    And the Bills have been hot.

    But I also think that the Bills are the most likely of the teams to put up a stinker. Need to get in Allen's head so he puts up one of those soul crushing games we saw around here from time to time.
    He had three RZ turnovers and got stopped on 4th and 1 last night and they won in Miami. We would need like 5-6 TO's, one returned for a score, and maybe a blocked kick.

    There's always a shot, especially in a weather game, but this will be by far the stiffest challenge we've faced since opening day vs. SF.

      We'll see.

      Hopefully we can run to control the clock. Then they'll have fewer opportunities. And a couple of bad turnovers from Allen maybe gives us a win.

      We're the underdogs here. Just like we would be in any of the games.

      I expect that we lose. Hopefully we can keep it respectable. And maybe we can even win.

        Honestly, if we keep it close and don't get blown out, it's a step forward this year. A small one that might get erased if Mason doesn't return, but a step nonetheless. They can't go in there and give up a 40-burger.

          Have to agree

          will likely need players and coaches all on their "A" game to pull this one off

          I feel like we're due for a game like that, but we shall see

            It’s the playoffs. Everyone is 0-0. The Steelers trajectory is up, they finished with 10 wins despite a QB shuffle, injuries and an OC fired mid season. They also went 5-1 in the toughest division in the league.

            Can they get blown out? Sure.

            But can they also dominate the bills? I’m a believer.

            The question I have is if Tomlin will have a strategy or will his roomie out coach him again.

            But I’m not afraid of the Bills nor anyone in the AFC for that matter. I’m pretty sure the Steelers aren’t either.

              Bills have been streaky. Josh os not afraid to throw up some long punts on 3rd and 4th down. He also fumbles a lot when hit in the pocket.

              We need to force him into some early mistakes and take the crowd out of it early.

              Najee and Warren can shut a crowd up. So can Pickens and Mason.

              Should be a good game. I will be furious if we lay an egg on defense.. lol.

              Lets get this W and then beat the Rats.

                Miami are frauds. All season they have been hyped because of that 70 point game but they only beat 1 team with a winning record.

                That Miami team has not shown anything vs good teams that makes me believe they are contenders.

                  Watched most of the game last night. Bills did struggle against a banged up Dolphins defense. Needed a punt return to gather momentum.

                  This game shouldn't be a blow-out.

                  I will tip my hat to Tomlin if he has a winning record and the team makes the play-offs in the upcoming season.

                    They turned the ball over in the RZ three times, but they didn't struggle to move the ball at all -- 473 yards of offense.

                      If we do THAT, I will buy a large photo/poster of Mike Tomlin, have it professionally framed, hang it on a prominent wall in my basement Steelers cave, light it with a picture light, take a photo and post it to the forum.

                        because Miami are frauds. They aren’t that good.

                        All those yards but they needed a punt return to get them going.

                          Neither team impressed me last night. Especially Miami.

                            The Bills are beatable but we have to play an outstanding game with Watt out.

                            Perhaps all those early season games that no one thought we would win and we did instilled something that will allow us to grind out a win in Buffalo

                              Another factor that may have played a part in the game is I think if Miami had won the Bills would've returned for the opening round of the playoffs, I'm not sure either team wanted to play each other for a second straight week.

                                The Bills held Dallas, Miami, and KC to 10, 14, and 17. We're not going up there and laying a 30-burger on them in bad weather. Gonna need a lot of TO's.
