Dadonkadonk Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 As bad as they looked today, the Bills will win next week. Chargers are not that good. Bosa will not be 100% if he even plays. West coast team playing early game on the East coast. Take it to the bank. Allen will start and be ok. Shady will have a monster game as will Clay/Croom.

Happy Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 IMO, not out of the question the Bills bounce back and beat the Chargers. At the very least, we'll see how much resiliency the team has and how seriously they took the Balt loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bing Bong Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) Remember last year when the chargers were unbeatable so we "might as well see what we had in Peterman because we weren't winning that game" Let's see what we have in Pete.

KD in CA Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 The Chargers were certainly susceptible to the deep ball today, so that bodes well if Allen is playing*. Defensive would need to step it up but I can see that group playing much better. Unlikely, but not impossible. * Presumably Peterman has PTSD anyway when it comes to the Chargers.

MiltonWaddams Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Based on the game today, would anybody here, or anywhere, really be surprised by a 0-16 season? I'm generally an optimist and I don't see much rationale for optimism as far as the 18/19 season goes. I like the future with some of the young talent that is on the roster plus the financial and draft capital that is coming the Bills way....but the outlook for this season is horrific as it stands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Fan Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 The only thing I can say are the Chargers are traveling across the country for the 1pm start. Maybe jet lagged? The Arizona game at home 2 years ago nobody thought the Bills would win either. Although that game was 2 years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I’m one of those people that didn’t think Peterman was as bad as he was perceived to be. Well I was wrong on that one. But I think it’s a little tough to say the Bills will rebound from this thrashing, to win next week with a rookie QB. But I will say he looked pretty good and at least could zip the ball in there when he threw it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrober38 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Seems impossible that Josh Allen will outplay Phillip Rivers and his supporting cast. It could be another very lopsided loss. The Chargers offense is much better than the Ravens O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I didnt see anything happen today that would make me optimistic enough to believe they will win the game, but it's the NFL and anything can happen. The Bill's arent truly as bad as they were today, and the Chargers arent anything special that cant be beat. If the offence shows some life Nd can score they can win. I still laugh seeing people who believe the Ravens arent that great of a team. They have a very good defence and what looks like a much improved offence led by a good QB. The defence didnt start out great,but they were made to look much worse when the offence couldn't do anything to stay on the field. Sustain a few drives and keep the defence off the field for a little bit and the score wouldn't have looked as awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I could see it. Reminds me of the game against Arizona a couple years ago. The ravens defense dominated us week 1 and we played the cardinals at home the following week and crushed them. Maybe a better gameplan and being a home home opener will provide us with the juice we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

major Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Ravens could have scored 60 to 70 today if they had wanted to.

They will be down, and will have to open it up out of necessity. I think "managing" is the absolute worst approach for him at this point. I think he needs to make big plays, and learn how to manage as he goes. It will be an erractic season of ups and downs, but this team isn't going anywhere special this season anyway. I expect him to throw the ball around like a gunslinger whether the coach likes it or not, because that is Allen's instinctive response. I expect him to throw an interception or 2. I expect the running game to be much more effective because the opposition won't be sure to commit to stopping McCoy. I don't know if they will win, but I feel they will be a lot better.

Bills win 24-13 You're crazy. Until the Bills offense with either QB shows that it can move the ball against a defense that deploys maximum pressure on the offensive line, they won't win a game. Not hard to game plan against the Bills. Load up on the line and run or pass the defense will succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
