RoyBatty is alive Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 12 minutes ago, PetermansRedemption said: Too bad we don’t have a dome. Inclement weather always favors the lesser team by leveling the playing field a bit. Just have to hope it doesn’t get too bad and the Bills crush the Steelers as they should. Stop with the dome non-sense or are you going to complain about it for the next 50 years. Bills are supposedly built for winter weather difficult games and got the one of a 2-3 QBs that have the strength to counter the wind. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 This Bills team is built better for bad weather games than in any time in the past that I can remember. The defensive line is stout, I imagine Linval will be called up to beef up the Defensive line, the Bills will look to do a lot of running and play action. 23-13 Bills 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FilthyBeast Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I hate these large point spreads and I still feel the Bills will make this game way more difficult than necessary even without a superstar like Watt playing for the Steelers especially since Rudolph is a much better '3rd stringer' than Skyler Thompson last year. With that said, if Allen and this offense don't turn the ball over they likely win without needing the game going down to the final drive and minutes of the game. If not expect more of the same....and even heavier anxiety and dread heading into a possible divisional round match up against a familiar team. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I know this is off the point, did anyone else notice that all three AFC games are being played in a row? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickelCity Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 1 hour ago, Einstein said: It’s officially playoff week! TJ Watt, the Steelers best player, is NOT expected to play. For the Bills: - Rasul Douglas left the game with a knee, but was seen celebrating in the locker room. Could be he was simply removed from the game due to an abundance of caution. - Ty Johnson is in the concussion protocal. - We don’t know much about Gabe yet. - Dodson is a probable AC joint sprain according to BangedupBills on Twitter. - Dawkins said his finger almost FELL OFF. I don’t know if that’s hyperbole or not, but we all saw the blood. Seemed upbeat in the locker room, but legitimately hobbled/limping badly on the sideline.

They've been running the ball well. That's about it and Mason Goofball hasn't been turning it over like the other guys. Our run d is pretty stout these days though.

TheBrownBear Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) 36 minutes ago, Logic said: Bad weather, going against a good defense and an underdog team with nothing to lose and a 3rd string QB... To me, this has all the makings of an anxiety inducing, closer than it needs to be, can't exhale until the final whistle type of game. Not that the Bills have really played any other type of game for most of this season, but... I hope I'm wrong. I hope it's a laugher in favor of the good guys. As it stands now, though, I'll say 20-17 Bills. Agree, Logic. And Rudolph has been one of the best QBs in the league over the past three weeks. We have to protect the ball and get the running game going or this could easily turn into an ugly Sunday.

Boatdrinks Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 42 minutes ago, Process said: Pretty sure Allen threw 4 TDs in the first half that game. The weather is really unfortunate. I don't think we will have trouble with the Steelers either way, but with no Watt Allen likely would have been able to have another big day passing the ball. Would have been nice to keep the momentum going after putting up 350 yards yesterday, especially considering how bad the passing game has been prior to Miami. Still a bit far out to be sure of weather in that 3 hour block on Sunday. We’ll know with more certainty on Thursday or Friday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaMilBill Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 1 hour ago, Einstein said: Definitely weather related. The weather thread mentioned 20-25 mph winds. Unlike the wind game against the Pats a couple years ago, I hope we attempt to throw the ball through the air. That first half against the Pats we refused to even attempt to throw which was foolish when you have someone like Josh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're the best coached team in the playoffs, where we have a DC acting as Interim HC and a QB coach acting as Interim OC. Gonna be a tough one no matter what. Hopefully, our talent shows up to play and tips the balance back to our favor. 2 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
