Fadingpain Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I find that a lot of national sports reporting is not accurate. The local media/fans for each team are always the most knowledgable and tuned into the reality of day-to-day developments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 They just had a segment on Sports Center about the keys to the game. It's fine if they think the Jets will win but it was full of so much inaccurate info that it was making my head spin 1) the Bills have a sputtering offense that has only scored 17 or fewer points in our 4 wins. Wtf? 2) the Jets have a great secondary that can play man on the Bills receivers and shut them down. Oh really? Last I checked they are starting backups at both safety spots and at one of the CB's. 3)Mark Sclereth said the Bills defense isn't playing well because the DL has to drop back in coverage. Didn't he watch the last game? Or did he just go by what he read in the newspaper last month? 4) the Jets have an overall better team with more talent. Wtf they can't be serious Just completely idiotic and ignorant. I can't believe they would spread such nonsense to the nation. I have friends from college that live elsewhere that buy into this nonsense and then repeat it to me and I just have to roll my eyes. Nice work ESPN "experts" 1) He knows his stats! 27 against Indy; 41 against Miami; 17 against Ten; 33 against Miami2. Average = 29.5 points! Overall we're averaging over 26 points per game 8th in The League. 2) http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-videos/0ap3000000577533/Is-Revis-Island-now-inhabitable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dulles Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Fair enough. It's actually a great matchup. I'm excited to see our CB's on Marshall and Decker. The guy I'm most worried about is Kerley. Robey? I find that a lot of national sports reporting is not accurate. The local media/fans for each team are always the most knowledgable and tuned into the reality of day-to-day developments. Like when they predict the starting QB during TC?

machine gun kelly Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 This is why I rarely watch ESPN except for Berman's Sunday morning. They never seem to know anything about the Bills. I get a much more balanced, and accurate opinions etc. from NFLN and NFLR. The guys on NFL Radio seem to know the Bills better than most radio guys. They are also fairly unbiased. When I use the WGR App, I find either the local guys ar too biased for or against players and coaches on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No bias either way, no BS, no attempt to be funny or playing into narratives - just staight X's and O's. Murph has him on the Friday night before games and he's like a living breathing all-22 of both teams. He just talks for like 15 minutes and some think he's boring but I find it to be the most informative segment of the week.

KDIGGZ Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 i think I'll pass based on your post above Good choice. To summarize: 1)Bills defense is struggling 2)Revis is going to shut down Sammy 3)Some love for the Bills from their fantasy football guy saying Jets like to blitz and Tyrod has the best completion percentage vs the blitz in the NFL (not to mention his escapability). But he went on to say not to play Sammy because he's a boom or bust type player and he won't have back to back big games 4)Teddy Bruschi actually picked the Bills to win and Tyrod is the difference maker 5)Schlereth said the Jets CB's are too good in coverage so he's taking the Jets (lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice work ESPN "experts" God Bless the handicapped The one factual item I can clarify id this - The Bills have scored 17 or fewer points twice 1 W and 1 L. 10 & 14. In 8 games - 25.25 points per game on the offense. Total 26.125 per game with the pick 6. NYC big market, Buffalo small market They cater to big markets to maintain their advertising money....I never watch ESPN SC... the only time i will watch ESPN is tonight and that will be it Big market??? there are 2735 ticket listings offered from $56 to $1334 each for tonight's game.

MDH Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Bills have an opportunity to show everybody what type of team they are with back to back prime time games. Their play will speak louder than any talking heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 No the only place they have a clear advantage is in record which trumps all by a factor of like maybe 10 to 1. So if we have better talent or at least equal to the Jet's which everyone seems to be pointing out, why is their record better? The only place that I think the Jets have a clear advantage in talent is at LB. I might give them the nod at WR since they're top 3 are healthy and Buffalo is missing Harvin, but I think that's a debate. If we go down position-by-position, they have it better at LT and C, but Buffalo has better OGs, so OL is probably a wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year they are asked to be three yards off the ball and they are getting bottled up and not getting to the ball in time. It's somewhat simplistic and not always the case of course but it's also true to a large extent. Edited November 12, 2015 by Kelly the Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team lost to Jacksonville. Do you believe they lose to Jax if Tyrod and Sammy and Karlos play? Yeah I know all teams have to deal with injuries. But that counts a lot of other guys being injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills have no excuses tonight. If they want to be considered one of the better teams in the AFC and get the inside track to the playoffs they have to win tonight. This is as close to a "must win" as you can get in the 9th game of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
