Quite often sign up for an account and chit chat about the upcoming game...when I went to the steelers forum this time I found this. *****...you would think they are 1 and 11 and not 11 and 1. Also saw a couple other threads that it seems the majority think we will crush them. Shocked really. Anyway thought I'd share. http://thesteelersfans.com/forums/threads/your-prediction-how-many-3-and-outs-by-our-offense-against-buffalo.25224/ I think this thread is interesting as well ... http://thesteelersfans.com/forums/threads/how-to-defend-the-steelers-offense-for-dummies.25238/ Fan frustration about there play calling tendencies Edited December 9, 2020 by CorkScrewHill 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...

MJS Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I think this is going to be a challenging game. And I would not be surprised to see the Steelers come out extremely motivated. 1 1 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...

We are starting to peak/ come together. They are starting to sink/ fall apart. I think this game is akin to the 49 ers game in terms of relative “ease”.

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? Not that forecast matters since WNY weather changes quicker than than a stripper after a lap dance.

Its farily typical of NFL fans. I listen to Sirius NFL radio and Steelers fans really get on them when they lose, especially to inferior teams. Again, Bills fans are nancy's after this kind of loss too. Well sure! It’s normal to be upset when we lose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
