    Game day: Steelers vs. Bills

    Looking for OL improvement (and guys playing their natural positions) and Wilson to have command of the O. Fields needs to look sharp vs. 2nd team, too, and of course, no injuries.

    What are you looking for?

    Bills have starter injury problems on defense so if the PIT offense struggles, then it's a very bad sign of their progress so far.

    The Bills are dealing with some depth issues at the safety position, with potential starters Mike Edwards and rookie Cole Bishop sidelined due to injuries. With Taylor Rapp being too valuable to risk in the preseason, expect Damar Hamlin to see significant snaps in Pittsburgh. Hamlin had a quiet game in Week 1, so keep an eye on whether he can step up and solidify his role in the secondary.

    With Edwards and Bishop?s availability for the start of the season in question, the Bills need someone to step up. Kendall Williamson, who wears No. 36, played quite a bit in the first preseason game and will need to continue to prove he belongs on the roster. Can he rise to the occasion, or will someone else emerge?

    Linebacker depth
    The severity of Matt Milano?s injury was devastating news, as we now know that the former All-Pro suffered a torn bicep that will require surgery. The Bills will need Dorian Williams to take significant steps forward in his second year, especially with the depth behind Milano being somewhat shaky

      Jones whipped badly at RT to kill first drive. What a waste of a year plus playing this guy out of position.

        Two drives, Wilson not close to what Fields did last week.

            Jones sucks. He's slow and has NO explosiveness now. What are the trainers doing with him?

            Wilson 2 passes completed and 2 sacks. He's worse than the QBs last season.

              Another sack. Wilson is losing this job. Jones getting tooled on the right side, but he has to be able to get away or dump it.

                It's the Mike Tomlin/Canada/Smith offense. Nothing has changed.

                Wilson is a bum 100 sacks the last 2 seasons and 3 sacks on 3 possessions tonight. And you guys thought Pickett was bad.

                This is embarrassingly bad football. The team isn't prepared again.

                    These Tomlin apologists are going to owe Pickett, Rudolph and Trubisky an apology by the end of the season.

                      Jones will be an All Pro LT with his next team. The Steelers are just too dumb not to play guys out of position on the OL.

                          It's one of the reasons I despise Tomlin so much. This has happened way to many times in the last few years.

                            Moore should be playing there. If he can't cut his ass.
