njbuff Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 The Bills might have felt they BACKED into the playoffs in 2017. This is their chance to EARN a playoff spot (then work from there) in 2019. We should hope that the motivation and preparation should be thru the roof for Sunday night. And in turn, this is probably the most excited this fan base has been for a game in a long time. I hope that at 11:40 Sunday night we are all happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah for sure, they’ve been crushing it. I would say that they’ve been an even better fantasy defense than in real life. I don’t like starting guys against the Bills if I can help it though (primarily because I don’t want anyone to play well against us and also because Bills games are stressful enough as it is!). But since I can’t buy another defense, happy to provide a reverse jinx and help the Bills out!! ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Man how nice would it be if NE losses to Bengals earlier in the day then Buffalo goes and Beats Pittsburgh. That will make Next Sunday against NE for the Division Lead and the 2 seed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Bills win Sunday night I have a feeling many of us will be dragging at work the next day. I know I will be to pumped to go to bed at 11:40 if the Bills win. Have to watch the post game show, go on the internet. Monday at work I will be like those people in those energy drink commercials who are falling asleep at their desk at 2:30 during a work day. That will definitely be me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlbillsfan1975 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Anyone else worried this could be the best 2 DE we have seen all year? I really hope Daboll figures out a blocking scheme with Bobby Johnson that doesn’t include leaving a TE alone on an edge rusher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 2 hours ago, Coach Tuesday said: That, and you need to spread out the defenders. If they try to go heavy with the max protect and bunch formations like they did last week, we'll likely see much of the same results. I can't help wondering if at this point, it may be a benefit to Josh to understand that he only has 5 guys blocking and he better make quick reads and quick decisions vs. having a "max protect" scheme that may or may not be able to correctly diagnose who they're supposed to block, or actually block if they do 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also do not think that the Steelers have the CBs to be able to do what the Ravens did. I dont know but reading through this thread and the other Pittsburgh threads but I seem to be in the minority thinking we are not going to have ANY trouble in this game. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Morse locker room from yesterday after practice https://www.buffalobills.com/video/mitch-morse-we-ll-have-to-grow-as-a-team I hope he plays fiercer and more engaged than he interviews. Although maybe he's honest and a realist, realizing that some of the stuff that went down last Sunday is not something you can fix in a week with the same players and fixing some of it is all you can do. The only time he showed a bit of emotion was when a reporter asked him about Josh Allen tripping over him and it going down as a sack, and he said "if you trip him, there's a reason why you're back there" (ie he still has blame) and (in a tone of disgust) "I'm worried about winning games and not getting my guy hit and not how many sacks I have at the end of the year".

We have good personnel for those. At the risk of sounding like a broken record - there were times the quick plays were there for Josh last Sunday, and he chose to trust his protections and go for a bigger play. So I wonder if it isn't a benefit to him right now to know "hey, you have to take the quick shot, any rusher >5 is YOURS" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) Their thread on this Game if you want to take a read, there are the Normal Allen accuracy will turn it over, and they played a soft schedule stuff. But some nice points too. Also interesting that they have this hug Nation Wide fanbase but their thread about this game is 4 pages http://thesteelersfans.com/forums/threads/steelers-vs-bills.23545/ First Post Bill defense will make it nearly impossible to move the ball. I don't have any faith in Fichtner to come up with a game plan to score on these guys. It's inexcusable that he did not have Vance heavily involved in todays game plan. Arizona has been mauled by every TE this year, they are as bad as the Steelers were defending TE's prior to this season. I know Vance left with a concussion but he only had 1 catch up until then and could have used Vannett afterwards, Arizona is that bad at covering them.Now you're facing a secondary with no weaknesses to exploit. They will need Conner back for this one, heavy dose of running and dare I say, maybe bubble screens. You thought I was going to say the wildcat didn't you, I better not see any of that mickey mouse stuff, Bills will destroy that.I have faith our defense can contain Allen, he's Lamar Jackson light and the Steelers have handled Jackson better than any other team this year.Going to be a tough game, I give the Bills the edge since they have a better offense and a defense to match ours.
