Game Thread: Steelers @ Bills - Postponed no more! Jan 15, 4:30 pm Kick.

[Janus]

Ok by the 15 second mark, it'll be tough but we might have enough time.

 

[Janus]

Alright so 10 seconds and now were forced for an onside kick

 

[Janus]

Awe shucks if we just had an extra 20 minutes

 

[Janus]

Ok, so, do we get a consolation game next week?

 

[Janus]

Ok fans rally behind me, save our season from the theft of our win, I'm calling for a recount of points, this tabulation is fraudulent, the game was stolen from us, let's fight like hell to save our season!!!

 

[fknhippie]

Nice win by the Bills.

Was that Romo that was so irritating to listen to?

Yes

Minkah had a rough game but seriously on this play how do you defend against Allen's fake slides? All the power to Allen for doing this and getting away with it.

You can't. You give any effort, and you get a roughing penalty for a late hit.

Like here.


The moment a QB initiates in any way a slide, the ball should be called dead at that spot. That's the solution.

 

[Superbelt]

And really, the protection for the QB's when they become a runner is bullshit. RB's don't get that kind of protection, why should QB's? If you want to go past the line of scrimmage, you become a runner, pure and simple. Don't want to get hit like an RB, don't cross the line.

That should be the real solution.

Yeah it is impossible. Unfortunately, the NFL went off the deep end protecting the QB and I doubt they would ever enforce this unless a star QB gets seriously hurt on a play like Jack did. Can't really blame Jack because if he stopped, Allen would have run for another TD.

"Run it anyway!"

This is why the Steelers get blown out in the first half of playoff games. They don't make any adjustments from their pre-game plan until halftime.

Please fucking retire, Tomlin.

Not this mattered but it was pretty obvious the whole game, surprised the NFL didn't try and curtail it.

Also, DJ was wide open in the back of the end zone......

Fans throwing snow in the air when good stuff happened for the Bills made for some memorable tv moments. On the balance the NFL had to like it. But if a Steeler was hit with a snowball while trying to make a play, it probably would have resulted in a spot foul.

Oh yeah, but Rudolph was the lord and saviour and could do things Pickett couldn't.

Trust me not that I think Pickett would have seen DJ but to think Rudolph became this great QB overnight has been laughable.

Trust me no excuse But you would think it would have even if you see that out of the corner of your eye it can cause disruption.

Used to think this was Matt Canada's ego with the offensive gameplans... But nope... Just Tomlin

Canada just held the bag for Mike.

I think they are one and the same. Canada refused to game plan around a team, and that fit perfectly with Tomlin.
The same with Austin on defense.
