Hopefully, I don’t know if Nagy has enough brains to make the change. Who drafts a QB in the first and goes with Andy Dalton as starter in the first place ?

We really need Justin Fields in the game full time to add some intrigue to this matchup.

It is an amazing stadium, but it comes across disingenuous, and seems more like an NFL encouraged sales pitch.

I’d be alright if they were awesome and put on a cool show, instead it looks like suburban dads pounding on garbage cans.

I agree, hated the flea flicker and half passes, but are we truly capable of being physical ? I used to be a Daboll critic, but is he just playing to our strengths ? I don’t know if I have any evidence this team is capable of what you said in the bolded text. It’s difficult to know if that’s a function of coaching not allowing that to happen, or players being incapable of that style play. I tend to believe we aren’t a very physical team.

Yes, this could be such a blessing in disguise. Any extra negativity I might have doesn’t come from a place of this game signaling doom, it just comes from having Steelers fans in my family 😂

It’s a huge one for me because I know too many Steelers fans. I just don’t want to hear from them. We can have a great season, but this one is a disappointment.

I’m not going to blame the entire loss on Haack and special teams, but people are underestimating how huge that play was. Teams don’t win games when blocked punts are returned for TD’s. That needs to be fixed.

You’re not wrong, his numbers were solid. I just didn’t see anything special from Big Ben compared to all the other great QB’s in the game today. The Steelers aren’t an offense that scares anyone, and he threw for under 200 yards today. We win today if we didn’t get dominated by the Steelers defense. Other teams aren’t getting that dominated by the Steelers, I guarantee. I’m excited to see what this Steelers team is all about. It’s a long season, we could take the Lombardi home for all I know. I just think we played very poorly today, and I’m not ready to credit that all to the Steelers.

They will get smacked around in the AFC North. This Bills team is finesse, and does tend to get bullied. That’s been an issue for several years.

I just don’t see it, Big Ben isn’t good enough to QB a championship anymore. Maybe they have a great defense, but people are going to find ways to outscore the Steelers. Teams that can run the ball, and play hard nosed defense will be able to beat the Steelers. They might be a playoff team, but they aren’t top notch imo. We’re supposed to be top notch. We have the rest of the season to show that, and if we want to win the Lombardi, we’ll need to beat teams who are much better than the Steelers.

I haven’t seen it discussed much, but our receivers didn’t do a great job getting open today either. I’d have watch again to confirm, but I saw some issues with that.

I don’t want to say the sky is falling at all, so I say this hesitantly. I don’t want to hear about how great the Steelers are as an excuse. I didn’t realize the Stillers were considered contenders first of all, and secondly, we are Super Bowl contenders, you shouldn’t be getting bullied by Pittsburgh at home on opening day. Today’s game had the same complexion as the two Chiefs losses last season, that is at least slightly concerning.

His AFC championship game was a disaster, and I’ll never understand why so many don’t want to recognize how often he gets dominated.

You’re correct, and I don’t want to chicken little, but it’s more about the Steelers dominating the second half. The Steelers aren’t that type of good, and I wouldn’t consider them a legitimate contender. The season just begun, and all of our goals are still in sight, but this was the Bills team we saw against the Chiefs and Titans last season. This loss has as much to do with things we need to fix, as it does the greatness of the Steelers imo.

Running sounds great, I used to love Singletary, but I’m no longer convinced we have the guys. Running is worthless if you don’t have a decent back, or a line that can run block. KC has a guy like Edwards Helaire, that’s a huge difference.

There should be a release Haack thread though. I think that’s very reasonable considering his craptastic kicking in Miami.

We already know the defense has soft spots, but we live and die with our offense. Elite offensive teams all have better O line play. People are so enamored with the personalities of our O line guys, they won’t admit how average they are.

Same thing everyone saw in Miami, except Beane.

Our team has stunk today. It’s a long season, and can still be championship caliber. I’m not ready to crown the Steelers because of this, we stunk, no excuses. Also, let’s get a new punter, what did they see in Haack ?

I’d like to see a better first half offensively, but I like seeing how they work through adversity when it’s not all clicking. There will be games like this, and scoring before the end of the half is the type of stuff that separates the winners and losers.

Guys just look rusty, this isn’t all the Steelers vaunted defense.

Flea flicker call on third and one, you better go for it on forth down.

You’ve clearly never worked in the WNY service/tourism industry 😂

Nah, he just aged like a normal QB.
