Logic

I'd trade him for Mahomes and that's it. That's the whole list.

JUST a few half-ass kicks? I stand corrected. Sign him at once!

He recently re-signed an extension with the Browns, and he once punched a lady on camera. So no.

Fair. But at the same time, the Bills were also missing a starting offensive lineman and their WR2. I guess we'll never know how differently things would have gone if the Steelers were healthier. Perhaps we'll get a rematch in the playoffs and things will be different.

Absolutely. Drew Lock, to me, is like rookie-season Josh Allen right now. That is the exact type of quarterback on which the Bills defense usually feasts. I've said it before: bad to middling quarterbacks don't usually beat the McDermott era Bills. They just don't.

Bud Dupree and Devin Bush aren't walking through the door. Would Haden and Spillane and Williams have swung the game to the Steelers? Maybe, but I'm doubtful. Meanwhile, their offense entered the game quite healthy, and the Bills defense shut it down.

I normally like to go to the opposing team's forum after a win and read what the opposition's fans have to say about things. I could only spend about two minutes on the Steelers forums, though. It was just too sad. I have never seen so much pessimism, fatalism, and trash talking about one's own team -- when they are 11-2. ELEVEN AND TWO! They have a better record than the Bills by one game, and yet if you read the two teams' forums, it's night and day. And I don't just buy the "Steelers have a high standard for success" talk. A lot of the comments I saw from Steelers fans were as harsh about their team as the Jets fans are about THEIR team. It's nuts. I had to leave Steelers-land quicker than I thought I would. Too depressing/baffling.

I'm typically very cautious with any Bills-related optimism, HOWEVER... I find it hard to believe that the Bills are going to lose to a Broncos team missing its top four cornerbacks and quarterbacked by the very up-and-down Drew Lock. It's hard to look at the matchups -- Bills defense vs Broncos offense, Bills offense vs Broncos defense, McDermott vs Fangio -- and not think that they all favor Buffalo. I know, I know...any given Sunday. But the Bills players know that a win on Saturday wins them the AFC East, and as such, they are going to be supremely motivated. They don't seem like the type to take any opponent lightly. The Bills are simply a better team than the Broncos in every facet, and I think they win handily.

With AJ Bouye and now Duke Dawson out due to injury, the Broncos are really thin at cornerback. The Bills are beating the Broncos next week, with or without the highly overrated Melvin Gordon.

Same. I truly did not know it was legal to just....TACKLE THE WR AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE! 😯

Same. I pretty much just watch these things now in order to see/hear The Cole Beasley Show

Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills really just beat the #1defense in the league, in December, in prime time. The Bills beat the Steelers on Sunday Night Football in back to back Decembers in huge games. This is a new era of Bills football.

Taron Johnson swung that game. Josh and Daboll has the perfect second half adjustments. Levi Wallace slammed the door shut. Diggs....is just different.

The Bills didn’t run the ball on 1st down tonight. They must’ve read your advice 😉

Man...I’m just blown away. Back to back huge wins in primetime. The way this offense responded in the second half. The fact that the Bills closed out the win with a 7:11 drive. 😮 I had my Pancho Power shirt on tonight and let out a “Viva Los Bills!” before the game. Wish Pancho could see this team now. ❤️

Putting a scarf and a hat on the statue? The nerve!

I'm not sure how PFF defines "pressured", but the chart pictured was made using the 16 highest rated teams in defensive EPA per play, as provided by rbsdm.com.

This chart is absolutely, positively bananas. 😳 Oh, and this:

Good point. I'm curious to know how good the Steelers' nickel back (Mike Hilton, I believe?) is. I think a big part of Beasley's success against the 49ers is that they were down to their third or fourth string nickel. In any case, given that the Steelers defense leads the league in sacks, I hope Daboll has a good screen and quick-game audible package dialed up.

This would be a really good week to have a healthy John Brown. I read that the Steelers defense does a really good job clogging up the middle of the field and making it a dangerous area to throw into -- but consequently, the areas outside the hashes are where to attack them most effectively. That being the case, it certainly helps that Joe Haden will miss the game. Diggs should have his opportunities. In my estimation, this may be a week of tough sledding for Cole Beasley, and we may need Gabriel Davis to step up.

I'm seeing a lot of "we need to establish the run" talk regarding this game, and I can certainly understand that -- especially with the Steelers down a few linebackers. HOWEVER...I can't help but wonder if this will be another opportunity to sling the rock all over the yard. I saw on Cover 1 this morning that the Steelers defense has faced the MOST empty sets of any defense in the league, and have surrendered the most yardage against that set. Knowing how much Allen and Daboll love empty sets any way, it might be just what the doctor ordered. It would help Josh ID what the defense is doing and would help keep the Steelers from employing some of their most exotic blitz packages.

First off, Tre'Davious White is the most clutch CB in football. Between his third down success and his leading the league in 2nd half interceptions since 2017, he's just a playmaker when the defense needs it most. But secondly...look at Joe Haden! The Steelers won't have one of the league's best 3rd down CBs this week -- going against an offense that leads the league in 3rd down conversion percentage. Combined with their health woes at linebacker, that's huge!

So basically.... Every "hit" they've had can be chalked up to "luck", but they are absolutely to blame for every "miss"? Got it. Talk about "excessive bloviation!"

This was already stated within this thread, but here's the official Steelers report for the "link?" folks:
