Predict the Score: Week 2 - Chargers at Bills


The Bills Blog

Recommended Posts

Apologies if I missed the thread, but I don't see one.

 

My prediction of a 34-6 Bills' loss last week turned out to be overly generous.
 
Unless/until the Bills prove me wrong, I will continue to pick them to lose big. The most important positions in the NFL are offensive line, defensive line, and quarterback, and the Bills are the worst in the league at all three.
 
Three predictions for this week:
 
1. The Bills' thin secondary will have no answer for Philip Rivers. Again, an absent pass rush and soft coverage will leave the middle of the field wide open for the Chargers to exploit all day. It will look easy.
 
2. Despite missing Joey Bosa, the Chargers will harass Josh Allen into a minimum of two turnovers. Allen will also throw one or two directly to LA defenders, but the unusual zip on the ball will result in the INTs being dropped.
 
3. The fans—I will be one of them—will be rowdy for the Bills' home opener, but it won't matter as the game will be out of hand by halftime and all the talk of home-field advantage will fly out the window before you've even finished your first order of Pizza Logs.
 
Result: Chargers 41, Bills 7

52-14 Chargers

 

we’re in for a long year.  Still a good decision to start Allen.  As mentioned on NFLR yesterday by Coach Weiss, P. Manning stated his most valuable year from a learning experience was his first year with the Colts, where they went 3-13, had a crappy line, no talented WR, bad defense, etc.  Sound familiar.

 

Allen is either going to be good or not.  He can’t learn on the bench.  I hope all of us are wrong, our defense becomes what we expected, and Allen throws deep successfully so they can’t stack the box and Shady runs wild, but that is wishful thinking.
