It's the Bills

[fordfixer]

Steelers 2 Bills 0 ( it could happen)

I think we'll pretty early on in that regard. If Steelers come out and can run the ball like the team has been doing the past month or so then it's game on but if the Bills shut that down or slow it down significantly I think we could be in for a long afternoon. I don't see an offense that will make much in the way of adjustments if that doesn't work. I think that's pretty much what the game will come down to because the Steelers are not going to win in a shootout and if the Steelers can't control the clock and move down the field by running it then that's probably game.

The Bills D is overrated. I stand by that. If Im wrong the Steelers are screwed. But I think MR has a clean pocket most of the day. Give MR time and I think he can hurt you if Tomlin doesnt play Marty ball. While MR isnt Brady he is playing pretty good. And if Harris is running and MR has a clean pocket the Steelers will have a solid chance to win this game.

Allen is a playmaker. Full stop. He takes chances just like any great QB. He makes up for his mistakes more often than not.

which is why we have to take advantage of any chances he takes that result in a turnover.

Bills gave the ball up 3 times and Miami scored a total of 14 points. You have to make them pay for those mistakes.

I do realize 4th down bombs and 3rd down hail mary?s are like punts but grind those out into points and its much harder to overcome.

I guess we'll have another comparison between KP and MR after this game.
Let's hope it turns out better than Pickett's 327 yards, 0 TDs, 1 INT, 3 sack game vs BUF last season.
(and BUF had no problem making the Steelers one dimensional with a combined NH+JW = 44 yards rushing.)

If they can do this to us, I think we're screwed either way.

I think we have to limit the number of possessions they get.

Yeah, I would hope a 6-year vet might be able to do better than a rookie making his first start after getting no 1st reps in the offseason.

What game did you watch? Our defense made the game 1 dimensional.

3 plays. 98 yard TD to Gave Davis
1 play 68 yard TD to Gabe Davis
2 plays another TD

I know.. going 3 and out made the D so tired they couldn’t cover 1 player.

Regardless of how the offense does early on our defense cant give up easy TD’s.

In the blink of an eye it was 31 to 3 at halftime. Thank goodness they missed the FG after we fumbled the first kick off return. Yes, we fumbled on our first kick returned. Just all around bad football.

Allen completed 20 passes for 425 yards and 4 TD’s. We cannot have another meltdown early on.

This.

Need a good start on both sides of the ball.

Have to rattle Allen so that he's out there trying to play superman.

And BUF defense went into prevent and the Steelers still couldn't crack the EZ.

Allen has gotten like 4 running TD and Mason is not very mobile. Without watt Allen's going to use his legs to make things interesting. Hopefully they hit him hard early and make him think about it

Not bad, it be more about the wind, IMO.

If the wind is anything like we've had for the past two days, huge advantage Allen and his arm. And pretty much forget about throwing deep balls. This wind is ridiculous.
