Rob's House Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 I'm picking the Steelers because even though they're one of the worst teams in the league & have only won 1 game all year, they used to be good & that still counts for something.
Dr. K Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 If people think this is going to be an easy game they are way mistaken......we will still be going into someone elses house after their defense got embarrised with a starting rookie QB Â This is not a gimmie...the bills are going to have to show up and take it. Â This. Whenever I hear people saying the Bills are going to win six straight, I think, "How about them winning one straight?"

Â I haven't predicted a Bills game all year. But I'm predicting that the Bills will beat the Steelers and it won't be close. I'm going "all in", whatever that means...LOL Â I don't care what their record says, I don't care about past nightmare road Steeler games, I don't care about having a rookie QB, the Bills are a good young team on the rise and they're the only team playing in this game who are still in contention. The Steelers are old and tired looking. Having said that, the biggest factor to me is the emotional one, I think that the Bills will be letting this season's frustration out on the Steelers this Sunday. They're good, they know it, and this Sunday they will to show it. Edited November 7, 2013 by 1billsfan

K D Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Not only are they picking Pitt but on PTI yesterday Wilbon said that both the Bucs and Jags were going to beat us! Lol this is the kind of respect we get from people around the country that don't watch our games but just look out our record.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) and this surprises you because? Â When the Bills win more than 3 in a row then they might get some respect. until then ...... don't hold your breath Edited November 7, 2013 by BillsFan-4-Ever
ColdBlueNorth Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Pittsburgh is a veteran team with an established QB that has had a history of pulling out wins when needed although they have struggled this year. We are a young team that has more of a history of finding ways to lose. Â This year's record aside, it is going to take a season or two of sustained quality play and wins to change that perception. Â My personal take is that Mario Williams is one of the few defensive ends in the league who has both the size, strength, and athleticism to really disrupt the way Roethlisberger plays. Big Ben tends to roll to his right to extend plays, although he is pretty shifty around the pocket for a guy his size. I would expect that the Bills would try to flush him out to Williams side of the field more often than not. Â Roethlisberger gets away with the way he plays for a couple reasons, for a guy who doesn't have the largest hands one would think he would fumble more, but his height and strength negate much of that issue he also usually wears a glove, he can extend plays to the last possible moment because his release is one of the quickest and strongest I have seen - with a flick he can rope the ball down the field. Mario has the length and strength to chop the rock lose or at least mess up his throwing motion. Â I think we can get turnovers in this game, and if our boys turn those into points we will win.
The Helmet of Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) That's a good thing. We play better disrespected. Â Is it really disrespect? Buffalo is 1-7 all time playing @ Pittsburgh. And before you say the past doesn't matter, how many owners have the Steelers had? how many coaches have the Steelers had in their history? how many owners have the Bills had? These things establish patterns over the course of decades, it seems. Â My picks record this year is 94-39 (straight up, not against the spread) and I'm picking the Steelers this week; if the game were in Buffalo, I'd pick the Bills. I hope I'm wrong, because I love the Bills, think they're trending up. But history suggest it's really hard for the Bills to win at PIttsburgh.. Â Fans getting emotional over experts picking Bills' opponents are silly. We dominated the Chiefs last week, at home, and still managed to lose. It's really hard to win at Pittsburgh. Â Picking sports games is more scientific than people realize. You don't pick the winner based off emotions. Edited November 7, 2013 by MarkKelso'sHelmet

Â they have won two games. they are 2-6. That's one less victory than the Bills. And they are at home.
xsoldier54 Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 And why wouldn't they? Until this team can start being more consistent and minimize the turnovers, they should not be picked to beat almost anyone.
SF Bills Fan Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 It is in Pitt, so that is probably the reason.
Security Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Not only are they picking Pitt but on PTI yesterday Wilbon said that both the Bucs and Jags were going to beat us! Lol this is the kind of respect we get from people around the country that don't watch our games but just look out our record. Â I don't get that. Bills beat a top 10 team in Carolina, had another top 5 team on the ropes and blew it against KC, lost on last second FG to top 5 team in New England, and lost in OT to another top 10 team in Cincy.
Captain Caveman Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Actually, we are disrespected every week, and are only 3-6. Â Could be 0-9.
dollars 2 donuts Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Quick note from last nights PTI. Â Question was over under 1.5 wins between Jacksonville and Tampa bay combined rest of the way. Â Willbon went over, giving both the Bucs and Jags wins against the Bills.....now that is some disrespect LOL Â Surprised no one on here is going bat chit crazy ....or maybe I am only one who still watchescPTI Â Â Wow, wow. That bugs the hell out of me and I am not kidding you. Â Wow. Â That is just short of saying this team is lucky to have the 3 wins that they do and I don't want to hear the old "their 3-6, but could easily be 7-2 or 0-9" garbage. This team has shown quite a bit with some tough breaks and not the other way around and that is freaking ridiculous.
Gerry Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 What concerns me in every game is not the opponent, but the Marrone/Hackett decision making. The 4th and 3 play and 1st and goal sequence cost them the game against KC. Up 10-3 with 1st and goal is the time to be conservative with a rookie QB and run the ball 3 times; if you don't get in, kick the FG and you're up 13-3. The Bills are improved, but not enough to overcome poor coaching decisions.
YoloinOhio Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Our local guys (live in Browns/Bengals country) both picked the Bills. They have seen a lot of the Steelers this year and said the Bills play everyone tough, every week. That was against the spread tho.
reddogblitz Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Perhaps the experts are figuring that while the Bills are an up and coming team and the Stealers are old and the Bills have it on paper, the Bills will figure out an all new way to lose this week.
tennesseeboy Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 I gotta pick the bills to win this one. If Manuel is back? A little shocking that there would be unanimity on ESPN given both teams' records. Well..we'll know what's what after we play them. Go Bills.
