The Pittsburgh Steeler starters looked to be quite sharp yesterday, beating up on the Bills.

The offense saw good performances from all three quarterbacks. The starters would get two touchdowns before the first quarter was halfway over, second string would get another in the third quarter followed by (2) field goals in the fourth quarter.

Special teams pinned Buffalo behind their own ten-yard line not just once but three times following kickoffs/punts.

The defense, Pittsburgh’s long time centerpiece, performed quite well. Having said that, their zone defense is still ineffective against a passing offense.

Their running game again looked sad and pathetic. Taking away Jaylen Warrens (62)-yard barely touched touchdown sprint in the first quarter, the remaining (9) runners combined for another (59) yards from (32) attempts. That’s just over half a yard a carry kids.

The center made a few bad snaps for the second week in a row, one resulting in a turnover.

The Buffalo Bills did not look so good at all in the first half. They were undisciplined taking (12) penalties for (90) yards in the first half alone. This was essentially their sole undoing.

The Bills offense played much better the second half versus the non-starters and they mostly ceased taking penalties but it was too little too late.

Deservedly so, sixty people in Buffalo are going to get their asses ripped on Monday, possibly review the rules of the game again.

Best wishes to Tommy Doyle of Buffalo, who left late in the game with a leg injury.

And congrats to Joey Porter of Pittsburgh for his first of many interceptions.
