Virgil Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 If the Bills keep it close, Ill take it. I think we will learn a lot about our defense but I cant think of a single team that would be favored in Atlanta right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 We are going to have to put up at least 25 points to have any shot at winning. Atlanta's offense is elite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottebillsfan2 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) Take the bills and the points. All the money in Vegas from casual betters will go on the Falcons. Line will move down to 6 after the pro gamblers go on the Bills. Edited September 25, 2017 by Charlottebillsfan2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) We are going to have to put up at least 25 points to have any shot at winning. Atlanta's offense is elite. Yeah, they are going to get their yards and points. Our best chance is to keep them to a bunch of FG's in the red zone and put pressure on Ryan and force him into hurried throws...he threw 3 INTs today, he will put the ball up at times. Need to play another turnover free game on offense. I don't see them pulling this one out, but I don't think we get blown out either, our defense is legit. Atlanta doesn't have a great D so we can put up points on them as well and probably get the running game on track too.

Mark Vader Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) I read today that the Bills have not allowed a passing touchdown.....that will change next week. This will be the biggest test for our defense, so far, this year. It will be very difficult playing against a hostile crowd in that new stadium. The Bills will have to bring their "A" game. The Falcons are dynamic. Easily the best team in the NFC. I'll still be cheering my heart out for the Bills, to pull off the upset. Today showed me that the Bills can play with anyone.

The Falcons will certainly present the toughest test thus far in the early part of the season. They have a well balanced attack with Ryan, Jones, and Freeman leading the offense. They did, however, get lucky today against the Lions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlbillsfan1975 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 The Falcons are a stacked team. The Bills are going to need Ryan to have an off game. Ryan had one today and the Falcons still found a way to win. I will be there. Looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockinon Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 This could be a much more favorable matchup for us. 3 interceptions? Put the pressure on and force some mistakes and Buffalo could walk away with a big win in Atlanta. We are still trying to figure out just how good this team is. Might just be better than we thought. Atlanta's defense could get gashed. This should be a bounce back week for our running game. Mix in another solid day from Tyrod and it's game on. Three interceptions.....really?

Sami, Julio, Freeman, Coleman, Gabriel, and Hooper are all very good skill players. Be interesting to see Kyle going against Levitre . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristocrat Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Gotta play atl like Chicago did. Stop that run game and get our run game going even more. Win turnover battle.

WickedGame Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I see this being a competitive game. It's their stellar offense vs. our stellar defense, and on the flip side their defense isn't great. The have some pass rush, but there's hay to be made over the middle. Look for Shady and Clay to have opportunities, and I'm calling it: This is Zay's best game so far in 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinTheMagician Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I don't expect a W here, but Atlanta's D is going to seem pretty nice to be up against after Carolina on the road and Denver. We need to be able to run the ball, and I believe we will do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Falcons have no heart, we all saw that in last year's SB. They can get got! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaviorPeterman Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Not surprised at all by this line, Falcons are an elite team and I think the bills probably need at least 24 points at a bare minimum to have a chance. And while I don't think the Falcons defense is as good as what we've seen the last few weeks, this will by far be the best offense we've faced all season and they will get theirs at home. Will be interested in studying how McD's Panthers defense fared against the Falcons why he was there and certainly his familiarity with them will be useful but not a real advantage. Can the Bills shock the world next week? Probably not but another strong showing and being in the game until the end might go a long way in terms of any real playoff talk.

MarlinTheMagician Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I agree. If we are competitive, and I expect us to be, team deserves some respect. One thing I fear is we are dangerously thin. A few injuries could kill us pretty easily I fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in Alaska Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I'm realistic, but it is fun to think that it just might be possible to knock off the second undefeated team, back-to-back. Also, it would be nice to hand the Falcons their first loss in their knew stadium. You know, one for the history book. On a side note, that stadium is beautiful. When we get a new one in Buffalo, something like that one would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill_with_it Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 If we can get their concession prices I'm on board! They made a big deal about that, however, I would be willing to bet the ticket prices and psl if there any are extremely expensive. So the prices for the snacks are to suck up any extra money the consumer is willing to part with in a clever market acheme thats talked about on every game telecast I have heard watching them.

Mat68 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 McD's experiance facing the Falcons should help with having a solid gameplan. I think the oline and running game comes back and Buffalo will have a shot to win in the 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsbackto81 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Yes, I cannot believe they overturned that touchdown for the Lions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In Detroit no less. Now imagine the same play in Gillette Stadium. Think it gets over turned then? Getting Dareus & Glenn back would be nice. ---------------------------------------------------------- Great point! A lot of fans forget we had a 1/3 of our cap not playing against Denver. Gonna need Dareus against that offense to pressure Ryan into a couple picks.

eball Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Bills have the #1 scoring defense in the NFL (37 pts through three games) and are 4th in yards allowed per play. I don't think this will be an Atlanta blowout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think this will be an Atlanta blowout. Atlanta will cover the 8.5. Ryan and company are too much.

Dorkington Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Considering how Siemian picked apart our zone until we put pressure on him, I'm assuming Ryan is going to absolutely destroy us. Keeping expectations low on this one (but I did against Denver and Carolina as well). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
