Steelers vs Bills Game Comments

Am I the only one that didn't know Jaylen Warren is Willie Parker's cousin?

You are NOT! LOL

[Ice]

Family resemblance certainly visible tonight

One Hitter for High-smith?

Bills 2nd teamers really had no idea what to do with Mt. Warshington in the EZ at the end of the half. His general enormous-ness pretty much got us a TD we had no business getting. Doesn't show up on a statsheet, but huge mismatch.

"Greg Bell now is the running back in the game, and he... is the running back in the game."

Bob Pompeiani is a national treasure.

Bob Pompeiani is a national treasure.

His call on Warren’s TD was a fumbled car wreck.

What’s his story again? Complete amateur.

[Ice]

Pretty sure he's just the KDKA sports guy and they gave him the preseason play by play.

I miss Edmund Nelson. Not a single mention of the annual Rib Festival in our only home preseason game... sigh.

Nice!

I further submit:

Watt + HIGHsmith as..."puff, puff, give....(then Herbig and Golden)....don't be Fuck'n up the rotation!....puff, puff, give."



I saw the HerBig and Golden OLB rotation referred to as .... The "Big Gold Package".

I saw a mention/ad for it later in the 2nd half.

Well, now I can make Super Bowl reservations. By the way, apparently Nathaniel Hackett is obsessed with Goldmember.

Bills 2nd teamers really had no idea what to do with Mt. Warshington in the EZ at the end of the half. His general enormous-ness pretty much got us a TD we had no business getting. Doesn't show up on a statsheet, but huge mismatch.

Yep

2 1st and goal penalty draws

[Jizz Mop]

Just hope we don’t have to face Matt Barkley again

Shredded us pretty good

I mean we got 3 INTs off of him on 12 passing attempts but man did he light us up

Was surprised not to see those in any of the media grades of the game or the TE position today. Hard to mention the Heyward TD without that context.

As a side note, without Warren's 62 yarder, the RBs averaged a pretty sad 1.8 ypc on the game.

[bradshaw2ben]

We haven’t started a game this fast in 4 years; preseason or not.

There was that Philly preseason game like this where Ike Taylor had a KO return for a TD. Last time I can remember.

As usual you and the other yabobs lack context

In the 1st half numerous times Barkley and the Bills made big plays in the middle of the field

I feel fairly certain that area will be a weak point for this team

[bradshaw2ben]

Man, it's only a preseason game, I know it means nothing, but KP and co sure looked sharp.

Is Buff super rusty and sloppy or did legit pressure causes penalties?

The Steelers undoubtedly looked sharp and ready to roll… I’d say Buffalo wasn’t ready for that intensity. Maybe they haven’t been practicing at the intensity level the Steelers have? Don’t know. It seems like fewer and fewer teams play hard/at game speed in the preseason. I think it’s hard to do that and then turn it up week 1.

Are you taking away the long run? Just asking for a friend.

You're still belaboring that? He had three INTs and a fumble.

Well, now that I know they're cousins, Warren can get the Parker treatment, too lol

is he really?

I’m not sold on KP. Not even close………..

……….but sure am getting encouraged.

That TD to Pat was a throw him open big boy nfl strike.

Not even close to being sold?

That'll change soon. Real soon.

I think this team took the shots to the gut they took last year personally, and came into the offseason determined to put in the work to improve and do better. It's been pretty visible across the board, really, and it was fun to watch how gelled and together this really very, very young team is last night. There were a lot of moments where you could have mistaken the atmosphere and enthusiasm for a college or HS team. Was palpable, and refreshing to watch.

[Greeksteel]

I wasnt high on KP when we drafted him, but between the last few games pf last season and this pre season im close to being sold that we can do some playoff damage with him, im less sold on tomlin and canada getting out of the way enough to allow that to happen

There's never, ever been a question of Tomlin's ability to team-build and create enthusiasm--- that's his strong suit. Getting out the way on offense is the thing he hasn't 100% been able to do, especially vs quality opponents.

I don't take much from the end of last year. It seemed like a team no one took too seriously playing hard for its coach vs beat up and given up teams missing key players. Sure, he made some plays no one can take away from him. Honestly, he's been more impressive in preseason, albeit with a teeny tiny sample size. The Tampa game, though didn't really show much. They're a terrible team. Buffalo looked like a good team not really playing/gameplanning like it mattered to them.

And the playoffs are a long way off. But, absolutely certain that IF they attacked on offense like that in games that count, it'd be about 15 times more fun to watch them. But I remember an offense with the league's best OL, peak Ben, & AB/Martavis/Bell/Miller that rarely started games by attacking... they played attrition football except for when their QB was playing out of his mind and nothing else was working. Tomlin is going to have to prove that it's not a preseason tease, and he might even have to prove it in the playoffs before I believe.

i cant really disagree with this, especially the part about tomlin

The Olde Willie Parker Rule.

If this had not happened then the stats would be different argument. It gets 'em 40% of the time every time......
