Bills vs Steelers Week 1: The Aftermath

[Ann]

Well, that sucked.

[Foxx]

Tough one.

[Crap Throwing Clavin]

As time ran out, my cat started crying in his sleep.  Even he's pissed.

[SabreKV]

Probably the worst coached game of the McDermott era.

[TakeYouToTasker 2.0]

I’m trying to decide who was worse, Daboll or Allen.

The good:

The defense was much better than expected, although they let the team down on that last scoring drive by the Steelers.
Tyler Bass

The bad:

The offense just did not look in sync.
Daboll's play calling was suspect, at best.

The ugly:

The holding calls. W.T. F?

[Nouseforaname]

Is it still too late to draft a qb? Asking for a friend.

Worse part of this game is either the fins or the Pats will lead the division

Yup. The NE fans will be insufferable. Next week's game is gonna be big for the Bills v Miami.

OL looked really bad. I'm sure that's a function of the Steelers DL, but Josh looked like 2018 Josh.

[GG1]

O out of sync from the get go.  Dawkins is still not in game shape.

 

D played well, but still can’t get to the QB.

 

Time to regroup.

  I've had a bad feeling about this game for days.  Hopefully, the old mantra about using a game like this to motivate and correct deficiencies holds true.  On Allen's part I don't think that he will allow himself to have another off game for a while.

If they start 0-2, I'm gonna be reaaaaaally in a bad place. Complete doompill lol

[Fansince88]

1) moss scratched? 

2) virtually no run game in the first half

3) why are you going deep when the short passes are working

4) oh well. 

5) @TakeYouToTasker 2.0 in case you did not see it: for his grandma. Bass explained that he previously used just one in his final college game and attributed it to her because that particular game was for breast cancer awareness. “I had one [eye black] my last game of my college career.Oct 26, 2020

Defense looked good

Offense looked sluggish, but you also have to consider that Steelers Defense is one of the best in the NFL

Coaching, you can argue the Bills were outcoached.  But again, consider the opposition.  Tomlin is great at second half adjustments

 

The key for me was special teams.  That blocked punt turned the game

Im hoping fins win. Would be best to hit that head on asap. Dont think it will happen because they DO NOT have a qb.

I hope not.

The whole offense look bad. Josh was a bit off, the WRs had the dropsies (although Manual was steady, and KNOX caught all balls his way! ), and the O-line was not... great.

I had a bad feeling about this game starting on Wednesday this week.

I HATE week 1.

HATE.

Right. They will be a full game up on the rest of the division.
