9/12/2021 Steelers @ Bills Post Game thread

[schoolhouserock]

Way too many penalties today. Blocked punt was terrible. Kicking a FG while in the red zone with ~6 minutes left was a bad, bad decision.

 

Deserved the L. PIT had some very good plays all around. Sucks to lose this - will be a tough tie breaker to overcome.

[No_Matter_What]

Let the doom begin!

 

I am not happy but whatever. Allen was worse than any game last season, offense was not clicking, Daboll made som weird calls, McDermott made some really bad ones, one ST play broke our neck. Defense was fine and did its job. Refs didn't help too but they didn't decide this game.

 

We will get better, I am not afraid. Allen was probably too amped, he will settle down.

I didn't understand how their guys were open up the seem; but they had pressure and double coverage on all of our plays?

They rushed four and got pressure. Every. Single. Play.

We can stop worrying about the hype from the media. So, we have that going for us, which is nice.

time to say it.  Bean SUCKS.  

 

—Terrible draft choices on DL

 

—Fails to fix a bad OL. 

 

—Fails to fix cb2.  

 

—Gets a new punter who sucks, and held ball too long during max protect. 

 

—Allows OC to continue crappy play calling. 

 

 

 

It's week 1

The same holes that haunted this team last year are back,holding penalties,lack of 

pass rush, corner play , punting, Josh fumbling and can’t hit long passes, tight end usage nonexistent.

let’s see how they recover from this loss!

One QB threw to the open receivers.

[GETTOTHE50]

We beat ourselves but the refs made sure of it.

 

the Steelers didn’t do much of anything asides from the blocked punt and be the beneficiaries of reffing

As much of a stinker as this one was, I don’t think we have to worry about it being a habit. Everyone was just off.  Not typical for this team, but certainly not above it. 

[noacls]

8-9  team at best

[Brand J]

Same problems as last year. OL struggles to protect, DL struggles to get home with 4, DBs can’t hold long enough for DL to get home. Wallace is still a liability, Edmunds can’t catch a cold (why is he on the hands team??), and the team won’t go far if Allen is off. Team is also not good enough to have 2nd and 3rd round picks inactive.

Milano played well.

Pitt made all the key plays with a little bit of luck. That Johnson TD catch was a lot of luck. Pitt made a lot of key catches. The INT that was overturned was huge. 
 

Overall we deserved to lose. You cant keep a team in the game like we did. We were out of sync and in a funk all game. It happens. On to Miami!

 

While you are absolutely right, the disheartening aspect is that the Steelers suck.  They're not a good team.  Decent defense, but that's it.  They are not a SB contender team.  They are a 1 and done playoff team at best.  That's what worries me.

[JAMIEBUF12]

Seems to me its been 3 seasons now of wondering when we will upgrade levi wallace.year after year we watch him get picked on.

[BeastMaster]

Outclassed in every way in the second half 

 

This team isn't as good as we have been led to believe 

[PaoloBillsFanFromItaly]

Props to the Steelers defense, they were tough to the challenge against our modern passing attack.

Nevertheless without 2 big phantom calls, the INT by Tre and the PI against Levi, the Bills (defense) wins the game easily.

That's my take.

[Warcodered]

Well they got punched in the mouth, looking at it positively, it happened early hope they can buckle down from here.

[dgrochester55]

The rest of the NFL knows what the Buffalo offense is about and they wont get away with being one dimensional as much as last year.

 

I am not worried, yet, I would rater have a wake up call like this early.  Hope they can learn from this and make the necessary adjustments.

[Roundybout]

My biggest fear before the season so far is confirmed - our defensive back depth is atrocious. We can't have Taron Johnson on Mapletron and I've long wished we would move on from Levi. 

 

Offensive line was horrific but I think the Steelers have the best front four in the league. Of course, then why didn't we scheme around that with some rollouts or RUN PLAYS?
