    You made a false claim. I posted the correct information. Now you are trying to cover it in a personal attack. Please do better.

    Yes we need to see a step forward from Pittsburgh. I never said the Bills have been an average team. Bills have clearly been very good but the point I was making was that they look to be a team on the slide, distinct lack of star power outside the QB position(and WR1 to be fair), too dependent on ageing players on both sides of the ball and they haven’t backfilled the roster well in the draft from what we have seen, albeit Kincaid looks promising. Their Oline is also well below average.

    Maybe I’m wrong and they win it all this year, we will see, but I wouldn’t bet on them.

    This is what I was trying to tell you, but for some reason, you reacted very differently here.

    I think our players aggressive play helped force a lot of false starts.

    Washington’s size was 1000% the reason for the two goal line pass interference penalties.

    Give credit when it’s due and when our team forced the penalties instead of taking it away from them and awarding the Bills some weak excuses.

    Dare I say Tomlin and his coaching staff are deserving of the applause too? They’ve all made me feel giddy with excitement for this teams future right now. And I know I’m glad that I’m not feeling like a Bills fan today.

    How bout you?

    I know it’s just one draft, but I’d like to point out that there weren’t any head scratching picks in any round like Colbert was always good for.

    I feel like we are standing on firm ground again.

    Rodgers is very much on the hot seat as his legacy is at stake. Yes, he has won a Ring but but that was so long ago; long before he came the Aaron Rodgers we know of today. He is on borrowed time and the Jets Offensive Line has to get better for Rodgers can only do so much alone.

    Pickett is a student of the game like Manning and Brady. I don't think we'll experience two consecutive 6 TDs games with Ben, and then losing to Vick and the Jets the next week like we did in 2014. :facepalm:

    Washington in the end zone reminds me of Shaquille O'Neal in basketball. If the Shaq got the ball down low the only way to stop him was to foul him. When the lob is thrown to Washington the only way to stop it is to interfere him.

    I remember the awful Jets game in 2014.But I blame this game more on Haley for the awful gameplan.Ben had started the game 9-11 for only 24 yards and the steelers were down 17-0 early.Haley had called way too many screen(the reason why Ben had only 24 yards despite to be 9-11) and run in the middle too often even if the jets were awful vs Pass that year.Just a pathetic game but it was not the worst loss of 2014 who is crazy!...The one vs Bucs...:facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:

    IDK man, taking that Herbig kid just because you needed another brother combo on the team may have been a reach. We'll just have to see if another Wisconsin guy can do anything. OK, so in a few plays he disrupts, gets a sack or 2 and a strip fumble, perhaps there is room for him. lol

    I think the brother detail was just icing on the cake for them to seal the decision in their war room. He was a highly ranked player on his own merits. Not sure why or where it sounds like you heard it was mostly a sibling thing.

    But you actually did say Bills were average. Anyways I get your points. I guess we agree they do have aging personnel and likely won't have the same year they had last. At least I am not predicting a superbowl win such as I have seen elsewhere outside of this forum lol

    "All I said was that they have an average roster outside of the QB position"

    That is hardly the same thing as saying they have been an average team in recent years which is what you are claiming I said, or at least that is what your rebuttal argued against.

    You’re talking about performances in recent seasons. I absolutely acknowledge that they have been really good for a couple of years but their roster is weaker now and their window is closing fast for reasons I have already stated and you agree with.

    2021 was probably their best chance as they were going really well then but I don’t think their current team will reach those heights this year.
