I think they know who they've played though... Triple A schedule. The week before they needed a defensive TD to beat a qb who had 33 passing yards. They have not been playing good football especially lately and the record is not really indicative of the teams play.

 

And a crazy sequence at the end of the first half that had Baltimore at their 1 yard line attempt to run it with no timeouts, PIT committed a clear delay of game penalty and then their TE dropped a pass in the endzone as time expired in the half that would have been a TD.

 

They struggled with Dallas and almost lost to them before rallying late, and survived late scares from Tennessee and Baltimore also.  Realistically they probably should have 9 wins right now based on talent, the soft schedule and backup QBs made it easier than it should have been. KC would smoke them in a playoff game. Full marks to them for taking care of things on their end, you don't get to choose your schedule, but the Bills have had a much tougher schedule on balance than the Steelers have.

They are among the worst running teams in the NFL even WITH Connor, averaging 92.6 yards a game rushing and 3.7 YPC, 4th worst in the NFL.

This is just recency bias. People always react according to the last game played.

 

Recency is important in sports.

I always check out the competitions boards before we play them.  Quite often sign up for an account and chit chat about the upcoming game...when I went to the steelers forum this time I found this.  *****...you would think they are 1 and 11 and not 11 and 1.  Also saw a couple other threads that it seems the majority think we will crush them.  Shocked really. 

 

Anyway thought I'd share.

I have a good friend who is a Steelers fan and my impression is they have no appreciation of, or faith in, the quality of their franchise.  Even in their strongest years fans like to b*tch about stupid things and believe the team isn't much good.  Constantly thinking they're going to lose a game.  I wonder how many of their fans actually enjoy rooting for them because by all appearances my friend doesn't.  The misery seems to outpace the joy.  To each his own, I guess.

On paper, the Bills are a horrible matchup for the Steelers.

They are banged up on D.

[Whkfc]

what a spoiled entitled bunch of fans. To used to having a good team. Could you imagine the Bills winning a single Superbowl forget 5/6 of them. An 11-1 should get a little more respect from thier own fans.

[TheFunPolice]

Steelers aren't bad, but they don't strike me as a real contender, regardless of their record.

 

Every time I see them play they seem flat/unimpressive.

Wow that is a name I have not heard on these boards for a long time. Thanks for bringing up bad memories lol

Horrible for the Steelers?  Why so?  Curious if your take is different from what I’ve been reading. 

I like the way you think. 🤣

 

Bills weakness is their run D > Steelers have a poor run game

Bills defensive strength is secondary > Steelers can't throw the ball downfield

 

I think the Steelers being banged up on D tilts the scale to favor Josh Allen and the Bills offense.

 

I basically just don't see any isolated matchup that favors Pittsburgh.

Thanks! I signed up to the site! I wanted to be nice and tell them let's have a great game on Sunday and to wish them good luck.. I also told them I'm a Buffalo Bills fan. So I don't know how they are going to react. 

[4_kidd_4]

I’m not going to their board. 

 

But I’d like to take this opportunity to state that I’m tired of Mike Tomlin’s stupid face.

 

That is all.

I think after watching Buffalo vs 49ers after the loss probably didn't help matters.

 

Myself personally, the Steelers are worn down from the compressed scheduling IMO.

Beautiful....just beautiful.  Reminds me of Mints and the Sundowner across the border!

 

There was an "Underground Railway" in Civil War.

Is there one to get customers to Canada (no idea if businesses which used to get a lot of business from Bills and other players is still open).

I think it will be a very hard-fought game.  Big Ben has excelled at getting the ball out of his hands quickly and letting people make plays.  We have to be on guard for the screen passes and quick dump-offs that we sometimes allow to go for 5-6 ypc.  That moves the chains.

 

I think TJ Watt will be fired up

I don't know about that. They probably don't want to take the team for granted and be lax.

I've been looking at that.

 

For those of you who are going to their board, I'm curious what the Steelers fans see as their biggest strengths and the drivers for their impressive record?

 

FWIW I would share that the Bills had their own run in with being handed the Covid reschedulings due to another team's follies, and struggling with it.

That's Steelers fans for ya. I lived in the area for seven years and you'd think that the Steelers were one of the worst organizations at times by the way some fans would react to the team.

 

Even though they're tied for the best record in the NFL, they aren't the best team. That said, some Steeler fans can typically be way too hard on their team.

 

All that said though, I believe we will beat them too.

So you let him get fired up and run into a Mongo forearm when hes not looking. Won't be fired up for long.
