jester43 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 On NFL.com out of the five "experts" none picked the Buffalo Bills. Even though they swept the Dolphins last year, won the last two at home against them, lengthy injury report for Miami and all of the hoopla at the stadium this weekend. How many wins will it take to get some respect? why does anyone care about this? ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 The game comes down to which team can generate the most pressure on the other Quarterback. Both teams will get their yards on the ground, both teams have weapons in the passing game if the QB gets time... it is the pass rushers that will decide this.

mousetrap08 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Neither do I pick the Bills to win this Sunday for one reason. The Bills are famous for always laying a big fat egg on important games like this one. Dolphins win 19-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobChalmers Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) What ?? http://espn.go.com/nfl/picks Most of the same ones who picked the Dolphins also picked the Steelers to win last night... why does anyone care about this? ever. Because I would like to watch NFLN and occasionally hear something intelligent about my team. The same lazy mentality that has them all pick against the Bills nearly every week is the what causes FredEx's game-winning run to not be one of the top 10 plays, etc...

The Bills are famous for always laying a big fat egg on important games like this one. Dolphins win 19-0. It really will be a good indicator if this team is turning a corner, then. Very much agree that the Bills over the last 10+ years have laid an egg at every big game opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Neither do I pick the Bills to win this Sunday for one reason. The Bills are famous for always laying a big fat egg on important games like this one. Dolphins win 19-0. So they'll lose because of previous history? Don't think so. They'll either be the better team on Sunday or they won't. I like the Bills chances this week because of a number of factors including having a more talented roster than the Dolphins.

keepthefaith Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) The Dolphins are in big trouble this week.

CodeMonkey Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 EJ undefeated in throwback uni. Tannehill winless at RWS. There was a team last week that was winless in the away stadium that they were playing in. Who was that again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All_Pro_Bills Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Looking at the schedule we'll probably be talking about nobody picking the Bills to win until the October 19th game at home vs. Minnesota.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodbuster Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 And even if the Bills win Sunday, a visiting 0-2 Chargers team will be favored next week at the Ralph. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l< j Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Everyone needs to stop giving the football gods something else to think about. They might just like us right now. But for them, there's no target like an overconfident Bills fan. Just as the first 2 series of the Chicago game (Bills net 4 yards, 3 and out, Bears answer with an easy touchdown) didn't hint at what was to come, we are 1/16 of the way through a long season. We are not so far removed from a disappointing season, and a scary-bad pre-season. And the teams that are the same team in November that they were in September are usually the bad ones. There are going to be some downs this season, hopefully more ups. Let's approach the season with a little bit more of the humility that this team should be showing and save the resentment for a time when we have more than 1 win in the books. A large chunk of the posters didn't pick the Bills last week, either. kj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 And even if the Bills win Sunday, a visiting 0-2 Chargers team will be favored next week at the Ralph. Oh well. SD is a very good team. I actually think they will shock the world and beat Seattle at home this week. Either way - whether they come into Buffalo desperate at 0-2 or on a huge wave of momentum after beating the SB champs, I would pick SD to beat the Bills Week 3. I just have a feeling about that game, unfortunately. But right now I am too worried about Miami to worry about that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Football gods, once the Big Guy decides this vendetta against buffalo has gone on long enough, will be all over the Bills. The way a lot of them jumped in us like when we went 4-0 and then 5-1 with Trent a bunch of years back. The Football Gods actually don't know a lot about football. They watch a lot of ESPN.

TC in St. Louis Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Home underdogs are always a good pick in the league. I just looked at USA Today, and all 9 of their experts picked Miami to win the game!! That's awesome. I will be ready to watch this Sunday, and I hope the team is ready too.
