dollars 2 donuts Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I'm actually more curious about what the Bills record would be if some of the guys doing the predictions were always correct. In other words, there has got to be one of them out there that would have us at 0-9, so far. That's when ya go, "Really? REALLY?! So, every single week you think this team is unworthy of winning a game and is that bad?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Sorry ... allow me to elaborate. It is silly for a non-Bills-fan to think that a (3-6) team, who has lost 3 of its last 4, AND has a rookie QB, AND said rookie QB hasn't played in a game since Oct. 3, AND going against one of the greatest defensive minds in the history of the game, AND playing on the road - in Pittsburgh no less .... it's purely silly for that person to think the Bills will walk away victorious. The Bills, as C.B. stated above, are playing better football than the Steelers. A win would definitely not surprise me ... but I'm a Bills fan. I'm simply stating that it's a pretty ballsy pick to pick the road team, the team with the rusty rookie QB and the team who hasn't played one "complete" football game since week 2 - to beat the Steelers at home. Go Bills! All fair points. I still expect a Bills blowout. I just don't see much room for improvement by Pittsburgh in time for Sunday to stop our rushing attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumbalaya Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 That's a good thing. We play better disrespected. If this were true we'd be 16-0 every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All_Pro_Bills Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I like the Bills chances and expect a win but they are playing a QB on the road that has the ability and track record to make those 2 or 3 big plays in the game (like escaping a sack, rolling out, and hitting a receiver down field for a big gain when all seems lost) that seem to beat us. For all the improvement with this years Bills they still make too big miscues on offense and allow too many big plays (20+ yards) on defense.

Rubes Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) Big Ben threw for a lot of yards. But didn't the Steeers get shellacked 55-31? The Steelers tied it up 24-24 in the 3rd quarter. By the start of the 4th quarter, it was a 3-point game with the Pats* ahead, 27-24. The shellacking occurred pretty much just in the 4th quarter.

Big C Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 We may not have the same offensive prowess as the Patriots, but I think we have a far better defense (especially with the injuries they've had the last few weeks). So while we may not put up 55, we also won't give up 31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 The Steelers tied it up 24-24 in the 3rd quarter. By the start of the 4th quarter, it was a 3-point game with the Pats* ahead, 27-24. The shellacking occurred pretty much just in the 4th quarter. From my vantage point it seemed that NE wore down the Pitt D with their running game in the 4th (even put in LaGarrette Blount at the end and Pitt was too tired to bring him down). Then they just attacked them in the passing game once they couldn't stop the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question was over under 1.5 wins between Jacksonville and Tampa bay combined rest of the way. Willbon went over, giving both the Bucs and Jags wins against the Bills.....now that is some disrespect LOL Surprised no one on here is going bat chit crazy ....or maybe I am only one who still watchescPTI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 If people think this is going to be an easy game they are way mistaken......we will still be going into someone elses house after their defense got embarrised with a starting rookie QB This is not a gimmie...the bills are going to have to show up and take it.

I do not think he has watched the Bills at all this year, however. BTW PTI is one of my favorite shows of all time.

Jauronimo Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Which makes it about even since home team automatically get 3 points. Exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingant Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I guess we deserve it with a 3-6 record but PIT is even worse! Most other sites are mixed in their picks. Bleacher Report actually has 9 out of 12 picking the Bills. But ESPN has a clean sweep for the Steelers.

Glennon is playing decent ball right now so they are probably a better team than their record says. Jacksonville is woefully bad however. Chad Henne is their best player right now. thats really sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
