KikO M G Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 I guess we deserve it with a 3-6 record but PIT is even worse! Most other sites are mixed in their picks. Bleacher Report actually has 9 out of 12 picking the Bills. But ESPN has a clean sweep for the Steelers.
PromoTheRobot Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 That's a good thing. We play better disrespected.
LB3 Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 They know nothing other than we must be the same old lowly Bills cus of our record and they are still Pittsburgh despite their record. It makes it all the better when they have to eat crow.
billsrcursed Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 They've been more right than wrong the last 13 years, so what? When are people going to get over what other people think? And btw, that same 13 year span also spoils any ideas that the Bills play better as an underdog.
thebandit27 Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 That's cool...they all picked Baltimore too
Cash Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Sweet, that means we'll probably win. Remember, they were all hired for their ability to spout nonsense into a camera without losing self-respect, not ability to predict football games.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 That's a good thing. We play better disrespected. Actually, we are disrespected every week, and are only 3-6.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 That's a good thing. We play better disrespected. Then we should have had at least 3 Super Bowl wins by now CBF
Captain Hindsight Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Even as a casual observer I would pick the Bills. Just look at rush defense vs rush offense and it would be tough to pick against the Bills
Kirby Jackson Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 We are a 3-6 team going in the road. I am not insulted that people are not picking the Bills. I think that the Bills have a chance this week.
SlamnSam Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 I mean should either of these teams beat beating on their chest, no matter who wins? Both teams are bad.
Buftex Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 I think the Bills can win this game too, but, I am not assuming they will, just because the Bills appear to be on an uspwing, while the Steelers are in a downaward spiral. Steelers fans are beside themselves, saying it's time for LeBeau to go, bye-bye Mike Tomlin, etc etc..you know, sort of the same thing that goes on here. The difference is, the Steelers have a very rich tradition of winning, and are not mired in the cliche, "culture of losing' as we have been. The panic mode in "Steeler nation" is at an all-time high this week...don't be surprised if the Steelers play better than they have, at home, against what is perceived to be a weaker opponent. The vetran core of that team has won a lot of games over the years...we can't assume anything. Actually, we are disrespected every week, and are only 3-6.
KikO M G Posted November 7, 2013 Author Posted November 7, 2013 Wow, thought this was the Bills message board. My bad.
eball Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 @Right Manuel for the Job -- Perhaps you could give even one reason why national NFL reporters should pick a 3-6 Bills team (1-3 on the road) with a rookie QB returning from injury to go to Pittsburgh -- a place they've only ever won once -- and win?
Rhode Island Red Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) FWIW, both Yahoo guys (Frank Schwab / Les Carpenter) picked the Bills this week. Both of them picked us last week as well, albeit before it was revealed that we HAD NO THAD. FWIW, they're both picking the Falcons to beat the Seahawks in Atlanta, too....

Let's see... 1. We are a better team than them and most these players and coaches weren't the ones losing there. 2. They are 31st in the league against the rush and we are 7th in rushing. 3. We have one of the best d lines in football and their o line stinks and can't run or pass block.
Gugny Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Thinking a (3-6) team is going to go into Pittsburgh and steal a win is just silly.

Edit -- don't get me wrong; I certainly see an opportunity for the Bills to go into Pittsburgh and come away with the W, but to criticize a national NFL reporter for picking the Steelers at home is sort of silly.
