If you remove one bad Josh, do you remove 2 good Joshes? Obviously, we'd like to see the elimination of bad Joshes without any impact on good Joshes. Is that possible? I think that's what Dorsey was trying to implement and it got him fired. If there's going to be an improvement on that score, it'll be down to work in the close season. IMO it's too late for this season now. 1 Quote
Brand J Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Perusing the Steelers MBs, it looks like about 70% of their fans wanted to play the Chiefs more than the Bills. Of those that wanted the Bills, the most prominent reason was more to avoid the game on Peacock than believing they matchup better. They also dislike KC more than BUF for some reason. 1 Quote

Mr. WEO Posted January 9 Posted January 9 Doesn't matter which bum Tomlin sticks in at QB, Big Ben ism long gone and the Bills D will light up any and all of the Steelers scrubs. 1 Quote
rayray808 Posted January 9 Posted January 9 If I was to choose any match up from the playoff teams in the AFC it would be this... Round one: host Steelers (Browns beat Texans) Round two: host Chiefs (Browns beat Ravens) Round three: host Browns SUPER BOWL - Bills vs Cowboys 5 5 2 Quote

If the Bills play a clean game the Steelers simply can't beat them. It’s pretty much that simple. Steelers will run a ton of Cover Zero and try to get the ball out of Josh’s hands quickly Kincaid and Shakir should have big games in that setting. I notice that former Bill Levi Wallace is their #2 Boundary CB. Wonder if he has improved since he left the 716. Quote
CaptnCoke11 Posted January 9 Posted January 9 (edited) Pittsburgh’s defense has been playing very good lately. I think even without Watt they will still be a problem. Our offense hasn’t exactly been lighting up the scoreboard. Edited January 9 by CaptnCoke11 1 1 Quote

He's made a couple plays here and there but he is generally the same limited athlete with questionable instincts who is the weak link in their secondary. 1 1 Quote

VaMilBill Posted January 9 Posted January 9 Worried about all the hype going for the Bills and Steelers flying under the radar. I think they are gonna want to punch us in the mouth and grind us down. Josh cannot make mistakes in this game when Pittsburgh plays near mistake free football. 1 1 Quote

Yeah but their backup edge defenders appear to be decent [not Watt level], This game will be decided in the trenches; our OL needs to protect Josh and open holes for Cook, Josh, & Lenny; and our DL needs to shut down the Steeler running game, and get some pressure on Rudolph. The injury list for the Bills is obviously concerning with the four guys with names starting with "D" dinged up. Quote
MikePJ76 Posted January 9 Posted January 9 I'm seeing on social media and in here a little bit already the same people who declared the bills would blowout the chargers and pats saying they will blowout the steelers. These same people are the first ones to complain and they complain the loudest when it doesn't go the way they expect. The steelers have played in Buffalo 2 seasons in a row and they are a northeast team so the Home Field weather element is gone but hopefully the crowd noise will be a huge factor....even at that though they run the ball so much that it will negate the crowd if they are gaining 4 or more yards a carry. This game scares me to death. The Bills running game has progressively leveled off over the last few weeks and the steelers have the guys to stop the run. I imagine this is going to be alot like the Denver game earlier in the year. They are going to run a ton, take shots when they are on the plus side of the field and get a man to man look and they are going to dare allen to throw the ball. Unlike Denver I think they can stay back and still stop the run. I feel like this is a 17-13 or 20-17 type game. Listening to everyone talk about a blowout and an easy win is going to make my brain go crazy this week. 4 1 1 1 Quote

This Bills team seems tougher than it used to be .,, they can try to punch them in the mouth …( likely without Watt) … But I think the Bills will stand up this time … Josh is going to make mistakes …. just part of the experience… 2 Quote
Thrivefourfive Posted January 9 Posted January 9 This game should be fireworks. The Steelers can’t win that game. If it’s a grind, the Steelers have a chance, and the Bills can win a slugfest, but if they turn up the offense, that’s the clear mismatch in this one. 1 Quote

LeGOATski Posted January 9 Posted January 9 8 hours ago, PetermansRedemption said: Too bad we don’t have a dome. Inclement weather always favors the lesser team by leveling the playing field a bit. Just have to hope it doesn’t get too bad and the Bills crush the Steelers as they should. There's nothing to support this notion. It's all in your head. Quote
