For real. Bad gameplan? Sure. However, the unforgivable for me are: - After Allen and Brown got hurt, still continue to run only 5 man protection scheme. - Not pull a clearly inured Spencer Brown the minute he had to play with one arm.

This! I can predict the plays with how they line up. If I can do it, anyone can.

But this article indicates that this is how Josh wants to play, so he has some blame here too.

Someday, we're going to hear that the Bills are killing it........that day is not today though and tomorrow's not looking good either.

Love this! I remember that flu game and defending Bruce, who had a fever of I think 105? It was something like that -- extremely high. He couldn't play football much less maneuver himself around a hospital in a wheelchair in that condition. I remember Cornelius Bennett saying afterward that Smith was EXTREMELY sick and that the critics had no idea how bad that flu was.

I think that he’s a 1st team all-pro with JSN if the season ended today

Get Allen back on schedule 90% of the time. This scramble stuff is fun occasionally, but not sustainable long term when it's 50% of your offense by indirect design.

Nope Quack. You joined August of 2022 and changed to your current handle in August of 2023. August 16, 2023 redtail hawk > Joe Ferguson forever

Outstanding response!

You could make an excellent case that Pickens is the second best WR in the NFL…I would imagine that Steelers fans aren’t super thrilled…

Like this? OR: 😆 Hey Les!😆

It's coming, bro........fans will be coming out of the woodwork to hire this guy or that guy, whoever got fired that week.

My pats fan friends are alarmed about this turn of events. One pointed out that Lowe was the worst LT in the league last year and looked it again yesterday.

yikes.

I had a similar experience when I got turf toe from playing basketball daily on a gym court that had an odd, carpet-like floor rather than traditional hardwood. "Wow, this actually pretty painful. No wonder players miss time when they have it!"

I fully expect to hear Hairston had a lobotomy over the weekend and benford has a mystery injury today.

No accounting for style nowadays. Seems majority of Mens casual wear is pretty much “dungarees”, sneakers, baseball caps and shirts representing sports.

Do you hate Canada?

"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.............."

Gotta say, the whole approach of "rely on Josh to make the free rusher miss and then manufacture a play" seems like a pretty unsustainable approach. I feel like we saw this vs. Atlanta and early on in the Tampa game too.

I don't think he was suggesting we bring him in, just that fired OC = a QB stat. But this is funny nonetheless.

The 2025 version of George Pickens would be, inarguably, the 2nd best player on the Bills behind Josh. He’s on pace for 104/1629/12. For perspective, that would be the best year a Bills WR ever had.

I can't stand Brady because of his last name and now you're suggesting we bring in a guy named Canada?!?...........my head is ready to explode, man.

Steelers have really struggled against teams with a balanced run/passing attack --- unfortunately, that's not what we have going on right now. And they are very good at forcing turnovers, generating pressure with their front 4. And their run game/short passing game is very efficient. Basically, reminds me of playing that Patriots the way they spread the ball to many different targets and use their TEs and RBs in the passing game. I wouldn't consider this a "must win" quite yet, but if we lose then next week against Cincy is a must win. Josh/Brady/OL need to step up like they did against KC, hopefully Kincaid is back this week. Injury-wise: Steelers - Rodgers will be back and I'd expect Highsmith might return with his Pec injury (he got 2 LPs last week before being listed as doubtful). Joey Porter left with a hip injury and did not return, if he's out then Darius Slay gets the start opposite James Pierre. DK was hobbled with an ankle and had to leave the game 2x, but returned and finished the game, I'd expect he plays but isn't 100%. Bills --- way too many injuries right now. Spencer and Bernard are definitely out this week per McD (week to week, potentially IR). Max is in the concussion protocol, with 10 days to clear, hopefully he'll be ready. Biggest concern is on the DL, especially DE. AJE was dinged up with a neck but finished and Bosa is not himself with the wrist (speculation he might require surgery). TJ Sanders is being wasted at DE, we need a legit 4th DE to rotate in and unfortunately Solomon is too weak to hold up there against the run. I'd expect we place Bernard or Spencer on IR and promote Fox, and sign another DE to the P/S. We already have 1 roster spot open, I'd expect Gabe is promoted to the 53 as well. Steelers are +6 on the turnover differential at Home this season, 3-0 when winning the turnover differential. Bills are -2 turnover differential on the Road this season, and 0-3 when losing the turnover battle. To me, this is a simple formula. Win/play neutral with the turnover battle and set the tone with energy/urgency on both sides. Steelers are the definition of a fringe playoff team, with a 6-5 record and games remaining against us, 2x Ravens, Dolphins, @ Lions, and @ Browns - they likely lose 1 against Bmore and against Detroit at minimum - they will be treating this as a must-win/playoff game. We need to match that energy.

I don't think it is the trainer or methods of recovery - it really speaks back to the coach/GM bias to target undersized defenders to meet their bias towards stopping the pass. I think in 2-3 years we'll be complaining about the plodding slow defense we'll end up with as the pendulum swings the other direction. But we'll have less injuries!
