Dablitzkrieg Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 This comment is the best... It wouldn't surprise me if Steelers offense only scored 2 TDs... one in garbage time after Buffalo pulls ahead 3+ scores. Unless Conner has an epic game and the O-line miraculously figures out how to run block, it's gonna be more of the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every team has some Debbie Downers in its fandom who disappear after good games. upChuck DICKerson disciples were around during Superbowl years. Right. There is a Bills fan page I "like" on Facebook. Within 10 minutes of the end of the 49ers game, one guy was proclaiming that "This team isn't going anywhere with garbage like Levi Wallace"... people suck. I understand where some of it comes from, I really do. But if being a fan of a team is that taxing on you, you should probably just sit it out. Absolutely miserable fans sometimes....but they are in every team fan base. I think I have a fairly realistic vision of my teams, but when things are going well, I am sure as hell not going to dwell on the negatives...enjoy the good times while they are happening, because, as we all know, the good times can be few and far between. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting to see the kind of fans on opponent boards. While there are fans on all boards, at both extremes, I found the 49er fans to be mostly realistic regarding their expectations. I visited the Steelers board the other day and found and thought the same thing. Lots of introspection in that fanbase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you share what makes the Bills (other than being darn good) a particularly difficult match up for the Steelers? The strength of our defense matches up with the strength of their offense, and McD/Frazier have proven that they can stick it to one dimensional offenses. Couple that with the key injuries they have on defense and you have a lot of the ingredients for a blow out. I expect a relatively tight game, but I can understand the trepidation of Steelers fans for this game. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 The Steelers are probably one of the "weaker" 11-1 teams in recent memory. Lots of close wins against bad opponents. But you are what your record says you are. They have one of if not the best defenses in the league, a good ST unit and an offense that puts up enough points anchored by a 2 times Super Bowl winning QB along with a Super Bowl winning coach. It isn't going to be a cakewalk against the Steelers. I do think that this will be a one possession game and it will come down to who doesn't turn the ball over and who makes that one big play that ends up being the difference in the game. It should be a slugfest between two very good teams. I am feeling a Bills victory as of now but I am worried the weather is going to hamper the passing attack and the run defense (which has been better as of late) is going to fold in a game where the weather conditions will favor running the ball. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue with their defense is that they may be without both starting corners Sunday in addition to their 3rd string ILB, and Dupree being out. That’s a bad recipe of injuries for defending our offense, especially if Allen is feeling it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, but the weather and John Brown being out could make this an ugly game where the Bills can't throw effectively and they need to run the ball which will help the Steelers survive the injuries to the secondary.

A sloppy turnover and letting up a big play could doom this team. If this was in a dome or in good weather I would be feeling a 2 possession margin for the Bills against a banged up team. But this type of weather will favor the team that isn't playing as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. Not having two starting LBers doesn’t help them there though. Particularly when it’s their two best LBers not named Watt. What’s the weather supposed to be Sunday?
