Used to be in a bad mood after a loss for a few days, now a bit of commiserating and venting here and I am good to go. The wife never wanted to hear it, but think having an outlet when you are a displaced WNY sports fan is the best therapy. I’ve become much more stable over the years. Life has a way of giving you perspective. I love it when they win, but I don’t get nearly as down when the lose. I remember the foul mood of the city for days after a loss. Now? I realize it really doesn’t change my life much. Maybe it helps that I don’t live with people in the dumps all around me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it’s week 16 or 17. Sometimes it’s week 8.. After that, it’s who stays and who goes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will only drink after the game if they win. Don’t use drugs of any kind. Reason for not drinking during game is a last experience of being pissed off AND hung over after a loss. Terrible combination! oh man i drink before, during and after the games. no drugs though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YattaOkasan Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Some football thoughts. Start on D. Simple game plan. Contain Barkley in the run game. In the pass game give safety help for him and engram. Giants will probably get there’s but not a ton. Putting it at 17 points allowed. This is will be the theme of the year. Can the bills offense take advantage of the defenses good work. Game plan will always be more complicated on this side. Gonna see some similar things from Daboll this week as giants have good enough run defense but bad pass rush. We will run a bit more cause the run defense isn’t as good as the Jets. In the pass game I think we’re gonna get more vertical. Giants safety are not as good as Adams and maye. Also weaker pass rush allows for deeper routes. This has me thinking a bit more foster than Zay in this game (more Zay makes sense last game). Ultimately i I think the offense will take advantage and score like 24 points. Flame away on my thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame away on my thoughts. No Flames. I see this as our template. My view of 2019 is that our D will consistently perform between good and very good, with occasional excellence. With that foundation, our offense has room to grow and an opportunity to propel us into the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffalo2218 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I get so sick of this. The pundits picking against the Bills only see the mistakes Josh Allen made instead of looking at the team as a whole. To this day, it seems that these guys still haven't learned that while the QB position is important, it's not the only aspect of the team. Case in point, Marino may have been a very slightly better passer than Kelly, but Kelly had the much better team, hence why Marino had a losing record against the Bills. Allen may have made mistakes, but this defense was and is good enough to overcome that, how last Sunday didn't prove that I don't know. Too many teams are judged and analyzed too much by the QB, especially the Bills. As long as this team has Allen's back, there's no team we can't beat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 (edited) I just feel Barkley will be too much for the Bills. I see a high scoring game, like 31-28. I think the Bills lose a close as the Giants will play loose. Josh Allen throws for 350 yards and 3 TDs but the D let's us down.

I might agree with that except for the fact that the Giants WR core is pretty banged up. I'm not sure this defense is gonna lay an egg against this team, I think the addition of Oliver will get a ton more QB pressures than we got last year, and Manning has zero mobility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills defense wants you to dump it off. I just think Barkley is going to have 100 yards receiving this game. 3 minutes ago, ColoradoBills said: This is the whole question, can they start to put it all together?

I will admit 31 is quite a stretch, hell if the Giants' defense is as bad as advertised, they won't have enough time of possession to score that many points alone.
