GoBills808 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 16 minutes ago, ScottLaw said: I guess.... they barely beat a pretty average Steelers team led by a QB who shouldn’t be in the league.... they ended up losing their next two to the Jets and got demolished by the Ravens back ups in week 17. The Dallas win was the best of the year. The Steelers were not a good team and I’d even argue a bad team with Duck Hodges as their QB. A wins a win. I just think people arguing it was an impressive win is over exaggerated. The Steelers weren’t a good team with the guy they had at QB when we played them. The Steelers defense was playing at arguably the highest level in the league at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let alone starting. It was a prime time game with large playoff implications heading into pittsburgh to play a team that that was 8-5 and had won 7 of 8 leading up to it. I’m not gonna pretend like I think Hodges is worth a dang in the long run but they had been onto something up to that point and it was most definitely a solid win. .... and regardless of all that, why are people in here being such downers about a light hearted response to a tweet? They played they’re signature song on a Sunday night, in a big game, and proceeded to immediately get owned coming out of the break. It was freaking perfect. Loved it.

It was a game with more build up and pressure than Dallas was at the time. We were coming down the stretch, jockeying for position, and coming off of a tough loss to the Ravens. We lose that game and we may not have gotten in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 It was a far cry from the days when the Bills' starters couldn't even beat the Steelers' backups, at home, with a chance at the playoffs on the line.

Living in Stiller country I can tell you what they were saying... for weeks leading up to that game “the duck” was THE GUY and there was no way the bills were gonna head into their stadium and beat them.... then it was “whatever. You beat our 3rd stringer”. They talked jive the whole lead up to the game knowing they had a built in cop out if he happened to get exposed like anyone with half a brain knew would happen vs the first good defense he played. owning a local gym I deal with a lot of traffic and A TON of trash talk through football season. So I had a pretty good pulse on how they were feeling heading into that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok? What does this have to do with my point that that the Steelers weren't a good team with Duck Hodges as their QB? They weren't. They lost 3 in a row to end the season including a blow out loss to the Ravens backups. they also won 3 in a row before the bills game and were 8-2 after a bad start.... but that doesn't really support what you are trying to do here, so I get it. they definitely got figured out by the end of the season but theres no debating they were playing well and one of the hottest teams in the league heading into that SNF game.

Billl Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Hodges didn’t throw a TD the rest of the season, nor did he crack 100 yards in either of the remaining games. He averaged 1.11 air yards per attempt against the Bills...the average pass attempted barely crossed the line of scrimmage. The next week? He averaged -.35 air yards per attempt. I’ve never even heard of that before. Hodges is horrific. Trying to spin it any other way is laughable. Their defense was very good, though. Their offense turned it over 5 times that game, and they held the Bills to 17 points. (FTR, Pittsburgh closed as a 1 point favorite.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
