Chandler#81 Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 I’ve been unafraid of this game all season, believing Pittsburgh is a Paper Tiger. -OK, not as good as advertised. What we did last season -blaring their ‘fight song’ during the weeklong practices- says we are a prepared team every week. 4 1
Greg S Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 I wish the Bills would have had an opportunity to give them their first loss. Three games in eleven days for them could be tough but I expect a pissed off Steelers team coming to Buffalo after a loss. Tomlin looks and sounds angry in his post game comments after a win so I could only imagine what kind of a mood he will be in this week. This game will be tough but winnable. 10-3 would be a nice and since KC will probably beat Miami a Bills win would all but guarantee the AFCE. 1
YoloinOhio Posted December 8, 2020 Author Posted December 8, 2020 Steelers could be down their top 2 corners to injury and down to 3rd string MLB. 10

buffalobillswin Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 Can’t wait for the Steelers to try and beat us 5 yards at a time. Most boring team to watch in the league. 3
Process Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 Annoying that Washington beat them. Would have been nice to see the Bills hand them their first loss. 2
loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 Steelers should be very worried about us. They look sluggish and uninspired the last few games. Let’s see which team shows up?

I think a lot of us wanted that, but if we can give them their second loss and have opportunity to get up to 2nd seed and have possible 2 home games that would be ideal . 5
hemma Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 Seems strange to see the Steelers at 28th in run offense. They hit crappy weather in the playoffs and they could have a quick trip to the couch.
Bferra13 Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 Couldn't have asked to play them at a better time with their injuries and slumping. Can't lay an egg here at home. Old Bills teams would crap the bed right about now. Exorcise those old demons once and for all here and show the nation we are for real, now and for a long time to come. 3 1

YattaOkasan Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 I actually prefer playing this team after a loss (particularly the type they had). I think they could def have been playing hard because of the perfect record. Now that its slipped away I think they have another let down game. Oakland just had 2 let down games (Greggo bailing them out of 2 losses) after that heartbreaking loss to the Chiefs. Even though they are pros these type of let downs happen (also short week so any hangovers eat a bigger chunk of time). 1
BearNorth Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 We do need to work on ball security, another couple of bad fumbles last night
Dont Stop Billeiving Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 Bud Dupree is a huge loss for the Steelers as well. One small complaint I have with Daboll is that he doesn't give enough respect in the game plan to elite defensive line players on the opposing team. A few times per game, you'll see a Gabe Davis or Tyler Kroft being asked to single block a Joey Bosa/JJ Watt/Myles Garrett and these guys have had a huge impact and have wrecked or nearly wrecked the game. We've caught a break with Dupree out with that unfortunate injury and I like to see us chip or double block TJ Watt on every play. The Steelers defense is strong, but limiting Watt's impact gives us the best chance to score points. It sounds really simple, but we haven't been able to stop that level of elite edge talent over the past couple years and I hope we'll adjust. 3

Yeah I think its as Chris Simms would say just not thinking how the whiteboard translates to the field. On the board its "O blocks X were good." In reality it could end up being Davis trying to seal Bosa on a run. Thats not gonna work. But honestly that was an amazing game he called last night. He had a lot of answers against a defensive coach everyone was fawning over. Edited December 8, 2020 by YattaOkasan 1
