HardyBoy Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Both teams played slow, it does not give any insight into either of these teams. Four days is way too soon. Seriously, go outside right now, and just dive 10 times on the ground. Then do it again in 4 days. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 The jets played like they had all the time they needed to go full tilt. I didnt see any slowness at all by the Jets. Someone suggested the team may have been pumped up by the terrorist activity in NYC with the nut who drove down the bike path... I can see that being a motivator, not sure it really was however. I agree the Jets didn't seem nearly as tired as us despite having equal rest time. I also think this game will prove to be an anomaly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was this Are You Afraid of the Dark episode on Nick at Night back in the day where this girl, who was the worst on her team, wishes she could be the best player on her basketball team. Instead of getting good, everyone else ended up becoming worse, so technically she became the best on her team, but we Oregon Trail millennials learned a life lesson...that is what this game reminded me of.

MAJBobby Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Doesnt matter anyway. The NFL was never going to let the Jets lose this game. It was honoring the first responders game and a attack happening earlier in the week as well. NY was always going to win this game the NFL was going tk make sure of that.

MarlinTheMagician Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Counts as an L for sure, but does not indicate anything greater. Bad set-up for Bills tonight. On road, in short week, division opponent, playing for their season, that we had already beat once, Bills coming off a big win. Stuff happens. When team is more mature it will not let a letdown like this happen. We played stupid for the first time all year. How many penalties? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyBills Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Road TNF games are brutal. TNF in general is brutal. 1/8 games I saw this team get clearly outplayed on O and D and that 1 game was a Thursday game on the road.. If this was Sunday or Monday I'd be extremely concerned. I'm not concerned. I don't expect to see the Bills look like tonight at any other point in season, tonight was an anomaly. They lacked their trademark- fundamentals. I attribute that to 3 days prep , on road.. Not making excuses, just my thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Curious what road teams records are on Thursday in comparison to all other games. Still no excuse for the lack of focus. 84-56 since 2006. 60% of games won by home team. That's slightly above a home team's winning percentage overall (around 58%) since 1990.

That's cool! Much more interesting than the Bills game! Get out there and check it out. By the way, for anyone still up, the NFL Network is now replaying the game! You can watch it all again!

Johnny Hammersticks Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 It means a win or a loss. But it doesnt mean a season. Yes it does. If what I am reading on here is correct, then we are out of the playoff hunt all together after last night. Might as well fire Dennison while we're at it, release Jerry Hughes, and bench Tyrod Taylor. Oh yeah, also Marcel Dareus would have single handedly won the game for us last night.

Doc, do you know how often the underdog wins on Thursdays vs. Sundays? My impression is that it's significantly higher, but in light of this stat, maybe I'm wrong ... I'm not sure about the underdog but the best way to see how much it matters is the home teams record against the spread. The only info I could find was a 2014 article http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/10/03/home-teams-have-fared-well-since-start-of-thursday-night-tv-package-in-06/ that says the home team covers 55.6% of the time (48.1% for other games) at the time the article was written so there is some credence to the theory that home teams have more than an advantage on Thursday than Sat./Sun..

Unless the spread has that already built in, which it should, so you got a bit of a causality thing happening looking at just the spread. I like the idea of using the spread, but would look for spreads that favored the home team more than a standard prime time game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 People keep saying both teams had the same time to prepare. That isn't true. The road team has one less day. Even with a short flight, you lose a day of practice. With the mandatory Tuesday off, the Bills had almost no opportunity to practice for the Jets. Mondays are meetings, no practice. Tuesdays are off. Wednesday they had a short window before traveling. Thursday they are in a hotel. Meanwhile the Jets have all of Wednesday to practice and part of Thursday.

Seemed like Jets won every single one on one match up. Even though what you are saying is correct, there is no excuse to be losing 34-7 in the 4th quarter against a supposedly inferior opponent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I've never been able to figure out why the league doesn't limit Thursday night games to the middle weeks of the season and only schedule teams are coming off their bye.

zow2 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 No excuses, they beat our butts.. It was noticeable, however, that Buffalo had zero intensity on D or O. They tried to create fake intensity and it showed by a couple late hits... I thought NY was intense from the start. They really roughed up Tyrod and it was borderline dirty, but they played it right to the border. I saw a couple times a defender would rake Tyrod over the head with an extra knee shot or elbow to the facemask....stuff that was unnecessary but the refs didn't think it was late enough to call penalties i guess. The Jets really roughed us up badly on both sides. I expect the Bills to be way more intense than NO on Sunday. Hopefully they channel that energy into a W and not losses like they did in the Rex era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
