Weatherman Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 24% of the Steeler overall yardage came on penalties to include a reversed call on a crucial interception. To refs were not the reason the Bills lost but played a big part of it. Steelers should give Daboll and the officials game balls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We fixed a bunch of things that we lacked down the stretch last year. The defenses will start to dial in around week 8. I’m feeling pretty good now.

pigpen65 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 McD better use this game to wash the ***** off his 4th down decision making or we are toast. I was hoping the preseason success they had was going to rub off but today was right back to the old man driving 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely underperformed in the 1st half compared to what he showed last year, but the pass rush got to him a ton. He settled in just fine at the end of the 1st half but the whole last 20 minutes of the game he had no chance. Dumbest 4th and 1 call I've ever seen. Sanders dropped a perfectly placed seam pass. Numerous offensive holding calls that brought good passes back. Allen would have had to play a nearly perfect game to win this one and I can't expect that from him every week. The biggest culprit in this game BY FAR was the o-line. Dawkins is seriously worrying me. He has to get his conditioning back in the middle of a season. That's a tough ask. The guards were awful all game long. Someone needs to remind the Bills offensive holding is getting called this year. It is my #1 concern about the team right now. I would agree, minus the dang deep ball. Those misses are monster game changers. He missed another 2-3 deep balls today. Those splash plays change everything and we gotta hit at least one. Our best play of the day was what?? Maybe the 25 yard run by motor at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelers are going to roll through the afc north with all the injuries Baltimore has. You are right, ended 12-5. Not sure about that though Baltimore nor Cleveland won't be easy outs and lets wait to see how Bens arm is after more than one game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That's No Moon Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 5 minutes ago, Big Blitz said: EVERYONE underestimated this Steelers defense. I was feeling that after the Watt signing a bad feeling. That we still don't matchup well with them my concern was running the ball but their pass defense is better. Engram is better then Dupree. Much better. It might be the best D we see all year. Our offense has been dog**** for the last 14 consecutive quarters against playoff caliber defenses.

It’s good I’m not a coach because Its baffling what the bills offense was thinking they wanted todo. You need tight ends to beat them. A threat from 2 TE looks This matchup was just horrendous all around 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offensive strategy was lacking the screens, motion and gadgetry that gets players open. The motion and misdirection is the secret sauce. Agree on the offensive strategy. They seemed to know what we were calling. They seemed to have 3 DBs near every pass. Poor blocking, lack of execution all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about the OL being big villians though. Its still like Heyward and Watt, two demons. Steelers D always rough. That being said...I cant escape playcalling and that goddamn blocked punt.

Nihilarian Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 38 minutes ago, BillsEnthusiast said: Anyways, I don't like Josh throwing 51 times a game especially when our offensive line is getting demolished by Ingram and Heyward. This! That Bills O line wasn't good enough against KC and it didn't improve. Also, the Steelers who almost always field a top defense had an entire off season to study that Bills passing offense and Allen's tendency's. Might need to get used to a long, long season if this team attempts to stay one dimensional. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostbitmic Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Our team sleepwalked to a 10-0 halftime lead. Tomlin woke his team up in the 2nd half, our team continued to sleepwalk. This team was unprepared for its opponent today. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they have a great defense, but people are going to find ways to outscore the Steelers. Teams that can run the ball, and play hard nosed defense will be able to beat the Steelers. They might be a playoff team, but they aren’t top notch imo. We’re supposed to be top notch. We have the rest of the season to show that, and if we want to win the Lombardi, we’ll need to beat teams who are much better than the Steelers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
