Living in Stiller country I can tell you what they were saying... for weeks leading up to that game “the duck” was THE GUY and there was no way the bills were gonna head into their stadium and beat them.... then it was “whatever. You beat our 3rd stringer”. They talked jive the whole lead up to the game knowing they had a built in cop out if he happened to get exposed like anyone with half a brain knew would happen vs the first good defense he played. owning a local gym I deal with a lot of traffic and A TON of trash talk through football season. So I had a pretty good pulse on how they were feeling heading into that game.

Not with Duck Hodges as their QB. Revisionist history. Most major sports outlets picked the Steelers as the easy win. To this day I don't know why you even participate in this board. Not trying to throw shade, but peeople talk about this forum like it's a good message board. It is, but not with incessantly depressed and misinformed, misguided, or just plain wrong posters as the content providers. 1
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 LOL this. ..... Like a song will intimidate the other team..... This is a nothing burger story .....

What does this have to do with my point that that the Steelers weren't a good team with Duck Hodges as their QB? They weren't. They lost 3 in a row to end the season including a blow out loss to the Ravens backups. they also won 3 in a row before the bills game and were 8-2 after a bad start.... but that doesn't really support what you are trying to do here, so I get it. they definitely got figured out by the end of the season but theres no debating they were playing well and one of the hottest teams in the league heading into that SNF game.

Billl Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 Hodges didn’t throw a TD the rest of the season, nor did he crack 100 yards in either of the remaining games. He averaged 1.11 air yards per attempt against the Bills...the average pass attempted barely crossed the line of scrimmage. The next week? He averaged -.35 air yards per attempt. I’ve never even heard of that before. Hodges is horrific. Trying to spin it any other way is laughable. Their defense was very good, though. Their offense turned it over 5 times that game, and they held the Bills to 17 points. (FTR, Pittsburgh closed as a 1 point favorite.)

It was big for them, it was big for us.....errr...Buffalo. Nobody cares who the ******* QB was. Except those that "throw shade". 1

Who gives a flying **** what Hodges did post Buffalo. Irrelevant to the meaning of that game. The only thing laughable are your putrid posts. 1

You post about what they did BEFORE Buffalo because obviously that’s meaningful, but when I respond with what happened AFTER they played, nobody gives a flying **** because that’s irrelevant. Makes sense. (Never mind the fact that the come from behind win prevented what would otherwise have been a 5 game losing streak to end the season.)

You WOULD count the bills playing their 2nd and 3rd stringers in a meaningless finale as part of an argument for a losing streak. That’s just so.... you. Edited June 25, 2020 by Stank_Nasty

Go back and show me where I ever mentioned previous weeks. I'll wait.

Which supports the argument of McD and the Bills struggling against the better teams of the league.... The Steelers weren’t one of them. I was referring to his saying we basically had a 5 game losing streak to end the season. Which means he was including our meaningless loss to the jets when we played our backups. It’s dumb to try and include that game in anything and really shows what sort of lame agenda the poster has always had. Edited June 25, 2020 by Stank_Nasty 1

Never mind that the 3 other losses were to 3 of the 4 best teams in the AFC, with one of them being a screw job. Edited June 25, 2020 by Doc

AmishRifle Posted June 26, 2020 Author Posted June 26, 2020 Sometimes, when you start a thread, you just never know where it will go!

That next drive they got a turnover and went up 16-0.... it’s not like the refs gave them the lead down 16-0. And...20 is greater than 16, which is how many points the Texans had to score during their furious comeback just to tie the game.
