Lol I think this 'teams coming out angry and playing better because they lost' thing is an absolute myth. Good teams don't lose two in a row often because the odds of them losing even one in a row is pretty low 🤣 I don’t think it’s a myth but I agree it’s a tough rebound for them. Difficult to put the screws to your players when they have so many games so soon and have had so much success. I’m hoping they just want a break (there bye came early and unexpectedly) which lets us just steam roll them.

machine gun kelly Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 5 hours ago, Bob in STL said: Don’t know where people get these ideas? The Steelers will prepare the same way at 11-1 as they would at 12-0. It’s not their fault the schedule turned out easy. They are good but until the season plays out we don’t know how good. Once the game starts all the media hype fades away. I was picking the Bills to win and that isn’t changing just because the Steelers are “mad at losing”. Well said Bob. People making comments like “oh watch out, they will be mad” comes from people Who have never really played sports at a high level”. Each team has their own motivation to win. With that logic, the Jags wouldn’t be fighting every game as hard as they are and only won one game. The Broncos have no hope, but still play to win like they won on the Dolphins. Did the Chargers give up with only three wins, or did they fight as hard as possible against us. I have hope for us Sunday. It will neither be easy or impossible to win. It will be a battle, and the team that game plans, and executes better will win. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills were a so-so team that pulled out some close wins against bad competition and managed to compile a good record based on that competition. But, as the year progressed, they gained experienced and confidence until by the time the playoffs came they had become a pretty good team.

Hebert19 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Steelers will have a great gameplan. No question about that so we need to be able to adjust.

The 49ers looked an awful like the Bills did when they sat back against Brady over the years. Tom would just pick us apart. The Steelers won’t make that same mistake.

But given their injuries on D, I’m not sure we will see a lot of it from the Steelers. Allen and Co. have been evolving into a “pick your poison” type of offense as SF saw the other night. Saleh mixed it up all game with every look imaginable and it didn’t matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are key in cold weather and playoffs. We've not had these. Whats changed with the Browns, is a disciplined coach has grounded Mayfeild some and settled them down. They concern me, but part of me really wants to play and beat them. Edited December 9, 2020 by RichRiderBills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living in the tri-state area(Northwest Pa), Cleveland is 90 min west, Pitt is 90 min south, and buffalo is 90 min north. So there’s a really cool mix of those fans here and it’s been really fun football season for this area. I’ve had a lot of talks with browns fans about what you just said. I’ve said the exact same thing you just explained. browns have the same feel as our bills from last season. Protecting the qb with coaching and top 5 run game and getting better all year while feasting on a very weak schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tennesse and Kc slowed the Bills with zone. I feel the offense has grown. The question is how is the weather. How are the pass catchers in the elements. Overall, I like the match up and thing Buffalo should win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't be said enough but Davis has really stepped up with Brown hurt. When Brown comes back just think of all the options for Allen with Diggs, Brown, Beasley and Davis.

Goes to show how deep that draft at Wr was. Reading his pre-draft grades it was written a few differant places he was a surfire day 2 pick in almost every other draft. His work ethic is going to make him our #2 wr in short order. His off season work with Brandon Marshall im looking forward to hopefully a similar career arch to Allen in terms of growth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
