They actually don’t run the ball all that well. The run it with frequency but not with as much success.
If the weather affects the pass game and Josh, than how do you think Mason Rudolph is going to perform?
“plays like poo?” What are we? Pre-school teachers?Najee’s stats didn’t pick up until they got a qb that can actually throw the ball lol i watched them have runs blown up all year long
he averaged around 50 rushing ypg up until Rudolph took over. The vast majority of those games Warren didn’t do much of anything either

You know, I am going to sound like a sore loser, but this is almost making me not want to watch the game. It's going to complete neuter both sides, but I can already sense a Najee Harris 60 yard run for a TD and that might be all it takes. Cook has been so on and off, and I worry about him fumbling, and I worry about Josh getting desperate and going into hero ball mode. Field goals are out of the question. This sucks. I know we have no control over it, and for that reason I should not let it bother me, but I could see The Steelers sneaking out a victory because it's equalizing both teams, and somehow I feel it will work to their advantage.
That really depends on what the weather ends up being. A foot of snow could equalize both sides …moderate wind does not equalize both sides though and idk where people are getting this idea that it does
we don’t even attempt long field goals anymore, Najee Harris has as many lost fumbles as cook does and is even more off and on, the entire pit offense has been jump started by mason Rudolph deep balls when we haven’t been hitting deep shots as consistently. Our qb can run like a fullback and has the stronger arm. Assuming it’s just 20-30 mph wind with some light snow I think the weather tilts the game in our direction even more. If it’s hurricane winds or snow like that colts game a couple years back then we can talk about ‘equalizers’. Sounds like the forecasts are all over the place though.
Steelers ain’t a team that can run it every down and have success…they were getting stymied on offense until Rudolph could lighten the boxes by hitting some downfield throws. If the weather prevents them from doing so I don’t think they’re getting in the end zone

The NE game has scarred people too much I’m afraid lol. It’s a shame too because it was an absolute fluke that they won that one especially in that weather and belichick knew it and celebrated like he won the Super Bowl afterwards 🤣

With bad weather neutralizing our passing advantage I am very concerned. I seen this before with Patriots game and that didn't go well.
Pats game was windier than this one is gonna be…also I really think that was a fluky loss weather or not personally. We were moving the ball fine through the air and waited too long to commit to throwing imo. Josh threw a deep ball that doinked off diggs’ head also lol
Mac could not throw at all which made the pats super one dimensional…they crossed midfield like two times
if the Steelers were some ground and pound juggernaut with a beast of an oline maybe I’d feel uneasy and this seems to be the way they’re being talked about around here for some reason.. they really aren’t that though.. their offense was anemic until Rudolph got a shot and started hitting some deep passes downfield

In Orchard Park? What site?
Accuweather says lake effect snow,weather.com says a small 1-2 inch type snowstorm, weather.gov says snow showers which id assume is even less than that
if there was that serious of a chance for a lake effect snowstorm I think there’d be murmurs about moving the game imo

Patriots job is the least attractive job outside of the Panthers.
Damn, with Harbaugh flirting with the NFL again I wonder where all these coaches end up.
That defense seems like it could be crazy good if a little healthier but I think a lot of that is belichick. He ran that offense straight into the ground though lol

That must have been a really interesting several seconds in your house.
I get the cbs notifications for tds and such so after 30 seconds of waiting I figured they didn’t score when I didn’t get one lol

I was fine with the decision by Josh. In retrospect of course, it cost the Bills a field goal, and I get the argument that therefore the throw needs to go into the end zone. But in the moment, that was a play that looked like a touchdown. A throw to a running back on the two, on the run, is almost always a TD. You have to trust your teammates to make plays. Josh made that decision. The Dolphins just made a better play.
My stream froze right when Josh released the ball so I had a lot of time to look at it and I was pretty sure it was gonna be a td 😂

I understand why McDermott was mad, however, I like the throw, I think 8 out of 10 times he scores. Baker made a good play, I know people want a penalty but that was a great old school football play to keep the guy out of the endzone. If Josh took a sack or threw to a guy at the 5 yard line I would have a bigger issue with it. There was enough there to take the chance IMO.
THis play was really interesting on hard knocks, one of the DB's said on mic...."if he throws it to a slant Im gonna let him catch it". So the Dolphins were ready for this and it worked out good for them.
If that play was any time but the final play of a half, that helmet to helmet hit gets called 100%

I had no issues with the throw. He got tackled at the 1. It was a good effort all around.

Michael Irvin and Richard Sherman on their show with Skip think the Bills are a flimsy #2 seed and Pittsburgh will be super physical and punch us in the mouth. I guess that means the Bills D and Oline won't be physical and will get pushed around all game. Okay.
Pits oline is pretty bad…these are weird takes. It’s like they’re hung up on what these franchises are usually known for over how they’ve been playing this year. The bills have been much better in the trenches in both sides of the ball compared to years past
their dline is pretty bad too without watt

But he puts people in motion
Wonder if all the media who've been bowing to the quirky greasy innovative genius are going to start to change their takes
He’s good at somewhat obscuring the like three different route combinations they run all game long lol. There’s really no reason not to play them single high and cheat inside, drop 7 defenders because tua only gets more uncomfortable the more time he gets and won’t even attempt to throw it outside the numbers unless it’s a deep go
I think the bills and ravens gave the league the blueprint and McDaniel knows it.
I see a lot of injury excuses being made but their offense wasn’t outlandishly injured for week 18 of an nfl season and we were down to a third string LB and lost our best corner in the game so their offense vs our defense evened out injury wise. Not to mention our previously best edge rusher that we’re paying a bajillion dollars may as well be injured still 😂

I don't think this is the case. It's really difficult to hate or dislike McD the person. I won't go into detail but it's pretty clear he's a man of religion and character. Sure seems to be a compassionate man.
I think the McD dissenters comes from his playoff blunders, Xs and Os mistakes, and not getting the team to the SB.
Both are vastly different criteria. No Bills fan in there right mind would advocate for a loss on Sunday for the reason of disliking McD.
I think your post is really disturbing. Slinging mud to sling it has no place here.
Go Bills!!!
I’m always a bit perplexed by the ‘not getting a team to the Super Bowl in 6 years requires firing’ point…look at John harbaugh. The guy has won one in 16 years
Look at Mike Tomlin…hasn’t sniffed the Super Bowl in 14 years and won one in 17 total years
Kyle shanahan has been to one superbowl in 6 years and also had an epic collapse as OC of the falcons
McCarthy hasn’t been to one in the last 12 years and has 1 in 25 years coaching
Reid has won 2 in 24 years(unless offensive assistant counts)
that’s the longer tenured guys in the playoff field and they’ve won 5 superbowls in like 90 years coaching 😂. That’s an average of 1 win every 18 years or so

The swearing seems unnatural and excessive. Just like the Jets D coordinator, MM should tone it down.You hit the nail on the head. He is trying too hard to be cool. It is almost like a fan won a contest and got the HC job. MM is trying to impress the players with his tough talk, cheering in practice and be their buddy.
Like I said in another thread about HK, I do think it has to be hard to come up with stuff to say to professional football players, especially veterans, week in and week out to get them motivated. I don’t envy coaches unless they get fired and receive a huge buy-out. 😀
I wonder if MM would make a really good OC. He can be the good cop and focus on game planning. Let the HC be the bad cop.
Startin to think he’s overrated even as an OC…or it could be tua holding the offense back too or a little bit of both. They run the same couple route combos all game long and it ain’t fooling the better teams at all. They average like 15ppg against playoff teams

God, I am so tired of the weather taking a.... every time we have a crucial game. I know it's out of our control, but it's frustrating. I feel like Pittsburgh's run game is a little stronger?
Pitt couldn’t do anything running the ball until their passing game opened up

I feel this way about the TD vs turnover debate. Every TD counts for 6 points. Not every turnover provides the opposition with 6 points. TDs are a much more important stat than turnovers.
I can’t remember any josh turnovers on our side of the field at all lol. It’s honestly pretty wild. A lot of guys with less turnovers have put their team in much worse shape than Josh has

Should’ve won but blew it? They got outgained by 200 yards and got like 2 first downs in the second half. They were fortunate to not lose by 30+ again
we lost a bunch of important players in this one …they had Spector and Dane Jackson to pick on and got two first downs all second half. Two?!
I’ll give them some benefit of the doubt for their defensive injuries but even at full strength they are objectively a tier or two below the bills
edit: wow I don’t even think it was 2 haha I think it was 1 😂

We need to somehow avoid the Browns. They would flatten us.
If we make it, I think we would beat SF. I would like to see Detroit but it probably won’t happen.
Browns are the most overrated team I can remember in recent playoff history lol. Defense has been great but the Flacco story is so feel-good that nobody is really looking into what he’s been doin too closely. Obviously it’s not a cakewalk straight up but as far as who you’ll run into in the second/third round of the playoffs that’s about as easy as it’s gonna get. That chiefs defense is not terribly far behind Cleveland’s and their offense has a lot more upside. Baltimore is right there in defense and their offense is much better as well
I think we’d be a 7 point favorite against Cleveland-

I think he’s safe regardless but if we get absolutely blown out you never know…first round exit or worse this year and next year id expect him gone though

First: he digged the hole he is now getting credit for getting out of.
Second, we squeaked out wins against undermanned teams over the past 5 games. Let's not get ahead of ourselves and see what happens in the playoffs, when most McD issues arise.
This is a very half empty vs half full situation that I can’t blame anyone for feeling either way on. I can’t personally blame him for squeaking by undermanned teams when we lost quite a few close games as a very undermanned team ourselves but to each their own.
to me everything evened out over the course of the season, we had big late calls bail us out and screw us in other games, we had a ton of injuries and played some injured teams, and we exactly met expectations. All things considered I’d take blowing some easy games and playing great against good teams over the alternative

At the end of the day, a lot of the INT's don't really matter. I mean is an INT on 4th down where the other team gets the ball at their own 5 yard line really worse than a punt? I think the way people view football scenarios is very flawed in terms of the importance of turnovers. Is a team that punts 8 times and has no turnovers in a game more likely to win than the Bills who turn the ball over 3 times? I would say most likely no.
Its been better than a punt more often than not this year lol

What’s the story with td/int ratio around the league this year? More dbs holding and it not getting called? It felt like last year everyone was way higher it’s not just a josh thing
not only are ints up it feels like passing tds are way down

Lol, I saw that. It’s perfect. You were able to be pleasantly surprised. The Bills drafted a talented pass catching TE and he’s actually good. If they would have realized that before like week 8, they’d be even better off.
He would’ve had a big year anyway if he didn’t hurt his thumb…looked like he had trouble catching for a few weeks after the thumb injury. Still a great rookie season nonetheless

I posted this wondering if we could glean anything from the preseason loss against the Steelers. Two pages in and not one point or reference to that game has been mentioned. 😂
In the past, I would worry that the Steelers could "out physical" Buffalo. But in this case I don't think that's going to happen. Buffalo is physical enough to hang with Pittsburgh and Tomlin's old school style.
I know Tomlin talks up the offensive and defensive lines. The Bills need to be prepared to compete at the line of scrimmage, much like that they did against Miami and Dallas.
If the weather is windy and cold, that will limit the downfield passing game, and limit the amount of time Josh can operate out of the shotgun. In the preseason, I think Josh took every snap out of shotgun and I am not sure that Dorsey ran the ball at all.
I guess it's going to be a super physical game.
Unless the game plan is for Josh to use his arm to cut through the wind (?), which I think would be the wrong approach.
Felt like mostly offensive line/wrs blocking related penalties that derailed us on offense in the preseason game. My only memory of that game was us having like a 3rd and 30 lol I think no watt and a whole season of the offensive line getting snaps will clean that up
I remember being more worried about the defense after that one though…Steelers marched right down and scored back to back drives

VERY concerned about that forecast. Would absolutely be a possible equalizer and favor PERFECTLY the style and strengths of their team.
They couldn’t run the ball at all until the passing game picked up…don’t think they’re really suited to be a one dimensional smashmouth team

Bills Offense vs Pittsburgh
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
This continues to confuse me…I would let the game play out before making the claim it is not to the bills advantage. The only evidence that it’s not to the bills advantage is that y’all are nervous about the game lol
look at the NE game…they broke one big run which ended up being the difference but only crossed midfield like one other time and couldn’t even attempt a pass. We were much weaker in the trenches back then also so that game isn’t even relevant really. On offense in that one I would argue we waited too long to try to throw…Josh was hitting throws into the wind in the 4th quarter pretty easily. Absolute fluky loss from a few years ago has everyone spooked still it seems. We play that game in those exact conditions 10 times I think we win 8
