Just in Atlanta Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Course if the Bills do win, the lead will be about the injured Cassel, who valiantly played with injured ribs, not the Bills winning. [ whine ] But true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I think it will b a close game but I think we will b looking to make a statement..Bills hold Chiefs to about half of last years rushing total and shock a lot of people... Bills 17 Chiefs 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in Chicago Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) Course if the Bills do win, the lead will be about the injured Cassel, who valiantly played with injured ribs, not the Bills winning.

RuntheDamnBall Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Course if the Bills do win, the lead will be about the injured Cassel, who valiantly played with injured ribs, not the Bills winning. [ whine ] But true. I will endure a whole year of haterade if it means the Bills perform well and make the playoffs this year. I don't care what any report has to say about it. I'd even take the position the Seahawks were in last year (though nobody is making the playoffs at 7-9 in the AFC East). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Senator Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Course if the Bills do win, the lead will be about the injured Cassel, who valiantly played with injured ribs, not the Bills winning. [ whine ] But true. Yes, of course - and if Cassel can't play, well that'll be 'the only reason the Bills won' Much like that of the gloom & doom prophets right here on TSW, the media's negatative attitude toward the Bills has festered like an infected boil for about a decade - so I don't expect it to change overnight. (It'll probably take until our 3rd straight win, on September 25th, against NE* ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrags Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 My predictions are: Bills 31 Chiefs 17 Fitz looks just a little better than average. Jackson and Spiller go off for 200 combined Johnson 80yards 1 TD the defense completely stops the run. They have barely 100 yards on the ground all day between all thier backs. Merriman has a sack Dareus looks monsterous Barnett makes us all forget who the Poz ever was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) ESPN: Golic (big surprise) and Schefter pick the Bills. The rest (including accuscore and "pick'em") pick KC. Mortensen went for a couple upsets, Fish over Pats and Sea over SF. But not the Bills over KC. ESPN Week 1 Predictions Yes, of course - and if Cassel can't play, well that'll be 'the only reason the Bills won' Might not have to worry about that. Quarterback Matt Cassel told a Kansas City radio station he has no doubt he will be ready to play Sunday when the Chiefs host Buffalo to start the season. “Oh yeah. We are ready to go. Everything is a go,” Cassel said. “No pain. No discomfort. Ready to go.” Link Edited September 7, 2011 by CodeMonkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I can't imagine "cracked ribs" healing so quickly. Either he wasn't really injured, or he's lying about his health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I couldn't care less about media coverage. I just want the victory. I assure you they don't know nearly as much as you do about the Bills or Chiefs. Honestly. With a few exceptions, most of these national guys don't have time to follow every team. The Bills and Chiefs generally fall into the neglect category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I can't imagine "cracked ribs" healing so quickly. Either he wasn't really injured, or he's lying about his health. One sure way to find out: have fat man Dareus sit on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockinon Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Williams, Merriman and Dareus all would be happy to take a crack a Cassel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's in My Blood Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Bills 28 Chiefs 17 Fitz has a big day, breaking the 300 yd mark week 1 Spiller shines Marcel Dareus/K.Williams/Merriman show up big- 4 sacks between them and holding the chiefs under 100 yds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonechiller Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I dont know if it is a good thing or not but... I think we see a lot of B. Smith this week, more than expected Good defense, ball control offense (a little boring) 20-10 BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 All indications are that Cassel will start. I think that is a good thing because I'm curious to see just how much the D has improved. All doubts seemed to disappear Wednesday that Matt Cassel would start at quarterback Sunday when they open their regular season against Buffalo at Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs returned to practice after a day off and Cassel was a full participant. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternOHBillsFan Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Bills 17 Chiefs 14 Defense is better, offense is the same, they couldn't beat us in regulation last year, and so I flipped the script- Bills win in regulation. Definitely cannot underestimate the power of our defense scoring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalScotts Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Arrowhead was a tough place to play, for some reason the Bills have played well there as of late. The experience of playing there three years in a row should help, also that town hates Cassel if he struggles either with the injury our defense or a combination they will turn on him. Bills 27-13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Number 76 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 You should immediately file a Bleacher Report article about this so that some Kansas City fans can go complain about the media. But he'd first have to make it into a 30-page slideshow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I think this game will be more about the Chiefs taking a step back this season. Hopefully the Bills can capitalize. My prediction: Buffalo 19 KC 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Sadly, 13-9 KC. I bet the bills on the ml. I talk them up all preseason to my buddies. I take Freddie and Stevie in both of my fantasy leagues. I even have the bills D in one of my league. But when it comes down to it, I think our offense will sputter and defense will show us what they've improved. The future is getting brighter. Nonetheless, our OL sucks. Our WRs are inexperienced. And IMO, Fitzy is a career backup that has a chance to become someones franchise qb. It's hard to become just that, with a bad OL and inexperienced WRs. I talk up the bills offense to everyone I know, but I'm not yet sold on them. I need ton see it succeed. If they came out in preseason and tore it up, scoring td after td, I'd probably have more confidence. That didn't happen. They looked putrid in games 1 and 2. They didn't game plan for their opponents those games, I understand. Fitz looked like Brady vs the jax. Maybe the worst d in the league, playing without 3 starters along the DL. It gives me some confidence, but hasn't proved anything. The Detroit game, again, wasn't very good. 3 out of 4 games where our first team couldn't get into the end zone. I hope it ain't so, but I see then same thing on Sunday. No, I'm not a pessimist. It pains me to pick a loss with zero tds, it's just my feeling. Go Bills!!!
