That’s also colloquially known as lazy reporting, and regurgitating an easy narrative bereft of even a Wikipedia search which would undercut said narrative. Good follow up gumshoe work on your part however, Donuts. Kudos!

Donuts, these are some heady days/rarified air we get to partake of, and at long last the national narrative can catch up to the reality on the ground that we’ve been so emotionally invested in since this past offseason—I will be dragging an old topic out of the archives when our season at last draws to a close, discussing what our expectations were coming into this season—FWIW, I pegged a 10-6 mark with a WC exit—and I am happy to report that I fully expect this team to blow past these marks. What’s funny though is how many folks here stated that 9-7 or even 8-8 would be enough of a “success” over last year provided we saw good improvements/development of our franchise QB. What a difference a year makes—from a balsa wood laughingstock to Teddy Roosevelt’s big stick!

Wait—suspended, but not banned? So you’re saying there’s a chance! Git r done Beanie! (I kid, I kid)

It’s a love/hate thing with him—I really like his play designs at times, but then other times I want to toss the TV out the door after a frustratingly predictable series...so in sum the jury is still out and we have won 10 games so this is a first world problem for us right now

I was SMH at the 2nd to last possession which almost cost us dearly in failing to even attempt to gain a needed first down—I felt like Dabs misread the clock time remaining or something—but hey, he gets paid the big bucks by Terry, not me.

Testament to solid coaching during the week to get ready for this one—that’s attention to detail right there.

And, LAMP, I was lucky enough to get BB’s autograph back in training camp in Spartanburg ; very nice man and clearly competent in the FO—great hire Mr. Pegula!!

Kudos on excellent comedic timing!!

Calling it now: The Beas will be prime and center featured in the game plan against NE on Saturday.

Do you hear footsteps yet Tommy Boy?

Then well-played

Nice—you failed to account for his TD’s and the stats of the other guy for comparison/context...but whatevs

No, id be shocked if worst O wouldn’t be the Bengals who played the Pats today coincidentally

That was not an awful team. They have a top 5 D and the duck was 3-0 coming into this game—the fact is we are good enough to absorb a couple boneheaded mistakes here and there and still grind one out—in the words of an old O-line coach I had in DIII football, I’ll take that!

I still can’t believe the play calling when we still needed a 1st down on 2nd to last possession, but our D is lights out what can you say about them

I’m such a maelstrom of emotions right now, disbelief, joy, and relief all in one—and we just can’t have anything and I mean anything, easy this year, but here we are!!!!!!! 10 wins baby and playoffs!!!!!!!!

This game is going to give me a heart attack. That is all. LET’S GO!!!!!!!!

Our D has to be so disheartened

What kind of play calling is this crap right in the teeth of the Steeler D???

Chris doesn’t know squat about the Bills

Tool Collinsworth—accuracy is his issue, lol re Allen. Meanwhile who just got picked off???

Yes please!

This was definitely more needed than whatever you're supposed to be doing at work on a Saturday ; great analysis points OP! The upshot is if we bring our A game I don't think they will be able to survive what we throw at them on either side of the ball. I didn't realize that in addition to being opportunistic, they've turned the ball over themselves 20 straight games--we need to keep that streak alive, as takeaways are a category we could use some improvement on as well.

Wonder how the 90’s teams drop rates fared in the Rich Stadium winds during the playoffs etc. for comparison?

Sad but true—we’ve been left at the altar too many times to count, but the flicker of hope with this team still burns brightly, and if we pull off the W Sunday night, you’d best believe I’m looking for more than a WC one and done sort of road!
