klos63 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 It's a regular season game, it's very important. It's one of 16 games that helps determine your final record and to make the playoffs, which is the goal of playing each year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nucci Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Not important at all. We should probably rest our starters to avoid injury. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nucci Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 53 minutes ago, PlayoffsPlease said: In the NFL games can range from meaningless (late season game after the team has missed the playoffs, or has clinched home field advantage throughout) to immediately critical (playoffs or other win or go home games). The Bills are slight underdogs to the Jets. The teams have a couple of similarities particularly young unproven QBs. From setting a tempo for the season, I feel as though this game is a bit out sized in importance to the typical week 1 game. If Allen significantly outplays Darnold and the Bills win, (as I expect), I think Jets fans will be devastated. Do you think the Jets players will be similarly de-moralized. In the unlikely event the situation is reversed, Darnold outplays Allen and the Jets win, I think Bills fans will be pretty disappointed. you think Bills fans will be disappointed if we lose? Is this a serious post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Otreply Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Being that it is 1/16 of the season and an AFCE game it is very important, frankly it is a must win, as is every division game. Go Bills!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Huge W if we win. Big L for the Jets if we win. its still week 1 but it could set a huge tone for the whole season. Still, you need to take every game individually. I also like bringing the season into 1/4. Anything 2-2 or better sets you up for success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Bills come out as flat as a pancake against the Jets on September 8th, I will be every bit as disappointed as I was back in 2012. The Bills have more talent across the board and the Jets coaching staff will be coaching their first game. Plus, Josh Allen had 5 total TD's against a Gase-coached team (I know it doesn't mean anything). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills win and 10-6 is doable. I agree with this...It is an enormous game...which I’m already incredibly nervous about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 When you only play 16 games, they are ALL very important. Games vs. divisional foes are DOUBLY important. So yeah, it’s a critical game on the schedule. 15 minutes ago, Don Otreply said: Being that it is 1/16 of the season and an AFCE game it is very important, frankly it is a must win, as is every division game. Go Bills!!! I Should have read this before I posted my response. Agree entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristocrat Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 i think it's a pretty critical game. this team is young and better to get off to a hot start rather than come from behind. the chargers always seem to start slow and then run the table to playoffs or just short. we don't have a vet team like that yet.

tbarg12 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 It's definitely important with it being a divisional game with possible playoff implications later in the season. With both teams being pretty active during the off-season, I think its going to be a close game with our defense showing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
