I want Cook to go off. Ive lost confidence in him. Looks like we did not elevate playoff Lenny. If the wind is not a factor maybe we will air it out and try and get up on them. After watching the QB play so far,. No way we can let Rudolph win a road playoff game.  McD usually has an answer to confuse them.

How will this game be played tomorrow?

 

The field will be fine.  Assuming that this "hardness" thing is resolved, which I'm sure it will be since they have heaters to address it.  

 

The question, again, is how the fans get to the game, park, etc.  

 

It'll be interesting to see how many make it.  Someone suggested shuttles from other areas which seems to be a great idea.  

 

Can't imagine that there will be many Steeler fans there that don't live in WNY already though, which is obviously a good thing.

Isn't Pitt playing with house money?

What road playoff wins have the Bills won?

Pitt is playing for a coach who's looking for a contract extension. Think they'll move on if they lose tomorrow??

Who will be in and run situation since he was the best blocking wide receiver?

 

Are you asking who will play for Davis?  Sherfield I assume, though I’m hoping we see Kincaid on some of those deeper routes

Sherfield is a good blocker

So this is the QB we are facing getting on the plane. I never saw him up close. Looks like a spoiled brat rich kid.

 

What the heck is he wearing? I thought he was a girl at first.

I never understood ‘house money’…at some point the Steelers have to rise above pretty good fringe playoff team or they are going to have to make changes 

 

idk what it is about Tomlin but this ‘his team is bad and he has them overachieving’ shtick has worn off on me the last few years.  A guy that has coached a team for 20 nearly years should be shooting for more than just ‘happy to be there’

This band just seems to be sitting over Orchard Park and the surrounding areas.  Getting all that snow out of there on time for the game is going to be tough.

Hope I'm wrong but can't see this game happening today.  Not sure how they get the snow out of the stands.  I'm on elma/orchard park bordar and approaching 3' of snow.

 

Roads surprisingly pretty clear though.

No way we can let Mason Rudolph beat Josh Allen in the playoffs while playing in Josh Allens home.  That would be brutal.

I think Tomlin gets much respect for his two SB rings. One was with Ben the other as an assistant coach. Right or wrong when you win a Lombardi as a coach it elevates your status. In short, you kind of get the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes their coaching skills aren't inflated. I think Mike McCarthy is a good example of that. 

 

Another factor is having a franchise QB. When a coach has an elite QB expectations are elevated pretty quickly. There is a different kind of pressure on the coach. I think Sean McDermott is a good example here. 

 

With that being said, Tomlin doesn't have a QB. He should take a hit for drafting Pickett because he's not franchise. Not sure he's even serviceable. Nevertheless, he has his team in the playoffs and arguably played in the toughest division the league. I don't think many thought Pitt would make the playoffs. 

 

IMHO, the Steelers have over achieved. No one is expecting them to beat the Bills. Truthfully, all the pressure is on Buffalo. I think the Packer and Cowboy game is a good example here.

 

Hopefully, the Bills can play well and beat them today.
