Bills look awful (as does PIttsburgh)

Teach the Browns players not to do that.

Steeler intercepting player was so eager to run down and celebrate,

he didn't realize not being touched he was eligible to regain his feet and then return that ball.

As he was only interesting in a celebration dance, the ref's this year call these as (the offensive player gave themselvesFF up and rule the ball down where he was down.

but as a defender had not layed a hand on him, and this is NFL not college, he was allowed to get up and return the interception for gain.

Another thing, earlier

There was a player on a team that ran toward the end zone, running free, different game, and as he got near the goal line, held the ball forward then flipped the ball into the air in celebration.

Teach the Browns players not to do this either, as there is a fine line where the Refs could rule he had not crossed the goal line, the ball could be fumbled outside of the back of the end zone,

which, takes away the score of 6 points,
takes away possession of the ball
and spots the ball for the other team on their own 20 yard line.

Brian Daboll's offense is as stale and stagnant now as it was when he was here.

He's going to be a head coach soon.

To all...Who would you rather have Allen or Baker?

Baker.

but, an arm like Allen's is tempting.... but, and maybe this is just Daboll's offense, he doesn't seem to know how to manage his offense. It seems like he's just constantly trying to sling 'em deep and isn't thinking too much about first downs and working the defense. It definitely makes Baker look like the better, smarter QB.

My condolences to whichever team hires him.

9-7 Bills at half. Low scoring, both offenses look bottled up. Steelers can really force you into mistakes, but their offense is in a shell lately too

Buffalo has a good defense. Nice pick 6 for them.

Is that the same Jordan Poyer who started with the Browns?

Yes

great way to finish the half... COME ON BILLS!

Id rather havd Baker.

here we go Bills!

16-7 Bills ... long drive for a TD. Diggs is a difference maker

HELL YES

Pittsburgh comes out in the second half by blitzing everyone. That did not work. 2 TDS for the Bills.

Calling it:

Bills Chiefs, AFC Conference game.

Pittsburgh is better off sending the house. Give Allen time and he will beat you with chunk plays.

welp, 23-7 Bills .. Steelers gotta wake up soon

I’d rather they don’t.

they didn’t

Tough call. I'm pulling for both guys. I've been an Allen fan for awhile. He's definitely benefited from a stable, good organization that has given him a chance.

I will say this unequivocally...nobody from the 2018 draft class has a better pocket presence than Allen.

In the end I think it will be a two man race for best QB of that draft between Baker and Allen. Would love to see them match up in the playoffs for years to come.

This is looking like in week 17, we won't be resting our starters

Daboll and company did a great job bringing out the best in Allen. Allen had mechanical issues that I don't think anyone else could have changed

I have no faith that Hue could have done anything for Allen.

He would be seen as a possible bust and a developing QB if he got drafted.

Bills win!

browns need to take care of business tomorrow

Stillers final 3 games are

Bengals, Colts and Browns.

They opened the door. Browns just have to walk through it now.

Steelers got beat up, too.

Ravens should be their only thought.

The Steelers seem to be injured, tired, and have an old QB. They can’t push the ball down the field.

The ball is in our court right now

Merry Christmas!

We are relevant. Couldn't believe it. Bills were on fire, neh?

I couldn't help noticing that the refs have no problems throwing a flag when Watt is being held.

Jc

My crazy theory might hold true. I said there’s a chance we could head into week 15 tied with the Steelers, possibly a game up going into week 17 if we take care of business.

And here’s our chance. We HAVE to have a statement when against the rats tonight. We take care of business tonight, and we’re only a game back!!!

There was also a bit of after whistle business that resulted in all of 0 flags.

Fixed it for ya

The pushing, shoving, the open-handed slapping in the head? There's no way you could have seen that -- the official standing in ten feet away didn't.

Talking heads were saying how Tomlin was talking up his own run game before kickoff. They even got all their guys back (Pouncy and Connor).

Exactly, all the extracurricular is stuff that has been called plenty of times in other games (and yes, the head slap was the most egregious).
