Pittsburgh Steelers v Buffalo Bills preview

by Steve

Wait, the Buffalo Bills have an interesting game at the end of November at the Ralph? Well, sorta. Obviously the Bills are out of it and the Steelers basically have a playoff birth wrapped up. But, this game is still going to be interesting.

I would rather them lose out and get back into the Andrew Luck sweepstakes. That probably won't happen with perhaps 3 more winnable games left on the schedule. So lets evaluate Ryan Fitzmagic against a good to great defense in the National Football League in a game actually played in Buffalo elements.

People are jumping on the Fitzpatrick bandwagon faster than Jim's tacos flying out of mine system after consuming them. He has played awful teams, has put up stats, and has made a ton of mistakes exposing his talent level.

If he can play adequate to even decently good Sunday against this Steelers team perhaps I would consider him as a near term option at the quarterback position. Right now Fitzpatrick has not done enough to warrant another season as the "franchise quarterback". He is a player that does some great things, some good things and enough awful things to have serious reservations about his long term prospects of being a starting QB.

Sunday will be a gigantic litmus test for Fitz and just about every other player on this team. If he puts up points and stats (not in garbage time) and keeps the team in it for 50+ minutes or even wins outright my opinion will have to change. For now, he is still a good story, a nice player, and a good back for a playoff team.

I may even stay soberish enough in drive 5 to remember it.
