FLFan Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Despite the suicidal tendencies of the fan community based on one game, supported by the Bills beat writers, I think we will find that last week was more of an aberration than the rule. Tyrod will bounce back, Roman will get his head out of his a$$, and the D will stifle the Jets. 23-16 Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBaumer Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 The bizarre part in all of this is that I can't ever remember writing the season off after week 1..... even back in the 80s. I really don't think the Bills have a prayer this year and after the Pats win and looking at the schedule, it looks pretty dark. Jets D twice Raiders away Steelers Cards Pats twice Seattle away Cinci 1 loss already How in the hell can anyone possible see playoffs out of that? That is assuming we win all the games not listed. If they do lose to the Jets, I really think you have to blow it up, I mean really blow it up Sabres style. 6 -8 wins would just be too hard to take again. Whaley spent 3 first round picks on Sammy and EJ and I think that alone is enough to wipe him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLFan Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I think the biggest difference in this game are the coaches. Bowles (sp?) way better than Rex, IMO. But I'm going with my heart in this one, plus the fan energy at New Era - Bills! I will believe Bowles is a better coach when he manages to beat Rex, which he could not do last year. Or perhaps when he gets his team ready to play in a final game in which the playoffs were on the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maury Ballstein Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I think the biggest difference in this game are the coaches. Bowles (sp?) way better than Rex, IMO. But I'm going with my heart in this one, plus the fan energy at New Era - Bills! Bowles was 0-2 vs Rex last year. How is he better ? I will believe Bowles is a better coach when he manages to beat Rex, which he could not do last year. Or perhaps when he gets his team ready to play in a final game in which the playoffs were on the line. All of this. So many Bowles and Fitz fanboys here.

rpmfla Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 (edited) Bills win because I want them to lose (because I want Rex gone) and rename the the Ralph to "Lap Band Stadium" (with only one very narrow entrance and exit).

Seasons1992 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Well I predicted a 6-10 season with that first loss at Balt...but I also picked the Bills to beat the Jets in their first meeting so I am sticking with my original prognostication Carpenter nails a 50+ with no time on the clock for a Bills 18-17 win over the Jets Not sure we can take this kind of drama late on a Thursday.......

SinceWarMemorial Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 As I said in an earlier thread.........the loss did not upset me........the way in which we lost did. we're not ready for this game. Jets 31 Bills 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 The only way we win is with a TD on special teams or defense. This offense was futile last week and the Jets have a much better D. I'll say 22-13 Jets. A big play could swing it in our favor 20-17 perhaps but it wont be a result of the offense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffalobill43 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Unfortunately, Jets win 24 - 6. Tyrod looked lost out there against Baltimore and Jets D is much better. I thought our D played reasonably well considering how weak we are at linebacker and safety. I think we are bottom 5 in the league in terms of roster depth, cannot afford anymore injuries or suspensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whaley spent 3 first round picks on Sammy and EJ and I think that alone is enough to wipe him out. Agreed. The team wasn't that good last season, and I can't see where people are expecting improvement. The offense is virtually the same players. I guess there should be some improvement because of continuity. Defensively, maybe people expect some improvement from Darby, and addition by subtraction of Mario Williams? Not much to hang your hat on. I can't think of a single positive development in the off-season. There was basically zero help from the draft. No important free agent acquisition. Any improvements are pretty much supposed to come from continuity, returning injured players, and development by players that were on last season's roster. Like "we were all set, player-wise. Now we just need to get everyone on the same page. Go Bills!" It's a bad joke, on the Bills fan. Edited September 14, 2016 by HoF Watkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as fans, we want to hold on to any glimmer of hope for as long as we can until our team once again reaches into our chest, grabs our heart, throws it to the ground and stomps on it. They play the game for a reason don't they? Otherwise, why not just throw in the towel right now and refuse to enjoy any of the remaining season, which is quite long yet.

I know, but at almost 2 decades now, it's time for some "real talk". I have seen this movie enough to know how it unfolds. It should have been obvious to Pegula after last season, but to see the same problems right out of the gate, and with nothing to point to as a tangible improvement....I can't play the fool for a whole season again. I wish you well. Edited September 14, 2016 by HoF Watkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
