ET80 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 59 minutes ago, Trentwannabe said: Yeah that is a tough match-up on the road for the Saints. I have the Titans getting that game, splitting with Houston and beating the Raiders this weekend to get the 6th spot at 10-6. Splitting with Houston is just about assured, if not wishful thinking for Houston. Tannehill and the Titans WRs are tailor made to decimate the Texans secondary. Titans secondary is capable of taking Will Fuller out of the equation and limiting DeAndre Hopkins. I never thought I'd say this - and I'm sure many people never thought anyone would say this - but this game comes down to Bradley Roby, Gareon Conley, Vernon Hargreaves III and Jacob Martin playing above their careers to this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills are 3rd in both Yards Per Game Allowed and 3rd in Points Per Game Allowed. And this is over 12 games not 10. If that’s how we are gonna play it, let me take out the Bills worst two defensive games of the year and they probably are #1 across the board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Week 17 and the wildcard would be back to back games in Houston Just lay down and die Week 17 while studying their gameplan. Then stay in Houston so it’s lesser of a road game.

VigilantZombie Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 52 minutes ago, dtait93 said: It doesn’t matter how you spin it. If Buffalo’s averaging 47 more yards rushing per game they have a significantly better running game than you and it’s not even a discussion. “Talent” doesn’t matter if it isn’t producing. To say they’re rushing attack isn’t much better than yours is black and yellow tinted glasses at it’s finest. And nope never guaranteed we’d beat them at all. In fact, that’s not even close to what I said. I said we wouldn’t need to sweep Houston if we found a way to beat NO and OAK. Nice try though Not trying anything. I was posing a question and you can spin your narrative however you want. Its Tennessee they're bound to let you down. Since Minkah came to Pittsburghs roster they have had the best defense in the league. 2 teams are getting more pressure than us, Buffalo isnt one of them. 1 team has more Interceptions than us, Buffalo isnt one of them. Our first 2 games, more specifically our game against NE really skews the stats. Our running game has greatly improved over the last few weeks it'll only get better when Conner comes back. It should be a good game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is over the last 10, and since we got Minkah, which more accurately reflects how the team is doing now. Taking out the worst 2 of the bills from anywhere in the season isn't the same.

Taking out the worst 2 of the bills from anywhere in the season isn't the same. And you can also argue not letting teams get yards or points is by far more important than anything else. That’s kind of the point of defense right? Not letting teams score? If you factor in strength of schedule compared to the 49ers, Patriots, and Steelers, Bills have been 100% the toughest team in the league moving the ball on.

This started by you making the assertion that Pittsburgh would have to fall off a cliff in order for us to jump you in the standings. And that’s false. All it takes is for you guys to finish 2-2 and us finish 3-1. Which is entirely realistic and involves no falling off of cliffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you provide adjusted stats to back that up? Steelers have the worst offense out of all the teams mentioned so I'm curious how much that has effected things. I would also say that yards are largely irrelevant compared to points and turnovers when not given context. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills and Steelers are playing good on defence, the SNF game should a good one. It would be nice if teams with top defences had an affect on the playoffs , I am so tired of all the offensive hype from the media in recent time and how the rules cater to the offensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
