This is the official "are you a contender or pretender" game. Like every game we've played so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBaumer Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 (edited) Including the Jets loss, Bills will lose 4 out of 5 and still be in the mix. It's gonna look bad but the afc is bad.... Edited November 6, 2017 by BuffaloBaumer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 Two more takeaways from Week 9, beginning with... Man, is Drew Brees excited The Saints snuck up on the rest of the league. Here they are, one of five division leaders with a 6-2 record, and Drew Brees swears: “I’m just telling you, I see this team every day. We’re just scratching the surface.” Look at what Brees did in the feisty 30-10 rout of the Bucs: completed 81 percent of his throws for 263 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions, a tidy ballgame for someone used to far more explosive days. But the Saints don’t need that from Brees now. That’s because there’s a very good running game here with Mark Ingram and rookie Alvin Kamara (26 total rushes, 145 yards on the ground Sunday, and another 86 receiving yards), and a defense that’s allowed 15 points per game over the past six. Not so coincidentally, the Saints have their first six-game winning streak since 2009. “They say a quarterback’s best friend is a great running game and a great defense,” Brees said Sunday. “We’ve been getting both.” Another good friend is a good draft—and GM Mickey Loomis provided that. Marshon Lattimore, the 11th overall pick, is probably the leader for defensive rookie of the year. Kamara, selected in the third round, is a latter-day Reggie Bush, with 652 rushing/receiving yards and five touchdowns in eight games. And the defense, with Lattimore starring in a renewed secondary and Cam Jordan playing at his peak only with more help, is a legitimate top-10 unit.

Green Lightning Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Well, if the Jets retread of a journeyman carved us up, I'm not optimistic on stopping Brees, especially with little to no pass rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Lotsa Saints hype at the moment and I think they're reading their own clippings. Much like us after we beat the Raiders. Saints streak stops this Sunday. Book it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaviorPeterman Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 If this game was in NO line would easily be 8 - 10 points in the Saints favor. Either way I'll be very shocked if we cover or actually win the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatdrinks Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 And this is why the game vs Saints is the real contender or pretender game. At the halfway point, we now have a decent idea of which teams are good and which ones are not as good as advertised. Preseason prognostications based on last season are often removed from reality. Saying " just like every game so far" is really missing the point. Fans can say what they want, but we've seen why an early season matchup at ATL wasn't really what it was cracked up to be. The shine has come off many of the Bills wins. If they are going to be a playoff team, they are going to have to beat a few teams with winning records. If they can't do it at home, they probably can't win them on the road. The Saints have given up very few sacks anyway. Even if the Bills had a strong rush, it might be negated. They will have to win this game in other ways. Namely good coverage and sound tackling. The run defense will need to atone for the debacle of a performance vs Jets.

Boatdrinks Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 As per usual, I d say that wet weather will favor both passing offenses, as the receivers know where they are going. A wet ball will mean more fumbles are likely, but those are just luck of the draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
