BARF Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 (edited) Anyone feel that Buffalo has a shot at upsetting Pittsburgh this week? They've played every other teams pretty darn hard (see BAL). I'm anxious to see if they can give the Steelers a run for their money. Yes... I am a homer.

jbran23 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 (edited) Im not sure about Buffalo winning but Im pulling my hair out trying to decide whether or not to start Fitzpatrick this week. Especially since I sat him last week against Cincy and he went off. Honestly, I see the game actually being fairly competetive but I dont think Buffalo's defense will be able to hold Pittsburgh enough to get a win. I see like a 35-27 game or something along those lines. Then again, Pittsburgh's swarming defense could knock Fitz into next week and I could also see a 35-10 game as well. Hence my QB indecisions.

Ursa Majoris Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I'm starting Fitz because Pittsburgh's pass D is nothing special and he's going to have to throw to try to keep Buffalo in it. The biggest danger is Fitz getting hurt early, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pittsburgh stuffs Buffalo's rushers plus forces them to play from behind should equal a recipe for 40+ pass attempts from Fitz but who knows. I could definitely see them holding Buffalo to 17 points or less as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satelliteoflovegm Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Check the weather could be a windy whore of a day. Haven't looked myself, I'm going, but will wait until Saturday night for the forecast. Just something to consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menudo Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 (edited) It's the NFL, where anything can happe, and the Steelers have shown some inconsistency, so, you never know. Edited November 27, 2010 by Menudo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_bone65 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I yanked Fred Jackson for Randy Moss in a pretty much win and in scenario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBoog Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 It's the NFL, where anything can happe, and the Steelers have shown some inconsistency, so, you never know. Yeah but... In Pitt, no way. I think Fitz is a good play because there is no way that they run the ball. Playing from behind against a pass d that has issues translates to me into a big yardage night, but smelling the endzone will be tough. I think Buffalo can drive on the Steelers, but finishing will be the hard part. This would be a good game to start Lindell.

i_am_the_swammi Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I yanked Fred Jackson for Randy Moss in a pretty much win and in scenario Not sure I'd do that. While jackson will be lucky to amass 40-50 yards rushing, he could sneak a TD in.....and is a lock to catch 4+ balls out of the backfield on screens for another 30-40 yards. I'd take those 10-12 fantasy points over what Moss has been putting up any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menudo Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 i AM the swammi I made a trade for Tolbert right at our deadline. I started him over FJax. Our league gives mega bonus points for receiving TD's from RB's, as well as length of TD's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menudo Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Beelzebub at work again. Where was he on the Buffalo punt that bounced at the 12 and worked it's way perfectly out of bounds at the 3. Or, on that fumble that bounced it's way out of several Steelers grasp and ended up in Buffalo's hands. I guess he just chooses his spots.
