Kind of shocked Bills are favored.  The home Steelers have won 8 of 10 with second and third string QBs.  

Tomlin is doing a helluva job this year. Maybe his finest yet. But if we can’t beat a team led by devlin Hodges with this defense, I’ll have serious questions about our playoff legitimacy. Yes, they are at home with a great defense, but you have to figure out a way to get this done. Play like it means something.

Without looking, I imagine it's because the Texans and Titans play each other, thus making sure one of those 2 will have 6 losses

Go Bill's

I'm very nervous. They have a great o-line but so did Dallas. If we can't beat a rookie QB in his third start on national TV then we don't belong.

Win and in, right? That makes this the biggest Bill's game of the century. 

Well since we played the Steelers and their third string QB, a third string rb.......feels like deja vu

Click on Bills to Win on ANY of their three remaining games and they are in the playoffs. Don't Worry - Be Happy!

 

If they lose out they still get in 56% of the time. Not that anybody wants to get in that way...

I keep seeing people call a Hodges 3rd string. If Rudolph is benched and Hodges promoted doesn’t that make Hodges 2nd string?

 

If Rudolph was hurt and that was the reason Hodges was promoted then he’d be the 3rd string QB.

[Dointhatrag]

At the start of the season Pitt quarterbacks were:

rothlesberger

rudolph

josh dobbs 

 

hodges was cut during preseason and eventually signed to the steelers practice squad.  After the start of the season dobbs was traded and Hodges signed to the team.  Then rothelesberger was injured.  So Hodges was fourth string at the start of the season.

That defense is playing lights out. TJ Watt is pretty scary. Even more scary if he’s taking on Ford one on one. They better learn from the film of this Baltimore game cause the blitz is coming next week too but it will be much better disguised. Baltimore didn’t even try to hide it lol just lined up and rushed right at us. Pittsburgh is coming from everywhere and Fitzpatrick is just playing centerfield knocking down passes. 
 

Luckily I like our chances vs the duck. 
If this defense can force Brady into his worst game ever, then contain Lamar mostly, I’d be pretty disappointed if they let up and got beaten by 3rd string duck

When’s the last time Buffalo beat Pittsburgh. Not since he 90s I believe. I’m very nervous about this game. Seems like they always have our number. 

 

Maybe it’s the BBFS in me, but I see us not making the playoffs and losing out 

The Bills are 2-10 all time in Pittsburgh. 1 playoff win 1992, 1 regular season win 1975. So 44 years since the Bills have won in Pitt in reg season.

big game for Allen

Already did

Willie Parker and Mark Maddox. Bad memories.  

[Buffalo Barbarian]

 

I believe we win but im concerned about our Oline holding up against the blitz .

 

We also need to get back to Josh running the ball more, that didnt happen against the ravens, but was prominent in the three weeks before.

can he step up against a good defense and win the game on primetime? I'm tired of struggling to score 20 points per game with this offense meanwhile the Titans with Tannehill are putting up 30+ points every week for fun. 

 

 

 

Did you miss the previous 3 games ?? And how did Josh do josh do in the biggest primetime game of the season on thanksgiving??

Drew Lock today went on the road and beat a playoff team putting up 300+ yards.

seriously!? What the hell is wrong with you people. How we did against the steelers in the past has nothing to do with this team and this regime. WE ARE GOING TO THE PLAYOFFS

Dabboll hasn't learnt anything all year lol

 

you saw first hand today how clueless he is. ravens send blitz from the first drive to the last and he didn't make a single adjustment to it. no screens, max protect, TE seam routes, quick slants. 

 

Dabboll is so out of his depth at OC its embarrassing. 

 

Maybe you should learnt proper grammar.

 

 

[JoshAllin]

I picked bills to beat denver, dallas and ravens and not gonna lie, tj watt, minka and their D has me a bit worried the most this matchup. Though I still think bills pull it off, juju, connor and possibly vance being out could be huge

Where as today the Ravens were the better team, as well as Pitt has been playing I do think we are the better team and should take this. Our d should give them fits. 

I assume you meant:

   -  Today the Baltimore Ravens were a better team than us.

   -  However, Pittsburgh is NOT as good as the Buffalo Bills and hence we (Buffalo Bills) should be able to win the game next week

   -  Our Defense is very good and will give them fits.

 

Pittsburgh has a very opportunistic defense and leads the NFL in takeaways.  They know to bring Pressure.  Watt has been playing at a high level.  This will be a challenge for our OL.

Pittsburgh has one of the very best OL in football. They give time for the QB to throw. It will be a good test for our DB's to hang in there with their WRs. 

I also assume Conner and JuJU will be back for this game.

Thanks yes that’s what I meant.

 

I think head to toe we have a better overall roster than the Steelers. It may be close but I think we squeak it out.

Bills offense better come out playing much better with a better plan at Pittsburgh or it will be a long day.  Their defense is fantastic

No team has beaten a playoff team this season. The schedule doesn't work that way.
