the how so is you need the BACK END to hold up to a cover 0...and you need to run a lot of man defense. The steelers dont have either of that. I expect them to run their usual zone coverages (defenses Josh and the Offense have done well against) but also adding in some LB/slot blitzes. Way different than what the ravens/pats did to us.

not every team can execute the Book that the Ravens and NE put out there though. In fact, they are likely the only two teams in the league who CAN execute it.

that is a MIGHTY tall ask friend

without Conner, now with Conner. They have also gotten better schematically and statistically in their run game recently (sure, opponents have something to do with it). 140 last game, 124 before that, 160 before that...add in Conner, Pouncey back...yea I am worried about their run game more so than their passing attack. And we have been much better against the run since adding Liuget, so yea...I do think we need him in the lineup.

curious, why?

Really hope they are just being cautious with Liuget, we will really need him this week to stop the Steelers rushing attack.

I dont mind playing KC. Their D isnt good at all. They have a potent offense, but our defense has shown we can minimize opponents strengths. Id rather play a weak D with a good offensive team than a great D ANY DAY in the playoffs.

if they lose to the dolphins tiebreakers wont matter because we ARE beating the Patriots so we will win the division outright and wont need tie breakers

We havent scouted Higgins at all apparently. I dont love that.

they hold tie breaker over us, we need to have a better record outright

I think we go to Gilette and beat down the Patriots. But we still need help to win the division, need the Pats to lose to the Bengals or Dolphins still for the dream to come true. upsets happen every week in the NFL

Allen has started less than two full seasons, and is on an offense with 9 new starters. He learns every single week. I agree we should handle the Jets with our starters in, and injury risk is minimal because he wont have to do much. So you play him, and all the other offensive starters. At least for a half if there is nothing on the line.

I dont get your reference because I dont care about the new jersey devils however, while I dont think the Patriots will lose to either the bengals or the dolphins, its any given sunday in the NFL and I wouldnt at all be surprised. The Patriots offense sucks, crazy things happen. I can dream that the division dream isnt dead.

we cant afford to rest starters on offense. they need all the practice they can get.

I dont care if they miss the playoffs like this article details, I just want them to lose to either bengals or dolphins and us win out...take the friggin division and get a home playoff game!!!

yea its ok to be wrong though buddy! ya just gotta own it, you thought the Bills would be definitely favored over the Steelers...which is nuts considering they are pretty even teams defensively and the bettors hate the bills offense (for good reason) and the Steelers are at home, and thats not how Vegas works haha. They have a nice winning streak because they have played nobodies...Duck isnt good. Mason wasnt good. Heck yea we should beat them, and heck yea im gonna win some money!!!

Im optimistic!! I just felt that we were gonna smash and dominate the broncos - first game all season I felt that way. And I just felt they were gonna do the same to the Cowboys. Thought we could hang with the Ravens but would lose a close one. So my nastradamus self will go ahead and say we take care of business Sunday night. Agreed. GET OPTIMISTIC!! We can play with any team in this league, and can win in a lot of ways. Cannot wait for the playoffs (especially on a three game winning streak).

Jets, Dallas, Denver....those are real defenses. Josh led us to wins against those defenses. Or are those not real enough? Gotta be one of the top 2 defenses (NE/Balt) who are some of the only defenses capable of running cover 0 against QBs to fit that narrative?

what on earth are you talking about? Why am I "off the bandwagon"? Because im pointing out your wrong about a betting line? Im as "all in" on this Bills team as you can possibly be, I firmly believe we are super bowl contenders. What does that have to do with this conversation?

We have a little bit better defense and a better offense.

doesnt matter. If my aunt had nuts shed by my uncle...he was wrong about the line and an asshat while discussing it, so im serving him up his crow

hey @BuffaloSol remember when you wrote this a few backs... BuffaloSol Rookie Members 135 356 posts I completely disagree that the Bills will be an underdog to the Mason Rudolph led Steelers. That's why I am "lol"ing, not sure why you didn't catch that. How did this age? Love the snark of "not sure why you didnt catch that" too...

he hurt his ankle, likely limited his mobility

He was not good on the long ball last year, he just hit a couple so people remember those. This has been a career problem for him. Love the kid, think hes the franchise QB weve been waiting for, but that is an area he needs to somehow figure out.

Literally yesterday lol. Knox made a helluva one armed catch while being interfered with. Agreed our TEs didnt play well yesterday outside of that one catch by Knox, otherwise he had a particularly bad day.
