  1. I’ve ripped the Packers and their FO for being overrated in the past for always drafting defense in the 1st-Round and waiting forever on WR.

     

    But the past two seasons their skill players seemingly have all hit:

     

    Watson

    Doubs

    Wicks

    Reed

    Melton

    Musgrave

    Kraft

     

    Our WR depth chart virtually bottoms out after Diggs and Shakir. 

  2. I don’t know any Dolphins fans or check out Fins Haven.

     

    So really the Dolphins aren’t some arch rival for me.

     

    I was alive for Kelly and Marino, but I don’t have the 1970’s like older fans do.

     

    But to partake some, it is nice that Lebatard and Stugotz can sit front row and watch their team fall apart after the countless potshots they’ve taken at the Bills and Allen.

    Agreed.  SF is really the only team that I would say strikes fear in me. That team is built for a title - strong lines on both sides, great running game & WR's, well coached.  It's the one team I feel like we'd need some breaks against.

     

    The Ravens are formidable, but I see that as more of an even match-up.

     

    Every other team is pretty flawed and beatable.

     

    Big thing is try to get these players healthy in order:

     

    1. Douglas

    2. Dodson

    3. Rapp

    4. Gabe 

     

    They were 95% of their opening day roster going into Miami.

    I think that’s fair though.  We were under the assumption that we’d have to play the Steelers in a game where all of our advantages were taken away due to weather.. weather so extreme that it isn’t even football anymore. 
     

    However, we were offered the opportunity to play today in ideal conditions.  We lobbied to play tomorrow in wind/cold, but nothing that should truly affect us. 
     

    The league gave us the ok to change the playoff schedule.. not just this week, but basically ensuring we must play KC, if we win, on Sunday (which they’d probably do anyway) but this now affects, potentially, two weeks of their scheduling.  
     

    No excuses.  

    I’m not scared of any of these teams.

     

    Move the game, don’t move the game, it doesn’t matter.

     

    If we lose, we lose. But I’m not bowing down to anyone.

    Pretty indicative of this thread. I too couldn't listen to wgr much the last few days because of weather talk. That and all the mason Rudolph fear. 

    Yeah, WGR shortchanged all their listeners this week.

     

    Nothing but hanging out with Andrew Fillipponi, and mostly listening to Schopp and Bulldog complain about how the whole season was going to be ruined. 

     

    Had to love Sal Capaccio coming on there with less injury information than people on this board, talking about how the Steelers may not even attempt to throw to George Pickens.

     

    Thanks for that analysis Sal. Just like your the Dolphins might sit everyone last week nonsense.

    I wouldn’t say it favors them, because we can run our QB.. but it probably makes it a coin flip game if passing is almost taken out of the equation. 
     

    Not sure Cook is an ideal RB for this game, but we shall see.  I hope he makes me eat crow because ever since Dallas, I haven’t been impressed with him at all. 

    Our defensive line has to create havoc. That's really what this comes down to. 

     

    Where are we healthy? In both trenches. 

     

    Activate Joseph and throw big bodies up the middle. 

     

    I am worried about the Bills loyalty to Von Miller.

    I would counter that when McDermott can make a team one-dimensional, he’s usually very effective.

     

    I’d go back to the Ravens Playoff game where they were the team with the run game advantage but couldn’t really do much of anything.

     

    That being said.. if we struggle to score, all it takes is a turnover in a bad spot or missed gap and we’re chasing them.  
     

    We also are a middling run defense because McD prioritizes defending the pass.   There really isn’t a reason a DL consisting of Joseph, Oliver, Jones, Rousseau, Floyd and Lawson shouldn’t be dominant against the run if they want to be. ….but they’re going to have to be, especially if Dodson can’t go. 
     

    I think we all know this is a huge advantage for the Steelers if the conditions severely limit our passing attack.   

    Well, with Gabe and Rapp ruled out, I think the Bills have the freedom to not scratch Linval Joseph. So not saying the rush defense is all on him, but he's another big body to throw in there. 

     

    Also, if either/both Douglas and Dodson are declared out, I wonder if Kingsley Jonathan is also made available. That way you have your entire defensive line available. 

     

    Alec Anderson, Latavius Murray, Gabe Davis, Taylor Rapp, Rasul Douglas, Tyrel Dodson

    Went from having a clean report for Miami to having half our guys on the list for the playoffs. ugh.

    Yeah I thought the same thing.

     

    Against Miami they had all 22 starters from opening day (counting Douglas as better than White) except Milano.
