    Ok, there’s so much more. The only thing our offense did all day was a 39 yard TD drive after a Buffalo fumble. Here are the Steelers’ “drives”
    6 plays, 12 yards
    3 plays, 6 yards
    5 plays, 13 yards
    6 plays, 39 yards (the short field TD drive)
    2 plays, 17 yards
    1 play, -9 yards (the fumble TD)
    4 plays, 18 yards
    3 plays, 9 yards
    10 plays, 57 yards (after falling behind 23-7)
    3 plays, 3 yards

    First downs 26-10
    Yards 372-166
    Rushing yards 249-58
    Turnovers were even at 2-2

    Yes, the turnovers were killers (and one of the Bills turnovers gave the Steelers a short TD drive (shorter than the Bills 56 yard drive after Mason’s int). The differential in points off turnovers was only 7 points and we lost by 19.

    The core reason for the loss was that the Steelers were completely dominated in the trenches. Even without the Rodgers fumble, I don’t see how we could have won that game with that mismatch.

    Great breakdown, but you are discounting Rodgers injury.
    I personally wouldn't mind seeing them again at home in the playoffs.

    I wouldn’t mind seeing anyone at home during the playoffs, but I’d prefer the Chargers. I don’t know how likely it is that we could get Jacksonville, but I’d prefer them too. I see a probability of well under 50% of beating Buffalo.

    Yep, I remember you specifically saying that in the @steel machine@steel machine thread predicting the playoff teams before the season started.

    A detailed breakdown about the whole scenario and in my opinion the best post in that entire thread. Bravo Bravo

    thank you

    they were far from anything great last year.

    REFS got them there and then they were CLEARLY EXPOSED in the SB

    I wish the BEST for Pat - I like him and hope he heals and recovers. I wish nothing but GOOD RIDDANCE for Kelce - C-YA!!!!

    Do we trust that the Steelers have solved their run defense problem? Or was that a mirage?
