I think somebody mentioned earlier it might be Minkah Fitzpatrick doing the calls... At least it was speculation from this article https://steelerswire.usatoday.com/lists/steelers-bills-nfl-vince-williams-avery-williamson/ Last week, when Robert Spillane went down with a knee injury, Williams took over the role of taking the defensive play calls. Now with Williams out, this means a different player, perhaps safety Minkah Fitzpatrick will be responsible for running the defense on the field. Edited December 11, 2020 by goober 1
Dont Stop Billeiving Posted December 11, 2020 Posted December 11, 2020 2 hours ago, RichRiderBills said: Not that concerned w pouncey getting no practice in 10 days, out there blocking and making calls, touching the ball every snap. Might actually be in our favor. Yeah fair point. Even though he's a veteran, he hasn't practiced with Ben and the O-line in a while. For what it's worth, Joe Marino on the Locked On Bills podcast said Pouncey has been performing at an average to below average level for the past couple seasons now. I'm sure he's better than his back up would have been, but hopefully Oliver and Butler can win that match up. Pittsburgh's O-line overall isn't close to being the dominant unit it once was especially at LG, C, and RT. 1

I wonder if having Minkah out there has improved Haden's play, or covered his mistakes. What covers mistakes is the rush, sacks, and bums they've played at QB. 1

Kiper on FULL send....actually probably not even full send because it looks like he’s about to blow a gasket if it weren’t for being on TV. I remember a clip with him and 3 others, including Todd Mcshay, on NFL live in the spring before the 2019 season. The cast was asked who could be the most successful out of that 2018 class after their rookie years and Kiper fought for Allen. They all literally laughed right at him on television. He can be sort of a douche but he has pounded the table for Allen since day one. I remember that clip like it was yesterday. McShay asked him multiple times in a row if he thought Allen would be better than Darnold and was mocking him - Kiper stuck to his guns. Everyone laughed him off the table, but he wouldn't budge. He kept pointing to a lot of Allen's incompletions as great passes
EmotionallyUnstable Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 I’m starting to feel really good about this game, which has me feeling really not so good at all. 🤔 BBFS 1

My guess is that Beasley may have a quite night because of this. On the other hand Diggs & Davis my explode.
Pokebball Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 (edited) How many points do the Bills have to score Sunday night? Steelers give up an average of under 18. I think if we put 24 on the board we win. But those 24 will prove to be very tough to get. Josh will be under pressure all night. Small ball wins this game and Josh has to manage that type of game.

RichRiderBills Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 One bills Live today was saying the ESPN stat that josh is only 53 % accurate when blitzed is false. Did anyone have the real number?

It’s the outside receivers that typically see their production limited against steelers

I am interested to see if Beasley can get open and if our line can give Josh time to find his open options.

Even our worst podcast guys do better. 1

Allen has been killing blitzes all year. https://www.buffalobills.com/news/8-things-to-watch-for-in-bills-vs-steelers-sunday-night-football Quote Against the blitz, Allen has the third-best QBR in the league with a mark of 92 along with a completion percentage of 67 percent, a success rate that's only slightly off his season completion percentage of 69.9 percent.

Apparently all you need to do is blitz Allen to beat him. And the stats of him against the blitz have proven how good he is against it so I don't know why they say it other than it's the Steelers.
