Sure you do. As a fan of the Fish, what else can you think?

OP actually took the time to start this thread. That’s something.

Playoff Josh is a different animal altogether. This is a Pittsburgh defense that thrives off turnovers, and the national (and sometimes local) narrative on Josh is that he’s a turnover machine (often without proper context). To play that sort of game with those stakes and come away with four total TDs and no turnovers tells me Josh is locked in and is going to do everything in his power to get the job done without being reckless. Oh, how the fans of the Fish must watch this and know in their depraved hearts they will continue to play second fiddle in the AFC East as long as Josh is playing…

Get lost troll.

Hey, they’ll always have this:

This is the best possible game for Rapp and Douglas to miss. Pittsburgh won't throw it more than 15 times. Everybody thinks the bad weather helps the Steelers soooo much. It doesn't. It actually takes away the one element of their game that could surprise -- the passing game.

The fear from Pittsburgh in this matchup was always about the passing game. If there was any concern it was that Pickens and Johnson had gotten some chemistry with Rudolph and would run around and make big plays for the Steelers. The weather removes that one little bit of "worry" I had because everybody knows Pittsburgh has to try and run the ball. It will be low scoring and I don't think the Steelers put more than 10 points on the board. 23-10 sounds about right. Go Bills!!! 15-6, Babyyyyyyyyy!!!

I still can't believe all of the worrying in this thread. The fear from Pittsburgh in this matchup was always about the passing game.

I’m sure you’ll get some bites from the other negative ninnies on the board, but I’d prefer to focus on, and am excited about, what’s ahead of us on the football field.

So delete one! Or better yet, delete them both and we can talk about the offseason when it’s actually the offseason!

What, the first thread wasn’t enough and you needed to start two? Geez, @Herb…

The way it should be.

Buy: Dawson Knox. Dude almost always gets a TD at home in the playoffs. (I also love the Fournette pick here) Sell: Long downfield passes and empty backfield sets in this weather. Need to present the appearance we could run. I do trust Josh's arm to make those intermediate throws on a rope. Hold: Cook. I understand the concerns but I think he could be good in bad weather. Dome talk: nonsense. The new stadium has SOTA wind confusion technology!

Just put Beane's record up against the other 31 GMs and you realize how good he is. Nobody is right all the time in this game, and if you're right half the time you look like a genius. It's so easy to cherry-pick the good and the bad, but compare the overall product and you understand how lucky we are to have him.

What? Cook is top 5 yards from scrimmage and Kincaid just set a TE catch record for the Bills. If those aren’t “difference makers” what exactly are you looking for?

Congrats!

Nice reading comprehension, doofus.

In college Baker would have been thrown out of the game.

...ok, so first of all, we KNOW Josh should have only thrown the ball to a guy in the endzone or thrown it away. That was a mistake. But if you get past that, it was a good throw to an open guy and it looked like Johnson was going to score until Baker blew him up with a helmet to helmet hit at the goal line. Why no flag there? It was blatant and knocked Johnson out of the game with a concussion.

That's what she said.

After the first Bills-Fish game he met McD at midfield and told him "I respect the !@#$ out of you." Who does that?

Some people just like to watch the world burn…

It was magical.

I remember

Fantastic comment. Well said.
