Kelly the Dog Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 I know it doesn't matter, and I know that it would be nice if their game in Buffalo doesn't mean anything to them so they can rest their starters, I just think they play Baltimore harder next week if they come off a bad performance today, and Cowher gets them ready and THAT is the game we need.

BillsGuyInMalta Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 The Steelers better have that special teams problem fixed when they play us, or we'll return a couple kicks for HUGE gains against that crappy coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Darin Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 If we can't beat a rookie QB at home in December we don't belong in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted December 18, 2004 Author Share Posted December 18, 2004 If we can't beat a rookie QB at home in December we don't belong in the playoffs. 165453[/snapback] Agreed. Or at the very least we're not going very far in them anyway if we cannot beat the Steelers at home in January in that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No coach is going to have his starters sit for 2 weeks without playing any meaningful football. If the Steelers have a 1st round bye their starters will play the entire game unless it gets out of hand one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDH Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 If we can't beat a rookie QB at home in December we don't belong in the playoffs. 165453[/snapback] If we can't beat one of the best teams (if not the best team) in the league we don't deserve to be in the playoffs? Unfortunately it's not just a rookie QB lined up for the Steelers, it's also the best D in the league, the best Oline in the league, the best running game in the league and one of the best WR duos in the league. The bottom line is if we don't beat them we won't be in the playoffs, but not because we "don't belong"...the Bills are playing better ball than any team fighting for a wildcard right now...the reason we won't be in the playoffs is because Nate Clements can't knock down a hail mary throw on 4th and 20+ yards or because whoever is in charge of telling Mularky to challange a play didn't tell him to do so on the Henry fumble in Oakland.
