Hold the Bills offense to 10 points or less, get 2 FGs from their offense, and a defensive/ST TD? 

 

While I think the Bills D can handle the Steelers' offense, I also think that Pitts D can handle the Bills offense as well.  The Pitts D has forced turn overs with regularity since acquiring Minkah Fitzpatrick -- and they certainly have scored more defensive TDs than the Bills D.  The Bills ST are below average while the Steelers ST are very good. 

 

The Heintz Field crowd is always a big advantage for the Steelers.

 

The Steelers have played cupcake teams lately. We hung with the Ravens Defense (even though we continually killed ourselves) and they have been beating the wheels off of good teams lately.

we played Denver who was number 4 at the time and did just fine...  Also hung one of the higher yardage totals on the Pats this year....we will be fine.

Dont forget the Titans.....they have a pretty good D as well

I'm really concerned with our offense. it's really not that tough to contain us to 14 points or under. 

 

I really hope Daboll has a smart gameplan for sunday night. 

Wrong

Of course not. Steeler fans don't fear any opponent.

 

 

I married into a Steeler fan household. They act like we have no chance of beating them. 

 

They've won 7 of 8, and we're the Bills. Their perception of this team is that we're not even close to being on their level.

I'm happy with the way Josh has been taking care of the ball -- I don't blame him for the sack/fumble against Baltimore.  If he continues to protect the ball and the Bills commit no more than one turnover I do think they will be fine against the Steelers.

 

 

 

Don't sell them short, they are tremendous slouches.

 

 

Lol...always like a Caddyshack reference

3 tough games - win 1 and potentially a playoff game AKA the perfect month for Josh Allen to be able to show that he has improved as a sophomore, or needs another full off season of coaching to get better

And don’t forget a few key offseason FA additions to the offense.

Valid point and concerns.

Maybe we’ll smash the hell out of em and end their playoff chances and you can parade the Bills gear at Christmas! ?

yeah - you can't know.

 

i find it amazing that anyone would think it is valid.

 

where?

 

if i can't calculate it myself, how can i confirm the validity of their claims? how can anyone confirm?

Proprietary. Same with ESPN and QBR. I don’t put much stock in either tbh

To those that are getting hung up on the concept of DVOA, can you agree that the point of the OP is valid ? No matter which metrics you prefer , it's indisputable that there are 3 very tough D's to play against. Win and in is great but it's not going to be easy and I hope we don't let the decision drag to the last game of the season. That will be truly limping into the playoffs
