Lothar Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Pitt Tribune writer thinks Bills will lose to Steelers because they are "disheveled" due to Covid. A couple other tidbits about problems along their offensive line and their linebackers. https://triblive.com/sports/mark-madden-steelers-will-beat-disheveled-bills-in-week-1/ The Steelers will beat host Buffalo in the opener. The constant covid debate surrounding the Bills has them disheveled. The Steelers are all football. Steelers win. You heard it here. I like when our opponent's media feels confident.

billybrew1 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Rothlesburger has a rifle, it's true. Its just that Allen has a cannon.... They lack the cornerbacks to watch our WRs. Expect our top four to have a good day. They couldn't watch our three last year, Sanders is going to break their hearts. They also don't have anywhere near the OL to exact a strong run game vs. us. On paper, we should beat them worse than last year. The game was very close in the first half....till TJ's big play then.... Diggs and Allen (with help from the OL, Davis and Beasley) took the game over. Kudos to the Stealers for keeping us out of the endzone with a first down on the one..... Though our OC knew the field goal was enough and probably kept it safe. The Bills are the better team with the better QB and had the better offseason.... Bills - 31, Stealers - 17. Go Bills! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now granted, that was GB backups, but also a lot of our backups, It was just far too surgical for "disheveled" to be an adjective. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's an analogy to the Steelers dude, and the Bills, I say your hair used to be disheveled, then you shed it in favor of a powerful smooth scalp. Out of any Bills dishevelment, a powerful smooth scalp will arise, and the ones scalped will be the Steelers. That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsbackto81 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Well, consider this, They can't say. 1. Their QBs look like 💩 2. Teams are scoring a ton of points against them. 3. They've gotten worse in the off season. 4. They don't have team depth. 5. Their draft picks look terrible. 6. Nobody's expecting much from them. So I guess the narrative has to be BILLS DISHEVELED BY COVID! News at 11. 😅😅😅😅😅 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickelCity Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Ben's arm had more pop than I expected when I watched him this preseason. Kind of unlucky that we got them early in the season when he can still throw actual NFL passes, but I still think we win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reader Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I went and looked at the Steelers message board, since y'know maybe we should look at more than one opinion. No one has really mentioned the Bills yet other than a few saying that they would need all hands on deck in order to stand a chance against us.

GETTOTHE50 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) Gotta stretch out the Steelers defense and make those linebackers run sideline to sideline to gas them out. Not worried about Ben having a big day. Diontae is good but Tre will have him covered. Asides from that, the Steelers will probably try to slow down the game via ground n pound like pre-JA17 bills football. As long as the offense gets 28 by the start of the 4th, then I see no way the Steelers can keep up. Edited August 31, 2021 by GETTOTHE50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben threw a beautiful bomb on one play and Najee can catch the ball. Should be a good test for both teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this game was post week 8 I wouldn't have a single doubt about it. Ben was a good Quarterback through 5 or 6 weeks last year and then his arm just lost all power. Would not be surprised to see the same again. I think the Bills win but Pitt was a team I did not want to see week 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMF2006 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 That Pitt Sports Writer might want to talk to this guy Adam Archuleta who admitted during the Miami PS game he was oh so wrong about Josh 3 years ago. He now wonders how any team can stop him There might only be 2 worst draws for your opener...KC at Arrowhead and Tampa the defending Champs and even thats debatable. The Bills at home with a full house on week one with this fan base has got to be right there with those other two. 50,000 for the PS game and they were loud and now 70,000 crazy football starved fans with a contending team to cheer for at last.

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I'm actually happy to see so many pro-Pitt takes. I want the Bills hungry on the 12th. But "disheveled from COVID?" What? Maybe at most Dawkins missing a lot of camp, but he looked fine last game and he has another week and a half. No other players have missed substancial time. That's a hot take. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stank_Nasty Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) It’s not just their reporters. The WHOLE fan base is in complete denial. They aren’t handling the inevitable decline with grace. They’ve all talked themselves into Haskins being the natural predecessor of Big Ben and it will be quite the seamless transition. Living on the outskirts of their territory in Erie, PA, I’ve had numerous fans explain to me their weapons were “loaded”. I just laugh and say uh ya you have a bunch of #2 and #3 wr’s. That’s loaded I guess???? Bring up their division and it’s just “the browns have sucked for 20 years” on repeat. It’s a group that just can’t/refuses to wrap their heads around where their division is going. a fan base that’s been overly spoiled for nearly 2 decades now and will not let themselves believe it’s gonna end. Pure denial and delusion. 5 minutes ago, WhitewalkerInPhilly said: I'm actually happy to see so many pro-Pitt takes. I want the Bills hungry on the 12th. But "disheveled from COVID?" What?

galept Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) A couple guys on GMFB thought we will lose this game. And front page of ESPN+ has an article (pay wall) saying Buffalo is one of the five teams expected to regress. I don't know how people are looking at two different teams than us, but I certainly felt like we got a lot better over the off-season. Time will tell.

Steelers have a winning tradition, stability in many spots, and will likely be at their best early in the season. I won’t be surprised to see them picked to win by several and that is a. good. Thing. The more people who pick the Steelers, the bigger the chip the Bills will carry and we’ve seen them rise up in those occasions. Any underdog status that can be manufactured this season will be a gift. I expect a close game and I think the Bills are the better overall team, at home, so I do expect them to win the game, but not easily. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
