bigK14094 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 This team has heart, but, weaknesses. Our O is still fledgling....and the ST is subject to breakdowns.

RyanC883 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 We need to win this game. D is equal. Offense we are better. If not, then we have major issues. Really, a franchise QB does not loose to an undrafted rookie. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, a franchise QB does not loose to an undrafted rookie. The D is not equal. The PIT D causes havoc for QBs, creates takeaways like crazy and scores TDs. The Bills D beats you with coverages, confusion and discipline. They cause punts, but not many takeaways. It’s really a bad matchup. The onus is on the Bills offense to score with few playmakers vs a pressure defense. The PIT D and physical offensive players allow them to scrape by with a caretaker QB. The Bills do have major issues going toe to toe with exactly the type of defense they’ll be facing this week. NFL is really all about matchups. Just a quirk of the schedule that they get several of these defenses in December. Edited December 11, 2019 by Boatdrinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irv Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I feel the Bills consistently being the underdogs has a lot more to do with sucking for almost 20 years than the team that is on the field today. The guys who set the lines factor that in. It’s going to take a long time to get the stink off the team. I have no doubt they win outright Sunday night.

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Arguably the Steelers' run of constant wins over the Bills, especially at home, is basically more impressive than what the Patriots have done to us in terms of longevity--wish I could put my finger on it, but it's just a snakebit town for us. Side note as to the last time we won in Pburgh in the regular season--it was 1975 and the Steelers were in their 70's dynastic heyday, winning another Super Bowl that year too. That year's Steelers team went 12-2, and steamrolled through their division 6-0. Their only "real" loss that year? 30-21 at the hand of the eventual 8-6 Bills, in Week 2 (The Steelers other loss was in Week 14 when all starters were resting against the Raiders). Think about that for a minute--the Bills put up 30 points at 3 Rivers against one of the best D units the league has ever seen!

BTW, and I am honestly going off memory from the history of the Bills in team guides I used to look at as I was just a doe-eyed young lad in the 70s, that Bills team that finished an unfortunate 8-6 started the season at 4-0 and 6-2...they let the playoffs just slip away after that and that was it for Lou, the Bills and OJ, really until Knox's Bills. OJ was truly one of the greatest RBs, but with dneveu's reference above, and recent thoughts on OJ's record setting 273 yards rushing for on Thanksgiving's Day shows 2 out of the only 6 times that OJ rushed for 200 yards.

No one has rushed for more, and OJ really only had five NFL seasons in his prime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am suggesting that history gets fuzzy as time goes by and some people think that such an event was a routine experience as a Bills fan. It was not. It was rare and special. I believe Thurman may (may) have just had one, that Monday night game against the Jets. Greg Bell had one too....against Dallas when the Bills didn't have a win yet, late in the season...84, I think. I was there. EDIT: use of the word "only" doesn't insinuate an insult, just that such results were limited. Edit 2: @mannc Thank you for pointing out the above so I could clarify. I don't want there to be any confusion for what I was trying to say, which I should have expanded upon originally.
