Minkah injury (and TJ)

TJ and Minkah need some of that deer antler spray Ray Lewis used

 

Both possible game locations may have snowy fields.

 

At the risk of everyone bashing me, I frankly prefer the safeties play without Fitzpatrick.

 

he’s just not built to pound away all game with speed or power this year yet. Still a rookie and probably not where he wants to be strength and size wise. He’s better rotating in for the other 2 when they need a breather.

 

If there is any instability in his knee, that puts his ACL at risk. The Steelers should not allow him to do that.

 

I think they will rotate all three guys. Golden can rush the passer, too, so I doubt they would do it that way.

 

I haven't seen any details other than it being Fitzpatrick's knee, but he said he would be ready to go for the playoff game.

They might have to keep Rowe in the lineup. I imagine we will see a lot of three-safety looks with Fitzpatrick, Kazee, Rowe, and Peterson all getting snaps.

 

This is why dominant OL/DL play is so important. Other teams can't score if they don't have the ball.

 

I think the Steelers can keep this game close and win this game if they can run the ball like they have been doing. The time of possession is gonna have to be around 30-35 minutes which is possible seeing the Bills run defense is very vulnerable. Gonna need to have turnover Josh Allen show up in this game as well which is always a possibility. I’m not ruling out TJ Watt yet either. He is gonna do everything he can in his power to play in this football game if he is able too. So we’ll see what Tomlin says at his press conference on Tuesday.

 

Rowe or Peterson back there may be better than Kazee - was not impressed with him this year

 

I will rule TJ out for us - b/c his brother did late yesterday.

that said, we have depth at that position. Will miss him greatly.

Let's win the first one and maybe he is back the following weekend!!!

 

Peterson is still making the transition and it shows. I think they are much better off with Fitzpatrick and Kazee back, though Rowe definitely has to be in the mix.

 

tj has a grade 2 sprain of the knee was what i heard. i hope minkah is up for the challenge. he hasn't had his best year for sure. rowe has to be on the field as well as kazee. the 3 safety look will most likely be the defense of choice. bringing josh allen down will be key. he's like a young ben, players just bounce off of him.

 

He might have an even better arm than Roethlisberger. The throw he made to Diggs to set up their first touchdown was just sick.

 

Pretty sure Minkah will be back for the bills..
TJ is definitely out this game, and probably next game too, if we have one....

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the playoffs will be Nick Herbig's coming out party (aka baby Watt)

 

YES!

 

i meant just how strong he is as they try to sack him.

 

I get that, but Allen can do things Roethlisberger couldn't, too.
