Oh agreed. I think what I said is that he doesn't make the "big" mistake, and with a Steelers model of allowing teams to move but clamping down on points and winning ugly, not making the big mistake while playing the AFC South and an injured AFC North can win you games. But if the Bills get up two scores on them, I will not be shocked if mistakes start happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Firebaugh Kid Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 If you have the means to attend this game, please be loud. Rudolph shouldn't be able to hear a thing at the LOS on big downs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Having watched the Pats game and the Chargers game....yes, I see how it is entirely feasible that the Steelers could win. It would involve the Bills basically beating themselves, which unfortunately, they have been all too eager to do at times this year. I maintain this will be a much closer game than it needs to be, will be anxiety inducing to the final whistle, and will be ugly and low scoring. 20-17 Bills. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoonerBillsFan Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 After we win on Sunday,we will get the 2nd lowest seed remaining next week correct? Lowest seed goes to Baltimore. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) 3 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said: That's over... Yes... My point was that it got them limping into the 7th seed by playing conservative against vulnerable opponents. That's a lot harder to do vs playoff teams, many of whom have a better defense than the Steelers.

If the Bills win the divisional round will be Fins at Ravens if Miami wins and the Bills get the winner of the Texans/Browns. Chiefs at Bills if KC wins and the Ravens get the winner of the Texans/Browns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) 4 minutes ago, kkim0904 said: We beat Miami by 7 at away. You don't think we can beat Pittsburgh more than a touchdown at home Each game is a unique and self-contained entity. I think the Bills can beat the Steelers by FOUR touchdowns at home. However, given the weather, the Steelers scoring defense and red zone defense rankings, and the Bills' recent propensity to commit bonehead mistakes, I predict a much closer game. If it were as simple as "we beat the Dolphins by a touchdown on the road, and they're better than the Steelers, and we're at home, ergo we'll beat the Steelers by multiple scores", then sports prognostication would be a much easier practice. The transitive property does not apply to the NFL. Edited January 9 by Logic 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 22 minutes ago, BigDingus said: But you're a Bills fan, so you should understand this team plays down to the competition & keeps bad teams in the game with their turnovers. It's not really a farfetched scenario if the Bills play like that have in recent weeks. If they finally play to their potential & can successfully run the ball, then they can blow the Steelers out of the park. Yeah the reality is that the Bills have only had 5 decisive victories where they played well on both sides of the ball for most of the game and 3 of those were in the first month of the season. And none recently. Everything else has been a hard-watch, mistake-filled struggle including the last 3 wins........all against reeling/depleted teams. So I'd expect a one score game regardless of who plays or doesn't for Pittsburgh. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. Just win. The last two times the Bills played really well and blew out an opponent in the WC game.........the 343 yard rush game to end Shula's career and the "perfect game" vs NE......... they got beaten the next week. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can tell going on their boards and from my interactions with the Steelers fans I know, yes.

SCBills Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 With the wind, I fully expect the Steelers Offense to consist of runs, screen passes and slants. That's their Offense in good weather, and will surely be what they turn to with windy conditions. Stuff the run and do not let them get a cheap TD on a Pickens slant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills!Win! Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) Ok everybody. We’ve all been here before. Some are expecting the bills to take care of business but that’s not our bills. We will take a huge lead, take the foot off the gas and let them come back. We will score to go ahead in the 4th quarter. The Steelers will get the ball back on the last possession down 6 points and we will all be biting our nails until they fail a 4th and 1 pass to end the game at our 30 yard line. We then kneel the ball 3 times and win Bills win 24-18 Edited January 9 by Bills!Win! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan714 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 My experience with my co-workers here in central PA, they were saying the Steelers would be one and done, and they know their QB situation isn't great and they sure as hell aren't sold on any of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here in Erie. They feel they are in a circle of mediocrity ala the drought Era Bills. There's still some cocky dbags though of course. But hard for them to talk crap when you take Watt out too.

JoshAllin Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I think the obvious game plan for the steelers will be running the clock out with the rb's as much as possible , the problem is the bills have also been running the clock out. I don't want it to be close but it's looking to be close 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 1 hour ago, ngbills said: Steelers gone run the ball 80%+ of the time. Pickens will likely score a long TD on a slant with the Bills playing up. Hopefully weather is not too bad and we wind up in a game like NE a few years ago. Regardless we need to score fast and early to force PIT to play catch up. Dont give them any false hope. 80+%? Nah. that's the best way for them to lose the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
