And yet, our starting QB is Josh Allen and theirs is a rookie from Nathan Peterman University…I think we’ll be fine.

Pretty sure that is the same University as Dan Marino University too.

Probably an ugly one today with all these injuries. The danger with Pickett is he won’t hesitate to sling it downfield and put pressure on Bills D.

Expand  

Lets see him do it.

Hard to sling downfield from your back, which is where he’ll spend a good part of the day.

I'd rather not see him do it!

Going to need time to do that and the Steelers OLine likely will not give it to him verus a fully healthy DLine for us.

I’m really excited to see Shakir. I think there’s a really good chance he steps in, makes a ton of plays (ala 2010 Stevie Johnson) and just never comes out of the starting lineup again

Pickett is a good quarterback.  Daniel Jones is playing Aaron Rodgers and holding his own.  These 2nd/3rd tier QB's beat elite QB's all the time.  You need a great QB in today's NFL, but never count out these 2nd/3rd tier QB's.  They show up and have great games sometimes.  Bills need to get pressure on him.

Lol. Thinking of switching it up today. I always root for the bills. My wife says I need to be more spontaneous.

In what world can you anoint a rookie QB who has played one NFL game and thrown 3 INTS a good QB?

The “ trap game” myth has been debunked. Statistically it doesn’t exist. 

Expand  

Also, the team is well aware that they're missing key people, nor are they likely to overlook last year's surprising loss to the Steelers. I'm thinking this is the first non-weather game for Josh Allen since week two. I think he's going to enjoy himself. And I think the pass rush will enjoy feasting on "Small Hands" Pickett.

I'm sure no one will ask if McKenzie being inactive is precautionary or he's still in protocol in the post game.

And that's probably not a bad thing for player longevity and overall health. 

Expand  

I mean Ryan Bates cleared it within a week the week of Tua's second concussion, maybe McKenzie just didn't clear it, that can happen.

[stevestojan]

The line hasn’t changed. Still -14. 
 

Which means gamblers (see: not people with emotional attachment) aren’t worried about the injuries.

Losing to Pickett would be humiliating, what with his child sized hands and the gloves he probably keeps pinned to his sleeves all year long.

We lost to Lawrence last year. And that was with a fitter team than we have today.

Mike White looked like a really good QB before he played us too...

On the road in a game they didn't take seriously. That will not happen again.

He is a 1st round draft pick.  He came into a game as opposed to this game where he has been practicing as the starter.  He can make throws.  Watch, you will be surprised.  He is legit.  Guys play much better when they spend a week knowing they are the starter.
