Been playing some heavy hitters and showing up. Here's a bit from Mike sando's weekly roundup on "The Athletic" The Bills have a really good record against highly ranked defenses. With the Bills facing the Steelers, I went through their games during Allen’s nearly three seasons as the starter to see how they’ve fared against top defenses in general. Each defense from 2018, 2019 and 2020 was ranked No. 1 through No. 32 in EPA per game, with games against Buffalo excluded from the calculations to avoid biasing the rankings. The Allen-led Bills are 7-3 against top-five defenses over the past three seasons, including 4-0 this season after beating the Los Angeles Rams (No. 1), Steelers (No. 2), Miami Dolphins (No. 4) and San Francisco 49ers (No. 5). Allen had 14 touchdown passes with two interceptions and four total turnovers in those games. He averaged 8.9 yards per pass attempt, 0.39 EPA per attempt and 335 yards per game against those teams, with a 121.8 passer rating. After neither offense accomplished much in the first half Sunday, Allen completed 14 of 20 passes for 162 yards and two touchdowns to close out the Steelers, twice converting on longer than third-and-10. .....

right and they were one and done. also i'd have to back and look but i doubt our slate of qb's was anything as bad as the luxury schedule PITT has had. They have face a startling amount of backups.

pretending certain strengths or weaknesses, such as facing a full slate of backup qb's, doesnt play a larger role than other factors is silly. they arent all weighted the same. i get it though. i live around a ton of "stiller" fans and they've been doing the mental gymnastics after every lackluster game vs a backup qb to convince themselves they were as good as their record. so this convo is nothing i'm not used to.

Look at that list of qb's i put up and act like it hasnt been a huge factor in your teams win/loss totals? seriously man. The steelers have been a good team. they have also had the sorriest slate of teams to play that i can remember. That list of qb's is horrid. They are literally drawing backup qb's almost on a weekly basis. You can pretend thats not a huge factor, but you would be wrong.

He and Chris simms are my favorites for different reasons. But i love them both.

jones-garbage driscal-backup wentz-backup gilbert-backup lutton-backup burrow-rookie griffin/mcsorely-backup smith-backup LOOK AT THAT LIST. they've played 4 solid qb's, watson, mayfield, tanny, jackson. darnold newton mullens herbert-rookie, but a top ten offense. i'll let you have him though. now lets look at the others we've played Fitz-win goff-win carr-win tanny mahomes murray wilson-win Ben-win you can go ahead and sit down, please. your team has played the sorriest list of qb's in recent memory.

His "progress" coming coming off a 2019 in which his trajectory was evident is expected. Maybe not quite to this degree, but it wasnt a stretch for plenty of people around here that he'd be a top ten qb you didnt see it. thats on you.

solid points.... you dont have to worry too much though. you get to go back to playing yet another backup qb this week. so that'll be business as usual there.

i noticed it in the chiefs game as well. i remember thinking it didnt used to work like that. Used to be offsetting no matter the magnitude of either penalty

it was their 3rd in 12 days... but its still a dumb gripe. its happened a ton in the past. Any team that plays 2 straight sundays and then a thursday plays 3 in 12. its a non issue.

Bosa/Waller

ya see.... i disagree with that. i think he started that slide passed where they marked it. but i havnt seen it slowed down

Brandts "Buffalo..... You beautiful bastards".... Classic.

Hahaha. Fair enough.

1st team all pro last year and led the league in int. they had him at 19.... I you can do is chuckle. I’m serious when I say I don’t know that’s there’s a corner that’s more clutch than white since he’s entered the league. He has swayed so many games since 2017

“Did you see how Allen let his arm get hit by Hayward and cause that int? McDermott is obviously racist for not pulling him out on the spot”

I’m ok with him. He needs to be upgraded but there’s a lot of teams feeling the same way about CB#2. There’s bigger problems on the team for sure

So Kim Jones bringing up good points.... watt held sackless. How about Daryl frickin Williams!

Well I grew up around all of them and every text I’ve gotten tonight is a sarcastic remark about how we should won by more because of injuries... to which I replied with “whatever. Bend over and take your spanking” ... growing up in “stiller” country, that Big Ben pick six was one of the most satisfying plays I’ve ever had as a fan

You ready for some smoke?

.... we’ve now gone 2 quarters without a defensive score. This will not stand! .... we break that drought this coming week!

Is it just me or if Allen misses a couple passes high early, you know it’s gonna be a roller coaster ride all night long?

YES!!! But how’s bass gonna do me like that.

Just here to remind everyone this defense hasn’t scored in 47 games. ENDS TONIGHT!!!

I’d hope not. They’ve won 5 of 6 before playing an 11-1 squad and will still have a one game lead in the East. It’s a very losable, or winnable, game.
