schoolhouserock Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Way too many penalties today. Blocked punt was terrible. Kicking a FG while in the red zone with ~6 minutes left was a bad, bad decision. Deserved the L. PIT had some very good plays all around. Sucks to lose this - will be a tough tie breaker to overcome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Matter_What Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Let the doom begin! I am not happy but whatever. Allen was worse than any game last season, offense was not clicking, Daboll made som weird calls, McDermott made some really bad ones, one ST play broke our neck. Defense was fine and did its job. Refs didn't help too but they didn't decide this game. We will get better, I am not afraid. Allen was probably too amped, he will settle down. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatdane21 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) The same holes that haunted this team last year are back,holding penalties,lack of pass rush, corner play , punting, Josh fumbling and can’t hit long passes, tight end usage nonexistent. let’s see how they recover from this loss!

teef Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 As much of a stinker as this one was, I don’t think we have to worry about it being a habit. Everyone was just off. Not typical for this team, but certainly not above it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand J Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Same problems as last year. OL struggles to protect, DL struggles to get home with 4, DBs can’t hold long enough for DL to get home. Wallace is still a liability, Edmunds can’t catch a cold (why is he on the hands team??), and the team won’t go far if Allen is off. Team is also not good enough to have 2nd and 3rd round picks inactive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitt made a lot of key catches. The INT that was overturned was huge. Overall we deserved to lose. You cant keep a team in the game like we did. We were out of sync and in a funk all game. It happens. On to Miami! While you are absolutely right, the disheartening aspect is that the Steelers suck. They're not a good team. Decent defense, but that's it. They are not a SB contender team. They are a 1 and done playoff team at best. That's what worries me. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaoloBillsFanFromItaly Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Props to the Steelers defense, they were tough to the challenge against our modern passing attack. Nevertheless without 2 big phantom calls, the INT by Tre and the PI against Levi, the Bills (defense) wins the game easily. That's my take. 2 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgrochester55 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 The rest of the NFL knows what the Buffalo offense is about and they wont get away with being one dimensional as much as last year. I am not worried, yet, I would rater have a wake up call like this early. Hope they can learn from this and make the necessary adjustments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roundybout Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 My biggest fear before the season so far is confirmed - our defensive back depth is atrocious. We can't have Taron Johnson on Mapletron and I've long wished we would move on from Levi. Offensive line was horrific but I think the Steelers have the best front four in the league. Of course, then why didn't we scheme around that with some rollouts or RUN PLAYS? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 This game was our Hail Murray for 2021. There is no way this team wasn't affected by all of the SB hype.

billsfan714 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Two plays changed the game....the blocked punt and the missed easy 6 to Sanders. Ive been saying it for ever.....this game is about playmakers.....the Steelers made a big one and we missed a big one. The margin for error in the NFL is razor thin. Overall, the Steelers were the more physical team. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livinginthepast Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I dont think the playcalling was actually the big problem in this game (aside from that horrendous 4th down call). The problem was the execution in this game on all sides of the ball. Josh was poor, receivers dropped multiple balls, Singeltary couldnt get it done when it mattered. The special teams even decided to completely forget their blocking assignments. In the end the Bills looked like they werent properly prepared for the Steelers. This kind of lack of preparation or focus is all on Mcd and he has done this a few times in his tenure. The whole team should feel embarrassed for what they served up to the fans in the stadium. It was utter garbage! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree about DL and punter. The DL played very well the first half until the Steelers figured out they could just hold them every play without getting called for it. Haack had a few very nice punts and didn't shank any like their punter did (or like Bojo used to). On the blocked punt one of the Steelers came right up the middle basically unblocked. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
