The thing about the Bills in recent years is that they are a measuring stick game for all opponents. Beating the Bills is big. and Buffalo just didn’t even come close to caring about a preseason game as much as Pittsburgh.  But the penalties are a huge concern.  that will derail important games 


 

And this is really unacceptable frankly. 
 

This was as great a spot as any to match a hungry home team’s energy and also their last chance to make a statement before the opener.  
 

The Jets are going to be flying up and down the sidelines on Monday night and we’re going to be giving that collective blank stare.

After a fluke start of the Steelers scoring 2 TDs on 2 plays, they did a whole lot of diddly and squat against our defense the rest of the game.  After the opening drive, they never again scored points on a drive from further than midfield.

 

They ended up going...

- punt

- punt

- punt

- TD from on drive starting on our 7 yard line that should have been a FG

- FG on a drive starting in our red zone 

- FG on drive starting mid field

- fumble

- punt

- punt

 

Wasn't the first time the Steelers pulled a fluke win on us.  Kyle Allen and Barkley made mistakes trying to out-gunsling the other after Barkley's performance last week heated up the competition for QB2.

 

*edit*

And of course THIRTEEN penalties didn't help.  No idea what to say about that part.

- Dion Dawkins was terrible

- Spencer Brown was also terrible

- Ed Oliver was pushed around 

- Poyer looks like he has lost a step. He looks slow

- I’m concerned about Cook in pass-pro. It was only one play but he got stood straight up and the only thing that saved him was the linemen next to him

 

- On the positive side of things, Kincaid is great at using leverage. 

- Torrence was alright 


You didn’t even mention special teams! Bills almost had a punt blocked, had a block in back on a return, flubbed a return, had several awful returns, and allowed a monster return.

I expect most of the issues we saw tonight to be fixed by Week 1.  
 

That said…

 

Brown and Dawkins were straight up getting beat.  We can scheme up to help one tackle if they need it.  We can’t have two of them being dumpster fires.. especially one being paid as much as Dawkins.  
 

Seems pretty clear Dodson ain’t it at MLB.

Penalties killed us

 

Even if we blew them out most importantly there were no injuries to starters or key depth guys.

 

Dawkins and Brown were awful.  Dawkins has been so average for years now

On the bright side, Davis and Kincaid could make doubling Diggs a problem.

Davis was starting look like a problem for teams, Steelers were probably starting to get flashbacks until that flag showed up.

Are you really comparing a meaningless preseason game to the season opener?  We seemed ready to go in the NFL opener last year.  To quote a certain qb, “Relax.”

Looking at it objectively every time Josh went back to pass he had a guy in his face. It felt like the Bengals game.

 

Dalton Kincaid is going to be amazing 

Backup QB is a major problem.
MLB and CB2 are going to be serious issues if someone doesn’t emerge soon. 
 

The referees were practically piggybacking the Steelers down the field in this game. 
 

This was a my goodness they can’t be this bad game.
