If Watt was playing you could take 4 points off of that

With Magic Mason at the helm I don’t see how we lose.

Not in the real world.

Steelers averaged 145 rushing ypg for the last 10 weeks. 2nd best mark in the league. They can win that way. Mason just makes a play here and there and we can win if the run game wins. That’s what I’ll whisper myself to sleep with.

It sucks that we have to go in there without Watt. If he was playing I think it might be a decent game.

Without Watt, my pronouns for this game are He/Herbig.

ESPN is giving us a .4% chance of making the Superbowl.

[polamalubeast]

For this game,maybe they will not win but their chance are much better that it was back in 2021 vs KC....I think the steelers will be at least competitive in this game.The Bills have a 5 games winning streak but 4 of those was by a one score game,2 of those was vs Chargers and Pats and every of those game was very important for the Bills

The injury of Watt is terrible and this is huge,but at least the depth at this position seems to be much better that last year when Malik Reed was our starter when Watt was down

Last time we face the Bills in the playoffs(1995)

Allen always thinks he’s better than everyone on the field, on every play. And he’s right about 90% of the time. The problem is the other 10% when he becomes careless due to his overconfidence. The Steelers need to be opportunistic in those situations and turn the ball over. They also need to limit the damage during the other 90% when is is throwing it all over the field and running everywhere.

Allen was the leader this year in the NFL in TD (passing and rushing combined) but I believe he was also the leader in turnovers!

The steelers defense are good to bend but not break

This is back when men played football. No blue medical tent, no QB's made of china. Got hurt like Jim Kelly, head to the locker room, rub some dirt on it, spray some Windex on it and back in!

And that blown call giving us a TD ... horrible and not even close.

A repeat of that would be nice…

[vasteeler]

I'm hoping it will be close but I'm kind of expecting to get out asses kicked. That's ok though, I never even thought we'd have a chance to qualify for the playoffs three weeks ago. 145 rushing yards per game over the last 10 weeks is huge. If Mason can continue to be the game manager that he has been and the if defense can step up without Watt there might be some chance. I'm just glad I get to watch my squad for at least one more week.

Here we go Steelers

Here We GO!!!

[Steeler-in-west]

I’ve got that 1989 postseason feeling

[El-Gonzo Jackson]

Yeah, I think the Steelers gameplan has to be old school ball control and shorten the clock. Hopefully force some turnovers and score off those, as the Bills are the more talented and likely healthier team with the better QB.

The reality is that this Steelers team doesnt have what it takes to win the Super Bowl this year, so its just a matter of enjoying the game and effort as much as I can as a Steelers fan.

[JimHarbaugh'ssoakedtissue]

The Bills no longer beat you with Diggs, Don't let them establish a run game and keep them one dimensional and that is where Josh will try to do to much and make mistakes. Play Kincaid tight and this could be the Steelers problem more so than Diggs and Porter should keep him in check.

[polamalubeast]

The steelers need to force the Bills offense to be patient since the more plays the Bills need to have a scoring drive the more likely Allen will have some turnovers

Last season in our 38-3 loss in Buffalo,the Bills had so many big play,like a 98 yards TD on the 3rd play of the game....

[Rotorhead]

I don’t expect a victory. I think it could have been close if TJ was playing. If we can limit the big plays and get GP involved we can make a game of it. Rushing for over 100yds for Najee will be key, as will getting better protection for MR. If we can hit on a couple big plays, who knows what will happen. Hopefully MFF will be available.

I dont think that we will see Porter on Diggs, as Diggs is to quick of a route runner for a big CB like Porter. Honestly I think we should hope for snow as the Bills have quicker skill players like Cook, Diggs, Shakir, Kincaid, Knox than the Steelers have in coverage. On a dry track, those guys will find holes in the LB and Secondary.

If I am the Bills defense, I load up against the run and make the Steelers beat you with Rudolph and play a lot of man and bracket Pickens, or Quarters coverage. Rudolph generally throws to his first look, so those DB's will look to be close and Poyer and Hyde will look to jump the routes.

I dont like the chances, but will be hopefully an entertaining game.

[bendsteel]

Gotta paint a big red X on the injured shoulder of Allen's. Couple of good big hits there and he will get T-rex arms.

[The Bark]

The Bills are my 2nd favorite team. I've seen a number of games there, having gone to UB, including Steeler games when we referred to it as Heinz Field North. I've also watched most of the Bills games this year. The Steelers, even without Watt, have a legitimate chance, provided they pressure Allen, don't turn the ball over, and stop the run between the hash marks. Aside from the Steelers, no other team has been as decimated with injuries as the Bills. Allen is their greatest threat, true, but he's also their greatest weakness when he gets pressured. Blitz the hell out of him and he'll be turning the ball over.

At least a couple points. But I thought Golden played pretty good. He might suffice.

A snubbed DPOY does those sort of things.

Feeling generous with the Steelers points I see.
