    Bill defense will make it nearly impossible to move the ball. I don't have any faith in Fichtner to come up with a game plan to score on these guys. It's inexcusable that he did not have Vance heavily involved in todays game plan. Arizona has been mauled by every TE this year, they are as bad as the Steelers were defending TE's prior to this season. I know Vance left with a concussion but he only had 1 catch up until then and could have used Vannett afterwards, Arizona is that bad at covering them.

    Now you're facing a secondary with no weaknesses to exploit. They will need Conner back for this one, heavy dose of running and dare I say, maybe bubble screens. You thought I was going to say the wildcat didn't you, I better not see any of that mickey mouse stuff, Bills will destroy that.

    I have faith our defense can contain Allen, he's Lamar Jackson light and the Steelers have handled Jackson better than any other team this year.

    Going to be a tough game, I give the Bills the edge since they have a better offense and a defense to match ours.

    Duck is going to have an ugly game next week, Arizona is an extremely generous defense and he could only muster 152 yards. They had the right idea though, limit his pass attempts, only 19.

    Our secondary needs to ice the Bills game. Their success has been with their receivers.

    Have to watch Singeltary too. He just put up 118 all purpose yards against the Ravens. He doesn't score a lot though, down by the goalline, Allen and Gore usually handle the work.

    Yep. Our offense has to step up.

    It would be great if we win the next couple games over Bills and Jets. Probably would have clinched a wildcard with that result. Then for Ratbird game probably neither team needs to play starters and we get a "bye" week too.

    First step. Beat the Bills. Even if we lose, the Titans have a really tough schedule left and we should make up the game. They will probably lose two more games.

    The Steelers offense has to carry their fair share. If the defense is great, but the offense goes 3 and out a lot, the defense will start to wear down. I am looking forwardto the matchup.

    I still stand by my prediction that this will be the game that Mason Rudolph returns to the field.

    Hey Blast Furnace.

    I have been saying this for well over a month now and I will repeat.... Where the "F" are the TEs? I am so frustrated of this BS regarding the TEs. They need to be an intricate part of this "O". Instead they are auditioning for roles in the "Invisible Man". They can, and should be, there for the "O" as a whole and especially for the young QBs on this team. As I have said many times before...."Just Disgusting".

    Doesn't make sense that he would see less work after losing AB and Bell. Plus no Conner and JuJu.

    Ficht needs to go but as long as Ben is on the team, I imagine so will Fichtner.

    All the X's and O's from our standpoint should be tossed out the window. We are who we are at this point. Can't imagine we'll see anything unique from Mr. No-imagination on offense.

    This is the right game at the right time. Both teams fighting for playoff life. Both have something to prove as we haven't beaten a really good team lately and they couldn't topple the beast yesterday.

    This will be the best test for us and it will, or at least should, answer the biggest question for us...are we actually ready for the playoffs.

    I said it before, you have to win the games you are supposed to win and split the rest. That means beating the Jets and splitting between Bills and Ravens. We don't know who is resting who in week 17, so we must beat the Bills.

    I look at the Bills games as a defining one in which the true trajectory of this year can be validated. We win against the Bills and all this talk about this being a fantasy year so far, ends. To me it will no longer be fantasy but a legitimate run to the post season. After each weeks win my post season hopes about double and now we have a more serious challenge that I believe we can win. I believe our speed on defense can contain the Bills offense and keep their QB's head on a swivel looking to avoid a sack.

    Gonna be a defensive game, low scoring...Really like our chances...Murray is probably the 2nd fastest, elusive QB in the league...That is Buffalo's & Allen's bread & butter...I just have a feeling we're gonna batter & harass Allen all game, Thus making him skiddush & bad mistakes...Which he is prone to do anyhow because accuracy is not his strong point

    The bills have one win against a team with a winning record this season. That would be Tennessee. They’re not all that

    It helps that it's a home game. I think we'll win, but it's going to be a super close.

    Bills record is built on a soft schedule. They are a lot like our current team. We have home field advantage and we play on prime time at night. This is when the hangman is coming and opponents get very afraid.

    The Ravens defensive line and linebackers kept harassing the Bills QB. It frustrated the Bills and they couldn't get any momentum. Watt, Dupree, Heywood, Hargrave have to do the same, along with timely blitzes will need to come thru big time. Their defense is a lot like ours, should be low scoring and interesting game. Home crowd should help.
