Steelers vs Bills

Good points. Yeah the Steeler defense is rock solid right now.. Joe Haden who was reportedly washed up is back hahaha

 

They have a much tougher schedule than ours

 

Hey Blast Furnace.

I just went on a "Complete Rant" over in the McDonald looks disinterested thread about this. I do not want to get started again. Just that I am totally Mind-Boggled while totally Pissed-Off as to this situation. It is totally unacceptable! Take care Blast.

STEELWINDS AKA The East Side Kid

 

Close game, but Steelers pull it out with a W. These guys like each and are having fun, no drama , ride or die. Go Steelers

 

The Titans and Texans play one another twice, this coming Sunday and Week 17. They are currently tied for first in the AFC South, so one of them will be taken out of the wild card equation by winning the division. Either they both lose at least one more game or one of them gets swept. The latter would be the best outcome for the Steelers. I'm guessing they split, but the Titans' other remaining game is against the Saints. That could be a wild shootout to that goes to the wire.

The Texans' other remaining game is a little easier. They get the Bucs Week 16.

 

The Bills are a solid team. Nothing outstanding run of the mill good NFL football team this year. The way some are talking we are going to play the 85 Bears and 2000 Ravens D on Sunday. This offense is doing enough to win plain and simple. Its a lot like Bens rookie year, just dont make the BIG mistake and we have a chance with our D to be in the game late with a chance to win. The Bills have not really played anyone, their only good wins if you want to call them good are the Cowgirls, and Titans. The combined wins and losses on their schedule 65-99. I know the Steelers haven't really beaten anyone either besides Chargers, Colts, Rams but their combined wins and losses 81-87 the Steelers have had a much harder schedule. I have said it about the Browns when all the hype was ramping up and everyone giving them a playoff spot, they are STILL THE BROWNS until they prove different. These are still the Bills until they can do it consistently.

Just like the Pats 8-0 didn't play a soul, 2-3 in their last 5 cause they actually had to play a NFL football team not a bottom feeder. I actually think the result would be quite different if the Steelers got the Pats late in the season this year. That offense is just as bad as ours and our D is totally different. The Bills record is inflated with wins against inferior opponents.

 

The Bills OL is weak, the Ravens were hitting Allen constantly. The Steelers play well at home in primetime, I expect a low scoring game.

 

Perhaps it is a good thing that the Steelers have faced so many mobile quarterbacks the last few weeks. They struggled with it the first time against Mayfield, but have done a better job since then. The difference is that Allen will break tackles, something you don't really see from Murray.

 

If the Bills line plays like they did yesterday against the Ravens. Steelers will have a field day with a home crowd.

But Bills D is good, going to be hard for the Steeelers O.

 

Going to be a low scoring slug fest. Turnover and field position are going to be key IMO.

 

The Bills are probably the better team, just due to Allen and Singletary. The Steelers are going to need turnovers to be an equalizer again, as they have been many times this season.

It is important to note that the Bills' schedule is actually weaker than what the Steelers have faced so far. Your comparison also leaves out the offensive line, which is a significant advantage for Pittsburgh.

 

bills fan feel 50/50 and i feel the same way. It's a 50/50 toss up only because of the primetime+home game. Otherwise i give bills advantage. They have a great defense and better offense. We have a terrible offense, splashy defense and pretty good kicker.

 

I think it will be a lot like the Rams game here at home. I expect the defense to once again carry the load and be the difference between the Steelers winning and losing this game. This defense this year has made plays that have won games something they weren’t doing last season. Minkah is due for a big game and a huge turnover. I think both him and Devin Bush come up big this week in this game with the Bills. I like the Steelers something like 21-16.

 

As I have stated before, this will be Pittsburgh's biggest test of the season. Buffalo has a defense comparable to ours and has a more efficient ground game with a more explosive QB to boot. Not an easy contest at all.



No surprise Vegas has this game as essentially a pick em game. Pittsburgh is opened up as 1.5 favorites but I do anticipate that to change later this week. Plenty of time between now and then to find out who has the better chance.

 

Our current team didn't push anyone. We don't resemble the team back then. I have faith we can play with anyone if we don't turn the ball over, but what we did against those three teams doesn't give us much to hang our hats on.

 

Big fear the Bills gonna have duck for dinner. The passing lanes will be a lot tighter then he saw in Arizona.

 

Exactly. Our offense wasn’t hot vs the worst defense and now we are playing a top 5 defense.

 

I like our chances.

 

I think the clock strikes midnight Sunday night ...I love how the defense is playing but like said above about the Bils D ,we're not the 85 bears or 00 Ravens either ..
We can't score on crap defenses so theres that too..
Obviously rooting for a win but it would be more of a pleasant surprise than an expected outcome ..

 

I wouldn't put that advantage in the running game all on the line. The Bills have better backs and Allen is more of a threat, which opens up more running room. Give both teams comparable skill players and the Steelers' line is superior.

Hopefully, the Steelers can do enough against the run and take advantage of Buffalo's shaky pass protection to disrupt Allen enough to keep the scoring low and produce some turnovers. I doubt the Steelers are beating anybody without winning the turnover battle, especially not a good opponent.

 

We need to have a creative game plan on offense. I think the defense will hold its own at home under the lights, but we need to try to do something that teams haven't seen yet or at the very least maybe try to run some play action early to soften up the defense a bit. I think its a low scoring game where the team who comes up with the splash play or two (offensively or defensively) will end up being the team that wins. I think our chances of victory are probably a few ticks above 50/50. maybe 53/47 or 55/45, just gotta show up ready to play.

 

That sounds sweet. I hope so. We can blow up any offense. If they know they will have no time to throw the ball, I would expect a lot of running and quick short passing plays from them.
