Steelers at Jaguars Open Game Thread

The Steelers managed to take the cake on embarrassing losses this weekend in the NFL. Between Pitt, PSU, Steelers, and even the Eagles....the state went 0 for the weekend. Another contribution on an embarrassing level.
Coming off a 42 point loss to Atlanta, Tampa managed to hang with Pittsburgh on the road. The pathetic 41 yard catch and run by Louis Murphy with under a minute was just terrible as he went right down the throat of the Steelers defense.
Roethlisberger put up good numbers. Brown and Miller had some excellent games on offense also, Bell churned out 100+ yards of total offense too. It was clear the defense missed the starters they lost, and it's clear they have bad corners and an average pass rush. Pittsburgh had 0 business losing to Tampa. The biggest thing I think, this team has no discipline. I know they are pro's and they should be able to handle themselves, but far too many unnecessary penalties for celebrating and taunting ect.
They should go into Jacksonville with a regained focus and should win by multiple touchdowns, but after this week, it's hard to say. I bet half the stadium will be black and gold, the team seems to thrive on the road when Steelers Nation shows up like that. Kind of a weird factor, but they seem like they play well when they take over a stadium like that.
