Week 2 predictions: Jets at Bills on TNF

[YoloinOhio]

Jets 17

Bills 10 (1 TD off of fumble recovery)

if they aren't able to cause at least one Jalin Marshall fumble on a kick or punt return they are missing a big chance.

[Direhard Fan]

Why do I just feel terrible about this team and this game? It seems like a long year and we are only in to the second game. Bill's 17 and the Jesters 16. Oh I hope. If not we start 1 and 5.

[BmarvB]

23-17 Bills. Fitz throws his usual game ending INT with the game on the line.

 

He is certainly guaranteed for a game ending pick in every close game. I called it Sunday against the Bengals haha.

 

Bills sneak by the Jets 17-13

 

You saw it coming too huh?

[CodeMonkey]

Either 13-10 Bills or 13-10 Jets. It could go either way.

[The Crowing Rooster]

Bills lose 27 - 6

[PatsFanNH]

Hmm my prediction

 

bills: 10

Jets : 7

 

All points caused by turnovers.

[DC Tom]

15-4, Jets.

[It's in My Blood]

Classic bounce back game against a divisional rival at home.

 

I'm taking the Bills over the Jets. 24-14

[stinky finger]

Jets control both lines of scrimmage.

 

Jets 27

Bills 13

[12Kachy]

J E T S beat the Bufumbled Bills 35-7. Rob and Rex are seen after the game riding a double seated bike to Duffs to eat 100 chicken wings a piece. Doug Whaley is playing Madden 17 trying to figure out his next move and wondering why his attempts to raise Felton's FB ratings in the game are not translating to real life. Russ Brandon is playing sim city, trying to find another catchy saying to get fans in the seats. "Our uniforms were red, the fans were blue, why don't you come watch the team, they'll make you laugh too". The Pegulas forgot they own a football team and are talking to Tim Murray and Dan Blysma about the upcoming hockey season.

[Formerly Allan in MD]

Ryan sprains his neck shaking it after the 12th penalty. He's removed from the field and goes on IR, please.

[Prickly Pete]

I think the defense will play okay, and the offense will be bad, but get 17 points. But the Jets will get 24.

 

I really hope someone gets fired soon.

[John from Riverside]

1) Jets D-Line will overwhelm Bills O-Line. Those guys are tough, they sacked Dalton 7 times..

 

2) Teams who perform pre-game ceremonies are often over-hyped and come out and lay an egg.

 

3) Jets are due to beat the Bills.

 

Jets 33

Bills 13

They should be due to beat the bills since they have LOST two the bills both games last year......one of them in a game they needed to make the playoffs

 

let that soak in for a minute.....the bills....missing several key players......beat the jets....who were fairly healthy at the time.....when all they had to do was beat the bills and they are in the playoffs

 

but they didnt....and the teams are almost exactly the same

[QCity]

Ryan still knows the majority of this Jets' team better than their own coach. He also completely owns Fitz. This is one of the rare match-ups where I feel very confident about our coaching staff. With the help of 2 defensive TDs, the Kool-Aid will flow like Niagara Falls for 10 days after this trouncing.

 

Bills 38

Jets 17

[Nitro]

Bills have played NY Jets well of late. The Bills are not the best prime time team. They will play well and lose. Jets 20 Bills 16

[Buffalo Barbarian]

 

Bills 17 Jets 20

[Freddie's Dead]

Beyond the standard Mr. T prediction, I got Jest 24, Bills 13, as we stare down the barrel of 0-4. Gonna be a long year folks.

One thing is for certain.

It can't be overstated how bad Fitz is!

 

So we have that going for us. Which is nice.

 

Big hitter, the Lama.

There was a cool solar eclipse "last year" too. What's last year got to do with anything?

[RevWarRifleman]

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!

[Heitz]

FWIW, I was at the grocery store today and the guy working the checkout lane saw my Bills T and said "Ahhhhh, I think your Bills are going to CRUSH my Jets tomorrow and our season is over!"

 

I said don't worry, our fans feel the same way about our season

[FLFan]

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.

[BuffaloBaumer]

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.

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.

[DCbillsfan]

Jets by 2. Maybe 2 - 0.

[Maury Ballstein]

Bowles was 0-2 vs Rex last year. How is he better ?

All of this. So many Bowles and Fitz fanboys here.

[rpmfla]

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]

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.......

[Dorkington]

15-6, Jets win.

[SinceWarMemorial]

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

[KDIGGZ]

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

[Santana]

31-17 Jets

[buffalobill43]

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.

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.

Your reasoning is sound.

 

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.

[Bookie Man]

I don't bet against buffalo often. But I may tomorrow.

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.

23-10 Jets

[Marty McFly]

Tyrod Taylor comes back to form and pulls out some unexpected game breakers in a close game Bills win 20-17 after a Fitz pick to end the game.

[BuffaninATL]

Are the Sabres playing at home for a matinee Thursday to increase the DUI stats? Remember the good ole days of 1pm Bills games on Sundays followed by the 6pm puck drop?

 

Jets 12 (includes a safety)

Bills 10
