Again, I'm not a prediction guy this year, but I can't understand the rationale behind a statement like this based upon the four games played by both teams to date.

Look at his posting history. He says the same thing every week and he posts nothing else.

Bills 23 Bungles 20

 

The pass rush will do enough to force some mistakes by Dalton when they get behind. The short passing game is going nowhere with strong tackling by the bills in the short zones. Nail biter, but a win.

If the Bills can establish the run game on offense, and on defense are able to stay disciplined and keep AJ Green contained, they will win this game.

 

Similar game to the Panthers incoming IMO. Defensive, field position battle. Likely under 35 total points, but I wouldn't be surprised by under 30.

This means you Matt Milano and Zay Jones:

Prediction: Bengals over Bills
- I've been back and forth on this all week long. Reluctantly, I take the Bengals to win the game — even after selecting the Bills to win on the latest episode of the Bills Beat podcast. The difference between now, and when we recorded it on Thursday afternoon, was that the injury status to starting cornerback E.J. Gaines was not known.

If the shoe were on the other foot I can't imagine anyone giving the Bills any props if they had played Green Bay tough and only beat the hapless Browns. In one week the Bengals became better than the Broncos and Falcons. Is it because people really think they are that good or because people expect the Bills to turn back into pumpkins eventually?

It's the pumpkins thing. My thoughts have gone back and forth between the two camps all week and it's because deep down, I know that I expect the Bills to let me down, because they always do in games like this.

 

The optimistic side of me is saying "They looked good against the Browns, but it's only the Browns. They looked good for the first half against the Packers, but they also came out with a "new look" offense that the Pack didn't have film on. Once halftime came and Capers made adjustments, they looked pretty bad again (125 yards, 3 pts after the half)"

 

The pessimistic side of me is saying "Yeah but these are the games the Bills always lose. When you think there's good matchups (Bills DL vs Bengals OL, Bills run O vs Bengals run D) and they don't exploit them and they crap the bed."

Promo, there is no country wide conspiracy against the Bills.

Anyone suggesting that the "same old Bills" will show up and lay an egg today is allowing BBFS to dictate his reasoning. They may lose -- it's pretty much a coin flip -- but hanging the past 17 seasons on an entirely new organization is silly, particularly after watching the effort they've given so far this season.

 

A loss on the road against a talented team is nothing to cry about. A win will be quite impressive.
