Putin Posted September 16, 2021 Posted September 16, 2021 9 hours ago, dave mcbride said: The thing is, when you factor out points that derive directly from turnovers, the Bills scored 14, 19, and 13 points vs. the Steelers in 2019, 2020, and 2021. And 7 of those 19 points in 2020 came after the Steelers punter shanked a punt that set the Bills up at the Steelers 40 yard line. Basically, the Steelers' defense is a terrible matchup for the Bills. When you can get pressure with 4 lineman it’s a bad matchup no matter who is on the receiving end

For example, solid run game, screens, quick slants, misdirection plays, etc... The Bills flat out failed to make the proper adjustments, players didn't execute, and or they don't have the personnel to match up with the Steelers. Probably a combination of all three. 17 minutes ago, Putin said: When you can get pressure with 4 lineman it’s a bad matchup no matter who is on the receiving end Wish the Bills could do something similar.

bigduke6 Posted September 16, 2021 Posted September 16, 2021 lack of adjustments in the 2nd half cost us this game. dont care about how close it was, dont care about the blocked punt, thats a fluke. when a defense can get after your QB all game with just 4, you arent going to win alot. all i saw our OC do about that was.......nothing. he didnt chip with a TE, he didnt run screens, did nearly nothing to slow down that pass rush. cant win like that in the NFL. hell, Pitt got pressure with 3 on a few plays..........that......is on the oline. if youve got 5 guys that cant block 3, thats a problem.

It looks like you've posted 11K times in the short time you've been here..........I might have had back and forth with you 3 times? So check your math. My point is that you are spamming the main board with hollow takes that are no better than "thumbs up/thumbs down" reaction level. That's what they are there for. Now if you up your bot-level post game maybe you can join a circle ***** the wall and make some friends you can also connect on Facebook with!.........but on the main board the objective should be advancing football discussion, not what you do. 1

If you have Watt and Heyward, the answer is yes. Otherwise, I don't think there's some new solution here. Every team that watched Super Bowl LV saw the Bucs shut down the Chiefs with their front four, but even a Browns team with Myles Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney didn't have enough for a similar showing on Sunday. There are little things requiring attention here and there for the Bills, but their biggest problem in Week 1 was facing a dominant defense. Edited September 16, 2021 by Nineforty paywall

Even today Vegas still expects the Steelers to finish 3rd in their division. Let's not get carried away with the strength of the opponent.......the Bills beat themselves.........they didn't take what the defense gave them, they got out-coached by A LOT(especially in the second half) and they failed to generate a turnover and lost that battle. Given the Ravens truly ridiculous injury situation, I'll be surprised if they do better than the Steelers.

A true elite QB is going to hit those type of passes more times than not which is why Mahomes, Rogers, Brady, etc are truly deserving of their MVP status. For whatever reason Allen is just can't do it even when a guy is wide open, still time for it to change though. Hopefully his long ball is getting better. If memory serves the Saunders overthrow wasn't terrible. I thought Saunders was maybe 1 and 1/2 strides away. He used to overthrow John Brown, who is a true burner, by 5 yards. EDIT: I have now seen Wiz's earlier post with pics and with which I agree. Edited September 16, 2021 by starrymessenger
