Steelers vs Bills Official gameday thread

I really hope that we can pull out a win. However, win or lose I most hope that we play well. I don't want to see a blowout against us and I don't want to see us play like a JV team. That will give me hope for next year even if we lose

 

I can't stand Nantz

 

That is not optimistic. I'm hoping by 5:30 we are 2 scores up.

Steelers Inactives

No. 10 QB Mitch Trubisky (3rd QB)
No. 21 CB Darius Rush
No. 37 S Elijah Riley
No. 40 LB Blake Martinez
No. 60 T Dylan Cook
No. 90 LB T.J. Watt
No. 98 DE DeMarvin Leal

Bills Inactives

No. 13 WR Gabe Davis
No. 20 S Taylor Rapp
No. 25 LB Tyrel Dodson
No. 31 CB Rasul Douglas
No. 59 DE Kingsley Jonathan
No. 70 OL Alec Anderson
No. 98 DT Poona Ford

Dodson is a starting linebacker and Douglas is arguably their best cornerback with White out for the season. Of course, Watt is a much bitter loss, but this helps a little.

 

Jim Nancy, I call him...

 

Then imitate the action of the tiger; stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood.

 

So, Harvin is the punter?

 

Yup. That game last Sunday got them the No. 2 seed, but it cost them two starters on defense for todays' game. Rapp is a reserve safety who normally plays a lot, too.

 

I see no reason why the 7th seed Steelers cannot have the same type of first half that the 7th seed Packers did.

 

Oh God, anyone but him

 

Yes. He's active. Wing is on the practice squad.

 

Surprised to see Darius Rush on there. Injury?

 

Yep, love him for Golf.

 

I can see reasons to argue with this, but damn, I love the optimism. LET'S. ****ING. GO!

 

Then we'll go on to meet them in Vegas and get payback. Got to stop drinking.

 

So all the pressure is off now. The whole a "7th seed has never advanced in the Playoffs" thingy is gone.

 

I don't think so. Remember, they got two starters back in the secondary.

 

The one guy I am most worried about in this game is Harvin.

 

More importantly, he is the holder on field goals - that’s going to be key.

 

I would have set James Peirre then, and not Darius Rush.

 

That’s the spirit coach Cowher!

 

Boy, Leal has been disappointing. Not sure where he fits on this line

 

Just score on every drive except the last one.
