A Few Thoughts about the Steelers Game - Community Edition
oldmanfan replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall
Define a complete game. Yesterday the defense completely shut down the Steelers. The offense dominated and held the ball for 42 minutes, dominating a Steelers defense prone to the run. The only thing that wasn’t complete was the one missed extra point. Or does a complete game mean you have to throw a ball X number of times even if you are killing the other team running the ball. Let’s switch it around and say you have the same kind of defensive performance, but the offense throws all day because the opposing defense has a weak back 7. Would that be a complete victory, or would we have had to run more. You play to win the game. This time of year do what you have to, run, pass, both. Doesn’t matter to me. -
A Few Thoughts about the Steelers Game - Community Edition

Point # 5 is just silly IMHO. Brady has not done well the past couple games but he was spot on yesterday. He found a weakness in that the Steelers couldn’t handle the run and exploited it. -
Game week thread - Bengals at Bills (flexed to 1pm ET)
oldmanfan replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall
We have to cut out the dumb mistakes. Even yesterday the 2 turnovers, the false starts, and Epenesa’s idiotic penalty could have cost us. Play solid football and we should impose our will against them. -
Good God, just stop will you? Can’t you enjoy a victory for even 24 hours without getting your panties in a bunch? I have been critical of Brady the last several weeks and when they threw that idiot screen thing to Shakir early I was screaming at the TV. But give credit for yesterday: he knew we had backup tackles in, he saw the Steelers were vulnerable to the run, and he exploited it. It doesn’t mean they have to run for 250 yards a game to win. Get over yourself. We have a week to week season now. Cincy’s defense hasn’t played well, let’s see how he schemes for that. They have Cooks now, they have Gabe who has always had good rapport with Josh, get Palmer back, Shakir of course. He’ll even Coleman caught a TD pass yesterday. Kincaid should be back, and they have 3 RB that can be effective in the pass game. Sure Brady sucked against Houston. But he was pretty damn smart yesterday. And it’s OK to enjoy that.

Beane needs his credit for oline depth ...
oldmanfan replied to Kelly to Allen's topic in The Stadium Wall
Both. Beane brings them in, Kromer coaches them up. -
Possible but unlikely.

Jones seems to be regressing to the mean

Around the League - Week 13 (no Bills stuff in this thread please)
oldmanfan replied to Simon's topic in The Stadium Wall
Broncos #22 just showed what’s wrong with defense these days. Just throw a shoulder at the guy, no attempt to actually tackle, and the result is a TD -
Brady did well today. He found something the Steelers could not stop and hammered them with it. I swear some here would rather they had tried to throw the ball all day and lose.

Agree with the Rams but the Eagles are falling apart

It’s go time. Defense has to step up, tackle better, and get the run game slowed down. Rogers doesn’t scare me at all. Offense has to protect better, the backup tackles need to step up, and Brady needs to earn his paycheck this week.

Black Friday Game Thread (no Bills stuff please)
oldmanfan replied to ryguy101's topic in The Stadium Wall
Bears are for real -
Gabe Davis signed to the 53, Curtis Samuel placed on IR
oldmanfan replied to BillsFanForever19's topic in The Stadium Wall
Not much you can do when a guy gets hurt all the time. Release him in the off-season and save $$. -
It sucks, but the backups have to step up on the O line. We’re OK at LB and WR. And if Palmer and Kincaid can play that will help. Brady needs to call a good game and he and Josh have to be quicker at in game adjustment
-
Yeah, better yet let’s just forfeit.

Vandemark and Anderson at tackles? Time to step up boys.
