More of this next week please :lol:

 

 

It may have been my imagination or wishful thinking, but based on when the crowd got loud or quiet, I felt the Bills had as much if not more crowd cooperation than the Jets.  Loud when the Jets were on offense, quiet when the Bills were on offense.

weirdly enough....the Jets and Giants use two different visitors locker rooms, so the Bills actually WON'T be in the same visitors locker room. I have no explanation as to why. 

 

I knew the Jets and Giants each had their own "home" locker rooms, but you're saying they have their own visitors' rooms as well?  Seems like a waste...

Giants defense got embarrassed in Dallas so they'll be motivated to be much better in their home opener.  Eli looked decent against the Cowboys and Barkley is the best back in the league.  I see this being another close game.

Ok, so one of the things we do fantastically well here on TSW is overreact to a given week's result -- good or bad.  I'm going to try and buck that trend here, because as others have noted the Giants' offense has some formidable weapons.  I'm confident McD will devise a scheme to limit big plays but it will absolutely be incumbent upon the Bills to score points on offense -- I think they'll need at least 24 -- and to limit the turnovers that plagued them this week.  Despite the Giants' poor showing in Dallas they will be motivated to win at home and even their record.  I believe they'll learn from their mistakes in Dallas and feed Barkley more.  They also know they got no pass rush to speak of in Dallas and will probably start bringing extra bodies to try and pressure the inexperienced Allen.  I'd like to see the screen game if that happens.

 

It's a little surprising to me that the Bills have opened as favorites, and I would expect the line to move closer to a pick'em throughout the week.  It's funny, I think I was more confident the Bills would beat the Jets than I am about this week's game.

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.

But hey, that's showbiz, baby.

I never buy that type of stuff.

 

This is the NFL. If they weren't motivated to play against a divisional opponent that beat them 4 consecutive times leading up to the game, what are they doing in the NFL?

 

Now, I do agree that it should be another close game, but the bold statement just doesn't make much sense to me.

The stands looked pretty empty when they showed it. Lots of empty seats all over the place.

If he is still on their roster by next week, target Antonio Hamilton!

 

Francesa on WFAN:

 

'Giants have got no defense

No pass rush
No corners

 

But this is the easy part of their schedule, they have to beat Buffalo.'

 

I hope they repeat their idiotic mistakes from last week, like not feeding Barkley, like thinking Eli is mobile, etc etc etc. Man the Bills have to feel good going back to MetLife again.

 

Also says, the Giants should not be the underdogs in this game. Giants are better. Hmm!

Blowhard Fatcessa also just said that the Bills have no business being favorites over the Giants because the Giants are a better team or, at worst, just as good as the Bills. Said the Bills won a game they had no business winning and "have a quarterback, in Allen, who had their fans longing for Nathan Peterman." Uhhhh...no. Then he grudgingly said that the Bills do have a good defense but he truly believes that the tire fire Giants are a better team. The Bills could certainly lose that game but the Giants are not a better team by any stretch.

So the Patriots have to install more cameras.

I watched the Giants game yesterday. The Giants have pretty good talent. My opinion is , the Cowboys were on fire yesterday and were unstoppable. 

 

The Buffalo Bills will have their hands full next Sunday. Im pretty sure the Giants are a much better more physical team than the NY Jets based on what I saw yesterday.

 Francesa is going nuts now,  bashing Allen, teehee... he's completely triggered...

Allen was "atrocious"...most inaccurate starter in the world....lololol

They "let him hang around"....

gives props to the defense...

 

His take on Odell was spot on though (he doesn’t need that watch to know what time it is. Time to be another losing team ?)

Honestly, I listen to WFAN just to hear Joe Beningo cry about, and to hear Mike Francesa dog, the Jets. Top notch entertainment.

He's being an idiot today.  He obviously hasn't seen much if any of the games Josh has played in.  He said Allen is terribly inaccurate & is accurate on one in every 5 passes.  If he wants to be that lazy he should never talk about any other team outside of the NYC area.   Otherwise he should prepare better.  I'm listening to him today because I'm waiting for his apoplectic Jet fan callers & after catching some of the Bills postgame yesterday the last 2 clowns I want to hear today are Shopp & Bulldog.

Yeah, I purposely listened today to hear the reactions of Joe Benigno & Evan Roberts (both Jest fans) and the aforementioned afternoon blowhard who loves the Giants and is a long-time Bill Parcells ballwasher who loves to rag on the Jest and Mets every chance he gets. I was thankful for several  laugh worthy moments today. As a Met fan, I listen to WFAN fairly frequently, and the fans in the NYC area who cheer for all of the local teams are some of the most insufferable in the country. Probably second only to Boston sports fans. I hope the Bills have shaken off the rust and lay a beat down on the blue New Jersey team this Sunday.

stopping the run will be key.  I'm not sure what to do with Milano.  As @Virgil points out, having him cover Barkley ensures good tackling.  ON the other hand. E. Engram is a beast of a receiving TE.  Perhaps put Edmunds on Engram and Milano following Barkley around?  

 

Otherwise, rush Manning and he should throw and INT or two.  

ed oliver is gonna be a beast. i don't know who the center is for the gmen, but eli needs a pocket to step up in. i'm also grateful lorax is calling the pass rush schemes pre play.

they are gonna need to get it with the front 4 so the lbs can do their thing. hopefully lorax will be calling his own no. a lot.

Spot on. He came out of retirement because the station manager or CEO of Entercom went to his home and begged him to come back because their new afternoon drive show was not doing well. They threw a boatload of money at him and he jumped at it and has been mailing it in ever since. Since his retirement, he's been all about promoting his stupid, overpriced app which is going belly up on October 1st. Who the hell would pay $8.99 per month or $98.99 for a one-year subscription to listen to his insufferable diatribes? Apparently, not many. ? Listening to him for free is one thing but to pay for an arrogant, mouth-breathing, boor who never lets any of his callers finish a sentence is absolutely asinine. I can only take him in small doses before I have to listen to something else. It's amazing to me the number of people in the Big Apple who worship at his bloated altar. "Back afta dis..."

Mike just bagged some more on Allen & said you're born accurate.  Obviously he himself was born inaccurate himself.  It's clowns like Mike who have the Giants fans betting on Sunday & I'm grateful to him & his ilk for the 2.5 point spread I bet today.

I would like to know if a team has ever played two straight road games in the same stadium ever. The Bills have played 2X at the meadowlands in a season before but never had a schedule of two straight weeks in a row there. Just a bizarre schedule!

Halfway to two road wins to start the season!!!!

That Does Not suck???

I was listening too. (WFAN is also on Radio.com App.)  Opinion based on prevailing wisdom and seeing two passes.

In preseason, the offense ran some absolutely picture-perfect screens. I don't think they ran a single one vs. the Jets. I hope they run some more designed plays like that vs. the Giants, and balance the pass/run ratio a little better. 

They tried on the one were the WR got blown up. That’s the only one I remember.

When your on the tax payers dime and money is no object you can do this sort of thing.

We have crisp tackling on Sunday the Bills will win  Barkley is the most physically gifted back the league has seen since Bo Jackson.  Eli will throw 40 checkdowns within 10 yards of the los.  I fully expect Hyde/Power to come up with at least one turnover from Eli and I'd expect the corners to sit on anything over 15 yards especially outside.

Troy Aikmen says the same thing FWIW.  Not much evidence to the contrary.

 

As someone who has questioned Josh's accuracy I was encouraged  by a lot of what I saw yesterday.

 

Of course he still has a lot of work to do. 

 

Coming through with the game on the line is another thing you are either born with or not.

Accuracy isn't an issue imo. Decision making is to this point.

 

Certainly seemed to be the case yesterday.  But I'm still not ready to crown his ass as an accurate passer.

 

The thing about Josh that has impressed me the most is his nack for coming through in the clutch.  That's whey I changed my avatar to Roger, who was on of the best at this.  Hoping Josh keeps it up.  And continues to  improve all parts of his game.
