Bad Josh too

This team will only go as far as Allen takes us. If he plays poorly the Bills they most likely lose. Today is a good example of that. The Steeler D is pretty stout vs the run. As a  result, I'm not surprised they weren't successful. However, the Bills really never even tried to establish a resemblance of a run game. Take some pressure of Allen. I'm not sure if this type of offense will be as successful as last year. It's only one game but I'm pretty concerned.

UGH!

Sanders got clotheslined before the ball got to him. No call. Pretty evident we still have to play against the other team and the refs.

Better to suck in September than January.

 

 

If we get to January...

[mannc]

And the Steelers are maybe the third best team in their division…probably an 8-9 team.

Cut Saunders and sign Brown tonight. 

[SoCal Deek]

This team is a mess on offense. You’re not going to win consistently with this nonsense. Never going to happen.

[BigDingus]

Hats off to the defense though. They held the Steelers down the majority of the game, and allowed only 17 points with only 1 TD (3 FGs). 

 

If not for a blocked punt returned for a TD, we'd be in OT right now.

What happened to motion? Screens? Any sort of misdirection at all. Bills certainly choked that game away. Quite disturbing

Bills sucked today. Ya the refs didn't help

them at all, but can't blame anyone except the players and the coaching.

 

16 points on offence and 6 in the 2nd half..

 

All with pretty good field position

Win next week?

 This team wins 12 games, no doubt in my mind.

 
this was a wake up call, you will

see a different team next week…  tho we don’t play the Steelers again so that helps too!

I thought the defense looked much better than last year and your first point may not be true pretty ticky tacky pi on Levi Wallace and lotssss of holding not called on pit too and they were still pretty stout

Ball was tipped so it doesn’t matter 

[Bronxbomber21]

I think the guys needed a kick in the mouth early i think we bounce back big time come next weekend 

[Don Otreply]

Well, that was an effort by an offense that was rusty and out of sync, the D did fine imo, but the O didn’t hold up it’s end of the deal, a real wake up call for Dabol and the entire Offense, on to next week…, 

 

Go Bills!!!

Defence sucked when they needed them The most. 
 

Great first half, not a good 2nd half. 0 punts from Pitts in the 2nd half
