He's no doubt gotten some attention for himself and the team. Let's just hope he has a good game against the Vikings.. imagine the press if we roll Favre's Vikings with Stevie catching a couple of TDs.

then decided it was best to drop God from his fantasy team because it's apparent he's too old to play football anymore. Funny, but man... I really don't get all the hoopla over this tweet. I thought no one followed or cared about the Bills? How is it the whole country has seen Stevie's tweet?

Drugs can be a wonderful thing... but then again.. sometimes not.

Always thought provoking comments, well done. Here's a few of my thoughts: Bell - I think he's' really coming along and will be the LT for years to come. For anyone wishing/hoping we draft the best OT, I think it's time to hitch a new wagon (perhaps we draft a RT this year, but I doubt that will be a 1st rounder). Bell can certainly improve areas of his game. And I think that this full year, followed by a full offseason of conditioning and adding weight and he'll do just that. Funny how the urgent need to find a LT is quickly becoming a thing of the past. Fitz - His play has been nothing short of tremendous, especially in helping the Oline look good. But, the one thing that stands out from yesterday was the number of times he sold out to make blocks for extra yardage. On one handoff to Fred, Troy P. was blitzing from the left and would have closed in on Fred from the backside for little to no gain, but Fitz dove forward and held Troy up just enough so that Fred got through the line for a nice gain. On a different play to Fred, Fitz ran well down field in an effort to throw a block. I believe it was on the play Fred fumbled and Evans recovered. I ask, how often do you see any QB so willing to be involved in every play and truly do everything he can to help get positive yards? What Fitz has done and continues to do is prove that he's the leader of this team. We may draft a QB next spring, but I'd be shocked if Fitz isn't our starter for the foreseeable future. People who were holing out judgment until the Steeler game, what do you have to say now about Fitz? Jackson - He's nothing short of our best offensive player again. My primary problem with Chan is that he doesn't use Fred enough. There's no sound reason to only give the guy 1 carry in overtime. Give the ball to Fred, even out the run to pass ratio, and we'll win more games. I'm certain of it. Stevie - He had a bad game. We all know it; he knows it. But, he's still young and learning to deal with the game. The mental part of the game will catch up to the physical part; or at least I like to think it will. In no way am I concerned about him. He just needs to shrug it off, put it behind him, and practice even harder this week. I think the next game will be a good barometer of the type of player he can be. Edwards - I'm not in any way sold on George Edwards yet. The defense still gives up entirely too many plays. They're still out of position and slow to the ball. Maybe it's the players, maybe it's the scheme. But a decent second half doesn't make me forget about the 24 minutes of TOP for the Steelers in the 1st half or the complete inability to stop the run in overtime. Chan had the offense hitting a stride; but the defense still looks dazed and confused for the most part. IMO, we need an upgrade at DC. The Team's attitude - for the first time since perhaps the early '00s the players actually sound pissed off that they're losing. That's a good thing. They played hard; they thought they would win. They didn't. But, rather than give ho hum lip service; they genuinely sound pissed off, frustrated, and depressed about it. Sooner or later I have to believe they're going to start taking those frustrations out on opposing teams. Gailey, if nothing else, seems to be changing the mindset on the team. And, that, was/is the first order of business and perhaps the hardest part of taking over this team. If there's any positive I can pull from yet another miserable loss; it's that the players finally sound pissed off and want to change it.

I think so. I didn't DVR the game, so I can't confirm. But, from what I recall the defense stunted and Levitre missed Harrison, Bell rode his guy out of the play. So, I'd say Levitre missed the block, not Bell. But, I can't recall if there was a RB that could have picked up the outside guy meaning Bell should have stayed on Harrison more. Even still, if that's the only play in question, I'd say it was a good game against a tough team. How long has it been since we could say that neither the Oline nor the QB are the reason we lost the game (and there's no tougher test than facing the Steelers defense)?

Stevie had a rough game, no question. But, he's a Bill and I'm proud to have him on our team. I'll cheer him week in and week out.

Bill, I'll be interested to read your take on Bell's game. But, from my perspective, he had another solid game. The one sack he may have missed an assignment? He took the outside rusher and Harrison(?) stunted inside to get the sack. Again, not sure that's a miss on Bell, but other than that one play he seemed pretty solid. At this point in the season, I'd say the line is steadily improving. I think they still need to work on their communication. But, all in all, they're looking like an improving unit each week.

Maybe I missed the proper thread for this... but congrats on the promotion to Moderator! Just remember with great power comes great perks and people kissin your to keep from being banned for life.

It'll be interesting to see how the team responds to this tough loss next week. Both Fitz and Stevie sounded as depressed and upset, respectively, as I've ever seen in a post game press conference. Maybe I'm just so used to the "we'll look at the tape" answers, but this loss seems to have really hit the players hard. It's nice to think the losses hurt the players as much as it does us fans. I just hope they can use all these close losses to finally turn the corner and win more of these kinds of games. Because it sucks to always be so close... yet so far away.

Easily the most uninspired half of football since week 2. I don't mind being down by 13 so much as I just hate the seemingly slackass play. There's no hustle, no hitting, no emotion, no nothing out there. Just some guys jogging around. You'd like to think that a young team would want to at least attempt to give the Steelers a knock in the jaw. But, we got nothing.

I wouldn't pay a dime for it.

Why are all the defensive backs just standing around when the WR catches the ball? Do they not even try to break the pass up anymore?

This is when Fitz's accuracy kills us. Today's he's got to be perfect because they're getting so few chances with the ball. Thos couple of poorly thrown balls are the difference between keeping the offense on the field and, now Moorman punting.

Little Stevie with 2 drops. He needs to catch those. We absolutely need some offense on this drive.

Kyle Williams for Pro Bowl.

Lost and with lead in their pockets. How can men move so slow and still be considered "playing"?

I figured we'd get beat.. but damn this is bad. Ftiz and company need to go over to the fieldhouse to stay loose. It's looking like they won't see the field again till the 3rd quarter.

3 and out again. At least we finally broke the 2 minute TOP barrier.

I guess 10-0 is better than 14-0

Wow. Now that's a bad stat!

Nice play by Kyle! But what's the time of possession for the 1st quarter - it seems like 14mins for Pitt and a minute or less for the Bills.

how can they let them convert 3rd and 10 on a near sack and dump off. horrible.

I really dislike the empty backfield, all pass offense. Now the defense is right back out there.

Time for Fitz's beard to even the score!

Absolutely no ability to stop someone running the ball. None.
