After the game, Bledsoe admitted the game plan was short and underneath passes. Why? Pittsburgh was playing third-string corner backs and safeties against Lee Evans and Eric Moulds. The one time the Bills did go downfield -- when the Steelers expected it -- Evans hauled it in setting up a late fourth-quarter touchdown.
Even Pittsburgh's one-time starter, now backup Tommy Maddox had the wind figured out. He does not play his games in Orchard Park conditions.
"It wasn't constant. You would throw soft and it would dive down or dive up, it wasn't the kind of wind you can gauge as the game goes on," said Maddox. "You have to go through your reads, throw the ball like you normally would and hope the ball didn't move too much." more (http://www.wellsvilledaily.com/articles/2005/01/03/sports/sports01.txt)
Maybe the reason why the Bills did so well at end of season especially in short game is because they were playing away from Ralph and Bledsoe's short game has never been his strong suit? He needs to find a team with a dome and a lline made of boulders for him.
