There's very little of the "we'll win because we're great and they suck" sort of stuff that seems to populate most of these other sites. Giants fans are entitled. They're a historic franchise, they've won three SBs, and they can't face reality when they're not in the mix. It's unfathomable to them that their team is an underdog to...BUFFALO...in their home opener. This is one game that I really want to see the Bills dominate from start to finish!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I really don't see the Giants being successful passing the football vs our secondary. If we can stop Barkley this game should be ours for the taking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Lets be real here....as much as we make fun of the jets....their D is STILL better then the Giants. I worry about Barkely.....and Eli will prob make some plays because we are going to be game planning to stop the run.....BUT....this is the number 3 defense in the league. We will be fine 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) Well I'm certainly not confident. I don't know how any of us can go in thinking we have an easy win against any team other than perhaps the Dolphins. Yes, we showed that we have a good defense, but in this day and age good defenses aren't enough. Our offense has to show an ability to take care of the football and put up points, something we haven't seen the past couple of years. I will pick the Bills to win, but I would not be shocked if the Giants come out (on their home opener) and make a statement. I want to see the Bills string together a few convincing wins before I start getting comfortable. Not just one week, but multiple.

Billsfansinceday1 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) I have to think the pressure on Eli will be intense and our DBs will be like vultures for hurried passes. The X-factor, of course is Saquan. Can we limit his yards? I am cautiously optimistic. Edited September 11, 2019 by Billsfansinceday1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 The Cowboys dominated the Giants last week. Beasley played for the Cowboys. Beasley is now catching passes for the Buffalo Bills. Ergo, the Bills will dominate the Giants this week. See how symmetrically logical and easy this is?

Steptide Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Obviously I could be wrong here, but take away the 4 turnovers, and I think the bills win that game by 12. Having said that, I don't think the giants are gonna be a blowout win. I do think the bills win, but probably like 20-13. I think the giants will put up a good fight.

ddaryl Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I do not see us making season opener mistakes like we did last week.

billsbackto81 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) I've had my suspicions in the past but now I'm convinced,...there is something wrong with the water in New Jersey. The Bills are going to have a better home record than the Jets and Giants before they even get to New Era Field. We may have to rename the Meadowlands after this weekend. How does St John Fisher Stadium sound? I find it appropriate since that's where we practice before the actual games begin.

Who knows though, maybe the bills are really good this season Lots of factors determine how a game ends up. Yes, the Jets got a lot of good bounces in the first half but I'm not focused on the margin of victory. I'm focused on knowing what my eyes showed me -- the Bills pretty clearly outplayed the Jets from start to finish in that game. Prior to W1 if you asked a panel of NFL experts which NJ team -- the Jets or Giants -- would be better this season, I think at least 7 of 10 would have said the Jets. There's no reason to think the Bills can't outplay the Giants for 60 minutes on Sunday -- and maybe some of those bounces will go our way this week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Tim Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 1 hour ago, Wayne Arnold said: I’m always interested in seeing the other perspective of the upcoming matchup. Here’s what some Giants fans are saying... Our offense should be able to handle them and score some points The Giants proved last week against a better D than what the Bills have that they can move the ball and score. In addition to his two interceptions and two fumbles, Allen's accuracy was erratic. This is a game we have the talent to win. Buffalo is not the type of offense that is going to carve you up in the passing game, like a Dallas/KC/Philly/New Orleans type. This game will likely turn on how accurate Allen is on Sunday. I have no idea how to predict Allen's play. He's simply erratic. Eli already knows how Belichick beats them twice every year; he'll be ready to copy that. Giants don't need S.Shepard to win this game, AND it's a great chance for their 5th WR to shine (with Shepard and Tate out, I think that would be either R.Shepard or D.Slayton). Our lack of pressure may prove to be a good thing, for once, as up to now Josh Allen has been a much greater threat running with the ball than throwing it. And i am only half kidding. Barkley is going to have a career day on Sunday. IMHO Josh Allen looks lost! Thank god the Giants didn't take him! He was horrible on Sunday! Which is why the Jets loss is even more puzzling!!! I don’t think our defense is good but let’s not pretend like Josh Allen is good either. So far he's a below average QB that can run. I'm no Prescott fan, but he's certainly better than Allen, has a better OL than Allen, a better RB than Allen, and better targets than Allen. Allen had 4 turnovers. He got lucky the Jets Kicker missed an XP & FG. Jets, Bills, and Dolphins look to be picking top 10 this year. I like the quote about how Dallas has a better D- I have friends who state our D is better but their Offense is much better- and as of today they are correct.

Us fans largely get our info on the rest of the league from the same talking heads that we are 99% sure know nothing about our team. The rest is based on checking box scores, following fantasy outcomes, and watching Sports Center for the typical fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILBillsfan Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 The Giants almost had 500yrds offense vs a very good Cowboys defense so be humble This isn’t the NY Jets think some are just going with what the media is saying a winnable game for sure but it will be a harder game with the Giants they should play harder then they did last week home opener coming off a loss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RememberTheRockpile Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Here are few more quotes: One Giant fan referring to Josh: "I'd trade all of our QBs right now for him" Another Giant fan said: "Their defense is also underrated and top-notch. Their defense is what kept them in that game and the offense won it late. Underestimating any aspect of the Bills is just a bad idea." Another who appears to have watched Josh play:"I like Allen. I think he has a chance to be really good." This Giant fan is paying attention: "4 4th qrt game winning drives in only 12 starts . he has it , dont listen to fans saying he is a bad qb, they just want the Saquan pic to look better(which he is a great player no doubt) they want to make it seem there was no other QB to take, not even close to true , there may be 4 franchise qb's in that draft." 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locomark Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Today heard that Peter Schaefer dork on NFLN Good Morning Football say the Jets dominated for 3 quarters.....so we all know the NYC media has blinders on and so do their fans. Outside of the turnovers and crappy field starts, we pretty much owned yardage the whole game over the Jets. I expect the same over the Giants. Let’s just keep letting everyone underestimate us.

Westside Madness Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Barkley worries me. Part because we have in recent years been horrible vs. the run. Part of why our passing defense has recently been rated so high is there were seasons where teams didn't need to do anything but run against us. So, its a built in fear. That being said, those teams are not this team. Also, I watched highlights of his running style. He looks like the Hulk dancing around the super friends. He is huge, powerful and has moves. There were plays where Bell was getting yards after it appeared we had him. I expect Barkley to do more damage if our tackling doesn't improve (appears to be a focus in practice this week). I think our pass defense vs. Eli will scare Shurmur. He will run Barkley all day and/or screens to Barkley. While they supposedly have a better O-line, Eli is less mobile than Darnold. I think those aspects cancel each other out. On offense, I think as long as we play mistake free football, Daboll can call an effective game (did I really just type that?). End result, I don't think Barkley can alone carry them to a win, so unless we lose the turnover battle again, I think we win by 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
