Baltimore had 150 yards rushing in that game, we had 32. Don't see that being a winning formula on Sunday. Pittsburgh also has much better skill position players than the Ravens had then. Pittsburgh may be a better team than most realize. They're 10-7 in a battle hardened division. Edited January 10 by PBF81 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 My ludicrous roster/personnel usage take of the day, which will make you say "Logic's an idiot": I think Leonard Fournette should get an equal snap (and usage) share with Cook. Perhaps even be the primary ball carrier. Cook has fumbled (or nearly fumbled) just enough to make me a bit nervous about the wet/snowy conditions this Sunday, plus he hasn't been super effective running the ball as of late. Cook has fumbled four times this season across 237 carries, which equates to one fumble per 59 carries. Fournette, meanwhile, has fumbled four times in his entire CAREER, spanning 1,144 carries, which equates to one fumble per 286 carries. Fournette also has that "I don't wanna tackle this dude on a 19 degree night" build and power. Give me more Playoff Lenny and less Cook this week. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Huntley had like 50-60 of those yards in garbage time though, after Lamar went down with the concussion and we were up 17-3!

I am guessing 20-25 sustained with gusts higher during snow squalls. 1 minute ago, KCNC said: Nothing like the NE "wind" game but certainly enough to cause issues, especially when you add lake effect snow in with it.

zow2 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Michael Irvin and Richard Sherman on their show with Skip think the Bills are a flimsy #2 seed and Pittsburgh will be super physical and punch us in the mouth.

The Steelers are in the toughest division in the league with three teams in the playoffs and the fourth only eliminated in week 18. Two of their teams running with backup QBs. The Steelers are a physical, not a finesse, team. They're only one game worse than us with a tougher schedule.

If defense stops Steelers running game then Bills will win I agree with this. Also game flow for me. Not a lot of space against Miami, I thought it would've been better if we tried getting Fournette more involved, especially at the 5, where he can carry guys for 1-3 yds, when there isn't a hole to run through. Also.... Fournette absolutely loves playing against Pitt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Until the last few weeks, I thought the Steelers were 100% frauds. There is something to be said for eeking out wins in close games, so I have to give them credit for that - but they were one of the luckiest teams in the league to be in the position they were heading into the final weeks. Since they began starting Rudolph, they've looked like a different team. That concerns me much more than some wind. But I still think they're the best draw in the AFC, and a team we should beat 8x out of 10. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Somewhere over in that cloud of dust [or snow?], 2 yards were just earned.
