    Given the last two games, I think Conner becomes a focal point early in an attempt to establish the run. Hopefully, it works better than it has recently... I'm optimistic but I'm thinking 16 rushes for 97 yards and a TD. Thoughts?

    FWIW, I think a huge part of Pittsburgh's problems recently is the lack of Conner's presence. He's not an All-Pro guy but he's a safety blanket for Ben who keeps drives going more times than not. He's an easy check-down on second-and-third down. I'm excited about his return!

    I'm glad he's back as well. Steelers seem to have no faith in Snell. Hopefully we will see a more balanced attack this week.

    I'm not expecting much, honestly. I'd love to see him have a monster game, but based on his history, I wouldn't count on it.

    I'm not optimistic that they can scheme running plays. I also have doubts that they think they can just throw their way out of trouble. If there were fewer dropped passes, they probably beat Washington.

    I'll say 11 carries for 36 yards.

    Bills have a good secondary. Steelers will need to run if they want to win.

    It doesn't matter who is running the ball with our play calling and blocking. If the Skins knew what plays we were running and stuffed the run, you really think Conner makes a difference if he played or against the Bills? Is there magic involved here? Definition of insanity comes to mind.

    I expect him to have a good game. I'm guessing 15 carries 85 yards. Add a few catches to that and he will have 100+ total yards from scrimmage. The Steelers don't have a good #2 RB and we've seen the drop off with Conner being gone. I know there are a lot of people who dislike Conner around here, but if he can stay healthy, he makes this offense a different team. We need him.

    Let me just throw a couple of stats out there: Bills are tied for 28th in the NFL in yards/rush against at 4.7. They're also tied for 28th with 16 rushing TDs allowed. They are also 32nd in the NFL at giving up rushing first downs at 31.7%. Washington is in the Top 10 in all of those categories.

    Thinking 47 yards, but with Pouncey back, I'll change it to 48 yards.

    So I can expect our offense to completely dominate on the ground this game. Great, for a while I was worried.

    Umm. MT hardly game plans against specific teams weaknesses. I look for Conner to have about 15 carries tops.

    18 carries, 77 yards, 1 rushing TD
    5 catches, 44 yards

    Conner may impact the pass game even more than the run game, both as a receiver and as a pass protector, which can allow us to go downfield more.

    I think the Steelers get behind early & hope they can catch up.

    I won’t have to post my silly for the love of gad rant this week to the disappointment of many. The Bills are susceptible to the run and Conner has fresh legs. Look for a big Steeler run game!

    So it is written, so it shall be done.
