It doesn't have to be season ending. But I think they put him on IR today at 4.  

Thought coach said they were waiting to make another move before putting him on IR. Was just wondering what the other move was???

Here’s the stats on the Bills Vikings game that everyone keeps referencing: https://www.nfl.com/games/bills-at-vikings-2018-reg-3

 

Chris Ivory was the leading rusher and receiver. The Vikings gifted us 10 points with turnovers deep in their own end. The Bills benefited from two HUGE penalties in their opening TD drive. Everyone remembers Josh jumping over Barr, but Milano had a monster game. The Bills D won that game.

They’re signing you. How’s your 40 time?

Is the shout box covering like half the forum for anyone else?  For me all the text is bleeding down into the thread titles.  Makes it a pain for me to read anything.

I suggest you take a look at the tape. This is where stats are very deceiving. The 1st int wasn't Pickett's fault. Yes, the 2nd one is on him as he threw inaccurately as he was backing up. The 3rd one was a hail mary. 

 

In short, in the sample of a half Pickett showed a lot of promise. He was willing to " rip it" and " wing it" unlike Mitch. He also ran in 2 tds which was impressive. 

 

This is a very tough ask for Pickett. Making his first NFL start in Buffalo vs a very good defense. Buffalo's track record vs rookie Qbs is very good too. The Steelers oline is very good and Harris is not a game breaker. He's more of a smasher and a grinder. The Bills run D should play well. I think we will see a Steeler offense that will throw it a little bit more downfield. Take chances because truthfully they have nothing to lose. 

 

Conversely, I think the Bills try to establish the run and feed Singletary. Take some shots down field with Diggs. Shakir should have a few more opportunities as well. It's key the Bills offense comes out sharp and doesn't turn over the ball. In the past, Tomlin has had great game plans against Allen. However, with no Watt and a banged up secondary makes the Steelers more vulnerable and beatable. 

 

Steelers will show up, be ready, excited about Pickett. The Bills are at home with the superior team. 

 

Bills 31

Pitt 20

 

In fairness to Mitch, when he did let a throw rip, the receiver ended up out of bounds.

Congrats on being the first person alive to say this. 

When your qb is responsible for 100 percent of your offensive touchdowns he won’t be the only one and he isn’t

JMO, but Greg Cosell and Colin Cowherd don't belong in the same sentence unless that sentence is:

"Cowherd is an entertainer who has a job talking about football, about which he knows a little.  Greg Cosell is a serious football film nerd consulted by coaches and GMs, who has been so well known for it that they pull him out of his film room and make him talk to people.

They just can’t run the ball and the evidence is overwhelming. Check the runblock win rate statistics for the oline and get back to me

Same for me; was wondering what was going on!

 

ETA - It's gone now. Perhaps because I opened a thread?

Click on the down arrow to the right.  That's what I did and it closed the box.

[Big Turk]

When do they update McKenzie's status for concussion protocol?

 

Seems like based on everything I have read he should be cleared today at some point?

Either it got fixed or leaving the site and coming back worked for me after doing that.

That wasnt doing anything for me either.  Its fixed now anyways.

Watched the Ravens game again last night.  Really excited about Shakir.  He only made a couple of plays, but they were both really key plays & he showed a lot of skill w/ each - both in getting open, and making great moves once he had the ball.  

 

And man, did we get a little lucky on that Poyer INT in the EZ.  The receiver was so wide open - but our pass rush kept Jackson from putting enough on the ball, so it floated and gave Poyer time to get there.

 

Actually, that isn't lucky. Our pass rush forced the bad throw. We're great.

What? I haven't seen the final in jury report....other than Terrell.

Anywho, my 2 bits... I'm still worried about the Pitt. Dline. They are gonna spell trouble. Probably no standard run game for us.

 

Gilliam is gonna have to be in to protect and he better be able to do it. A lot of people dissing the lack of Knox grabs, but does anyone notice him lining up behind the guard all the time and giving us pass pro that wouldn't exist otherwise? We're gonna notice it tomorrow.

 

This game may end up being another discussion about half time adjustments. Hoping for a breakout game from Shakir and Cook. I think we can kill it with screens and YAC with Diggs being Diggs

 

I can't go the 14 though. 31-20

Second of 4 AFC North games for me.  Was in B’more last Sunday. Made the drive north for Pittsburgh.  Still to come Cleveland and @Cincy.  Weather looking fine for tomorrow.
