We Will Get Blown Out by the Bills at Home

[Tubbs1518]

1 name......Fred Jackson. Most underrated player in the NFL. I'd put his as a top 5 back at this point in the year, him, AP, MJD, McFadden, McCoy. Fred Jackson is a man, Steve Johnson is becoming elite, they have good TEs, and the D has an identity now. I see no real glaring weakness on this team.

We have little chance against a strong offense. Buffalo has one. It is possible they will suffer a letdown coming off the New England win, but I doubt it matters.

maybe now that the Steelers are having an off year we won't sell out that game.

They're still 2-1 and tied for 1st place.

They just beat 2 teams who some folks think were attempting to lose games discretely for the services of Andrew Luck, and barely at that. Pittsburgh fans have got to be a little concerned.

oh, no doubt. Just pointing out that a down year for Pittsburgh is a few close games and a tie for 1st.

I really don't think they make the playoffs. I see Bal winning this division. and the wildcards IMO will either both come from the east or one from the east and one from the west.

Oh, I agree, our D has lost a step and the OL is a shambles. I see a 9-7 missing the playoffs this year. But to suggest that a down year means we won't show up in droves, well...

I'm not trying to take anything away from Buffalo, but what makes you so impressed? Do you really believe that Ryan Fitzpatrick is now an all-pro? Why do you believe in their roster this season, when you didn't last? Did they really add something that made you stand up and believe?

I'm shocked they have been as good as they have..... But I'm not crowning their asses just yet.

From the little I've seen of the Bills, their offense just looks dynamic. It doesn't seem like Fitzpatrick is as good as the system and the pieces around him are great. I don't see his production falling off from that alone. Average QB in a great system.

 

[Tubbs1518]

Fitzpatrick is good enough that in that system with those weapons he can look like an all pro. Fred Jackson is a beast. Top 5 back in this league right now. He can do everything, catch, power, speed, block, elusive. Steve Johnson is playing like an elite WR, David Nelson is playing like a big time WR, along with those TE's.

I was able to buy tickets to a CIN/PITT game years ago, there were many PITT fans there, but obviously not a sell out if I was able to get tickets at the last minute. it was from a scalper, but there were lots of empty seats, more PITT fans than bengal fans, and the game was obviously not on t.v., it was blacked out, which is what concerns me. So to say that its crazy the game won't sell out prior to the blackout deadline would be incorrect. Thanks for your opinion though.

yea, the Steelers schedule does look easy, 9-7 is possible, even though Steelers are clearly due for a changing of the guard.

What the Steelers need is exactly a changing of the Guards, to some talented ones. That O-Line kills that team year after year.

lol, well played.

 

[Tubbs1518]

Haha, I mean you'd think they would look at the last few years and see how well Pouncy worked out for them and be like hmmmmmm, maybe we should invest in some more really good O-Linemen. I just can't figure out why the team that seems to draft so well never drafts O-Linemen.

 

[vancelot23]

They like drafting defense early.

NFL.com news: Lewis says Bengals' turnaround will begin this week vs. Bills

We noticed this wild eyed crazy statement from the press conference posting, now the media is running with crazy marvin's "guarantee" lol.

lewis has much credibility all the sudden. Maybe Simpson's drugs were for Lewis.
