For those of you underestimating Pittsburgh because of how they looked tonight, remember how out of sorts we looked against Tennessee. We’ll get Pittsburgh’s best effort and we better be ready. 1

Ben hasn't been great this season by most reports but admit without James Conner the Steelers could look better. Yet admit their D is for real. I like our chances.

Yet admit their D is for real. I like our chances. I absolutely think we can beat them, but none of that has to do with how they looked tonight for me. Their D is what’s most concerning to me. The Bud Dupree injury hurts for sure, but they just keep rotating in LBs that produce. Pittsburgh seems to have a good defense every year. No matter who is playing for them. It’s a mentality they seem to have year over year. Edited December 3, 2020 by TheProcess
BillsfaninChicago Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 Dang! I was so busy with work today I forgot there was an NFL game. I guess that means I am responsible and have my priorities straight? No just forgot...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 2 hours ago, Logic said: Looks like the Steelers MAY HAVE lost star pass rusher Bud Dupree (8 sacks, 2 forced fumbles this season) to a serious injury. Obviously we won't know until at least tomorrow what the prognosis is, but it was non-contact and didn't look good, and he went immediately to the locker room. Looked like an acl, They are already reporting acl...

Agreed. Honestly, for me, it’s the Chiefs and then everyone else chasing them. Doesn’t mean Chiefs can’t be beat. Just means they’re the best team going right now.

Exactly - I think the chiefs-saints coming up in a couple weeks is a SB preview as long as Brees can come back healthy. I just don’t see it any other way. Would be fun to be surprised but that’s my prediction.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 3, 2020 Author Posted December 3, 2020 Somewhere on a Steelers fan board, are fans are melting down because the Steelers faced off against a covid-depleted Ravens team and only beat them by 5 points? 1

Biggest letdown in a long time... All things considered | TheSteelersFans "This is worse than some playoff losses considering their depleted roster. Seemed like the fans cared more about the Ravens antics than actual players. I think Tomlin and Harbaugh shook hands.Worst part... Steelers ***** ass attitude of never blow a team out and making sure to get the under for Vegas. Might have got Dupree injured for the year. Game should have been over at halftime and back-ups should have been in by the 4th.Didn't look like Tomlin had them ready. He looked half asleep himself and forgot his aviators. Tuitt tweeting about padding stats and easy victory.Dupree out for the year and seasons over. Exactly why you blow these clowns out by 40 at halftime. I'm so mad."

Although, pre-injury, he was looking a little shakier to me this year. Age catches up to us all at some point. As good as their defense is, it may be enough to make up any slight step back from the offense. Another team in the NFC that’s up there for me is the Packers. If the Bills can’t make the Super Bowl, I think a Rodgers vs. Mahomes showdown would be really fun. Edited December 3, 2020 by TheProcess

Livinginthepast Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 That game was an awful spectacle for both teams and the league. The fact that so many Ravens tested positive for Covid and were out is testimony to that organizations complete failure of taking Covid seriously. But the real eye opener is how bad the Steelers were against this B team players. I havent watched enough of the Steelers this year to judge if they are full value for their record but last night they looked like a fraud. Final thought was how bittersweet it was to see RG3 again. Poor guy got run into the ground then run out of football by Shanahan and Washington. Nice to see that he is still on an NFL roster but what a sad shadow of himself he looked like last night.

No matter who is playing for them. It’s a mentality they seem to have year over year. They typically have a very good front 7 but only in recent years have they shored up their secondary. They used to get regularly undressed playing zone against Brady. Getting Haden and then minkah has really elevated their D. As good as they have been drafting WRs, they had been poor in drafting CBS for years. 1

Did you see Tomlin and Ben's postgame comments. Both were not happy. Tomlin especially. He was asked why did they have trouble when they got into the RZ. His answer was "US SUCKING". He basically said everything was bad. Ben said what Tomlin did. He was also asked about the "weird week" playing on a Wed and said "NO EXCUSES". He wasn't happy about the schedule either. He sarcastically said "we have a couple of hours before we have to play our "doubleheader" against Washington now.
entropyrules Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 All those dropped passes-BR laid the ball right in there but the receivers were god awful..I thought that was the biggest reason it wasn't a blow-out
