Success

That's a pretty tough article. I think that writer is wrong. But I'm biased.

If it's closer to 20 - that really ain't too bad. The wind is the only thing that concerns me. Snow wouldn't be bad, as long as it's not like the Pats/Jets game.

Allen has been going high. He picks up more ground when he goes low. The last one the other night was tough - he put himself in a position where it was hard for any other players to give him a push. And a little nudge was all that was needed there.

If Douglas can't play, I kind of hope they can get Elam back into the mix a little bit. Though, Jackson played great last week too.

We'll stack the box too - and do it w/ more confidence. No matter what the conditions, the Steelers will have to defend the pass. They have a better running game & line, but it's not night & day. We're playing the Pittsburgh Steelers. This is not a very good team. We couldn't have hoped for a better draw. Weather or no, this game shouldn't be that close.

I think wind favors the Bills. Rudolph has a strong enough arm - but I've never seen anyone throw in the wind like Allen. Anyone remember the strike to Diggs in the EZ in the Pat/wind game? I think that was over 40 yards, and he put it right on Diggs hands. And, fortunately, the Bills have a run game now. We can run on anyone if we have to.

Wasn't the 2nd INT yesterday more of the back foot one? Watching that replay, that one didn't bother me a bit. If he throws it away there, Miami gets better field position. The 1st INT was weird - seemed like more of a miscommunication w/ the WR, but that was more on JA (imo).

Allen has what you want in a franchise QB (aside from ridiculous talent): a short memory. That 1st half would have wrecked the confidence of so many QB's. But Allen keeps slinging.

Dane may be the best tackler on the team. He had a few important ones last night, including the 3rd down where Berrios caught it just a few short inches from the marker and he kept him from getting the 1st.

THIS is where getting to 6-6 and having to fight & claw every single game to get to this point will pay some dividends. This team has gotten used to the season being on the brink for over a month now. They have learned all of the ins & outs of high-pressure situations, and how to handle them. I have a hunch this might be the secret sauce that's been missing from our previous playoff appearances. I think we're poised for a big run.

I'd encourage anyone to go to the 1st half game thread, and look at the posts from around the 30's to the end of the thread. It wasn't measured, "warranted" criticism. It was ridicule. Fans here made him sound like a clown.

The comments in the 1st half were unbelievably ridiculous. Allen was getting mocked. Fans here were saying they didn't want him as Bills QB anymore. They have to own that.

1 yard for the 4th division title in a row.

And Josh Allen says to everyone who doubted him and even mocked him earlier...are you not entertained?

This isn't the fanbase I thought it was. The mocking of Allen is.....stupefying. He has had some bad throws. We would not be in the game, and wouldn't still have a great chance to win, without him. It's actually kind of sickening.

Is Elam active?

Yeah, we could have done that w/ Losman, Edwards, Orton, Taylor, et al. I'm so thoroughly disgusted by the comments about Allen on this thread. Many here do not deserve how good this guy is.

Huh?

I shouldn't come on here during games like this. Pretty disgusted by the reactions here.

Well, it's out there now. You said it.

Huh?

Watching these games - there is so much bad coaching in the league. I started a thread saying that I wanted to move on from McD - it was either after Philly or Denver. But I was wrong. He's a very solid coach, and that's good to have in this league.

We should raise funds to send Nick a banner that is just a pic of him w/ a clown nose.

Tyrod Taylor might be one of my favorite NFL players. He's had some bad breaks, but never seems to complain, and when he gets his chances, he's all in. Just shows up & plays hard.

I swear - whenever anyone says "book it," or "mark my words" - go w/ the opposite.....
