Agreed! Thanks, Jags. I have already donated $17 to Urban Meyer’s legal defense team.

yeah, that is probably the scenario. That said, Pittsburgh is playing with house money. No expectations. Big Ben’s last dance. It wouldn’t surprise me if he mustered up some of the old magic and the defense kept them in this game. KC just absolutely smoked Pitt a few weeks ago. As weird as it sounds, I don’t think there is a chance they could repeat that.

A few random observations about the game: 1) I thought it was interesting how the Bills lined Ed Oliver up at times at DE. He got one of his sacks from the DE position. 2) Zach Wilson was bad. But I have to think that the NYJ bad playcalling, Wilson without his main receivers and starting olineMen, and the wind were major factors. He can’t be as bad as he looked today. 3) I think the wind impacted our offense a lot. That said, the jets sort of also made some solid defensive plays (albeit barely). They stopped the Bills a lot by like a yard or two on 3rd downs. The way Haack was punting, I think the Bills were probably better off going for it. But those stops right at the sticks a bunch really kept the jets in the game.

i think the execution errors were probably related to the weather, at least in part. The drops and overthrows certainly were connected. The wind makes it really hard to catch balls, especially when your QB has to zip them in harder. The wrong routes though— would love to hear an explanation on that.

Whatever it is, It’s usually played at the Akron Zips stadium.

The wind also causes issues for receivers. Just lots of drops and balls that seem hard to adjust to. If we played today in perfect weather conditions, we would have won by 30 points.

What happened with Andre Roberts? I missed it and they keep showing his face, so I assume something bad. Fumble?

it seemed like it worked the first time he did it. He hit that low liner the first time that cut through the wind and ended up rolling about 40 yards.

hey, that’s why I started my color commentator thread earlier this week. This game proved my point. Such empty commentary.

Can someone explain to me Zach Wilson? I actually thought coming into this game that he was a lot better and much more elusive too. That was probably the worst performance by a QB against us this year.

I like the ref just yelling at him instead of throwing the flag.

Ref really gave AJ a break with no taunting penalty.

Loved that play call.

the wind I think makes it harder on the receivers than the QB.

Agreed. Plus, Gabe and Cole both look gimpy.

Big shocker that the offense looks better going with a 30 MPH wind.

Every time they show Saleh, he is swearing. Usually for no reason too!

We will now see if the wind really is as much of a factor, because we will now have it at our backs this quarter.

nah— it’s real football out there!

The penalties and bad runs are drive killers.

Expected. This is what I said coming into the week. High wind games = miscues will determine if we win or lose the game.

Interesting that Oliver was lined up at DE on that play.

Why isn’t McK out there at all? No jet sweeps, nothing.

Just mass confusion today.

people call me a real downer about the weather, but this is what a bad weather game looks like. Not going to be pretty and will come down to mistakes rather than positive plays.
