NoSaint Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 we have known for years that brady is the piece that makes it all work out. they went 3-1 without him (and for a stretch without his backup)((and without gronk!)). i wouldnt go counting them out just because we won.

The Big Cat Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 To be fair, they played the Dolphins, who look like they're in a complete hell spiral and they SHOULD have lost to the Cardinals because of Bellicheat's indefensible clock management. They were saved in that game by a SHANKED FG attempt from a guy who drilled a 60 yarder against us. They should be 2-2. Bellicheat's brilliance through the first three games was vastly overstated, as evidence by their inability to do...anything yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Not having Gronk hurts them tremendously. Who knows when he will be back to close to 100%. He says he was but he clearly wasn't. When he gets back and teams have to worry about Gronk more than Bennett, then add known Nazi, Julian Edelman, and they will be tough to stop. Not to mention that's when Blount gets little attention and can blow through people. They're going to be a powerhouse on offense IF Gronk comes back healthy.

Through the quarter pole he was what he was never meant to be: a feature back. I'm wondering if some of those miles take their toll down the stretch...

Agreed...Gronk's injury looks worse than described. Not having he AND Marsha is killing their offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 That might be a big IF KTFABD. Johnny Hammersticks mentioned it upthread. Gronk doesn't look like Gronk. Maybe his surgeries are piling up on him. His first and only catch of the year was an 11 yarder in the 2nd half of yesterday's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan130 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Until they actually get knocked off by someone before the afc championship game, i will always say they are the team to beat in the NFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatsFanNH Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 The Bills have been playing with 2nd and 3rd string QBs for 15 years and have found ways to win (albeit not much). I really think that if the oline does not improve over there in Boston, that run of defenses they will face could prove to be quite a challenge. Difference is they have shown the ABILITY to run in 4 games. Add in a deadly passing attack and now a D has to choose its poison. Brady and Jimmy G release time is under 3 seconds. Jacoby yesterday held on to the ball forever and caused a lot of his own problems. The Pats are still a top team till Brady and BB retire. They will beat most teams with Brady behind center. Steelers are all O. Their D is not that good at all I see 4 losses there, maybe as many as 5. I see 2 maybe 3. I don't see Seatle doing any damage in the razor.

Dave in Avon Lake now Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Even with the "gauntlet" coming up with Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Seattle & Buffalo and suppose they lose all 4, I doubt they lose more than one game the rest of the way. That makes them 10-6 at worst. I loved what the Bills did yesterday, but we will have to win 9 of our remaining 12 games that includes that same gauntlet. Tough to see us winning the AFC East with that schedule. I think 10-6 is the best the Bills can hope for and it will come down to a tiebreaker in the conference among Bills, Ravens, Raiders, Chiefs and Bengals with NE, Pitt, Houston & Denver winning the divisions.

Kirby Jackson Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 They are a pretty good football team with arguably the best coach and QB ever. Without Brady they are about a 9-7 team with 7-9 talent. With Brady they are about 11-5 or 12-4. They play solid defense although their pass rush is weak. They lack dynamic athletes but have great tight ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deranged Rhino Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I see 2 maybe 3. I don't see Seatle doing any damage in the razor. I could see Seattle going either way because it's at home for the p*ts. I don't see them beating Denver on the road or Pittsburgh. I could see them losing to the Bills again, though it's too far out to make that kind of definitive call in a week-to-week league. I also think Baltimore will be a tougher game than expected, primarily because the Ravens usually play the p*ts tough and now this year they seem to have rebounded well from a down year. 3 more loses at least to me -- but it could go as high as 5 if Tommy Terrific gets clocked by Chronos... It's victory Monday, I'm allowed to dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So W as for Baltimore , they don't scare me like before so a W. Bills in Buffalo always tough, but I expect a pissed team that will be reminded over and over how they were embarrassed at home esp the D. So toss up So 2.. And a Brady is Free Monday here so we are cocky SOB again 😛😛😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
