Agreed, the key is the Bills offense vs the Pitt defense. I think Buffalo D will limit the Pitt O. Special teams is also a big factor. The Steelers have a number of scores on D and teams, can't let that happen. The Steelers lead in sacks and turnovers which seems like a good matchup against Allen who struggles against pressure, he needs to play well and limit mistakes in this game.

Oh god.

We need to address OT and WR over TE, that is my opinion. Sure another talent at TE would also be great but at this point we have to assume Knox will improve and he has been decent but inconsistent, that can change.

I heard they deflated the balls too

It makes perfect sense to me, is this Dan Fouts? LOL In both cases you need an XP and 2 point conversion, the order matters, 2pt first is the only correct answer. The mos efficient way to get back in the game down by 15 is two TD's. In order to tie down by 15 you need two TD;s, one with a 2 point and one with an extra point. If you wait til the second TD to go for 2 and it is at the very end you have very little you can do if you don't get it. On the flip side, if you go for it on a TD with 6 minutes left and you get it you know you need a TD/XP to tie. But if you don't get the two point conversion then you know you need two more scores, which affects how you call the final minutes of the game. You must attempt a 2pointer and the earlier you do it the better because it gives you information on what is needed the rest of the way. Time with information is better than no time with information.

The officials are professionals, it is a part time job which is why they are part time. And it is clear you have no idea what they do do as prep and training. The refs have an impossible job, no human can see all these details in real time. They keep adding rules that makes the job more complicated. Still it is an execution by a human in real time issue, no one is really capable of seeing all this stuff. Officials have always missed things, but today we have HD slow mo, instant twitter gifs to comment on in real time. More technology is the only answer otherwise its imperfect, accept it. Studying 40 hours a week in the offseason will change nothin.g

The Bills final drive was brought to you by the letter P....penalties. 2 15 yarders and a questionable PI.

If Josh had Lamar's stats yesterday in a 24-17 win vs the Ravens, there might be calls for him to be considered MVP from Bills fans.

Yes the Bills could have kept McCoy, no one argues against that. However, it is the job of the GM and staff to evaluate the value based on what the player brings to the table. The 6.5 million is better spent this offseason or possibly extending a current play and it will get used. Whatever happens with this team this year, the decision to move on from McCoy does not move the needle much one way or the other. What does move the needle is finding a way to beat cover 0, pass protecting better and hitting some deep balls.

And if they don’t then they are not playoff caliber

I get the disdain for the patriots but an an nfl fan I want them to get the calls right. Having said that they also can’t give unlimited challenges and slow the game down. but I think the system could be improved

He has been in the 53 for quite a while. He has been scratched for a while. the problem today was protection number one and Allen’s accuracy/heaters number 2. Allen was likely reacting to the poor pass pro.

That was bush league

Fans of all teams are certain the refs are out to get them and favor the other team. This is simply explained because most fans are biased.

Reliable hands is what the tape on Beasley said also. It’s not him it’s the fast balls

He has 6 career catches in the nfl. Beasley catches everything too.....not

I think he will. I am optimistic. But I also think some “drops” are not all on the wr like people are saying. And drops happen for all teams.

Tall guys won’t catch the fast balls either

They always miss everything against the opponents and call everything against the bills?

Lamar was a first time starter trying to make his way, there was no purposeful shift away from John Brown.

Does someone actually think he belongs on this list?

Living in New Hampshire (Patriots land) when I mention I am from Buffalo the reaction is kind of annoying. "Oh my God you guys get all that snow UP there"....no genius we get a similar amount of snow as you do and its OVER there not up there. The main difference is the wind though and that is a big difference, 20 degrees is not hard to deal with but 20 and windy sucks. I think if you ask the average Fan where Buffalo is on the map they will point to the nothern most point on NY state, its like its in Siberia or something. Exactly!

The message cant be misunderstood. He will either snap out of the funk or not be on the team that much longer

I like the mayhem guy!

Cool stat but one we should hope does not continue a lot in the future. My read on that is injury waiting to happen and we do t need him injured. I would rather him lead in yards per attempt.
