Game week thread - Bills at Steelers

It's funny reading the comments of Steelers fans online.  Pretty much a mirror image of our discussions here.

 

Feels like most games, both fanbases are talking trash & beating their chests.  We're having a doom-off w/ Pittsburgh fans.

 

That feels like everyone in the AFC. 
 

Ravens/Bengals fans were doing the same thing before their game.  
 

Colts fans are dooming after losing to KC and the Daniel Jones injury. 
 

NE and Denver are the only AFC teams legitimately trash talking.

This is such a huge game for the playoff picture.  If Buffalo loses this game there’s a very real possibility they won’t get in

Watching Pitt game today and grass looks good. See how much rain impacts tomorrow but seems like field won’t be huge deal. 

 

They were supposed to resod after the HS WPIAL playoff games two weeks ago.

If they did, that Pitt game being played now would be the first time it's been played on since.

Agreed. 
 

It’s too bad they couldn’t beat Chicago last week as the only positive to a loss tomorrow would’ve been putting them 2 up on Baltimore with 5 to play.   1 up isn’t much to speak of when they still play twice. 
 

Knocking the Ravens into the WC group with us already with a tiebreaker over them and KC would’ve been a slight silver lining.

We complain here, but imagine being the Steelers.

 

Literally nobody takes them seriously. Not even their own fans.

 

They had a 3 game division lead and the Ravens were the betting favorites to win it. Aaron Rodgers and a 3 game lead and everyone was like "meh"

 

New England has a 2 game lead and everyone is putting them in the Super Bowl. 

 

We are going to steamroll them. This is a "McDermott and Beane are great after all" type game where the Sals of the world get to flex a bit post game.

 

Beane might do a "where my haters at!" Style media tour after. 

 

Bills win 45-13

 

 

I admire your attitude. You're probably wrong but you must be very successful in life. I'm serious  ...

How so? They own tiebreakers over some teams behind them

This is a classic “backs against the wall” game for Buffalo.  Love having Josh on our side.

They'll win. It's next week that concerns me, mostly because they will win tomorrow. This team can't seem to stay focused two weeks in a row. It's almost like get excited only by challenging games, like KC or Pittsburgh. If that's the case, the weak schedule has worked against them. Same with KC. Both teams have been dominant for so long and have played so many more games than any other team, they're just no longer hungry. Put them in the playoffs, and they'll shine, is my guess. The trick is getting there, or maybe giving them challenges. Maybe they'll see New England that way, instead of another Atlanta-Houston-Jets-Miami-Saints patsy. I'm guessing they think Pittsburgh is a patsy, too, but Allen will be excited to play against Rogers, and his enthusiasm will spread. In fact, he might be the one with the ennui.

Grable moved to 53 from IR

 

Latu and Spector elevated. Looks like another down game for Kinked-caid.

We had an open roster slot on the 53 to move Grable up from IR?

We do. But in the event we lose to Pittsburgh, we would lose the tiebreaker to both them and Houston, who are closer to us than the Chiefs.

Probably referring to the "snowball" effect. We lose this game and we're 7-5.  Then we have the Bengals with Burrow back, NE and Philly still on deck. With the roster looking the way it is with injuries and lack of legitimate talent the playoffs are not a given right now.

These guys will bring it tomorrow.  Watch.

For whatever reason it is a home/road issue. Bills are 5-1 at home and 2-3 on the road with the only two wins being over Justin Fields and Andy Dalton. They convert 50% of third downs at home, 36.4% on the road. Bills score a touchdown on 72% (4th) of red zone trips at home and 46% (t-25th) on the road. They average 32.5 ppg at home and 23.2 on the road. I could go on.

 

So this will likely be a tougher game than it should and the Bengals game will be a shootout but has a very good chance of going our way.
