BuffaloBillsForever Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I have seen some improvement in the Bills defense the last 4-5 weeks most notably the pass rush but they still can't stop the run for the life of them. Peterson is a physical, bruising back with speed when he gets around the tackles. I can see him putting up 200+ yards next week. Hopefully we can bank on Favre making some bone headed decisions and get Stevie involved early in the game. Go Bills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dayman Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 We give up career games or at least season highs to roughly half of the opposing RBs we face so yea he could dominate. God knows Kelsay can't tackle a 40 year old Favre so they may air it out a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you one of those guys who said Pittsburgh was gonna blow us out? If you actually read my post there is nowhere I said the vikings will blow away the bills.

Kelly the Dog Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 The Steelers ran all over us and still only scored 16 points in regulation. And 3 points in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillsForever Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 (edited) Peterson will be playing this week. The Steelers ran all over us and still only scored 16 points in regulation. And 3 points in the second half. Excactly. Putting up a lot of yards running doesn't mean one team blowing another away when it comes to the final score. Its only one step/advantage to winning a game.

CodeMonkey Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 (edited) The Steelers ran all over us and still only scored 16 points in regulation. And 3 points in the second half. Yeah and they switch to a pass centric offense in the 2nd half. Still scratching my head over that halftime "adjustment". Another interesting stat: Penalties Steelers: 10-107 Bills: 4-20 10 freaking penalties, and big ones too! That was what put the Bills in a position to win in my opinion. For once you don't see many people complaining about the officiating, and for good reason! Edited November 29, 2010 by CodeMonkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillsForever Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 The Bills where actually tackling on first contact in the second half which was the main difference. However, late in the 4th quarter and the final drive in overtime, the Steelers ran the ball with ease like in the first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Peterson will be playing this week. did you see that somewhere? I heard he said his ankle pain was "unbearable" and he has an mri for today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiderweb Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 AP sprained his ankle yesterday, so we may not have to face hiim That's a big hope, not that he's hurt badly, but just enough that he won't be able to go this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 The Bills are kind of defying the odds. Usually when you get grossly outrushed, the team loses big. I think it's happened against KC, Pitts and maybe even Baltimore...and the Bills were right in it till the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 (edited) The Steelers ran all over us and still only scored 16 points in regulation. And 3 points in the second half. A simple, yet outstanding point that seems to be lost on many. If Johnson catches the overtime TD pass, imagine being a running back with 151 yards on the ground, and a loss.
