Bills-Steelers Predictions with @evancdent, @husaria, @manecci, @mmigliore, @2itb_buffalo, @mack10zie and @Bleez17!

Sit around the pole, air your grievances and get ready for a “they must win all their games and get help or so help me I’m not watching til next week” Bills December like no other. Will the Bills get on the roll they need to finally get back into the playoffs, or will the Steelers kill their hopes dead sooner than a week 17 w/backups? Read below and find out!

Evan, @evancdent. (8-4)Steelers 27 – Bills 13

I’m having a hard time deciding whether the Bills will drag this out and rip off a couple of probably meaningless wins before the end of the season, making a Sabres-like heroic run to 7th place, or just lose this game and make the rest of the season optional viewing. I’m going to go with the second option. The Steelers have weapons on offense that the Bills will simply not be able to stop over four quarters, and the Steelers’ defense has been quietly excellent over the past couple of weeks.

The Bills will probably get a jolt out of the gate from the home atmosphere, and I always expect great things from LeSean McCoy, but the team has simply been unable to put together a complete performance on both sides of the ball for most of the season, and that’s what they’d need to beat the Steelers.

Husaria (@husaria) This election has me super down like the Bills playoff chances. I haven’t played Tecmo Super Bowl in 3 weeks, I have a shitty Overwatch placement ranking, and my extension cord for my Christmas lights is missing. Oh, you expected a Bills prediction? How about the fact that the Bills shut down players wanting to wear BLM stuff at home games. Fuck the Pegulas and fuck this garbage fire of a team, Steelers 69, Bills 0.

Michael Necci (@manecci) – Bills 26 Steelers 21 – I predicted the Bills would go 6-1 in the last 7 games, so I’ll stick with that. I got nothing else.

Mike Migliore (@mmigliore 7-5) – If you’re like me, the holiday season is not the time of year for caroling, decorations, family gatherings, or gift giving, it’s the time of year where I sit and wonder if I’ll ever see the Bills in the playoffs again. It’s the time of year where I’m debating whether or not I need to fire my coach and I’m watching college bowl games to take a look at quarterback prospects. It’s the time of year where I begin to brainstorm a plan to rebuild the Bills and the organization ends up following not a single step of the plan.

The holiday season is back! The Bills being out of the playoff picture by the official start of winter is an annual tradition like Rudolph on TV, milk and cookies for Santa, or whining about Starbucks holiday cups. It’s why I absolutely hate the holiday season.

This holiday season is like so many others – a roster with too many holes to fix, a quarterback who just doesn’t have it, and a coach who continues to be clueless. It’s almost comforting in a way. Like, you can always count on this every year.

The Bills need to tear their organization down to the studs and start a true rebuild from the top down, but they won’t They just extended Doug Whaley and they’re not firing Rex Ryan after season two in town. Tyrod Taylor will probably be back because he does enough to win you 8 games and who are you going to find this offseason that’s better? This would not be my plan, but it’s the holiday season and I know what’s coming for 2017.

Anyway, Pittsburgh will win Sunday in front of the 35,000 Appalachian hill people/Canadians who will wave their yellow hankies in your face for three hours in 30-degree temperatures.

Prediction: Steelers 38, Bills 25

(@2ITB_Buffalo, 4-9): Another week, another game for all the marbles of the Bills playoff push. If we’re being realistic, any playoff hopes were flushed down the toilet in Oakland. While the first two and a half quarters favored the Bills, the Raiders eventually exploited the mismatches and rolled to a rather impressive comeback. I look at the Steelers and see a similar set of mismatches facing the Bills. Le’Veon Bell is a threat as a runner or reciever and Antonio Brown is arguably the best receiver in football.

While it was Kevon Seymour who was exploited by both Michael Crabtree and Amari Cooper, I think Brown’s explosiveness and Bell’s versatility pose a massive threat to the Bills. I don’t think there’s anything you can expect from the offense at this point except maybe failing to move the ball for long spells. If last Sunday wasn’t the final nail in the coffin, this Sunday ought to be. Steelers 29-20.

Mike McKenzie (@mack10zie, 8-4) The line is -2?  Really?  Free money!  Give me Pittsburgh all day.  The Steelers have some of the most explosive weapons on offense, very similar to what we saw last week. While they don’t have the OL of Oakland, they should have little problem scoring, thus ending Rex Ryan’s claim to being a great D coach.  The Steelers D is vulnerable through the air, but this sin;t the team that can take advantage of that.  Hopefully some Tyrod question’s get answered at least.  Pitt 31 Buf 20.

Brett Ludwiczak (@BLeez17, 7-5) Pittsburgh 28 Buffalo 20

Oh look, the Bills go out to Oakland and squander any playoff chances they have. Of course now the Bills will probably beat Pittsburgh and then find a way to piss away a couple more games this year. I’ll watch the rest of the Bills games this year but at this point I’ve checked out.
