Yea. Thought for sure the Bills would handle the Giants in 2015. 

 

I know this, any mediocre team would've made the Bills pay for those 4 turnovers in one half last week. 

 

Kinda goes to prove how dead on you were about the Jets, doesn't it?

I'm surprised by the confidence I'm seeing from #BillsMafia on TBD and twitter.  We have lost to some miserable Giants teams over the past 5 years which is enough to temper my expectations.  I did not see enough out of our offense last week to think we are going to blow their suspect defense out of the building and you cannot count on your defense to hold teams to one score every week.  This is a game we SHOULD win but Bills fans know how that goes.

 

:beer:

 

I think it's a product of an entire off season media blitz telling the world how the Giants are a mess, had a terrible draft, an unsettled GM/Coach situation coupled with a HOF QB on the downside of his career. Then they went out and laid an egg against Dallas (they looked worse than the score to my eyes, in almost every phase). Still... it's the Bills and Giants, nothing comes easy. Barkley is one of the top 3 players in the whole league, that warrants caution. 

 

Despite all this... I still see the Bills winning by two scores. But I'm a nutty optimist.

Way to respect our defense. Nice.

Off the top of my head, overall I'd only take Barkley, Engram, Zeitler, Hernandez and at a push Tate from their offense over the Bills O starters.

 

Too homer?

Given the difference in miles away from WNY, you’ll never be accused as a homer.?

When they talked about Shurmur's comments on NFLN, they definitely made it sound like Shurmur was dissing Allen.  Hopefully added motivation for Allen to make him eat his words.

Interesting ... I didn’t see that but I do remember that right after the 2018 draft, it was leaked that Shurmur had Allen as his #1 QB.

A little surprised to see Roberts still not practicing. Hope he is okay and can play this week.

I’m doubting he’ll play this weekend as well, dammit. Amazing how we have zero back up plans for KR other than our sure-handed, Starting SS, who won’t likely return anything.

This may become our go to Away look. I was hoping we were wearing the #TBs as Sean has been wearing that cool long sleeve number the last 2 days. Fav alternate uni was the blue jersey #65 TB.

Well there is McKenzie though I take it they don't necessarily trust him to take care of the ball. He was active last week, but didn't see any playing time as far as I remember.

Yo I didn't really have an opinion of the Giants and Shurmur before today but now I'm hoping we beat the brakes off these morons, how you gonna diss a team favored over you AT HOME no less coming off a beatdown to divisional opponent...I hope Allen lights these fools up

It's a low bar considering, ya know...he already is a starting QB in the NFL

Theoretically this could be the game Allen goes off. 350yds should not be out of the question.

 

Honestly, I'm hoping for a 200 yard game because we got an early lead and we ran the ball so well.  Big passing stats are fun and it would nice to quiet the  "Allen can't throw a football" crowd, but the biggest passing games happen when we are playing from behind.

McD knows how to play this game the right way...kill 'em with kindness.  It's an old Dean Smith trick.  Back in the day you'd have thought the Tar Heels were going to be challenged by NW Texas Teachers College in an early season game.

When Kimberly Jones discussed it on NFLN, she said that he said it in a way that appeared to be a dis.  She said she waited a few minutes and then asked a clarifying question to give him an opportunity to walk it back, but he did not.  She said the implication was that they felt maybe someday he would be good enough to start in the NFL, not that he would make an immediate impact or be a viable QB right out of the gate.  Coaches usually kill their opponents with kindness in the press conferences leading up to game day, which is why his comments seemed a bit odd.

Time to break out the 300 plus yards, 4 or 5 TDs game Josh.

you are missing something important about those turnovers...the reason the Jets didn't get much out of the turnovers was because the O had moved the ball well so that the Jets didn't have good field position when they happened and our D stopped them...the picksix was the exception and that was pretty lucky for Mosley. (he had a great day too so he earned that TD!)

 

So in a horrible way those to's resulting in only 6pts were because the Allen O is doing a pretty good job...and the D is great. 

 

But I take your point...turnovers need to stop

God I hate the "putting each through burning tables" thing. What are Bills fans, a bunch of WWE loving 8th graders circa 1998? 

Foolishness.

Show up, be loud, represent the team with pride, but for the love of God....quit putting each other through flaming tables.

 

There you go again with the logic

Does anyone know if Taron Johnson will play and if not, what is long term outlook?


I’m sorry, son, but there is a super secret handshake and password necessary for that information. 
 

Take care and Godspeed.
