I don't see that change from Joe. Still very sensible. He's always been ultra low on picking Bills or big wins. Guess he wants to maintain cred in that locked on group. Does not want to seem like a homer.

A lot of talking heads saying this is must win for Pittsburgh... I'm not so sure. They have the four spot right now. Baltimore is going to lose more games too. I don't really see it as oh so urgent for Pittsburgh, especially how crappy Baltimore looks.

Alec is nails . He's tough as hell and we will be fine. As much as I loved Davis's runback, he hasn't been dynamic as a receiver or as a runner. I think this off-season we really need to upgrade the rb2. Johnson has been fine and gotten back into form. He's a good Rb in the committee.

Was 27 first down to 7

I think it's totally fair of fans to not feel good about this game and a feel down on the bills. That being said, my gut tells me they're going to have some surprise scrappy performance.

I will say if we can pull this off it will be a good solid win. In Pittsburgh with both our tackles out. Pittsburgh isn't a terrible team. They beat the colts and have taken some good teams to the wire.

Palmer has been just as disappointing as Keon. In fact worse.

I thought both teams looked bad. Huck it deep to chase was the only viable play. Burrow looked off and slow. Lamar was God awful. Careless w football. Not serious. Joking and I really wonder about him. How many turnovers did they end up with? 5-6?

Why no.lil John show? Lamar doesn't look serious.

Good old NBC no replay on a head scratcher penalty.

I've never been able to root for the Bengals since Burrow came around.

Meant 6

I think v is a better left tackle than right tackle. But I think w/ grabel the thought is a better potential starting left tackle and higher ceiling as LT. Plus V is much more experienced. He's still a better RT than Grabel. Either way I'm cool with these guys playing. They are both pretty solid. I would also mix in in Alex Anderson.

Dak is en Fuego.

Monster drive there...Tony is right

Beane should have gotten him

Pickens is a fun player.

Bills won't do this but... I would go 5 lineman more and focus on physical and tough. Run the damn ball.

Am I crazy that the adjustment on PI there is unprecedented? That's not even generally a reviewable aspect of a call.

Yet how often is this the case for 70 catch receivers we bring in? Brady pigeon holes guys in his simplistic offense.

I'm going to have a crazy hot take and it's that difference this year is mainly turnover related ( i.e not getting them and us committing them) AND Josh not taking short easy completions trusting YAC. We fix both those we will be fine, warts and all. That being said not saying Brady and WRs are not suckin.

I didn't think vested players hit waivers

I just think we sneak into the playoffs. probably take 2-3 more losses. Best case (or worst case seeing how you see it) we win 1 WC game. Team is just too flawed. Deeply flawed. We've got positives too...but we thought the oline was one of them....not so sure. No one will get fired till after the season. Brady will still get some new job, whether its something like Tulane vs Penn State remains to be seen. He will move on.

While we are talking Beane and bum deals let's mention Knox. One of the single worst contracts in the NFL. Also Bosa has been a huge non factor since the injury.

I will say that we can nickel and dime the play calling all we want. There is truth to problems there, but the big problem is turnovers. You can't win consistently with three turnovers per game. The fact we did it in a victory last week makes it even worse. I could say something like we needs to get back to fundamentals but it is just a killer that we say again and again. I don't know if we're ever going to with this crew.
