Thrivefourfive Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 The first of four straight wins. The team will come out with the mentality that they own the NFL! As they should. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 An "8" is where I am at. Confident for sure, but preparation, consistency, and smart football is even more important in playoff games. What makes it less than a 10? Tomlin is consistently prepared, and he got 10 wins in a tougher division with Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph. Steelers aren't nearly as talented. With that said, Steelers are a well-run franchise. Respect the Steelers. Still, we are going to win today. Go Bills! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 2 hours ago, Virgil said: I'd say I'm at a 6.5. With the wind still projected to be bad, it doesn't seem like a great passing day. I still believe we have the better overall team, but this is the type of game where fundamentals are key, to which I do believe the Steelers are more disciplined than us. As for home field advantage, I'm not sure what to expect. Like KC last night, I expect there to be a lot of empty seats. There were a lot of seats available, and who knows which fans those went to. Also, Pittsburgh is as prepared for these conditions as anyone in the league. Also, I absolutely hate when EVERYONE picks the Bills to win. Even still, we have Josh and I like him running the ball and making plays to squeeze out a win. Cook needs to protect the ball and Fournette just needs to keep it consistent. I believe we should win and think we will. But, and maybe it's the BBFS in me, I'm also very much prepared for a loss. **Update** Winds are projected at 10-15mph for the game. I’m sticking with my ratio it’s the Bills man. Confident they should win and terrified they won’t. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a kid watching the 90's Bills, I never got nervous in the playoffs. Always extremely confident the Bills would win. I had the exact same confidence in this Bills team until about mid-way through last season. I can't really pinpoint the moment, but it was around the Vikings game that things suddenly flipped and my brain. I started getting nervous before even regular season games, and fearing the worst. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NI Bills Fan Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 My confidence level was at about 7.5... but after reading some of the over confidence in this thread it has dropped to 6.3. 😄 Knew I shouldn't have come in here! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because when you were young, you had your whole life in front of you and surely the Bills would win one sooner or later. Then it was at some point during last season that it dawned on all of us that this Josh Allen-led team might not win one after all. For me, this happened a week earlier after the Jets game. My dad died in June and he was a fan since the first AFL season. He never got to see one. I think that is the fear that all of us have. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoonerBillsFan Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I'm meh. We play down to the level of competition and have played flat some of late. Definitely flat against Cincinnati last year. I am hoping that with the weather delay etc. They aren't flat today or we are 1 and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockinon Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 My only concern is our skill position players ability to catch and hold onto the ball in this cold. Other than that, about a 9. Steelers just don't belong here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JROC INTEL Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I was at the snowy Bengals loss last season. After watching Joe Mixon seemingly run 5-6 yards per attempt I cant help but be concerned Najee Harris can’t do something similar. That being said I think we figure it out and get the job done. Anyone have thoughts on why this won’t be like the Bengals game where we are dominated physically? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In Summary Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I do think turnovers matter, so win the turnover battle and avoid getting toasted on big plays and it should be a win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No team has dominated the Bills physically this year and it happened a bunch last year. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Lightning Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Depends on which Bills show up the Bills who beat KC and Dallas or the Bills that somehow managed to lose to the Pats Jets, Broncos and barely got by the Jints. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
