We’ve broken down just about every angle of the Steelers-Bills game from a Pittsburgh perspective. Now, we try to figure out how it looks from Buffalo’s point of view.

The Bills come in at 9-4. Their defense is almost as good as the Steelers’ overall, and it is better in some areas.

Yet, some people — myself included — have been waiting for the other cleat to drop all year in Orchard Park. Strength of schedule and lack of faith in the offense are two main reasons.

In other words, the same reasons why many folks are still doubting the Steelers.

Come to think of it, is this an actual game? Or just one big split-squad practice between the same team wearing different colors?

Sal Capaccio joins me to give us the perspective from Upstate New York. He covers the Bills for WGR Radio in Buffalo, and he is the team’s radio sideline reporter.

Among other topics, we try to figure out if the Bills might be vulnerable against the Steelers’ ground game, why Josh Allen struggles to throw deep, and how Buffalo plans to block T.J. Watt and Bud Dupree.

Plus, we discuss what the Steelers should anticipate from that highly touted Buffalo front seven and their quality secondary.

The podcast linked below is about 14 minutes long. Or roughly one minute for every point you can expect to be scored Sunday night between these two teams.
