    You would think for a guy who's broadcasting to thousands of people, including a large market city like New York, and getting paid handsomely for it, would do his diligence and represent the "facts" accurately...buuuuuut, apparently that's just for local newspaper hacks and beat writers....my bad

    At least he got Searcy's name right this time. In the Baltimore game he kept calling him "Darcy."

    I don't think that's entirely accurate....this TEAM may have given up "at least 20 points a game", but not the Defense. For example, Kansas City scored 23 points, but only 9 of those were on the Defense, the other 14 were turnovers returned for touchdowns...can't exactly fault the Defense when they weren't even on the field...I get your point, but I heard this stat during the Sunday game and it drove me bonkers because of its inaccuracy...Cleveland's Defense had 14 points due to turnovers as well, and that counted against the point total of course, but those points don't get stacked onto the Defense....just a point, not trying to pick a "fight" or anything

    Same here - didn't think it through and thought Fouts had done his research. :wallbash:

    If Spiller doesn't have a monster game against that defense and with 2 weeks to heal, it ain't happening for him this year. IT's scary to think how good this offense could be with the Spiller we saw last year.

    This is how I look at it too regarding Spiller. Bobby Raney racked up 246. Spiller better make it happen.

    Atl is my second favorite team way behind Buffalo.

    Atlanta is bad. The Falcons have little to no pass rush to speak of. Abrahams left and the Falcons picked up Osi. But they have little outside of him. The Falcons best LB Witherspoon has been out but will be back for this game. The secondary for the Falcons has also been very suspect. The Falcons went with a CB Trufant in the first round but he has has his rookie struggles.

     

    On O the Falcons still have Matt Ryan. But the line is very bad. They lost their starting left tackle in preseason and their center retired at the end of the season last year. The Falcons have been very very bad running the ball. S. Jackson has done little to replace M.Turner who sliped in production last year.

    Gonzalez is still the premiere TE. The guy always gets open or makes a tough catch. R White has also been banged up a lot of the year and not playing anywhere near what he has been the past 4 years with Ryan. J. Jones getting injured and out has also really hurt this team. Ryan has been in my opinion 'pressing' trying to win every game. Thus his Int numbers are way up.

     

     

    Honestly guys- If the Bills play as determined as they did against the Jets. And the coaches call a game like they did against the jets this game should have a similar outcome. ATL is not a good team right now.

    Thanks for the insight since it looks like from your screen name you live there and follow the team closely. My fear lies in that Pitt was in this exact spot before we played them 2 wins. Bad team. OL struggles. No running game. Bad defense. While that all may have been true, we were worse. Couldn't take advantage of their weaknesses, and Pitt exposed ours. Granted LeBeau doesn't coach for ATL but our issues at Pitt weren't just on offense. Plus our mistakes on ST have not gotten better and are going to cost us again in one of these games. They really need to get a handle on ST during the bye week. Specifically penalties, and blocking.

    I got you and the Bills would be stupid to underestimate ATL. But they are a really bad team. They lost to the Jets at home. They got absolutely smoked by TB and let their 3rd string rb run all over them.

     

    This is exactly the type of game that will show us where the Bills are. If you blindly watched gametape of both teams & didn't know who was who, you would come away thinking the Bills are the superior team. Add to that, we might be at 100% health for the first time since training camp. The only negative I see is the Bills have to play in that awful Toronto atmosphere.

    it is bad and I can't get the memory of Seattle rolling us for 50+ there last year. :sick: Maybe Rob Ford will show up and bring the Party. lol.

    This is why schedule strength before the season is so dumb. Teams change every year. Of course, Atlanta has talent. But they have a crappy oline, can't stretch the field without Julio, have a banged up Roddy, a terrible D, and a retired Steven Jackson.

     

    Of course, Atlanta can win next week. But it would be a bad loss. They are a bad football team. And if this was at the Ralph, I think we would blow them off the field.

    That's exactly it... the Jets were coming off a huge win against NO at home, went into the Bye week thinking "Ok, we'll just beat the Bills and then if we can win in Balt..."... then the Bills starting 2 WRs went down, EJ looked horrible, we couldn't run against a Pitt D that gave up 55 the week before... I am sure they thought the same thing and came in and got rocked because of it. I fear the effort the approach. If they play to their ability, on paper, they should win. But they really should have beaten Cleveland, with Brandon freaking Weeden, with or without EJ, and they did not. If this was at RWS, I agree. But it isn't anything like the Ralph. Many of these guys have never played at Rodgers. Out of their routine, new place, different country. I don't know. Just have a bad feeling.

    Every game scares me, but this one really scares me. Great win on Sunday over division rival, bounce back for EJ, now 2 weeks to prep for ATL and a chance (no matter how small) to get a WC birth if the Bills keep winning and others start losing. OK... but the Bills haven't strung together two wins in a row since September. September of 2012!!

     

    ATL is a perennial playoff team until this season. They have one of the best QBs in the league. They were an NFC favorite pre-season when they signed Stephen Jackson. Injuries (esp. Julio Jones) and a defense that has underachieved, but most importantly some very close games, have them at 2 less wins than the Bills. They may not have a chance at the NFL playoffs, but I am pretty sure Mike Smith is coaching for his job at this point. ATL losses are to:

    NE

    NYJ

    NO

    Miami

    Arizona

    Carolina

    Seattle

    Tampa

     

    Bills also lost to 3 of those teams - NE, NO, NYJ. Of the others, Carolina, Arizona and Seattle are a combined 23-5. They lost to Miami by only 4, on the road. They have Roddy White and Tony Gonzales which will be very hard for Bflo to cover with our smaller DBs. I am very worried about the veteran QB Matt Ryan. I think our defense will give up yards and points in this game because I don't like the matchup or location. It will be a quiet atmosphere while Bills are on defense. I think the Bills will need to outscore ATL. I am hopeful with SJ and Woods coming back and ATL's defensive stats so far this year, but EJ will not have have thrown to Woods in a game in 2 months when this rolls around. Most importantly, this game represents a lot. It is the kind of game most Bills teams have lost. Get our hopes up, just to come out flat against an opponent that doesn't offer the same "rivalry" or "hype", and lose. I really hope they use this Bye week to get better and attack this game like it means everything. Because it does.... until the math tells us otherwise.

    Two things:

     

    (1) bills haven't had enough success to take any opponent lightly. Not a one. They are a few scores from being a 1 or 2 win team too. Carolina, Bal and even Miami were down to the wire.

     

    (2) They only deserve a playoff spot if they win out with this schedule, because that's what good teams do against bad teams and make no mistake, ATL, TB, Jax and Mia are bad teams.

     

    I will be ecstatic if they make it to Foxburogh ready to play for a Wildcard birth but they need to take care of biz.

    Good post - but I will add that they are also a few scores from being 7-4 right now as well (NE, Cincy, Jets part 1 all down to the wire/OT)... so that works both ways. I absolutely agree that they cannot take any team lightly. They have not proven to be able to do that, ever. I don't think they will though because it is a young team that seems to get up for every game mixed with leaders like Fred and Kyle who know better. It is Marrone's 1st season, just can't see him ever taking anyone lightly.

    I think Pit going 3-3 the rest of the way is likely. @GB w/healthy Rodgers. Cincy = another loss. Then just have to hope for a split with Cleveland or loss in Baltimore.

     

    GB takes them. Cleveland split, and loss to Baltimore or Cincy is what I think knocks them out of contention.

    The Browns suck and we do not need to worry about them. I am more worried about Pitt.

    The bills are in a tough spot. 6 of their 7 losses have come against AFC teams (NE, NYJ, Cle, Pit, KC, Cin). They would have to have a 1-game advantage over any of these teams, meaning even if we went 9-7, almost all of these teams would have to go 8-8 for us to make the playoffs.

    Cin and NE will win their div and KC will get the 1st WC IMO. For the 2nd WC...we need NYJ, Cle, Pit to lose at least once and for us to win out. Cle and Pit play each other this week.
