Christmas is over, time for Rudy to head back to the barn. I don't disagree Baltimore can still win. I think kenny pickett is playing this week. Its going to be tough for baltimore if they play backup offensive lineman though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You use ABSOLUTELY. You're already wrong. Nothing is absolute especially in the NFL. You have Mason Rudolph vs Tyler Huntley. That's the QB matchup. You willing to throw an absolute on Mason Rudolph's shoulders? If so DM me...Id like to place a wager. 1 minute ago, MikePJ76 said: I don't disagree Baltimore can still win.

Can't find it at the moment, however Pickett said yesterday he's going to be the #2 this week. Sounds like they are running with Rudolph. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Steelers actually scored points for a change. I doubt Tomlin goes back to Pickett in a must win game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Huntley has a fair amount of experience, and he's been pretty solid at times. Heard the weather for that game will be miserable. Maybe he can lead the Ravens to a W in a close, low-scoring kind of game. Not counting on it, certainly. But it'd be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7975 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 1 hour ago, eball said: It's a reasonable question, but I don't think the Ravens will take essentially three weeks off before playing another meaningful game. The risk of losing your edge is too great. Besides, if you're Baltimore and you see what you just did to Miami do you really think Buffalo will lose to them anyway? It's a dangerous thing to screw around with your team in an effort to try and game the system. Sure, the rest of the AFC would prefer not to see the Bills but I don't think any coaches are making decisions on that basis. I'd bet if you ask coaches, most would prefer not to have a bye at all unless there are key players they are trying to get healthy. Told you guys there is no way they are risking injury in a meaningless game... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They try and win every game even pre season. Won like 17 in a row. Saw an article where Harbaugh said you really can only scratch 6 players. Ravens back ups are pretty solid. Couple starters are close to contract invectives. The crowd may not be a huge factor but if the ravens can stop the run game they win. Feels like if ravens have a weakness it’s at CB. I expect them to shut down Rudolph and win a tight ugly game. Every Pitt Balt game is a war Edited January 3 by billsfanmd07 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 16 minutes ago, DaBillsFanSince1973 said: Nice to see. But as thrilled as I am, there is a pretty sizable veteran core that is aging out that is either dead cap or very hard to replace. Hyde's contract is up, and I legitmately think he might hang up his cleats. He's had neck injuries two years in a row, and just turned 33. And yet, no matter what, we are paying for him on void years. Poyer is a touch younger and we have him another year, but his play has trailed off this year. It pains me seeing them at this point, because I remember how they were new arrivals to set the tone at the start of McDermott's tenure and by all accounts have been model teammates. Von Miller might bounce back, but with his personal business his contract is looking like an albatross at the moment. Diggs is 30. Maybe he has a Larry Fitzgerald like career, but not a ton of guys hit another gear at that point...and a lot start to regress. He's on the books at least until 2025. Tre White might have just had a career ending injury, and is a possible cut candidate. I'm not saying this to be a Debbie Downer. The team has a lot to look forward to. But there is going to be some painful transition coming up. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They absolutely can win the game I agree, but I think it's absolutely necessary for the Bills to prepare this week as if it's do or die. I'll be happy if the Bills just get into the dance, but there's a big difference in matchups between playing the Colts, Texans or Steelers at home, with an eye on hosting Chiefs, Browns, AFC South winner...and needing to play Miami on the road back to back, then Baltimore on the road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been burned (ok potentially a poor choice of words) by the Bills getting losing to backups to take a preemptive victory lap but jeeeeez that is some bad luck. Chubb and Howard being out at this point was already a foregone conclusion but I am carefully eyeing Mostert, Waddle and Achae on the injury report. After Hill (who definitely isn't 100% but is still dangerous) who else do they have as skill positions? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 For any person checking this board and wondering why we are so hungry for injury updates on Hill, Waddle, Mostert and Achae, why we might almost seem bloodthirsty... Dolphins Rushing Leaders 1) Mostert - 1012 yards 2) Achae - 744 yard ... 3) Jeff Wilson Jr. - 143 yards Dolphins Receiving Leaders 1) Tyreek Hill - 1717 yards 2) Jaylen Waddle - 1014 yards ... 3) Durham Smythe - 336 yards The drop off is astounding 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry jones Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 This is really not setting up well for the good guys. Zero confidence in getting help from Baltimore or Tennessee and not encouraged by the way we’ve played the last two games. Hoping the offense can flip an invisible switch and turn things around because Miami will score on us. Prolly gonna need at least 30-35 pts 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said, totally agree with you, that they could still beat the Steelers. Especially, the guys playing might be more loose, since the game doesn’t have playoff implications for them. If you even give their backups a 15% chance of winning, and then Titans a 30% chance against the Jags, there’s a 40% chance at least one of those teams are going to win. So, not impossible to think the Bills will have clinched a WC spot before Sunday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we recapture the good vibes from that game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
