Bevis Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I expect the Bills defense to take a step back this year in terms of overall ranking, but get a bit better against the run due to Edmunds' maturation. Darnold is better than Allen, and I don't think Beasley will be Allens savior like a lot of you think. So for the first game, it's a loss in my book. 6-8 wins this season IMO.

teef Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 bills losses stopped rattling me years ago. every team i like is terrible, so at this point, any success from any team i'm a fan of would be a pleasant surprise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostbitmic Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Darnold was a turnover machine in college and will be one in the NFL. Our defense should get a few from him this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Sal Capaccio thinks the Bills should throw 40 times against the Jets. They are stout up front but their secondary is weak. I would love it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLTbills Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) I get this way every year before the first game, but it's more the anxiety of still not knowing 100% what our team is going to be. I think last year, some people were excited, thinking we were decent, maybe not great, but competitive. And then we came out week one at Baltimore and got embarrassed. It's basically that after eight months of roster moves, debating on TBD, etc., you still don't know what you have until the live bullets fly.

Think they need to give Allen opportunities to get in a rhythm. A run, run, pass offense is the last thing I want to see. I hope they don't do that either. We got Allen better weapons and more talent up front...lets use it. We moved up to get him, let him throw. If it's not 40 (realistically 35-40) pass attempts, I hope it's because we have a big lead and we're just running the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollars 2 donuts Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Of course the Bills should be worried, the Jets are strong on both sides of the ball, have a great RB with an outstanding 2018 track record, a brilliant coach(es) and have been injury free during the preseason, said one Jets fan on crack.

SCBills Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Only because it's such a winnable game. Jets will be tough, no doubt, but they are basically us with a worse OL and Secondary. It's up to Allen to play with, or better than, Sam Darnold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 If anything, I continue to feel more confident about that game as the days pass. Jets' first team OL hasn't even played together and Kalil admitted to being "rusty" in the mental aspect of the game -- the very thing he was brought in for. Bell hasn't played in a football game in 20 months. Their CBs -- which need to be a strength in a Gregggggg Williams defense -- are lackluster. Q Williams isn't even starting. They lost two LBs and their starting TE is suspended. Against the Bills' established, technically sound defense I simply don't see the Jets putting up a lot of points, and I think it's realistic to expect the Bills' DL to dominate the Jets OL. If Josh can pick up the blitzes and hit the hot read this could be a laugher. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarleyNY Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Honestly, I don’t like the talent matchup with the Jest. It seems like they are strong in ways that should make things difficult for us. But they also have some very suspect coaching. I’m not a believer in Gase or Greggg. Seriously, other than Wrex he might have the worst defensive scheme in the NFL. So I am torn on this game. It really could go either way. I certainly wouldn’t bet money on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffalobloodfloridahome Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 The first 4 weeks of any season are always crazy with upsets and blowouts and don't accurately represent the teams true qualities. The Patriots always look flat the first couple games. This has allot to do with how little they do during training camp no more 2 a days and allot less hitting. A week one loss is not the end of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not me taking the Jests for granted -- I'm sure they will play hard -- but me looking at the specific position groups and coaching and arriving at a conclusion that the Bills should win or push most of those matchups. For example, last year I would have given the Jests DL a big edge over the Bills OL, but the Bills have replaced 4/5 of the line with proven veterans (and Cody). Now that looks much more even. Similarly, I would have given the Jests an edge in ST but the Bills went out and swiped their best STer. I don't believe in Adam Gase as a leader. I think for that team to succeed over the long term they will need immediate success, because Gase is not the guy who will keep them together if it goes south. Greggggg is still looking for his next HC gig -- do you think he'll support Gase if things aren't going swimmingly? Then I look at Buffalo's relative "harmony" across the board; a stable coaching staff with a few noted changes (OL, ST), the same schemes, and an established culture that appears to finally be matched with a good bit of talent. I think the Jests will probably get a few good punches in, but the Bills have a strong jaw and will eventually get the KO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
