The poor Buffalo Bills.  Losing in the last second despite playing your hearts out and then losing three defensive starters mean the Bills could have a very long day against the Steelers this Sunday.  That’s unless Dick Jauron can give the speech of his life to get his team motivated to win one for TE Kevin Everett so they can give him the game ball.  The Bills will need to run the football to keep it away from the Pittsburgh Steelers offense.  Rookie Marshawn Lynch did a good job in his NFL debut as he carried the football 19 times for 90 yards (4.7 ypc) and a TD against the Broncos last week.  But the Steelers defense is an entirely different animal.  They have a solid defensive line and a group of active linebackers.  The Steelers held the Browns to 46 yards rushing last week on 16 carries (2.9 ypc).  The Bills also must attack the Steelers CBs with their WRs.  No excuse can be given as to why Lee Evans only caught 2 passes for 5 yards last week.  He is a physical mis-match for the Steelers secondary but will J.P. Losman have the time to get him the football?  We’ll see on Sunday as the Steelers had six sacks against the Browns last week.

The Steelers will likely come out with the same exact gameplan that they had against the Browns.  They will likely throw the ball early in the game and then grind it out on the ground.  Willie Parker (109 yards rushing) will likely have a field day against a Bills defense that allowed the Broncos to rush for 171 yards on 32 carries (5.3 ypc).  QB Ben Roethlisberger should have plenty of time to survey the field when he drops back to pass.  The Bills allowed 309 yards passing last week to the Broncos so the Steelers should have little problem moving the ball in the air.  Look for the Steelers to attack CB Ashton Youboty often as he will be making his first NFL start.  I could definately see Hines Ward, Santonio Holmes and Heath Miller all making return trips to the end zone this week against the Bills.

PREDICTION:  This game will be a bloodbath.  Look for the Steelers to trounce the undermanned Bills by at least two touchdowns this Sunday.
