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.  I guess that means the Bills D and Oline won't be physical and will get pushed around all game.  Okay.

 

Why does anyone watch these shows?

Are the Bills having some outdoor practice in the stadium on some of these windy days?  They should, at least for portions of it..


I hear on WGR this morning that the last time the Steelers played in Buffalo (2022) it was extremely windy, though not cold. The Bills smashed Pittsburgh that day and the passing game was on point.

 

I don’t think weather will hurt either team with what they want to do. And, to be honest, the wind can be blowing one way one day and another the next so I’m not so sure it would make that much of a difference practicing in it.

I disagree. I think the Bills figured it out in the second half of Dolphins game. 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.

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.

night and day difference. It was October, a moderate Fall day, and not nearly as windy as what is projected.

McDermott just said this is the most physical football team they have seen this year.  

 

The injury list is long and this is really concerning.

Weather Underground says average windspeed was 22 mph with gusts up to 36 mph during the Bills-Steelers game on October 9, 2022.

 

Pretty much right on what is forecast for this upcoming game.

WR Gabe Davis (knee), CB Rasul Douglas (knee), S Taylor Rapp (calf) and LB Tyrel Dodson (shoulder) will not practice today and are day-to-day moving forward throughout the week, according to McDermott.

So they're all playing Sunday.

With as nasty as it’s going to be this weekend it seems like a good time to give the Steelers a good dose of Lenny. 

Absolutely.  As dynamic as Cook can be, he is not a guy to grind out the tough yards and I believe one of his drops will cost the Bills dearly in the playoffs. Fournette is looking like an astute F/A signing...

How strong? Because nucci just had something that said 20 MPH, which I can live with. Conditions like the 6-0 wind game in 2021? Issue.

 

I live like 45 mins from Baltimore and I can honestly say, the weather that Pittsburgh beat Baltimore's backups in last Sat night was the absolute worst.  Just a really cold steady soaking rain and a decent wind.

He's got sure hands and can catch the ball out of the backfield.  I'd love to see him hit the second level with a head of steam

See that's my other issue. He was a major asset to Brady in Tampa out of the backfield.
