    There is also quite a bit of talk about the Bills facing a depleted Steelers team .     A lot of the Steelers fans are confident the results will be different with their key players back.

    I mean they may not be wrong to think that...those are a lot of critical injuries they got hit with.  But you play a team when you play them.  We were missing John Brown, who seemed to be critical to our offensive success early in the year but the Bills figured out how to still make the offense go when he has been out now...

     

    You are almost never going to be facing a team completely healthy, so unless you are playing in week 1 and have no training camp/pre-season injuries, this really doesn't mean much.

    Bud Dupree and Devin Bush aren't walking through the door. Would Haden and Spillane and Williams have swung the game to the Steelers? Maybe, but I'm doubtful.

    Meanwhile, their offense entered the game quite healthy, and the Bills defense shut it down.

     

    Other than their O-Line issues.

    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.

     

    The Bills used exactly this scenario to cruise into the playoffs last year...

  3. This was the play where Wallace almost got a pick 6...Big Ben was looking for Claypool but White pancaked him at the LOS and put him on his @ss and basically held him down on the ground...just a great, aggressive play against the short passes...

     

    Claypool has been tearing it up but was almost non-existent in yesterday's game except for a few short catches.

    But Allen had the clutch gene and was a gamer. Lock doesn't really have that.

     

    Lock has the "I will do everything in my power to give you this game" gene like he did in the Dolphin game, but they managed to hold on to win in spite of him.

    Denver D is actually pretty good.

    Drew Lock is inconsistent at best. 

     

    Lock is Allen in his rookie season...leads NFL in Y/Att, very high bad throw % and very low OnTarget%. Bills D will likely make him look very poor.

    Oh, we did some dancing all right.  This is on the sideline, after the 2nd pick with 7:17 left in the game.

     

     

     

    During warmup.  And he posted it on TikTok right away, just in case anyone missed it.

     

    I bet Taron Johnson was "crunk" when he picked a pass intended for Juju and ran it back.

     

    Bills were dancing on Big Ben's grave hahaha

  7. One thing that was lost in all of this....what was Allen doing starting his slide before the first down near the end of the game?  He could have easily ran a few more yards as there was nobody near him to ensure he got it, but they ended up marking him just short and it turned into a 3rd and 1 play which they converted with a run to Moss, but in a closer game, that could have been an issue...as soon as I saw him start sliding, I was like "WTF are you doing?!?!?"...but it all worked out and didn't cost them.

     

    Also...the fact this is what I am talking about after this game shows how damn good this team is...they don't leave you with a lot to really complain about hahahaha 🤣🤣

    My baker's dozen random game thoughts after a sleepless night:

     

    1.  It was the worst of times, it was the best of times.  What a difference between the first half and second half for the offense.

    2.  Gabe Davis seemingly makes a big play every week.  Nice TD grab.  Almost got a big one on the sideline when Josh threw it under duress.

    3.  Taron Johnson had the play of the game.  Going into halftime with a lead after struggling to move the ball was such an enormous turn of events.

    4.  Levi got beat badly on his TD.  He guessed corner and Washington went post.  So it was nice when Levi got that interception.  Took us to see the replay why the Bills coming out of commercial were on the 20 and not the 50.  Announcers never bothered to tell us he must have been ruled down by contact.

    5.  Second time this year I remember them imploding a bit on a drive at the goal line.  First and goal and a TFL.  Second and goal a penalty backing them up.  The FG was all that was needed, but punching it in for a TD would have been necessary against a team like KC or GB.

    6.  Pittsburgh is a physical team.  I figured we would lose players.  So color me surprised that most of the attrition was on their side of the field last night.  They now know what it feels like to play the Buffalo Bills.  Taron Johnson getting concussed was really unfortunate for that kid.  He was playing real good at the slot CB.

    7.  Defense, defense, defense.  Could you imagine what it would have been like to be at that game?  Sitting on your hands and watching the 3 and outs.  Cheering on the defense and then watching 2 drives in the 3rd quarter (what I call the nightmare quarter) all the while stifling the Pittsburgh offense.  

    8.  Running the ball that last drive while Roethlisberger could only wait, watch and hope was something rarely scene this year.  Ah no, you ain't getting it back.

    9.  The 3rd and 11 completion to Knox.  Whoa Baby..  So, so, so satisfying.

    10. Williams neutralizing TJ Watt was my first star of the game.  He quietly turned in his best game of the season tonight.  Hope there was some recognition in the locker room for him afterwards.  

    11.  I was so happy to see Diggs get a TD.  He does a lot of the hard work and others get the glory.  That was a motivated guy out there last night.

    12.  Bills had 36 total yards at the end of the first quarter.  Shows you how dominate they were in the second half.

    13.  I think the NFL saw in the space of 6 days enough  of the Bills to believe they are now in the conversation for a good post season team.  And if that wasn't enough, Buffalo has two more prime time games.  Open the tailgate to the Bills bandwagon.  Lot's of folks will be jumping on now.  With the NO and Pittsburgh losses, the top 4 in the NFL are now:  KC, GB, Buf and NO.

     

    4) I don't think he got beat badly as much as the Steelers used film study and tendencies against him on that play.  Collinsworth spoke very detailed about why the play worked so well because Washington based on the split that he took almost telegraphed that he was running a corner route due to there being so much space to the outside. Collinsworth specifically said you almost never see a post from that position and that is why Wallace was expecting the corner. Said it was a great play design to trick them.

    Does anyone know why the ball was placed where it was after the Wallace interception? He was finally tackled at the 50 but when they came back from commercial the ball was back at our 30. Was there a penalty? Did they say he was touched down? And while I’m on it...is anyone else totally annoyed with the Directors of these telecasts? They switch cameras so often it’s impossible to focus on anything. And their relentless pursuit of close up shots of players and coaches faces, while not showing the sideline angle until one second before the snap has me screaming at the TV every week!

     

    They briefly mentioned something about being down by contact I thought

    Miami's D scares me the most. Not only are they just good, but they seem to be that team this year that is getting plenty of lucky bounces and tipped balls go their way on top of it. I'm sure some of that is good coaching as well, so hats off to Flores.

     

    They don't scare me at all.  Allen has had some of his best games against that Dolphin D.

  11. Bills beat Seahawks who were 6-1 at the time by 10 and beat the Steelers tonight by 11...

     

    Stats By STATS (@StatsBySTATS) Tweeted:
    In Week 9, the @BuffaloBills beat the 6-1 Seahawks by 10.
    Tonight they beat the 11-1 Steelers by 11.

    They are the only team since the merger to have double-digit wins against two different undefeated or one-loss teams in Week 9 or later in the same season.
