Scott7975 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 It's more about having to turn around and travel for the game on the short week than anything else. Think of it this way: Buffalo has one rest/film/game plan day, one practice day, one travel day, and then the game; New Jersey has one rest/film/game plan day, one practice day, one walkthrough day, and then the game. It'd definitely tougher on the road team. Its tougher but its like an hour and a half flight. They can still do their walkthrough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putin Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Have you never played sports before? Maybe there's no such thing in your chess club but there are definitely trap games.I don't think it's a trap game, there is no way that the Bills are taking the Jets lightly ( at all ) , to me trap game means that were so confident about winning THIS game that were thinking about our NEXT game ( before taking care of this FIRST ) I starting to buy in to what McD is trying to do build here , and I think he will get the team ready to play on Thursday win or lose we are NOT overlooking the Jets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putin Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 So you guys think they will prepare just as hard for a game against a sub .500 team that they already badly beat when they have a short week, are banged up after a tough game they prepared hard for, have a long break they are making travel arrangements for and getting in touch with friends and family, then have another tough game after that they could very well be looking ahead to? Common sense tells you this could definitely be a game they look past and don't prepare for like they should. Everyone has done it whether it's in sports or in life. If you have a test in school you think is going to be easy in a class you usually do well in are you up all night studying or are you thinking "I got this" and you go and hang out with friends instead? It's human nature. To think that doesn't happen is naive. Some of these guys are 23-25 years old. Very easy to start feeling good about yourself and checking out during a week like this. There's definitely some truth to what your saying , but that's when having a good coach makes a difference, keep the team focused and motivated ( and most importantly) have a good game plan , make sure we can execute in practice and keep everyone FOCUSED on Thursday! I'm not guaranteeing a victory because you still have to make plays but ( win or lose ) I know McD will have the team ready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putin Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 To be honest I'm a little worried about this game because it's a division game, on a short week and on the road , I got to give Jets some credit people were saying this could be 0-16 year for them , they play tough didn't they lost couple of close ones against the patriots* and Falcons ? All I know is if we lose this game ( media/ even fans ) will be saying it's the same old Buffalo Bills who can't win the games they should I know every game is a must win, but I think this is one of those games that we HAVE to win Gooo Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherpa Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Its an easy three hour thing, and they're probably more focused than if it was a home game. The travel is simple. Not much more than a commute. The issue is coaching and the pre-travel prep for something they should have seen months ago. I'm sure they did.

Mat68 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 The Jets are a tough out. They also are not dynamic and have to win the turn over battle. The run game has changed so much since September i think Mccoy could have an even better game vs them. it comes down to turnovers and mistakes on the Thursday night game. Mccown is alot like Fitz he plays great in stretches than also very poor in others. They have imploded the last 2 weeks in the second half and fourth quarter. If Buffalo jumps out to a quick 14 or 10 point game it could get very ugly for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I know players don't like Thursday night games because it cuts down on recovery time from the previous Sunday, and they really do need that. The reality though is that both teams are hampered by the short week, so it doesn't really give either team an advantage, and since this game is only a short distance from Buffalo, the flight and transportation issues should not amount to much of a headache for the Bills. The bottom line is that the Thursday night factor should not hurt the Bills all that much. The Bills need to concern themselves more with controlling McCown's passing. McCown has experience and some ability, and Buffalo has given up a lot of yards through the air lately. Gaines is still dealing with the hamstring. I hope he recovers for Thursday, but the short week does make that less likely. I suspect Poyer may be ready, and Elston showed he can play, so that is good. I think the Bills will win this, partly because they are far more comfortable with the offensive and defensive schemes now than they were in the first game of the season. The learning curve with new schemes can be an issue for a team in their first year of using it, but Buffalo is getting past that now. I don't think the Jets have a lot more they can throw at the Bills now than they did in week one. Someone probably posted this somewhere, so forgive me for asking. How the heck do we watch this game in Rochester on Thursday night? NFL network? Amazon? Over the airwaves? I can never keep track.CBS and the NFL Network have been simulcasting Thursday Night football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
