    I know Vegas has us favored, but nobody else seems to think we have a chance. I hope we can prove people wrong.

     

    I will say this, if we lose, I am going to remain super salty with how our offseason was handled this year. After what The Bengals did to us, I thought we would try and get some more weapons for Josh. We added some running backs, but we need another deep threat IMHO. Watching all the good teams get better while remaining stagnant is not ideal imho.

    I've seen 23 professional predictions so far and it's pretty split on who they're picking with the slight edge going to Buffalo. 13 picking Buffalo and 10 picking the Dolphins.

     

    Just because they didn't get a true #2 doesn't mean we didn't get weapons for Josh. We got the best pass catcher in the draft but he's a rookie. Give him some time.

     

    I get it, we all wanted a true #2. But our RBs are weapons in their own right as well. Cook has the third most yards through the first three games since Spiller in 2012 and Harris/Murray are getting the tough yards that'll save JA from taking too many hits.

     

    Go Bills!

  2. Per usual with Miami, JA is going to shine (9-2 against them) and the offense will get their points. So, it's up to the defense to slow down the Miami O just enough.

     

    There are two players that I've been thinking about for my impact player: Matt Milano or Leonard Floyd. Pressure is going to be very important to get Tua's and the WRs' timing off just enough to stall some drives, which is where Floyd comes in. That said, it's going to be important to also clog up the middle of the field against Tua, which is where Milano is needed.

     

    While it's a tough choice, I'm going to go with Leonard Floyd. Especially with Poyer out the DL in general will need to have a good game. He may not even get "home" but his pressure will make the impact. While they won't be completely stopped, he'll be disruptive enough to keep the Dolphins out of sync at times during the game. It'll be the "enough" we need to keep the Dolphins from outscoring JA and our O. Look for him to have a batted down ball or two as well.

    Thinks it's going to be a defensive chess match. It'll be on Dorsey to be creative and stick with the short quick routes. Can he do it again?

     

    Going with Shakir as my choice this week. 😁

     

    Bernard on D. 

    Congrats to LyndonvilleBill for picking Bernard!

     

    First player since 2007 to have two sacks, an INT and a fumble recovery. He just dominated the game.

     

    Go Bills!!!

  4. The Commanders DL is impressive. Their secondary? Not so much.

     

    So, my impact player is #14, Stefon Diggs. JA will be pressured at times due to the DL. But, JA often excels at eluding pressure and passing outside of the pocket and will continue to find Diggs for key 3rd down conversions, chunk plays and even a big TD catch that goes for at least 36 yds.

     

    Diggs shines in his hometown and is my impact player of the game with 108 yds, with one of the receptions being at least a 36 yd TD.

    I'm going into this knowing I'm about to get grilled. But my choice is: Gabe Davis.

     

    Yeah yeah yeah, I get it. The Official forum whipping boy 2023-2024 season. But here's a game where I think Davis can get some work. First off I see a lot of opportunities in the pass game. I see the Bills wanting to push it up the field and get Josh back on track.

     

    This is also the type of random early season game (like last years Steelers game) that Davis will tease us with his potential before disappearing again in the near future. 

     

    My projected stat line is in the 6/115/1TD range.

    The problem with this foolishness is assuming that the Big Time Throw to Turnover ratio should be 2:1 for balance.

     

    It should be more like 5:1

    Do you know what the ratio should be or is 5:1 wishful thinking? Not being snarky at all, just asking if you know.

     

    You would think when talking about big time throws, that the likelihood that it’d be completed, that percentage would naturally be lower.

     

    Thanks, Simon. Go Bills!

  7. No one’s denying that JA didn’t have a bad game. He did.

     

    Like some say though, it’s typically not as bad as it seems when you’re going through the bad time.


    I remember (i’m sure we all do) when he went through a slump in 2021 for a stretch and many were concerned as well. But, he got out of that slump and that slump helped change his game in-year. That’s the same year he went on a tear in the playoffs.

     

    While he needs to cut down on the turnovers, here’s an encouraging stat when it comes to his big time throws vs turnover worthy plays since 2020.

     

    Go Bills!

    You might be onto something, bro.
     

    I was thinking about picking him for a couple of the same reasons as you.

     

    It would be great if Gabe could have a strong game!

  9. I’m going to go with Dalton Kincaid.
     

    Josh needs to gain some chemistry and trust with some of the newbies. The Raiders D isn’t the Jets D, so this could be the game for that in-game chemistry to start to develop.
     

    I’m going to say he has a TD and couple big conversions that keeps drives and momentum going. He’ll be one of the reasons our offense doesn’t look so clunky.
     

    Who ya got, Bills Mafia?

    I'll stay with Dorian Williams.

     

    He may not start, but have a feeling we will see him on the field a bit. Especially in the second half. Maybe more 4-3 looks this game if it's raining and I think the Jets may push the running game. Roger's will want to test the rookie and it won't turn out well for him.. DW will show why we drafted him. I see a Pick 6, 2 tfl's, 1 FF and a sack.

     

    Welcome to the NFL DW!!

     

    Now, LFG!!! 😁🙏

     

     

    Nice, bro.

     

    You need to come up with a nickname for him. Once you do, share it with us.

     

    Go Bills!

  11. Besides the Miami win (a small plus is that the Chargers are 0-1), day four of our most wonderful time of the year couldn’t have gone much better.

     

    0-1 Bengals and 82 yards passing for Burrow

    0-1 Titans and Tannehill 3 INTs

    0-1 Steelers and being blown out at home

    0-1 Patriots (enough said)

    0-1 Chiefs (day one) and Mahomes with a pick six

     

    Hopefully day five of our most wonderful time of the year will end with us going 1-0 and the Jets falling to 0-1.

     

    Go Bills!

  13. Cool story.

     

    We live in the San Diego area, home to a great Bills Backers bar (right, @muppy?) called the Local in PB.

     

    My daughter just moved to Monterey to start her junior year at college, which is about seven hours north of us (sad part of the story 😳).

     

    I told her she should look for a place up there to hang out with some bills fans. I know when most people think of California, they think of a big population and rightfully so. That said, Monterey only has about 30,000 people in it so she  thought the chances of finding some thing up there wasn’t good.

     

    Lo and behold, she’s not even looking for it mind you, and she finds a Bills Backers flyer for Monterey on the door of a sandwich shop. 😃


    So, wherever you live, or wherever you’re traveling to for vacation, make sure you look to see if there’s a Bills Backers chapter in your area. Even in a smaller city, you may be surprised to find that there’s one there or near.

     

    I found this website today (didn’t know about it until today) where you can check how far one is from where you live or are traveling to. I hope this link will be helpful for some.

    The season is upon us which means it's time for the 3rd annual Bills Mafia edition of "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year".

     

    If you want to listen to the original song by Andy Williams (or sing the Bills Mafia edition to music), it's below.

     

    It's our most wonderful time of the year, Bills Mafia. Enjoy the 2023 season. Go Bills!

     

     

    It's the most wonderful time of the year
    With the Bills fans yelling
    And everyone telling you “this is our year”

    It's the hap-happiest season of all
    With those Buffalo beatings and tailgating meetings
    When games start in Fall
    It's the hap-happiest season of all

     

    There'll be Bills parties for hosting
    Labatts for toasting
    And fans in their stadium row
    There'll be scary drought stories
    And tales of 90s glories of

    Seasons long, long ago


    It's the most wonderful time of the year
    There'll be much blue cheese flowing
    And fans will be knowing
    When broken tables are near
    It's the most wonderful time of the year

    Day 1 of our most wonderful time of the year couldn’t have gone any better.

     

    Mahomes 

    21-39 (53.9%)
    2 TDs, 1 INT (pick 6)

    226 yards passing, 45 yards rushing

    77.5 passer rating

     

    I know his WRs didn’t help but who cares how he got these stats. They still happened and the Chiefs are 0-1.

     

    Go Bills!

    I'll go with James Cook. I think this game could be a slog fest. Every extra yard Cook gets that Singletary would never get is going to be the difference.

    I have a confession to make, bro.

     

    When I read your posts, because of your picture, my mind subconsciously reads them as if Carl Weathers is saying it. 🤣

  16. What's up, Bills Mafia. It's that time, woohoo!

     

    Throughout the upcoming season, I plan on doing these posts on Fridays after the final injury report comes out (or Saturday if it's a Monday night game). That said, based on Freddie's Dead's idea (thanks, bro), we're rolling out week 1 a little earlier.

     

    Back in May, I did a special offseason edition of "Excluding JA...biggest impact - Bills at Jets" after the schedule came out. I'm going to stick with my original prediction. Here it is:

    "My impact player is Tre day. With his injury behind him, he’ll be a force again and it will start right away against Rodgers. He’ll have some pass break ups and won’t even be thrown to a lot because he'll be so dominant against who he’s matched up with. He’ll either spoil Rodgers debut with a late game INT or keep him flustered and off track by having an early INT and some pass break-ups."

     

    Who ya got, Bills Mafia? (You can make a prediction even if you didn’t participate in the off-season prediction thread)

     

     

    For the people who did participate in our special offseason edition of "Excluding JA...biggest impact - Bills at Jets" here were your predictions. You can keep your original prediction or give a new one.

     

    @John from Riverside - Dalton Kincaid

    This may be common knowledge, but I didn't realize we've played the Jets 3 times to start the year under Sean McDermott.

     

    2017: 21 - 12 (Home)

    2019: 17 - 16 (Away)

    2020: 27 - 17 (Home)

     

    And now again in 2023. McDermott is 4-2 in week 1 overall, getting blown out by the Ravens in 2018 (not his fault, team was terrible), getting upset by the Steelers at home in 2021, and last year's league opener blowout win vs the Rams.

     

    I know week 1 has a lot of divisional matchups (8 games are in division/8 games outside of it), but is it normal for other teams to kick off the season against the same opponent so often?

    A week from now, he’ll be 4-0 against them in openers.

     

    Go Bills!
