Until the Spiller fumble, the Bills front 4 kept the Steelers going backwards. They 100% owned the first quarter, and the special teams play was top notch. Turnovers changed the momentum, and Big Ben showed why he has a couple rings with that 99 yard drive. Cant diss, that was impressive. Buffalo didn’t do well adjusting to the exotic blitzes they got after the first TD and the next drive moving down the field with ease and they sputtered downward. The #1 offensive producer in Jackson is back to true form after his injury and I thought Glenn at LT played fairly well. Overall, they both looked like 2 NFL teams in week 3 preseason form. AKA, bleh.

Dominating from start to finish? Is this why they only mustered 90 total yards in the first 28 minutes?

Regardless, we found out a few things from the game yesterday. One, Vince Young still stinks. Two, Bills still need to be looking for their next franchise QB. Fitz continues to show he can, at best, manage a game. Finally, the 1st Team D looks pretty good.

Bring on the Jets, this Pre-Season stuff is for the birds!

Lots of pressure on the QB Fitz took a couple shots. Some of that can be attributed to playing a good D.. But they only had one drive where the starting O scored. A few bad drops and more then a few bad passes(the blitz contributed to it) I’m hoping they run the ball and play to the strength of the o-line. The Steelers starters on offense were good but they didn’t dominate the defense the Bills had decent pressure and one of the scoring drives started on the Bills 20 due to a turnover. One place where the Bills really got beat was on the edges …watching Antonio Brown made me realize why Pittsburgh didn’t sweat the Wallace holdout

at least were still better then the Yets!!

Both starting teams played the first half and the Steelers had 14 and the Bills had 7. And for the Bills fans who keep flapping their gums, just remember we don’t have Mendenhall, or Mike Wallace playing. Also if Woodley’s hand didn’t turn to stone at the wrong time, your mediocre Quarterback would have thrown an INT.

Third and 9 from the one yard line and we drove all the way down for a touchdown and you guys think you have a team to brag about. Well keep bragging folks to your next 6 win season.

Yeah, it’s preseason…I know, but they can’t even pretend like they haven’t looked like a junior varsity squad. I’m pretty pumped to see how bad this mess gets between Tebow and “Sanchize” lol. What’s funny is they both get a lot of media attention but neither can throw a football. I wonder why? I guess it’s one of those “intangibles” those experts are always talking about, ha!

Leftwich has had a tremendous preseason, throwing three TD passes in limited duty during the course of only two games.
Also, Roethlisberger looks to be in the best shape of his career. Other than that, it was a typical preseason game.
It should be noted that a year ago, after the dismantling of the dream-team Eagles, the Steelers’ offense had looked so unstoppable, the overzealous Pittsburgh media predicted the offense would be the best in franchise history. It finished 22nd in scoring in 2011.
Preseasons are what they are: Meaningless.

All the tricks of Gailey stay in the bag until regular season. Pre-season is no gauge for how a team is really doing, most teams stay away from their original playbook and stick with basics. We will really see how well the NFL teams will be week 1.

No way a team as old and slow as pittsburg can compete with the likes of Baltimore and Cincy. Who does Pittsburg have other than their defenders? Ben is a mediorce talent, never being top 5 in any statistically category and their OL is a joke. Can’t wait to see Baltimore sweep these clowns under the rug this season, they are far and away the best team in the AFCN.

Dude, the Jets are going to be the worst team in the NFL this year. Your team has a grand total of 140 passing yards so far. Andrew Luck threw for 151 just today.

Must be Madden ratings that is based off of. The Miami O-line just recently turned it around. Thanks to Incognito and Pouncey, added to Jake Long that is. The Jets O-Line is a mess. Mangold is the only pillar of consistency there. Ferguson has been struggling, but that’s because he is on his own. Now, NE could possibly now have the worst O-Line in the division, although its close with the Jets. Look at the hits Brady has taken, sure, you may not have the Sacks, but Brady has been tossed in every game he has played. Either way, Buffalo’s stats last season speak for themselves, and they had tons of injuries, so maybe get your facts straight before spewing trash. Especially from a Denver fan.

Someone obviously didn’t watch the game. One TD was on a 18 yard drive due to our #2 back CJ Spiller fumbling. The 98 yard drive had our front 4 sitting out after the 30 yard 3rd and long play at the 1 yard line. Kyle Williams was the best player on the field tonight. He was constantly in the backfield and Dareus was pushing two O-Lineman at once (one of those plays was the DeCastro injury).
——————————

See my comment above — your first-team guys played the WHOLE drive. Dareus and Mario Williams were there for the first plays AND the last. (Sorry you can’t change reality to suit your needs.) Your first-team D got it handed to them on a drive that went the whole length of the field. Maybe YOU guys want to reconsider just who watched the game, and who didn’t?

Speaking of big Dareus, how ’bout how he got absolutely TOOLED by RUNNING BACK Ike Redman on the TD run? Redman was hit a full two-yards before the goal line, but just bulldozed his way through. (Or do you want to claim Buffalo was just playing the scrubs for that one, too?) Go watch the replay. It’s good football watchin’ fun!

The Steelers didn’t dominate, but they were the better team tonight. It seemed as though Fitz was a tad off. He missed throws he usually makes, and that was with no pressure. Stevie looked good, Freddie looked good. The D was solid. Gilmore had a rough night, McKelvin was the best corner on the field IMO. It was 14-7 with 1′s-vs-1′s. The next Pitt score was simply 1st teamers vs. Second teamers. The ST game for both teams was amazing. Multiple punts inside the 10 was crazy. Buffalo’s O-Line is going through some growing pains, to be honest, Cordy Glenn is not a LT at this point in time. Hariston played better there last year, and has struggled on the right side. If they can’t hold up, this team will not capitalize on the hype, regardless of how Fitz, Stevie, Freddie or the D plays. It looks as though Young is being forced to play “Pocket-QB”, there were times when he could have run for tons of yards, but continued through the progressions and ended in a sack, or a pick. If young is forced to do that, regardless of what Gailey thinks, Young is useless to this team. Either way, I don’t normally care about the Pre-season, and still don’t. Week 1 is where it all counts and the Pre-season is for talking heads.

What wasn’t mentioned was numerous passes dropped by Steelers receivers and 5 drives starting at the 20, 20, 11, 5, and 3 yd lines. Bills punter was superb.

I see the Bills’ fans are trying to trivialize the fumble by Spiller as a fluke. Had LaMarr Woodley not coated his hands with grease he would have had 2 easy interceptions of Fitzpatrick and then there would have been 3 turnovers by your ones. So much for the Bills domination of the game.

It was the Bills first team defense that got a 98 yd, 1:38 minute drive stuffed down their throats to end the second half.

Preseason chest thumping by either team is meaningless.

No. Not really. There were backups on the last drive. Several plays in the drive, Kyle and Mario Williams were out, as was Dareus and Anderson. I don’t know what game you were watching, buy Bradham was at LB then also. The Steelers screed on a 17 yd drive against the 1′s. As announcer Steve Tasker observed, the Bills ran a vanilla O to not show the Jets anything, and Buffalo completely dominated the 1st quarter, and the run game.
—————————————-

So what you’re saying is, when it came to Buffalo’s offense doing nothing against the Steelers, well, that’s because it ran a “vanilla” scheme, because you know, it’s just a pre-season game and all. But when it came to Buffalo doing something well, well then it counted — why they (at least in your mind) “dominated the 1st quarter.” Then all of sudden it counts! Never mind maybe the Steelers were running some vanilla of their own, hey! We busted!

Uh huh.
