A big NFL footballl game for the Buffalo Bills, for me, a fan that started watching in 2005? National TV, when the last Sunday night game I watched was 56-10 vs NE? Yes, the NFL is terrifying, I can barely eat on Sundays and this is the biggest game of my fanhood in a city we haven't won in since before I was born, against a defense capable of making our polarizing QB look horrible and lose us the game It's absolutely terrifying as they all will be (sans the Jets game if we don't need it) until next September Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it depends on what happens in the Pats games. If the Pats lose to just us then we are the 5th seed. The same as we would be if we just beat Pittsburgh. If the Pats also lose to either Miami or Cinci then the Bills would win the division and be the 3rd seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a game we should win. I think our offense is actually much better than theirs. I see this game similar to the bills/ravens game where the steelers just can't do anything offensively and the bills win by a touchdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that Singletary has the potential for a big game against them? They're solid against the run too, but inthinknour best chance is to get Singletary (or maybe Yeldon is active this week) in routes against mark barron or their rookie Devin Bush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 The only one I feel strongly we will win is the Jets game. But I don’t think we *wont* win the other two, I just see them as tough tasks. I don’t think I’ll survive to see it though if we lose these next two.

TheBrownBear Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Pittsburgh has been damn good since their blowout loss against the Pats on opening night. Very narrow losses to Seattle, SF and Baltimore. Otherwise, the only hiccup has been the infamous Myles Garrett game. Also, Duck Hodges is the real deal and can hurt us with his feet and arm. This is going to be one tough game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) I am so pumped for this game! More hyped than nervous. I would hope that if we want this team to be a serious contender in the playoffs we can go into Pittsburgh and take care of business. Because once in we are going to be playing a bunch of Qbs much more experienced and dangerous than Duck. We are also going to have to win on the road in the playoffs. I think we have a few things going for us. We have played better on the road. Just went toe to toe with Baltimore. We are hungry after a loss and Mcd will keep the players focused on 1-0. We seem to tighten up the loose ends after a loss and I fully expect the offense to get back on track. I really think Pittsburg is a lot like Denver in a way and this game sets up like it. we have already played some teams loaded with talent on the offensive side of the ball. So even if Conner and Schuster are back we find a way to contain. If we don’t beat ourselves we win this. I think our roster overall is better. I will be really concerned losing the next two and then having to beat the Jets to squeak in. Not sure what that would say about our chances this year.

Georgia Bill Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 13 hours ago, Dont Stop Billeiving said: Per the Buffalo news, "Baltimore is blitzing an NFL-high 53.4% of pass plays through 13 games...Pittsburgh is blitzing on 36.5% of pass plays this season, according to Pro Football Focus." Also, "In the three-game win streak against Miami, Denver and Dallas, the Bills had showed progress against pressure. Those teams blitzed Allen at a combined 30% rate, and Allen went 17 of 23 for 209 yards with two TDs, no interceptions and a 130.5 rating, according to News charts." Denver and Dallas have elite pass rushers, but we limited them effectively. Baltimore plays Cover-0 and blitzes more than any team in the league and we struggled (the Pats and the Browns also blitz very frequently and efficiently too so that's 3 of our 4 losses right there). As I mentioned earlier in the thread, I believe the Steelers are more similar to Denver/Dallas than the Ravens which should make this an easier match up in theory. Plus they play zone rather than the press man coverage the Ravens rely on. Pittsburgh has a great defense and pass rush, but a lot of people are giving them too much respect on here. Our offense should actually match up pretty well with them and play well as long as we clean up the mistakes from this past week. https://buffalonews.com/2019/12/09/josh-allen-blitz-rate-baltimore-ravens-completion-percentage-analysis/ If you're suggesting that Pittsburgh blitzes less than Baltimore so that somehow helps us, keep in mind Pittsburgh is watching the Bills-Ravens tapes. They've seen how effective the blitzes were. They are going to be getting after Allen, trying to rattle his cage and prevent him from getting any rhythm. He is going to have to find a way to make much quicker reads and get the ball out in a hurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, the Bills will need to do what they did against Miami, Denver and Dallas in getting the run game working with short passes. Let Allen gain some confidence with those short passes.

Not sure what that would say about our chances this year. If the Bills lose the next two and beat the Jets , they won’t be squeaking in. They’ll be in with a 10-6 record. It also won’t say much about their chances that we don’t already know. The Bills will have a good chance with their stout ( and portable) defense on the road in the wildcard round as they won’t be facing a Ravens/ Pats/ Steelers style ( or caliber) defense in all likelihood. After that, it will get a lot tougher if they pull the first round upset. It will take a superior coaching job on offense as well as another excellent defensive performance to win in the divisional round. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
