Yeah, plus the relatively early bye isn't ideal. It also might be more accurate to say that the Bills' schedule is backloaded rather than outright easy. I mean, we're still playing first-place teams as a division winner from last season, we just happen to play most of them in the back half of the season.

Being greedy, I would've wanted our secondary to play better and for our passcatchers to look more explosive and create more separation. Happy with 3-0 though of course

Browning will fall to 4-4 today. Still no wins against playoff teams or teams not resting their starters. (And Minnesota, who is pasting Cincy, might not be a playoff team this year). If the thinking was that Browning is a starter-level backup, let's slow our roll on that.

I'd be worried about picking the Bucs this week. Feels like the Jets could rally around Tyrod (who might be an upgrade at QB), and the Jets DL finally makes TB pay for all their OL injuries.

Yes, we're trying to win a Super Bowl with less receiving talent than other major contenders like the Eagles, Ravens, etc. But that is old news. We knew this already. Josh is still going to power us to 30 pts/gm and hopefully for the first time, we'll get the 1-seed and bye this year, and that can push us over the top.

Worried as Bills fans, yes, but that's typical Survivor. Week 1, I had the Eagles and they could've lost to the Cowboys. There will be many closer calls than last night as we advance each week, and it wasn't that bad, really. I don't believe Miami ever had the ball AND the lead., and it's only when the enemy can open up a two-score lead that you begin to sweat a bit. Otherwise, you figure Josh Allen will tie it or take the lead, whatever the case may be. And he did.

I don't get it. If it's a tough week elsewhere (meaning it's tough to pick winners?), then this is the perfect week to use double-digit fave Buffalo.

I know there are other factors that go into this, but I can't imagine we'll have a better week to use the Bills. Thursday night home teams have historically had an edge due to the compressed travel schedule / practice time for the opponent. Miami is dealing with turmoil and could see their coach and GM fired after this game. Finally, they just gave a huge effort against the Patriots and lost a heartbreaker and now have to go on the road to face this Bills team and these Bills fans. Feels like Miami is going to let go of the rope in this one.

Bills obviously

The Steelers only gained 271 and 267 yards total in their first two games. Again, that's total. I don't think their O will be much of a challenge for the Ravens.

Putting up 30+ a game with average receiving talent is commendable. A lot of what we view as playcalling weakness probably is just the receiving talent. I would like to see us recapture last season's QB sneak magic, if possible. We were the second-best tush push team last year, and it's such a huge advantage to be a 4-down team like the Eagles.

Project 1 Seed says we should start 10-0 I know it seems like we always hit a lull somewhere in the middle of the season but what if we've become keenly aware of that and it's in our power to stop it? What if a mature, height-of-his-powers Josh decides no more of that ish? "This year, we're getting that damn 1-seed and bye."

3 months, eh? I wonder if he's going to rush back for the Bills game on Dec 7th?

Browning was 4-3 as a starter two years ago. Here's his game log: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BrowJa08/gamelog/2023/ He did well against non-playoff teams and teams resting their starters in Week 18. Lost against all playoff teams, including getting swept by the wild-card Steelers. He's a pretty good backup but Cincy will not make the playoffs with him at the helm. Most importantly, they are now out of the 1-seed race. They were probably a pretty big underdog in that race, but now they have a 0% chance.

For today... now opponents will begin to scheme for him. Jake Browning is a large dropoff from Burrow

Here to eat my crow for betting Jets +6.5. Couldn't be happier to do it, as I just want this team to get the 1-seed/bye Great job by the staff to run all those corner blitzes that shut down / TFL'ed the Jets running game early. When the Jets couldn't establish the run early, that was all she wrote.

lol, Romo apparently thinks the Jets get the ball first in 2H

I'm not going to link anything directly because not sure if it's against the rules. But this is site is an aggregator of the best sites to stream live sports for free on the internet: https://fmhy.net/video#live-sports I'd be shocked if you spent 15-30 minutes poking around and can't find the Bills game. You might have to spend 15 minutes though. I'm not giving you a direct link. I'm teaching you how to fish instead of giving you a fish.

SF is still more talented, better coached, have a winning culture, etc

No one should take 5.5 at this point. You waited too long. Early in the week I backed Jets +6.5 and am happy with that. Would never take a stinky in comparison line like 5.5 where you're too late to the ballgame. 6 is a decently key number. It's not 3 but games end 30-24, 27-21, etc all the time.

Younghoe probably makes more money on OnlyFans anyway. Doesn't need the NFL.

We could win but I don't know if this is the reason. No matter what, the Jets lost last week and the Bills won. And the Bills won in a way where the media have been blowing smoke up our butts all week. I think motivation is equal and won't be a factor. Jets want to avoid 0-2. Bills want to improve and not waste the comeback last week by dropping to 1-1.

If the D stays healthy (a big question, unfortunately), it should gradually improve into being pretty good. Like 10th best defense in the league or so. Safety play (and likely injuries) will put the ceiling there.
