    Gonna be a ***** show around the stadium when it comes to parking. OP got another foot overnight. Presumably a good percentage of the private lots won't be open, so people arriving early to park in their usual non-official spots are going to find themselves in one big traffic jam.

     

    OP police and the Bills are advising people to not show up too early.

    Is tailgating cancelled?

    I never understood ‘house money’…at some point the Steelers have to rise above pretty good fringe playoff team or they are going to have to make changes 

     

    idk what it is about Tomlin but this ‘his team is bad and he has them overachieving’ shtick has worn off on me the last few years.  A guy that has coached a team for 20 nearly years should be shooting for more than just ‘happy to be there’ 

    I think Tomlin gets much respect for his two SB rings. One was with Ben the other as an assistant coach. Right or wrong when you win a Lombardi as a coach it elevates your status. In short, you kind of get the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes their coaching skills aren't inflated. I think Mike McCarthy is a good example of that. 

     

    Another factor is having a franchise QB. When a coach has an elite QB expectations are elevated pretty quickly. There is a different kind of pressure on the coach. I think Sean McDermott is a good example here. 

     

    With that being said, Tomlin doesn't have a QB. He should take a hit for drafting Pickett because he's not franchise. Not sure he's even serviceable. Nevertheless, he has his team in the playoffs and arguably played in the toughest division the league. I don't think many thought Pitt would make the playoffs. 

     

    IMHO, the Steelers have over achieved. No one is expecting them to beat the Bills. Truthfully, all the pressure is on Buffalo. I think the Packer and Cowboy game is a good example here.

     

    Hopefully, the Bills can play well and beat them today.

    learn to read. Where did I say that? The cowboys were not good during the season on the road against good teams. let me ask you: Do you think the Bills lose to the Steelers? 
     

    You seem hell bent on trashing this team. Why are you even here? 

    I've gone back and forth on who wins. I've changed my mind a few times. It's always been a close game either way. 

     

    Right now, I think the Bills win. They are at home with a much better QB. I think both offenses will struggle and it will be a low scoring game.

    The Packers and Texans were playing with "house money". They weren't really expected to win. Hope the Bills play that way. After week 12, they weren't expected to make the playoffs. 

    Isn't Pitt playing with house money?

     Cowboys battle tested? Really? They can’t win on the road against a good team. One and done in the playoffs. 
     

    Joe Flacco was battle tested 19 years ago FFS. Please don’t compare this Bills squad to either. 

    Ok. Good to know. 

    What road playoff wins have the Bills won?

    Yup, let’s do. Please tally all of your posts….No need to over think, just group them by positive or negative. 
     

    Judging by this thread alone, you strongly lean negative. So, as insightful you think that you are, it’s mostly whoa is the Bills and anyone with a point to the contrary is misled with optimism.

    Way to skirt the issue. If you are going to call me out you have to be more effective than that. 

     

    I gave an alternative point of view which was factually correct. What was incorrect about what I said? 

     

    Instead, you go on a rant and personally attack me. It's all good though. 

     

    Go Bills.

    Where did I say they have a winning playoff record? They made the playoffs almost every year under McD and were robbed in one game against the Texans and lost a heartbreaker to the eventual champs. Besides Josh having 2 perfect back to back playoffs games as well.
     

    I said they’re battle tested and they are. 

    The Cowboys were battle tested too and the Packers weren't.

     

    Joe Flacco was battle tested and CJ Stroud wasn't.

    Big difference between the Bills and the Flacco led browns and the cowgirls. 
    geez you guys. Relax. The Bills are a good playoff team with the exception of last year which we all know carried  a lot of baggage. I’m not guaranteeing a win I’m just saying that those games have nothing to do with this Bills team. Battle tested. Playoff experienced. Win in different ways (ST, pass, run, defence)

    Battle tested McD team is 4-5 in the playoffs which is a 44% win percentage. Moreover, the last two years of playoff games ended really poorly. 

     

    I'm not saying the Bills are going to lose.

     

    Appreciate the optimism but let's paint a clear picture here.

    Offense was clicking against Miami if you take away the redzone turnovers.

    But you can't disregard the turnovers. 

     

    Also, one could say the Chiefs offense was clicking yesterday except for when they hit into the red zone. 

     

    It doesn't work like that though.

    I think OL is pretty even. Chiefs better G-C-G but the Bills tackles are definitely better. 

     

    Sounds weird because Spencer Brown has been so bad in the past. The guy certainly stepped up his game. Not a lot of fans really have given him his flowers.
