Is anybody else having anxiety about game one?


Recommended Posts

I'm all nervous and jerky with a high level of anxiety.  Facing Greggo and having to have our defense pitch a shutout? I can't think of a worse game to lose this year then game one.

 

Someone please tell me my fear is wrong.  It kinda sucks too that all the "beat reporters" are talking up Darnold. We need Oliver to take him out on the first series and beat Carp lips  to the punch.

 

Talk me off the ledge!.....probably stepping into one  there.

I wouldn’t stress about it. Cuts aren’t coming up until after game 4, so let’s just hope you make the team first. Just keep studying your playbook and hope that you don’t get that knock on the door. I hope this helped. God bless!

Well I don't think our defense needs to pitch a shutout and I don't think it's any less winnable the last year.

The Jets are going to be weak at LB and secondary.  I expect some max protection schemes to give Allen a clean pocket and the receivers will have a good day.  In addition, that scheme has been weak against the run in the past.

 

One question for you - how has Williams done his last few teams?  Exactly.

I’m not a doctor and I don’t play one on tv but I think Xanax might help

You should be worried. Just think about how your life will change if the Bills lose week 1.

 

You can kiss life as you know it goodbye if the Bills fail on the field.

this is why i average starting one thread a year.....guess i'll never learn

No anxiety at all.

I live among Jet fans. They overhype their team every season.  This year’s Jets are overhyped, like usual.  Their offensive line is nothing special.  They’ve got two starting linebackers out.  Their secondary is questionable, at best.  If our “new” offensive line hold up against their front, then we’ve got no problems.  I’ve got no worries about our defense.  None. 

 

Get off off the ledge, bro. We got this first one.

Yeah I'm nervous, not yet necessarily.  When game time comes around the anxiety will be there.  

 

I think there's a lot of importance for our franchise in this game.  Division rival in a very similar situation as us.  I want our QB to be better than theirs - I want our team to be further ahead than theirs - I want some questions to start having some answers to them.  

 

For those trying to equate this to life's seriousness - come off it - we're just talking about football importance.

I don’t think we should be overlooking our own defense. I’m not denying Darnold has talent, but I really believe our defense will give him fits. Bell isn’t gonna come in and be what he was after being off a year and no preseason games.

 

A lot of pundits have this marked down as a loss for the Bills, but I honestly believe they’re overlooking our D and overestimating the Jets’ O.

I'm somewhat concerned about our pass rush - Darnold is a different QB when under pressure.  I think we'll play good against the run down and our corners are certainly capable of playing well against their WR's.  

 

I think we're a better team and I think it will come down to which QB performs better.

I think it is going to be a real tough opener. I don't see either team winning by more than 3 or 4 points. Two pretty evenly matched teams. I give the Bills a coaching advantage but the Jets have home field advantage. 

 

I find it interesting that in so many national outlets the Jets are getting significantly more love. I think we have fewer holes and an established coaching staff, but of course we are on the road.

We have a very good chance to win If we can shutdown Enunwa, Bell, and Montgomery.  Bell doesn’t scare me as much as Montgomery.  

 

I think Dabol can scheme against William’s defense either through power run formations or through quick hitting, NE like, spread formations.  They Bills ran both looks in preseason.

 

It will be close and I hope it doesn’t come down to Special Teams.

If Oliver is as advertised in terms of getting pressure up the middle, I don't know whether or not Darnold is effective throwing on the run. I don't think he'll be taking many 7 step drops, but if he does, that could be a favorable outcome in the Bills favor either by our D line or our Safeties. I'm trusting our LBs to shut down the short stuff, Bell might get his bell rung by Edmonds a few times on some screens

I have anxiety pretty much all day everyday. At one time or another was pretty much prescribed everything. What I’ve found is a vape pen before bed kills the anxiety through the night. Can’t mess with it during the day because of work but give it a try!! You won’t worry about week 1 at all. :)

I'm nervous every year. I would've liked to open with the Giants or Bengals instead and build momentum going into the Jets game but it is what it is. To me that games a toss up. Both teams are looking for a big turn around and they are at home. I'd feel better if we were home. Good test moving forward.

I saw Pro Football Talk the other day and Florio and Simms were saying they had us and the Jets right there in the mix and they thought one or other of us grabs a wildcard. That isn't that different to how I see it so the two head to heads matter even more than normal.

they got a very stout front and greg will send guys. i was hoping our line would have been established by now. i actually don't feel bad about feliciano at center so long as ford and nseke are the right side. i don't know why teller hasn't been getting some heavy lg practice. i'm not sold on spain at all.
