An "8" is where I am at. Confident for sure, but preparation, consistency, and smart football is even more important in playoff games.

 

What makes it less than a 10?  Tomlin is consistently prepared, and he got 10 wins in a tougher division with Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph.

 

Steelers aren't nearly as talented. With that said, Steelers are a well-run franchise.

 

Respect the Steelers. Still, we are going to win today.

 

Go Bills!

I'd say I'm at a 6.5.  With the wind still projected to be bad, it doesn't seem like a great passing day.  I still believe we have the better overall team, but this is the type of game where fundamentals are key, to which I do believe the Steelers are more disciplined than us. 

 

As for home field advantage, I'm not sure what to expect.  Like KC last night, I expect there to be a lot of empty seats.  There were a lot of seats available, and who knows which fans those went to.  Also, Pittsburgh is as prepared for these conditions as anyone in the league.  

 

Also, I absolutely hate when EVERYONE picks the Bills to win.  

 

Even still, we have Josh and I like him running the ball  and making plays to squeeze out a win.  Cook needs to protect the ball and Fournette just needs to keep it consistent.  

 

I believe we should win and think we will.  But, and maybe it's the BBFS in me, I'm also very much prepared for a loss.  
 

**Update** Winds are projected at 10-15mph for the game.   I’m sticking with my ratio 


it’s the Bills man. Confident they should win and terrified they won’t.

Never feel good about a game that matters 😅

 

It's weird.  When I was a kid watching the 90's Bills, I never got nervous in the playoffs.

Always extremely confident the Bills would win.

 

I had the exact same confidence in this Bills team until about mid-way through last season.  I can't really pinpoint the moment, but it was around the Vikings game that things suddenly flipped and my brain.  I started getting nervous before even regular season games, and fearing the worst.

Because when you were young, you had your whole life in front of you and surely the Bills would win one sooner or later. Then it was at some point during last season that it dawned on all of us that this Josh Allen-led team might not win one after all. For me, this happened a week earlier after the Jets game. My dad died in June and he was a fan since the first AFL season. He never got to see one.  I think that is the fear that all of us have.

I'm meh.  We play down to the level of competition and have played flat some of late. Definitely flat against Cincinnati last year.

 

I am hoping that with the weather delay etc. They aren't flat today or we are 1 and done.

My only concern is our skill position players ability to catch and hold onto the ball in this cold. Other than that, about a 9. Steelers just don't belong here.

I was at the snowy Bengals loss last season. After watching Joe Mixon seemingly run 5-6 yards per attempt I cant help but be concerned Najee Harris can’t do something similar. That being said I think we figure it out and get the job done. 
 

Anyone have thoughts on why this won’t be like the Bengals game where we are dominated physically?

The Bills have a much more physical defense this year than last year. No team has dominated the Bills physically this year and it happened a bunch last year.

Depends on which Bills show up the Bills who beat KC and Dallas or the Bills that somehow managed to lose to the Pats Jets, Broncos and barely got by the Jints. 

Just going by chronological order, it should he the former

DaQuan Jones wasn't on the field
