But then the perfect game happened, followed by 13 seconds. That created a giant memory hole for Bills fans that the Colts, Pats, and Jags fell into. 

 

They lost a game vs the pats when they threw the ball 3x, the run defense was atrocious. Same thing happened vs the colts, completely blown out, atrocious run defense.

 

They had maybe the worst game I've ever seen, and everyone thought the team was done after the jags 9-6 loss. 

 

For the record I think this bills team is not as good but who knows.

Recievers are worse, but the running back and OL are better.

Ummm sounds like Buffalo lately. 

Still sitting at 7-4 though. I'm not in a panic mode, but if they lose Sunday I'll start lol.

Pittsburgh is in the 20s on defense, 20th in points allowed, and 28th in yards allowed. On offense, 11th in points scored, 27th in yards.

 

What's good for Buffalo is that their offense is really bad at rushing, 26th in attempts and yards. Their defense is really bad at defending the pass, 32nd in pass attempts, 31st in passing yards allowed. 

 

They might be looking past Buffalo this week to the Ravens the following week at Baltimore. One can hope.

Have no fear, the Bills defense is here to save the day.

Steelers loss to the Bears means they have to win at hime verses the Bills. Which means they will want it more. Which means they will have more energy and be more physical than the Bills who don’t seem to get up for games. Which means the Bills will lose.

The Bills don’t have the ability to play physical with anyone, and teams now exploit this.

If I said Lawson to PS on Saturday (or by Saturday) and the IR designation of Spencer opens that spot on active game day up to give us a body at DE... Would anyone think that's crazy?

Herbig and Watt are not the Texans but it's a matchup issue. But against the run it does favor us. 

 

Problem is heyward and benton are tough. Slay and Ramsey are well past their prime but we're not exactly running out reed & lofton

 

Metcalf, porter jr and Broderick Jones might be out or play hurt so that helps....

 

I do think buffalo will pull it out but it's going to be tight. 

 

 

 

 

Buffalo 26

Pittsburgh 23

 

I hate playing in Pittsburgh and have terrible memories there in the mid 90s. 

 

From 93-97 Pittsburgh physically destroyed us

 

The 92 bills team was pretty even with Pittsburgh but we outclassed a younger team Steelers team in the playoffs

I wish I believed that, but the Pegula's already have their money locked in for the first season in both PSL's and tickets.  Even if we lose every game for the rest of the season, people are going to want to get into the new stadium just to see it for the first few years.  After that, I am curious to see how it goes overall with the higher overall ticket prices and sellers trying to slowly recoup their PSLs.  

 

There has been so much hype around this new stadium. Everyone is excited. We arent going to get a home playoff game in the last year of Highmark. Unless maybe some funky stuff happens and we get the Chiefs. Then we go into the new stadium in a new year and we crap the bed again? What a disaster that would be.

[JaCrispy]

I’m taking Pit with the points- everyone knows the Bills don’t show up, on the road…

 

Bills 20

Steelers 24

[Since1981]

A loss to the Squeelers would really sting. Sure, we’ve had games like this before, but this one hits differently. It feels like the problems run deeper than the past years. like we’ve spent the past six years climbing the hill, and down the other side now.

It would be a great bounce back win! Go Bills!

I just saw some random Bills highlights that popped up on social media, and it left me with this thought. I wish Josh Allen and Lee Evan’s played at the same time.

 

Smoke Brown was similar his similar to Lee Evans. Wish we had Smoke in his prime and still here. I believe Shakir could play Beasley role but they don't use him like that.

The Steelers for allocation on that defense is rough! 
 

Maybe it’s a William & Mary thing?!

I've watched 3 or 4 of their games, it's a true "dink & dunk" offense, virtually nothing thrown down field by Rodgers- probably by necessity as their offensive line is horrible ( with a 41 year old QB, not a good combo).

Live and die by the RAC. 

 

Think they said in the Bears game that nearly 3/4’s of their yards are from RAC. May have heard it wrong though.
