Virgil Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 This game will say a lot about our team. Â Denver was a very nice win. Â Beating ATL in their barn would be a GREAT win. We beat them at home, there is absolutely no team we cant beat. I dont expect a win, but neither would any team traveling there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 He's saying they will win by 25... Â Personally, I feel like our def will slow them down but not shut them down. To me it's more of a story of our Offense vs their Defense. If we score 28 points, we win the game. Â I wouldn't even begin to try to predict the outcome, though. Generally, these are the types of games we can steal, and there's one every year, but the matchups are so wacky it's hard to tell. Â I don't know. I don't see them blowing the bills out by 25. I am starting to believe in McD and this defense. ryan is one of those QB's when you're in his face he gets rattled and will make mistakes. Â Â hopefully McD has the team ready for the challenge.

True, but Matty Ice is one of the best in the league and their offence is almost unstoppable at home. I see like a 27-13 falcons win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see like a 27-13 falcons win  The truly amazing thing about Matty Ice is that he's so non-descript that I'm constantly thinking of him as a second- or third-year player, and...wait, really? This is his ninth year? Well, ****... At 3-0. if they lost to a non conference team its no biggie. Still would be on the way to the playoffs.  In fact, losing to a non-conference team actually helps their playoff chances... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife's co-worker did have a big Super Bowl party, but that was more of a drinking and eating event (which IS kind of a Buffalo thing! ). Now, UGA and Georgia Tech fans? That's another story!

Iron Maiden Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) I was surprised we beat Denver...I would be shock if we win in Atlanta....but if we do, then there's no reason we can make the playoffs this year....That offense is our 1st real test....Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, the duo of Freeman and Coleman.... Â I'm actually a member at TATF...they, in general, are knowledgeable....It's a nice forum...and, after last year, they hate NE almost as much as we do..

CommonCents Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 This just doesn't make sense. Expect us to get gassed? We didn't gas out in 85 degree weather at Car with no offense.. This D has proven it's legit I'm, Ryan is coming off a 3 int game against Detroit! How I see it is we run at will and kill them with the PA, and our DL will disrupt Matty Ice , Trevor was the next Manning this time last week, just remember this. The D is legit , our run game bounces back, Taylor has a similar game.. Â I predicted 27 16 Bills last week. My prediction will come Thursday, but I guarantee it's a close game, no team, including NE is going to get an Easy W I said the Bills would lose at Carolina then win against Denver. As soon as the Denver spread came out I said it over and over again the Bills would win or cover at worst. Â Gassed against a wounded Cam Newton and a couple big slows? This is a little bit different don't yah think? Freeman and Coleman compliment eachother well and both of them are mismatches against our backers in coverage. Julio is Julio. Â Gabriel has the speed and Sanu has the size...it's an elite, well rounded combination of scoring power. They will gas this defense if they control the TOP. Mark it down.

Kmart128 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Atlanta goes to one superbowl and all of a sudden they think they are elite. The year before last year they were an 8-8 team. They are not unbeatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like McCaffrey and Stewart, Anderson and Charles, we'll shut down the run n make them 1 dimensional. The key will be to hold them to FG's.The positive is this defense isn't on the level of Car/Denver, like I said,I expect our run game to bounce back, play action to continue to hurt them.

BringBackFergy Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Last week I was all over the Bills having a real shot to beat Denver.  This week, I think Buffalo catches a beat down at the hands of an Atlanta team with too much firepower.  Good defenses get run out of that building routinely, and I don't see Buffalo's offense being able to sustain drives long enough to keep the defenders fresh.  I'm thinking it'll end up something like 30-13 Atlanta  And you know what? I won't think any less of this team if that happens Well said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elite Poster Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) They need the offense to control the game. Much like the Denver game. Long drives, get points. It gets understated how important even just 3 point drives are. The Denver game had a lot of drives go for points, 3 > 0.
