Breakin it Down: Jags vs. Steelers

Breakin it down is 5 key stories plus a pick for each postseason game this season.

Who Fill Fast Willie's Cleats

Someone needs to step up and carry the Pitt rush offense. Whether it be burly Najeh Davenport or unproven youngsters Carey Davis or Gary Russell, someone needs to step it up and get some yards on the ground to take away some of the burden off of Threee Day Old Cheeseburger's shoulders.

Perhaps You Should Tackle

The last time these two teams lined up, and additionally for much of the final month of the season, the Pittsburgh Steelers failed to do much tackling. Against a team that has two stellar running breaks who can bust anything for a touchdown that's really not going to work out. If the Steelers can't limit Fred Taylor and Jones-Drew 's yards after contact than they should expect to give up ample points.

Revenge Is a Dish Best Served With Ketchup

The Steelers finished the season 7-1 at home with their lone loss coming against the Jaguars of course. Certainly the Steelers will have additional motivation to avenge their single disappointing finish in front of the home towel waivers.

Welcome to Your First Big Game

Hello Mr. Garrard. Congrats on your first full season as a starting quarterback in the NFL. You led your team to a terrific record and you played extremely well in doing so. More importantly you limited your mistakes and allowed your teams biggest assets to control football games. Well David welcome to the biggest game of your life. Let's see how the results will be in this one.

And Here's Your Winnings

Congrats to the winner of the game as most likely they will get the greatest prize of all. The opportunity to face the Juggernaut in New England the following weekend. What says congrats more than facing 'The Best Team Ever' created.

The Pick

I'm going against the grain here but I think the Steelers will back up their homefield this week. I think Trojan Troy back in the fold on the defense will make a huge difference and that Big Ben will put up enough points to hold off the Jags.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
