They definitely were looking past the Jags and assuming they were going to roll over them. So pathetic

I know the Steeler have only had 3 coaches in the last 100yrs but at some point Tomlin has to be held accountable.

Pretty amazing that the NFC championship will feature two backup QBs.

The blown tackle by the saints at the end still has me in the "WTF just happened" moment... If he would have just waited for him to catch it and tackle in bounds, the game is over. No timeouts, linemen running 50 yds to reset and spike in 4-5 seconds. GAME OVER... No, lets try to lay a big hit and WIFFFFFFFFFFFFF beyond words to lose the game. Now I have to listen to all the band wagon Viqueens fans blab still. I keep telling them to not get comfy, they still have 1 game and Brady to beat. I think that will be the only time I root for the Cheaters!

I don't blame Tomlin, I blame Todd Haley, the dude is a jackass and calls ridiculous plays at 4th and inches to try and prove how smart he is, yet they never work. He's a disgrace

If you took your rosey colored glasses off, you would have seen plenty of missed calls on the Jags, like holding and choke slamming line backers every time they got close to Bortles, yet not 1 holding flag. The refs were almost as bad as the NE game, but no one could be that bad

- If you are catching a pass in the end-zone (or in the field of play), then both feet must come down in-bounds.
- If you are crossing the line into the end-zone, then as long as no part of the player's body or football touches the ground out of bounds first, then one foot on (or inside) the goal-line constitutes a touchdown (assuming the ball crosses the plane of the goal-line).

It's the difference of being a runner not a catcher

If the ball's outside the pylon, it's not a TD because the ball never broke the plane

Not true. If an established ball carrier crosses the plain and steps on or inside the goal-line, even if he has very long arms and the football is a yard out of bounds, it counts as a touchdown. Errr, except if your a Steelers fan.

To simplify, either the ball or the body has to get inside or over the pylon into the end zone.

Bunch of Steelers fans calling for Haley's head but they should look at their D coordinator too. Made Blake Bortles look good.
Losing Shazier definitely hurt a lot but their defense has been suspect even before that

Safety Car
I looked up the NFL official rulebook and it actually describes this exact scenario:
A.R. 11.2
Second-and-10 on B18. Runner A1 takes handoff and runs down the sideline toward the goal line with the ball in his outside arm. He crosses the goal line plane standing with the ball to the outside of the pylon.
Ruling: Touchdown. Part of the ball crossing over or inside the pylon only applies to an airborne runner who lands out of bounds.

Agreed, the defense really struggled, however Haley's play calling is maddening.

When a team is allowed to score 40 points, yeah, the defense needs to be held accountable.
Well, whatever...at least these teams, losers too, GOT to play in the playoffs. Bears have no idea what that word means.

Not trying to be a debbie downer but how is that catch/play that much different from what happened in the Ravens/Broncos game in 2012

I myself would drag my nuts across a field of of hot New England Clam chowder than watch the Eagles drop a banner next year saying "Super Bowl Champions." Truthfully, I would kill you if it meant I could stop the Eagles from even playing in the Super Bowl and I like you.
Fuck the Eagles. Fuck Philadelphia. I hope that entire city burns to the ground by the crotch of Carson Wentz's firey pubes. That ginger fuck is so fucking good I hate him and the entire state of Dakota because of him. I dont even know which Dakota he is from but fuck them both.
And dont get me started on that visor wearing fuck Doug Pedo-son. His hair looks like I'd need a wedge just to get my ball out of there. That loser POS. Bring back Fat Andy, at least with him, there was always the chance he'd die during the fucking game. We haven't beaten the Eagles in like 4 fucking years. Fuck you for asking this question. But fuck Philly more.
Go Pats.

I'm hoping for a Jags/Vikings Superbowl
Would be the first time ever the host city plays in the Superbowl at home

If my team is out, I generally like to see teams advance who haven't been there in a long time (or ever). And I guess in the Eagles/Vikings case, I like the story-line of the Vikings playing at home.
