Official Bills vs. Pittsburgh Game Thread

[Shiny Chicken]

Hey, I haven't started one al year :D

Given the importance of this game, this should be a fun thread to follow... I think I'm gonna be headed out to a bar, though... the ******s at the CBS station in Albany are playing the Jets v. St. Louis game instead of the Bills game :mad:

[SABuffalo786]

I'm so ****** pumped for this game, it's not even funny.


Buffalo Ex-pats brought it like it was the AFC Championship game at Pro Player on December 5th when the playoff picture looked pretty dismal. We're on the doorstep of a playoff run this city has been thirsting for ever since No Goal. I don't need to tell any of you that if we don't shake the Ralph to its core tomorrow, we can't call ourselves real Buffalonians.

Our boys have been giving it everything they've got on the field for the past month, and we must equal that effort in the stands. Win or lose, they deserve no less.

[clumping platelets]

Time to get ready. Gotta pick up :eb: at 0900 hrs :ontome:

[SABURZFAN]

[illusionone]

We are going to win this game and get into the play-offs

Better bring ear-plugs if you've got sensitive hearing---the crowd will be thunderous today.

All set! Breakfast at Lucky's...then off to the game!

[FTG]

Hows the wind up there today?

[Ebenezer]

Hows the wind up there today?
looking out the back window right now and I would say less than 10 mph...almost calm...suppose to get a little worse later.

[Billz_fan]

Im watching at home on Direct Tv. I havent felt like this in ages it seems :nervous:

GO Bills :up:

[Topdog]

I remember after the 4 th game of the season, everyone here had just about thrown in the Towel! Drew was the pits, MM should be fired, the defense suched................... Wellllllllllllllllllll

I remember telling Honey not to cave in, THE SEASON WAS EARLY!.

Well here we are and the Bills got a SHOT!!!!!!

:gobills:


GOOD LUCK BILLS!

morning topdog. Are you guys getting the game?

[illusionone]

Half hour till game time

:gobills:

I will be watching on the NFL, scores, game stats :-( and on this post :-)

[BillsOwnAll]

im getting nervous 20 minutes till gametime.

[pyrrhonist]

Well, this sucks. Last week, I was pumped, expecting to see the Bills vs SF, since I'm in CA. I didn't get to see it. After 15 weeks (Ok, 14, if you take the bye game away) of seeing a 49ers team that has ZERO chance of making the playoffs continually broadcast, they take them off the air 1 week. I figured that Fox had wisened up, and was going to stop showing them. WRONG. They're back on TV this week, to be destroyed by the Pats. I'm going insane. :crazy:

Here's my gaming slate here in CA (On DISH):

49ers vs Patriots
Jets vs Rams
Jax vs Raiders


Yay!! :loser:

[gr8fuldad13]

this is quite nervracking......................let's go buffalo

[FTG]

Half hour till game time

:gobills:

[Mr. Miyagi]

New England (Massachusetts)

I got the Bills game on TV and the Jets game on NFL.com!

[toughluck]

does anyone know what radio station will carry the bills game in eastern new york?? (albany area)

[FTG]

Here we go. I'm glad we get to play D first

[pyrrhonist]

I've got the Jets & Rams here. Here comes Chad to the field.

[Mr. Miyagi]

Nice! Don't let them get more than a couple yards!

[Mr. Cynical]

Don't get the Bills game but am watching the Jets. Will keep everyone posted with any major events....

[DaBills]

Time to beat up on Maddox.

[Mr. Miyagi]

DOWN HE GOES!!!!!!!

[pyrrhonist]

Incomplete pass. But here comes the red flag.

Man, did the 'Fins get on the board fast, or what!!

[DaBills]

Hmmm. Run up the gut on Buffalo. ALWAYS A BAD DECISION!

[Mr. Miyagi]

3 and out! 1st punt in 23 possessions for Pitt??

[Mr. Miyagi]

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????????????

[Mr. Miyagi]

What's up with Nate's butterfingers? :mad:

[FTG]

You idiot Clements.

[Mr. Miyagi]

SACK!!!

[DaBills]

We'll be allright.

[pyrrhonist]

Damn NFL.com.....how confusing.

The Jets are marching.

[Mr. Cynical]

Chad looking good early. :(

[FTG]

Way to kill the great momentum Clements. This sucks

[Mr. Miyagi]

The Jets going on a nice drives. :mad:

[Mr. Miyagi]

3rd and 13 for the Jets. :mad:

[Mr. Cynical]

Chad is sacked..4th down! Rams D is pumped up...good to see.

[illusionone]

Don't worry, we will hold them to a FG and Drew and Crew will score on their first drive :gobills:

[FTG]

gotta hold them to 3 here.

[illusionone]

3-14-NYJ 46 (11:42) C.Pennington sacked at NYJ 35 for -11 yards (B.Fisher).

[Mr. Miyagi]

An INT would've been nice.

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Hi, all! Just got here. What's with the defense? Clements needs to do a better job to live up to his nickname today. LET'S GO BILLS!!!

[Mr. Miyagi]

I'll give them the 3. :up:

[Devin]

crap I missed kickoff did pitt have a hell of a return or something?

[LifetimeBillsFan]

3-14-NYJ 46 (11:42) C.Pennington sacked at NYJ 35 for -11 yards (B.Fisher).
Yeah, he's made a couple of good plays already. Seems like he's trying to help his old team out today.

[Mr. Miyagi]

No we held them 3 and out and Clements fumbled the return.

[illusionone]

Hi, all! Just got here. What's with the defense? Clements needs to do a better job to live up to his nickname today. LET'S GO BILLS!!!

The defense has come up huge, twice already...Clements fumbled the punt return and gave them the ball on our 25 yard line

[pyrrhonist]

The Rams came to life on those last 2 plays.

Great recovery by the Bills, holding Pitt to 3. Let's go, offense!!

[Devin]

oh ok was sort of confused. Thanks for the update.

[FTG]

ok offense..............we need to answer

[Mr. Cynical]

Ram O looks like ass. :mad:

[LifetimeBillsFan]

oh ok was sort of confused. Thanks for the update.
Me, too. Thanks!

[illusionone]

intresting that the steelers came out with the no huddle

[Devin]

sigh.

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Let's go offense....let's get those points back and more. LET'S GO BILLS!!!

[illusionone]

sigh.

I bad run. 1 bad throw

[Devin]

woohoo. Damnit.

[FTG]

Burns totally just missed that blitzer :rolleyes:

[FTG]

OMG...................we are playing like idiots so far. 2 bad special teams plays now

[Mr. Miyagi]

Burns totally just missed that blitzer :rolleyes:
That was Burns? That loser. :mad:

[Mr. Cynical]

Burns totally just missed that blitzer :rolleyes:
This is what I was afraid of. Lebeau knows Drew and is the king of Blitzburg.

[LifetimeBillsFan]

UGH! Not a good start for the offense.....

[Devin]

we are on a roll. On the plus side jets just lost like 15 yards.

[illusionone]

Alright, we all need to settle down...

It was only 1 series, we WILL WIN this game today


I BILLIEVE

[Mr. Miyagi]

FUMBLE RECOVERED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :clap:

[Shiny Chicken]

[FTG]

Yeah Baby. At least the D came to play

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Alright, we all need to settle down...

It was only 1 series, we WILL WIN this game today


I BILLIEVE
And, so does the team. Seems like they have come out a little tight. They just need to relax and get a stop here and get back into playing their game.

[Luisito23]

GO BUFFALO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I BILLEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[illusionone]

ever notice that when clements makes a bad play, shortly after he redeems himself somehow

[MustWin]

ANOTHER TAKEAWAY BAYBEE!

[LifetimeBillsFan]

ALRIGHT! Way to go D!!! Let's make the most of it now, offense!

[Mr. Miyagi]

Nice patient run Willis!!!!!!!

[Luisito23]

[Luisito23]

Jets 3 rams 0

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Wills came to play too
You can say that again.

Unfortunately the Jets just put up 3 on St. Louis---Let's go Rams!

[Devin]

Special teams is gonna screw the pooch today.

[pyrrhonist]

Willissssssss!!

Let's hope there's more of that in store.

[FTG]

special teams is off to a terrible start. They owe us a return TD to make up for it :up:

[Mr. Miyagi]

My 2 girls and wife are yelling with me!!!

BILLS FAMILY!!!!!!

[Shiny Chicken]

Willis certainly came to play!

[FTG]

McGees been burned twice

[Devin]

Nice job D...pfffff

[Alluro]

this is a battle...damn, i wish they would just roll over and die today

[Mr. Miyagi]

DAMN! :mad:

[FTG]

:rolleyes: total confusion there. No one even bothered to cover randle-el

[Devin]

*&#^@$%

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Gotta stop them here. LET'S GO D!!!

[chernobylwraiths]

Well, Clements made a redemption play, now it is time for a McGee redemption play.

[illusionone]

i'd like to go right into the no huddle here

[LifetimeBillsFan]

this is a battle...damn, i wish they would just roll over and die today
Unfortunately it appears that that won't be the case, so the Bills are just going to have to strap it up and win this one for themselves! They CAN beat this team. LET'S GO BILLS!!!

[Mr. Miyagi]

COME ON DREW!!! :mad:

[FTG]

OMG...................way to go Drew. Ahole

[Devin]

WTF

[illusionone]

WTF happened ???

[Devin]

jackass.

[Alluro]

drew bledsoe lives up to his big game billing once again :(

[LifetimeBillsFan]

WTF!?!! Bledsoe......! UGH!

[FTG]

WHY THE HELL ARE WE PLAYING SO FAR OF THE WR!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mr. Cynical]

Welcome back Drew. :rolleyes:

[Alluro]

Drew Bledsoe in a big game? brilliant !!!

[illusionone]

Again..

Lets settle down...

:gobills:

you guys wine like mules......

We are going to win this thing dipite our 1st qtr issues

[FTG]

WTF happened ???


stared down the TE and the LB just stepped in for an easy INT.

[Devin]

gonna be another long day for our D. Swear to christ im gonna break something.

[Mr. Miyagi]

We better win this damn game. Worry about the Jets and Broncos later.

[illusionone]

We need a turnover right here, or at least hold them to 3 points

[Voltron]

Welcome back Bills :sad:

[FTG]

Again..

Lets settle down...

:gobills:

you guys wine like mules......

We are going to win this thing dipite our 1st qtr issues


Excuse me! When they do stupid things I'm gonna *****. Maybe we will still pull it out but our guys better pull thier head out of thier asses first

[Mr. Miyagi]

I'm exhausted already. :ill:

[Alluro]

jets are slicing through the rams...grrrr. Not looking good guys

[Voltron]

jets are slicing through the rams...grrrr. Not looking good guys
:madcurse:

[Voltron]

NICE!


Go Big Pat!

[FTG]

jets are slicing through the rams...grrrr. Not looking good guys

they sure are. Rams look terrible.

[illusionone]

Hold'em back boys :gobills:

[LifetimeBillsFan]

...but our guys better pull thier head out of thier asses first
And SOON! The Steelers are a team that likes nothing better than playing from the lead. We've got to hold them to 3 here. It's time for the Bills to wake up--especially Bledsoe!

[Mr. Miyagi]

Great job holding them to 3

[illusionone]

Nice job D

[Voltron]

Man Our D can't keep this up all day Drew! :sigh:

[Mr. Miyagi]

Jets 3rd and 13 at STL 33

[illusionone]

I would like to see us get good field pos here

[LifetimeBillsFan]

It's time for the STs to make an appearance and make up for the mistakes they made earlier in this game!

[illusionone]

ok, maybe not on the field pos

[pyrrhonist]

I'm guessing Doug Brien is our favorite kicker in the NFL right now, since he cost himself an opportunity to kick a 52 yard FG.

[Mr. Miyagi]

Jets got nothing! :up:

[Mr. Miyagi]

COME ON!

[Voltron]

Damn this D is nasty :scared:

[Mr. Miyagi]

Moulds should've had that catch. Lost concentration. :down:

[FTG]

3 and out :rolleyes:

[Devin]

wow we gave our D a wopping 1:45 to rest.

[LifetimeBillsFan]

That was NOT what the Bills needed at this point! Come on, LET'S GO BILLS!!!

[FTG]

Field posistion has been a joke so far. Our D needs to make a big play and turn this game around NOW

[Luisito23]

TD RAMS

[Voltron]

wow we gave our D a wopping 1:45 to rest.
:shakeno:

[Devin]

Least Bulger is lighting it up now.

[chernobylwraiths]

Touchdown St. Louis! 7 - 3

[Billz_fan]

ugh , this is gonna be tough if they don't settle down and play right.

[Mr. Miyagi]

Rams just had 2 big plays, 34 yards and 19 yards!

[LifetimeBillsFan]

TD RAMS!!! They're doing their part. Time for the Bills to take care of business!

[Devin]

TD Rams

[Mr. Miyagi]

TD RAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mr. Miyagi]

INT! TKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chernobylwraiths]

Spikes baby!!!

[FTG]

YES>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>TD RAMS and TKO makes the INT>

[Voltron]

TKO TKO TKO

[Mr. Cynical]

Drew: 1/4, 9 YDs, 1 INT.

[Devin]

It sounds horrible but im really hoping for a Pitt injury now. So that idiot Cowher will pull some players. At the rate we are going its our only hope.

[Devin]

SPIKES!

[illusionone]

TKO BABY


LETS GO DREW & CREW

I SMELL A TD :gobills:

[Voltron]

Sweet!

[LifetimeBillsFan]

ugh , this is gonna be tough if they don't settle down and play right.
Special teams and the offense just aren't getting it done right now. They can't afford to dig themselves too big of a hole here.

[FTG]

holding :shakeno:

[illusionone]

Why not go to the no huddle here and throw their defense off a bit

[Devin]

For F*** sake, we could screw up a wet dream what is the Offence's deal today.

[Voltron]

Who the HECK was he throwing too??!

[illusionone]

what the hell is an "Illegal Crackback"????? and why did we do it to lose 15 yards

[Devin]

theres your no huddle.

[FTG]

nice drop Reed BS!!!!!!!!!

[Devin]

what a tool.

[Voltron]

Wow some really bad passes so far out of Drew

[FTG]

Drew looks terrible today. He's getting plenty of time and can't hit anyone

[illusionone]

theres your no huddle.

Well it usually helps when your not set back 20 f'n yards

[Devin]

Drew looks terrible today. He's getting plenty of time and can't hit anyone


what a surprise.

[illusionone]

finally pittsburg starts in their own endzone

[Alluro]

c'mon rams d..hold them to 3 !....Bring in JP :) !!

[FTG]

..............Pitt had most of thier backup D in on that drive.

[Devin]

TD Jets.

[LifetimeBillsFan]

DAMN--a bad series by our offense and the Jets score a TD. 10-7 Jets.

[Mr. Cynical]

Wow some really bad passes so far out of Drew
Why are you surprised? This is the first time he has faced a playoff calibre team (other than Seattle, where he threw 3 INTs)

[Alluro]

anyone think wys has a big smile on his face right about now

[FTG]

****** Jets :mad:

[Devin]

come on stick em here D give us decent field position......again.

[chernobylwraiths]

c'mon rams d..hold them to 3 !....Bring in JP :) !!

Oh Brother!

[Devin]

nevermind.

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Maybe somebody on our bench needs to hit Bledsoe in the back of the head with a helmet or something. If he doesn't go out with a concussion, maybe he'll be so dazed that he won't remember that this is a big game and start to play better. Either way the Bills will be in better shape than they are with the way that he's been playing so far.

[FTG]

another 3rd and long given up

[Mr. Miyagi]

Jets scored again. :mad:

[illusionone]

i'm going to log off now.....I will check back on you guys after half time....it's like double the heartache, watching the bills struggle and the negativity uuuggghhhh

[Devin]

unreal.

[FTG]

this is embarrassing. We are being manhadled by Pitts second stringers

[Devin]

Rams driving.

[chernobylwraiths]

i'm going to log off now.....I will check back on you guys after half time....it's like double the heartache, watching the bills struggle and the negativity uuuggghhhh

No kidding. Special teams is also looking like crap and defense isn't looking too good either until Pittsburg gets close to the goalline.

[Mr. Miyagi]

Why don't we seem to want to win?

[FTG]

This is stupid.

[Devin]

Could someone on our D please break El's leg or something. THis is getting ******ed.

[Romes]

frickin a we can't stop them on third down unless they are in our redzone

[Typ0]

This is not pretty...what is going on with our Bills?

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Who just got beat on the long pass to Randle-El?

[chernobylwraiths]

No pressure on QB will get big plays against you all the time. Plus, their backup QB was their starter when the year started. Not like HE is a rookie.

[FTG]

Would someone start covering friggen Randle-el

[chernobylwraiths]

Who just got beat on the long pass to Randle-El?

Looks like Vincent. No pressure though.

[Mr. Miyagi]

Rams are at 1st and goal at the 7. :up:

[FTG]

Who just got beat on the long pass to Randle-El?

Vincent. I can not understand our 3rd down D. We play good for 2 downs and then get burned on 3rd

[chernobylwraiths]

Rams are at 1st and goal at the 7. :up:

2nd and goal at the 11. Stupid reverse.

[Mr. Miyagi]

We need to hold them again. Turnover would be great here.

Our O is doing squat. :ill:

[chernobylwraiths]

WTF a three man rush?

[pyrrhonist]

At least it is only another 3, but damn, the offense needs to get its ass in gear!!

[Mr. Miyagi]

3rd and goal Rams.

[pyrrhonist]

INT by the Jets.

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Well, at least we held them to just 3 points. Still, the Bills have to play a lot better than they have so far if they want to even have a shot. The offense needs to give the defense some time to rest.

[Mr. Miyagi]

They just said we passing game only has 2 yards. :ill:

[FTG]

int Bulger :down:

[Mr. Miyagi]

Holy crap Drew completed a pass!

[Mr. Miyagi]

GO FOR IT!

[FTG]

This is a joke.

[Romes]

well they are destroying us in the 3rd down battle

[Mr. Miyagi]

Better off punting it out of bounds. :(

[chernobylwraiths]

WTF are they doing?!

Off tackle on 3rd and 1 and the line didn't seem to block ANYONE!

[FTG]

If we don't get a defensive score we will lose this game

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Oh God, not another 3 and out! COME ON BILLS!!! LET'S GO!!!

[pyrrhonist]

Bulger=No Kurt Warner. :loser:

[FTG]

We'll see what this team is made of after halftime. Pitt is already playing mostly backups on D and we can't even get a first down. If we can't beat them we don't deserve to be in the playoffs.

[Mr. Cynical]

Seriously ... for those watching the game.... is Drew ****ing the bed as bad as his 2/8, 14yds, 1 INT stats suggest? Or is he getting zero time, and the WRs are dropping balls?

[LifetimeBillsFan]

I*******and I admit that it is a big i*******we can get the ball back and get any kind of score before halftime it would be a huge help.

[Mr. Miyagi]

We apparently don't deserve to be in it now. :(

[chernobylwraiths]

Let Freddie Smith return it.

[FTG]

We must get at least 3 on this drive

[Mr. Miyagi]

Wait a minute. *regroup*

I STILL BILLIEVE!!!

[LifetimeBillsFan]

T.Holt has just put the Rams back on top! Rams 14-10!

[Alluro]

this is the defining game in bledsoe's career as a bill...his fate probably rests on the outcome

[chernobylwraiths]

Seriously ... for those watching the game.... is Drew ****ing the bed as bad as his 2/8, 14yds, 1 INT stats suggest? Or is he getting zero time, and the WRs are dropping balls?

A few bad throws, a few drops. The receivers don't seem to be getting any separation. He's getting SOME time, but not a lot.

[chernobylwraiths]

Aiken should have gone out.

[FTG]

I am sick of them showing Cower and that damn smug arrogant look on his face. Time for the Bills to wipe that look off

[pyrrhonist]

T.Holt has just put the Rams back on top! Rams 14-10!

I got to see the play. Best news so far this morning. :peace:
