The Bills are going to get stomped in this game. I'm expecting sideline implosions - players screaming at each other and possibly a coaches' shoving match or two.

I would like to disagree with you, but I think the team is shell shocked by what happened in Oakland, and it would seem unlikely they will be able to muster the confidence and cohesion they will need to play at a high level this week. Could be wrong of course. Rex may be able to motivate them this week, but it would be a tall order.

That'd be more entertaining than the last game.

If at the very beginning of the season you told me we had to beat one of OAK and PIT, split with MIA and NY and beat CLE to get in, I'd take it. I know its not a sure thing to get in at 10-6 but it looks more than possible.

 

This team is flawed, but they all are. Tyrod has deficiencies, so does the D. Lets get in anyway!

Tomlin's 3 takes hit on Ben, Deebo & more

A look at 3 hot topics Coach Mike Tomlin is talking about.

 

A thinking man: Ross Cockrell continues to impress in the secondary, taking on a tough assignment each week, from covering the likes of Odell Beckham Jr. to A.J. Green. It’s a task he hasn’t minded, especially in a young secondary that includes rookie cornerback Artie Burns, and Tomlin isn’t surprised by his success.

 

“We really liked him in the draft, liked his skill set,” said Tomlin. “Liked his approach to play. Thought he had a very cerebral game and that has proven to be true. We are thankful he was available to us. He has been a consistent performer for us and one that has been consistently on the rise. We have challenged him in ways that maybe aren’t fair to him. Oftentimes we treat him as a much more seasoned player than he is in what we ask him to do. He has a great attitude in terms of accepting those challenges and equally important his play has been solid.”

I forget - what was the story of how he moved on from the Bills (or how the Bills moved on from him)

I want to say he last a season but then missed the 53 the next

Rex should be coaching for his job this game. Or at least his scheme.

I don't think either is the case.... his boss said he believes in continuity and no owner who is a rational businessman starts telling his football guy how to do X's and O's.

 

I'm thinking 8-8 this year and 7-9 to 8-8 the next. Then he might be in the hot seat.

Please tell me why I should care. Season is over. All the coaches and GM would do is to make excuses. There are so many things that are wrong with this team. But I don't expect them to change next year because upper management people are getting in the way of change. Hopeful the Pegulas are smart enough to correct the situation. Whaley should be a football scout. Rex should ne a coordinator. Tyrod should be a backup QB. But in this twisted reality we are in, they become in the position they are in. We feel so powerless. As fans, week after week we have to watch what they put on the field. What kind of losers are we to think it is ok to be bad? Why are we doing these game preparation thing for these meaningless games. Don't we have better things to do?

Here are my five takes on #Bills-#Steelers. At [bN] Blitz: https://t.co/1kzrFcH6p1

Here are my five takes on the Buffalo Bills' game against the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday at New Era Field:

 

1. Marcell Dareus and Kyle Williams must be dominant in the middle of the defense.

2. The secondary has to play well for an entire game.

3. The pass rush needs to get home.

4. LeSean McCoy has to carry the offense once again.

5. Tyrod Taylor can't have another meltdown.
