ctk232 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) 3 point dogs after whooping up on Denver and Atlanta? I kind of like being the underdog! I LOVE being the underdog - gives this team a reason to show up which, as we all know, is our Achilles heel: consistency. I remember the year we fleeced the Chiefs in the opener back with Gailey and Fitz, started out strong and all the experts were picking the opponents for the first few games. Once we started winning and media hype began to come around, we just tanked. I ALWAYS want the media to pick the other team, call me superstitious but I think it matters to us imho.

26CornerBlitz Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 @PFF Top graded RBs through 4 weeks Shady being in the top four is a little surprising to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 @JoeBuscaglia #Bills HC Sean McDermott said DE Shaq Lawson looked good in practice today. Sounds potentially promising for Sunday. 538.com ELO Ratings for Week 5 has the Bills with a 51% chance for a win: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2017-nfl-predictions/games/ @JoeBuscaglia I honestly think Milano has chance to grab hold of this WLB job & not look back this year.

buffaloboyinATL Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 @BradleyGelber Guess ESPN learned their lesson after picking against the #Bills repeatedly... Man, whats with all the love for the Dolphins. Also, the "experts" are so afraid to pick against the Pats* it is ridiculous. On paper, tonight's game looks like a lock for Tampa to me.

We have TNF (NE vs. TB), the Sabres' season opener vs. MTL, and the ALDS (NYY vs. CLE) all on at the same time. I'll have all three on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnBonhamRocks Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Matt Cassel may start for Tennessee Titans are probably starting Matt Cassel w/ backup Brandon Weeden Their defense giving up 57 points to a rookie QB probably doesn't help things either.

26CornerBlitz Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 Bengals RT Fisher added to injury report The Bengals are already expected to be without TE Tyler Eifert and rookie WR John Ross for Sunday’s game against the Bills. On Thursday their starting right tackle was added to the injury report. Jake Fisher was added to the team’s report as a limited participant due to a back injury. His status on Friday will bear watching. Veteran Andre Smith is Cincinnati’s swing tackle. The Bengals starting corners moved from limited to full practice participation on Thursday, so it appears that Adam Jones and Dre’ Kirkpatrick will be good for Sunday’s game as well as TE Tyler Kroft, who has been filling in for Eifert.

yungmack Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 It does get easier. Tampa, whilst stout up front, have the 31st ranked passing defense in the league so far; Oakland can't stop the run and are a liability in the secondary; The Saints whilst improving and trending the right way are no better than average; We play New England twice who suck on defense at the moment; We also play Miami twice.... who not unlike Tampa have been okay in run D but have sucked in pass D. And whilst I was reading this, I thought, "Who's the English fop logging in here"? Good Lord! Gunner Bill? Whilst reading your posts all this time, I had no idea. Well, it's tea time. Other than that they are awesome! They are one of the "pet" teams of NFLN and ESPN. That's why God invented DVR's. And good sports bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyBills Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I don't think Buff>GB.... but I do think Green Bay don't match up as well to Cincy as we do. As you ay they don't have the D-Line to make the most out of Cincy's o-line weakness. On that night I disagree, I remember watching and was shocked at GB injury report, it was 10 ,11 deep Bengals RT Fisher added to injury report Shaq is back? Awesome, our DL is deep and will have a huge impact on this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wagon Circler Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 It is obvious that the Bills are about 20 times better than last year. However I do not believe they are a contender and are certainly due for a stinker. 37-12 bengals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
