenses to stay honest. With Brady he generally likes sliding in the pocket, that middle pressure is when he starts getting happy feet/seeing ghosts. I think Lewis and White have been great in giving him outlets and as strange as it is talking about a 40 year old quarterback I think he's more elusive than he had been in 5 or even 10 years ago.
But I still worry, and really the biggest concern is Brady taking that one shot he can't take, then it's season over regardless...much higher chance of that against the Jags than the Steelers imo.
We'll see, but I'm not confident at all going into this game.
