Views from the Opposition City - week 1 Pittsburgh

[Scott7975]

Buffalo is going to destroy Pittsburg.  There I said it.  I believe it.  If I am wrong then oh well.

[Solomon Grundy]

Stephen Tuitt out for game. The football gods are back for the Bills

[Solomon Grundy]

Joe Haden not happy in Pittsburgh? Looking for contract extension 

[Stank_Nasty]

Wasn’t Banner one of the new starters? If our guys don’t feast on that OL I’ll be slightly alarmed 

 

EDIT: After some digging, I’m seeing they are gonna be starting a 4th round rookie at LT. Time to HUNT, Jerry.

The Steelers offense is loaded at the skill positions.  I wouldn't take them lightly.

JuJu will be farting around at midfield doing his tiki tok nonsense.

I think he’s wisened up and matured. Did you see him on the Crate Challenge.

um, i guess our definitions of "loaded" are different. sorry, not seeing it.

 

A handful of #2 and #3 wr's, a TE that may have worse hands than our guy, and an unproven RB running behind a line that lost its best 3 players off one of the worst units in the NFL.... Loaded? Nah, not even close. They have an average cast of weapons.

I have not seen any of the Steelers this preseason.  Has Ben’s arm strength regenerated over the off season?  If not, his weapons mean little.  34/20 Bills is my expectation here.

He will be like Fitz.  To start the season his arm will be strong, over the season it will deteriorate to the point at season end he will be worse than last year, have an arm at that point to rival Tua's.

Huh? Tua does have a strong arm you know, probably not as accurate

 

[Coffeesforclosers]

This feels like the first Dolphins game last year. Flores had them ready with the perfect gameplan to stop 2019 Josh Allen.  Gesicki killed us but Josh went off and we won anyway.

 

Tomlin's going to give us his version of KCs gameplan from the AFC title game. Pittsburgh's corners are going to be as physical as the refs allow.  Their box defenders will attack our OL to cause confusion, clog up running lanes and passing lanes over the middle, and get in Josh's head.  That's what we're gonna see until we prove we can beat it.  

 

Tomlin's a great coach, he won't waste time reinventing the wheel.

Huh?  He didnt have a strong arm last year, he was still recovering from hip surgery.  Lets see if he can return to Alabama form.

[Hapless Bills Fan]

 

I howled at this one.

 

Five Reasons This Would Not Work:

1. Josh Allen is an escape artist.  Would evade kidnap attempt and hurl cross-body TD pass to Stef Diggs.

    (Also Mitch Trubisky)

2. Would motivate Beas to work extra-hard to evade that coverage

3. Tre's been dealing with diaper contents for several years - he'd hose off and play

4. Tik-Tok Boy's Dances were motivational last time.....for the Bills

5. McDermott is so Hard-Core he would coach in a Man-Diaper and shoot an IV at halftime.

Ben is Ben.  Older now, but when he's good, he's good.

 

I'd take Najee over any 2 RBs on this current roster.  Juju, Claypool, Dionte and Ebron.  

 

They're loaded, whether you want to admit it or not.

Very solid on defense as well.  Have to perform at high level and not make any mistakes.

Healthy, start of the season Ben is much better than later season Ben. He's the one thing that gives me pause. 

 

They have a lot of talent at skill positions, but that offensive line is not going to give them a lot of room to work with and is going to have to hold up.

I don't know man. I believe DS will look good this season.

Should be a fun game..

[billsherd]

Steelers defense is top 5 in the league. Being first game of the season it should be a good match up.
