That doesn't negate the fact that Allen, the Oline, special teams, and played poorly. As well as he Bills staff got serverly outcoached.
We would have said the same thing about the 2019 game, Allen threw a pick, Singletary fumbled the ball a couple of times (lost one I think) and we got stoned at the goal line after the Tre White pick. Barely walked out of there with a win. If Big Ben would have played that game I don’t think we do tbh.
Could say the same thing about the 2020 game. Knox fumbled and gave Pittsburgh great field position. We were doing nothing in that first half. They scored off that fumble and we looked lost. Except we did what they did to us and after the pick 6 had a hot couple of scoring drives in the second half and put the game out of reach.
If we’d lost any of those games we would be saying the same things we are now, except we’re not because we won.

Its also game 1, of a 17 game season. I recall NE also having numerous shaky starts to various seasons as September was used as an extended preseason and everyone would be saying the sky is falling, Brady is washed up, NE looks like trash bla bla bla and then boom, they're hoisting the Lombardi in Feb...again.
I'ma chill, get my eats and drinks sorted for Sunday and hope the Bills squish the fish.

The Bills will adjust. Other teams' fans like to say things like "the Steelers just gave the league the blueprint on how to beat the Bills," but as the article mentions, that won't be easy for most defenses to do. At the end of the season, we may look back on Pittsburgh as one of the best defenses that we played.
I think its a blueprint for now, but if Allen as proved anything it's that he self scouts really well. When he was a rookie he was awful under pressure and against the blitz. Fast forward to late 2019 and 2020, Allen became one of the best QBs under pressure, blitzing him was always a mistake and he was awesome against man coverage. Now defenses are playing a more zone based concept against our offense and it works as long as you have a line that can generate consistent pressure with just 4 and your backend holds up (which is much easier said than done, not a ton of defenses are that well built to pull it off).
The team preaches relentless improvement, and I'm sure McDermott, Allen and Daboll are reviewing the tape and looking at offensive concepts that can better mitigate that style of defensive play.

Just no, the Steeler's play us tough and its been that way for the last 3 years. We came out with a W twice, and this time we didn't.
Football is a game of inches, and against the Steeler's that's especially true.

It was a tight game that was blown open by a blocked punt. Last season it was a tight game blown open by a pick 6. The season before it was a tight game, a 22 yard punt and tre pick gave buffalo field position for buffalo to score - and it still took buffalo stopping duck hodges twice in the last 5 minutes and 2 redzone picks to win that game.
I just look at it like its two teams that are fairly well matched in what they try to do. Our weakness meets their strength and vice versa.
Thank you, feel like everyone here talking doom and gloom (guilty of that a little myself) forgets that the last two times we played Pittsburgh it was a dogfight pretty much the whole game. We played a tight game again, except this time the chips fell the other way.

I see we're just yelling names now, I have one too: Zach Ertz!
Did I do it right?

All contenders need their QB to play great to win against other playoff teams.
We go as far as Josh goes. Just like KC goes as far as Mahomes goes. Just like Tampa was trash until they got Brady.
Did you see how Green Bay fared when Rodgers struggled?
Yeah, but really great teams are able to overcome a bad QB day, issues with the gameplan or add a wrinkle to force a defense to adjust. Pittsburgh kept playing the same D all game, daring us to prove we could beat it and we just refused to try anything different. The chunk plays were not there, the line wasn't holding long enough to let routes develop and the coverage too deep to provide enough soft spots in the zone to led Allen drop in passes. However those short passes to Beasley between the numbers were always there for an easy 4-6 yards. I don't know why we didn't just play small ball to force the coverage closer to the LOS and maybe force them into more man concepts to open up deeper shots.

Teams figure you out in this league.
Did you watch the last two games?
Truth, we needed otherwordly Josh against the Colts and the game against Bmore was weird because of the weather. Against KC we got totally exposed. The gameplan against Josh and our offense isn't complicated. Play contain with front 4, flood the zones and let your defensive backs make a play or rush 4 and hope your backend holds up while one of your rushers gets home for a sack/hurry/pressure. If you can do either of those two things you can throw our offense out of rhythm.
We saw it plain as day in KC and it was evident against Pittsburgh as well.

The ending of this game was bonkers lol. Zay Jones for the game winning TD hahaha.

I could GAF if the Bills undeservedly squeaked into the playoffs and then subsequently won each of their games on the back of ticky tack calls and lucky bounces. If they won the super bowl 19-18 on a last second prayer field goal or insane trick play or whatever I would still not GAF.
I win is a win is a win. The only thing most people would remember is that the Bills won, and not how they won.

All offseason long, the genius offensive coordinator has been saying the Bills won't do that and they're going to run it like they did last season, but "hopefully" more effectively when they do..
I just don't get it, you have a team rushing 4 and getting home against a bad line and spreading their backend defenders out clogging the WRs routes. Its basically a bright flashing neon sign saying "RUN THE BALL", "THROW A SCREEN", "FAST PASS TO HOT ROUTE". Josh needed a couple of series of plays where they play small ball and force defenders into the box and near the LOS to expect the short pass or run play. They did none of that, you can't keep hoping for 3-4 seconds of a clean pocket to hit an open guy if your line is playing like ***** and their front 4 is getting in Allen's grill every play. Hand off, get the ball out quickly. Force defenders forward, which will open the deep lanes.
Also Moss being a healthy scratch yesterday was Daboll just trying to outsmart himself. Their line and front 7 is ferocious and you bench your best pass pro RB? Wtf.

I just don't get the insistence on 4-5 wide all game. Teams with a good backfield are just going to play contain with their front 4 and flood the zone with their CBs, safeties and lbs. Teams with good lines are just going to pin their ears back and pass rush knowing the play is gonna be a pass, hoping the back can hold up long enough to get someone home and sack Allen.
We need a balanced attack, or at least the semblance/illusion of a balanced attack. The Steeler's played a great game defensively and basically dared us to run the ball or throw a screen away from the line and we did none of those things. You're not going to get those slow developing 20-25 chunk plays if the other team's line knows its gonna be a pass and is just going to rush the passer every down.

That…was not what I would have done.

Made pizza dough and sauce yesterday. Got dry brined wings air drying in the fridge from last night. All ready to bust out some homemade pies, wings and a solid assortment of craft brews ahead of kickoff.
-
Got a bottle. Not sure if I’ll ever open it. Have it mostly as a collectors item along with Josh’s cereals and his wing & bbq sauces. Still need to find the blue cheese.
Just psyched we’re good again to have stuff like this.

How in the hell of all that is holy are fried wings not gluten free? Ya'll eating breaded wings? Wtf that's gross, that's just a bony nugget.

Eh, we beat them last year without him. Hope he recovers quickly, but we've traditionally been weak up the middle with or without him. At this point I don't know if its personnel or scheme anymore.

Nope that was IND the next week.. at home lol
We were actually playing the Chargers, that was the game that Ingram basically wrapped Allen up who proceeded to drag Ingram sideways for 5-7 yards and still got the throw off...it was unfortunately intercepted.

He has to cover ground for 32 teams every year and the better teams with better records have more difficult things to roast/make fun of. We were easy pickings when we were mired in mediocrity. It’s a pretty consistent theme through his write ups. The front 9 for all the ***** teams are typically pretty good. The back half slacks off as the material dries up.
Ya’ll should read the NE and Jets ones. Some good chuckles there.

If we win it all this year and it involves beating Marcia in the big dance man that's just icing on the cake.
Buffalo will be torched to the ground, its going to make the Philly post super bowl win celebration look like a 3 year old's bounce house b-day party by comparison.

They have a young, inexperienced offensive line. I like our chances with our DL. Steelers could counter with small ball, dump offs and swing passes, which was a lot of their offense last year because they couldn't run the ball and BB is not a threat to escape the pocket under pressure anymore.
Their NCB situation is also suspect, our better WR corps, Knox and DS should have a good day over the middle with quick developing curl/stick and slant routes assuming we can neutralize their LBs and suck them forward/freeze them with play action.
I doubt they try to blitz much and will try and get pressure with their front 4, Allen proved last year that blitzing him was almost always a mistake. That being said their dline is still pretty solid and Heyward, Ingram and Watt can be quite disruptive. They'll also have Bush back from a torn ACL last year and their LBs and Safeties are solid on paper.
I think we pull this one out in the end to something like 24-17 or 28-20, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if we spent the first quarter punting back and forth as both teams feel each other out and we try to find the soft spot in their defense to exploit.
