JPicc2114 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Oakland isn't as good as you think. 30th in rush defense. The Bills could embarrass them on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBaumer Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Seattle and NE are the only 2 on there where I would expect a loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Oaklands defense is trash, but when was the last time we won in Oakland? Even when they suck we lose there. We just have to make sure we can handle them without Dareus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Oaklands defense is trash, but when was the last time we won in Oakland? Even when they suck we lose there. It's a new day and a new way. They just got abused by KC at home. Not a formidable opponent by any objective measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 The only game I worry about is at Oakland. That place is a house of horrors to play at. I still have bad memories of Travis Henry fumbling at the goal line there, with the bright sun and infield dirt. Ugh. Bills have not won in Oakland since 1966. It is definitely a house of horrors. But something has to give... right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 As much as a 4-2 record, or a possible 5-2 record is nice... I can't shake the feeling that the teams we beat are not very good. If we can give the Pats w/ Brady a run for their money, I'll be more optimistic, if not, I'm still thinking .500 or below in the end. BBFS. Miami - Win New England - Loss (we never Brady, sorry) @Seattle - Loss (West Coast Trip and Prime Time = Doom) BYE - @Cincinnati - Win (Coming off a bye, should be ready) Jacksonville - Win (It's the Jags) @Oakland - Loss (West Coast, Raiders win the West) Pittsburgh - Loss (Big Ben is back) Cleveland - Win (It's the Browns) Miami - Win (Finally a cold phins game) NY Jets - Win (We have something to prove) 10-6. The Cincy game is the wildcard game for me. If we beat Oakland and Cincy, win and lose the rest to who I predict and who we should, we would own the wild card slots. It's a real possibility. The fact is this team, as they are playing right now, can beat anyone. We are not outclassed in any matchup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

section122 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 One of the ironies of the NFL being a passing league. Teams forget how to defend a good running team As teams get smaller to defend the quick pass they become vulnerable to the "ground and pound." The Bills zigged when other teams were zagging. It is how Seattle was dominant and how NE has been trending especially now that they have 2 big body tes and blount being used even with Brady's return. The Bills are actually ahead of the curve!

bisonbrigade Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 This is a very tough schedule and 8-8 is entirely possible. Home vs Away games are the real killer. Oakland and Seattle on the road is brutal. We have 5 very loseable games to play OK Debbie Downer have you even watched the last 4 games? 8-8 sure, try thinking a little bigger.

Fadingpain Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Impossible to count wins and losses in the NFL before the games are played. Keep in mind nothing is likely to stay as it is today by the time these games are played, simply as a result of injury for both teams if nothing else. What if Shady had been lost for a month or the season yesterday? Every prediction on that schedule would have immediately gone out the window. What if Big Ben can't play against us? That's a huge difference maker. Take it a week at a time. We should beat Miami and we have to do so. Keep building confidence. That's important!

Dorkington Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 BBFS. You'll have to explain this acronym to me? And also, do you disagree? The teams we've beaten so far have some serious weaknesses, don't you think a Tom Brady led Patriots will be a good barometer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
