agreed. the Jags are just so solid, nothing flashy, but just so tough.
I agree too. Not just Parker will be missing, but so will 2 of their top 3 OTs since Marvel Smith and Max Starks have both been put on IR in the last 3 weeks, not to mention the DE Smith. The injury bug hit the Steelers this year at the most inopportune time, and in probably the 3 most critical positions for them. The OTs and RB Parker will now render their running attack impotent, and DE Smith was their best DL and pass rusher. A killer set of circumstances, and I feel for Steeler fans. I know injuries are part of the game, but as a fan, I always like to watch my team beat another, and know they beat the best. On the other hand, sometimes teams hit like this rally around each other and play way better than anyone expects, and you never know, someone may get an opportunity, and ride it all the way to the HOF. Good luck, Steeler fans...of course, if you play the Chargers, I hope your luck runs out;)
