I see nobody answered your question but 1 example sticks out to me. The Ravens fired Cam Cameron in december and hired jim caldwell to be their oc the year they won the super bowl. 2 1 Quote

Will be great to send them packing Was in Pitt a few days this week for work. And previously lived there full time. Yes, they are cocky, entitled, and believe every sports season will result in a ring or a cup. 1 Quote

While Allen can be coerced into turning the ball over, so can the heralded Mahomes, and the Bills are widely accepted to be an objectively better (and definitely more dangerous/explosive) team/offense so far in 2023/24. The turnovers are the entire argument here, and it's objectively thin and subjectively selective. "I don't care...that the (Chiefs) running back room is full of a bunch of guys you never heard of." - WTF? Pacheco and Edwards-Helaire are pretty well-known. Weird. He leads off with repeated suggestions that fearing the Bills more than the Chiefs correlates to **gasp** using THC (or sniffing glue). Pretty out of touch, although Pittsburgh fans in general are pretty conservative. It's all Mahomes worship, mostly, and while the author couches some of his criticisms towards Allen, he does offer this nugget: "It is probably too strong to say [Allen] is a prototypical “million-dollar talent, ten-cent head” player, but that isn’t too far off." 2 Quote

I mean if Pittsburgh punts 7 times in the game and they get Allen to throw an INT or 2 but we punt once, who really won the "turnover battle"? I'd argue we did and that this old school way of thinking about turnovers is very incomplete and without better context, virtually meaningless. 2 1 1 Quote

Josh's interception on 4th down vs. the Dolphins netted +15 yards than turnover on downs. 1 1 Quote
Since1981 Posted January 10 Posted January 10 (edited) The concept of punting vs long INT, and 4th down has dramatically changed in just a couple years. I’m not sure the entire NFL fan base and chatter heads has caught up. josh 4th down: Snow plow 1 yd run for 4 yds INT 50 yd “punt” Some QBs and times past would never do this. They’d just PUNT. Our Unicorn. Thankfully coach understands and isn’t full of Malarky-punt Edited January 10 by Since1981 1 Quote
Buffalo Super Fan Posted January 10 Posted January 10 The Buffalo Bills should win this game at home over the Pittsburgh Steelers in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo Quote

Billsatlastin2018 Posted January 10 Posted January 10 What I believe. * The Bills should win this one handily,at home v.s. a so so Squealer team. However, the line is -10 and moving up. I am concerned less about the snow, than the wind. There could be a goofy Turnover resulting in a TD. It will be low scoring. Possible, that the final score could be between 7 & 10. * The Bills will finally slay all their imaginary dragons by beating the not so good as before Chiefs by 10. Line will be Bills -3.5. * The Bills will beat the Cleveland Browns at home by 6in the AFCCG. This will be a back and forth thriller, requiring some Unicorn runs and wild TD Passes. * The Bills will win their first Lombardi, beating the 49ers by a FG, a high scoring shootout. 4 1 Quote

I am kind of dumb with this stuff? When you say the line is moving up, does that mean The Bills are being favored by even more points, or less? Also, I agree about the wind. The wind is the biggest hassle of all. I am still scarred by the Bengals game last year. I felt like the sloppy weather didn't help, but who knows, maybe they roll over us in better conditions as well. Quote
