Gregg Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 1. Do not run. 2. Any Steelers get close throw the ball away. 3. Hopefully he can lead a TD drive or two but if not don't care. GET OUT OF THE GAME HEALTHY 5 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if he gets hurt practice like Joe Burrow or Teddy Bridgewater a few years ago? It’s football. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh is smart enough to avoid hits in preseason. I’ve always said I’m more worried about hits in the pocket. And we saw last year why. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At minimum they play a quarter. At most a half. This is the week where the starters play the most. The finale preseason game is all scrubs. Nobody important to the Bills season will play in that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSE Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I am going to this game, it's always good for a laugh. The only thing Steeler fans care about is Defense.

I will be there as well so I hope they take advantage of their weak LBers (besides Watt) Go BILLS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I am, and always have been, of the belief that you shouldn’t play your stars in preseason. I’d BARELY play any starters (if at all). Preseason is to be endured. Let’s hope that we get out healthy. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warriorspikes51 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I'm not thrilled about this. But, it would be exciting to see Allen and Kincaid looking like Mahomes and Kelce immediately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Three things I'm looking for from Josh Allen in this game: 1) Stiff arm at least one LB 2) Hurdle at least one DB 3) Get in a defensive lineman's face after plowing through him head first for a 1 yard gain on 3rd and 9 Football is back! 1 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I will be slightly drunk by the time this game kicks off UK time.... think it is about 11.30pm.

Will try and watch until the starters come out but I might have to leave you guys to it second half haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I really wish we would’ve played Allen vs the colts or the bears. 2 abysmal pass rushes. Instead, we’re playing against a pretty fierce pass rush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The intersection of futbol and football is something I look forward to every fall. The college football bar I go to for Penn State games is also the city's soccer bar. By kickoff for early afternoon games, there are still half a dozen dudes in their 50s who have been watching Scottish Premiership since 6AM. The only thing keeping them upright is their anger toward women, disdain for the mild mannered Big 10 crowd, and the occasional visit to the "loo" to smell their keys. I'm not saying you should go full Celtic fan Saturday night but back to back games can be done! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if things just go really well early for a series or two they might just pull them early, because they got a good rhythm going and don't really need to take the risk to see anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying you should go full Celtic fan Saturday night but back to back games can be done! You'd have to be drunk to enjoy the Scottish Premiership. It kicks off a week earlier north of the border and I tried to sit through Rangers - Kilmarnock a couple of Sundays ago. In the end I decided to go out and get some fresh air and the standard between hungover fat blokes at the local park was comparable with what I'd watched from Scotland. I consider 5 pints of Guinness only slightly drunk @Jauronimo - I'm a pro. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
