It's amazing that the Bills are 7.5 point underdogs to a 1-5 team and that almost no one thinks they can win. Shows the lack of respect for the team nationally.

The offense has been stagnant most of the season but the Defense has been outstanding since MCDERMOTT “spoke” with LF @ halftime week 2.  

 

 

7.5 seems high to me

 

 

But I’m not an expert

Hmm let's make fun of the experts who have been more right than wrong on this team...

 

Homerism much here? And I though BBMB was bad..

 

Many are saying it’s what we expected from them. 

 

A 1-5 team and 7.5 does seem a lot

 

The “all star” Andrew Luck hasn’t been winning games. 

 

 

Even last year when the Bills had a winning record not many picked the Bills

 

So yeah.   “making fun” of them is warranted

Not much love for the Bills D from the “experts” in the national media...

 

 

Unlike many Bills fans, especially the homers, the "experts" watch numerous NFL games every week so they have a good idea of how futile the Bills are on offense ... even before they had to start their QB du jour.

To be honest.  

 

Id bet many of them don’t.

What about the defence though as per my statement?

 

The way they are playing they should be ready to give Luck plenty this week, but it’s never mentioned..

I'd guess that their picks are opposite of the bills record when picking against bills (4-2).

 

It's pretty easy to pick against the bills this year barring a great defensive performance and average play from the offense in the same game.

Right.  We all know that media professionals in general don't bother to prepare for their jobs, especially former NFL players.

Who's saying that the Colts are going to blow the Bills out except possibly the Las Vegas bookmakers?   Most don't think the Bills can score many points, so all Indy has to do is score one more.

Some do, and based on what some write it is apparent that they don’t.  

 

Ive read some their stories and they don’t  speak of what the Bills do right.

I like them with the spread this week... same as last week..

So do I.  I would imagine most people would especially this week.  Luck has added a bunch of garbage time numbers to his stats and I think the defense will shut him down most of the game.

We beat them last year with the mighty Joe Webb III at qb.  I like our chances 

Lol.   Yeah.  For half a game and the Colts scored 7 while Webb didn’t until Shady broke one long run in OT

Seriously, that has to be some kind of record.

Yeah, there is no way. There are a few that do watch many games, but most of them watch highlights and look at the stats, just like the rest of us.

Every ounce of which is justified.

 

We'll get respect when we do something to earn it.

22-13 Colts. Anderson makes a few nice throws, but is intercepted 2 times and gets sacked a bunch. Neither team runs with authority. J Mills has his worst outing to date as J Sheard  has multiple sacks. Clay has a nice game.

Does Wind Mills ever have a decent outing?

Probably more so for the QB's as opposed to the team. I mean, seriously, we just pulled a journeyman QB out of retirement and he's starting.

Every single week people whine that nobody in the national media respects the Bills.  We're starting a QB we signed less than two weeks ago who hasn't started a game since 2016 and who had his only good year 11(!) years ago.  The fact that he gives us the best chance to win is downright appalling.  Our defense is playing light's out right now but our offense is just putrid.  If Anderson can jump start it and the defense holds then we can talk about how the media dumps on us unfairly but until then this team needs to actually earn respect, not just feel entitled to it.
