Week 9: Bills (-10.5) vs Redskins


Cygnus99

Recommended Posts

I have been a Bills fan since 1982 and I have heard the same exact things from coaches for 37 years.

 

I don't even know why they have these coaches face the media, just play a recording and it's all the same exact response.

 

These pressers need to be more angry on a regular basis to be more exciting. ?

Not surprising that McD would back Star. Frustrating yes, but not surprising. He’ll rarely do that stuff through the media. 

Yeah, the only time I remember him deviating a little bit from this was with Zay, who was out the door days later.

The line is simply to even out the money wagered on both sides. Not many people will bet on a team with just a single win by week 9. Taking the Redskins with the points looks like a pretty decent bet. 

Just two weeks ago, the Redskins covered the spread against the 49ers, and didn't even score a point 

 

Agreed, I'll take WAS +10.5

Teams have been running all over Washington this season. If Frank Gore can manage an even 100 yards, he will pass Barry Sanders as third all-time rushing leader. That would be pretty cool.

 

That would be pretty cool, but don't count on it. With WAS being terrible against the run, I fully expect Dabol to throw the ball 50 times.

Game was played in a sloppy mud pit, so I’m sure that had an impact. It did happen though. Don’t necessarily need to score to cover the spread. However most NFL games are not shutouts, or blowouts for that matter.

This is exactly right, and exactly why I'd take the points. Pair that with the limited capabilities of our offense to score, and I think they cover. 

 

FWIW, I fully expect a win next Sunday despite yesterday's troubles.

Because... against a non stiff, this transpired:

 

When the going got tough, down 13-24, exactly what happened with the franchise QB ?

 

* 3 & Out for 6 yards

* 6 & Out for 14 yards

* 3 & Out for 0 yards

* 3 & Out for -12 yards

* 4 & Out for 6 yards

 

Total for the CRITICAL last 1.5 Quarters?

 

5 Series, 19 Plays for 14 Yards!
 

15 Offensive TDs in 7 games! 

 

What part of that doesn’t scream inept?

 

 

 

And early on in your list you misleadingly left out the Eagles spirit crushing, 84 yard, eight and a half minute drive for a TD that sealed the win for them. 

 

Context is EVERYTHING.

Skins will win outright. Book it.

Na. They won't. McD ain't gonna lose to a unprepared rookie QB. This is pure recency bias. The Bills were not as good as they appeared before the Eagles game and they're not as bad as they appeared after said game.

Same deal with those insipid, quick, 2-question halftime questions (applies to college games too). Lol

I think the Redskins with Haskins are worse than Miami with Fitzpatrick. This should actually be the easiest game of the year.

 

MUCH WORSE Happy!  Haskins can't even figure out how to set the offense.  He's played in the equivalent of half a football game and has 4 INT's.  If a Haskin's QBed Redskins team beats the Bills the defense has serious problems.

 Nothing is official with Redskins QB situation so I wouldn’t be putting the cart before the horse just yet

This game will be a cakewalk. Bills dominate. 


not a chance It’s a cakewalk but Bills should win.  


wondering if it’s ok for me to expect the Bills to complete a long Pass in this game and maybe approach 300 yards passing?  How about 270?

The Eagles were in a must win game and had to come out swinging. We are now in a must win game and have to come out swinging.

 

Yes exactly. I actually wagered money against Buffalo. I only do that when I have a very strong feeling.

not going to happen unless its throwing from behind  You know we'll go into a shell soon as we get a td lead

well, they had to play from behind vs Philly and he went 3 for 13, 9 yards.  (10 straight incompletions to finish out the game).

No Bills game will be a ...okay maybe there will be a laugher in there. Those have happened even when the Bills have a bad season. Anyway, I wouldn’t expect any Bills game to be a cakewalk this season. It’s fine to expect the things you described, it’s just that the Bills may disappoint you. As a fan, you can expect whatever you want to.

My prediction is that Daboll commits to the ground game. I get that it's a passing league, but this team is built to be run oriented. I think Allen had under 25 attempts and Buffalo plays solid fundamental football. And that should be the formula going forward. Pound the ball and pick your spots to take deep shots. Keep them honest with 3-5 jet sweeps (I don't think they ran any vs Philly). No turnovers. I see a 27-13 type game.

I hate this game plan so much, but it will happen with this regime.  They need to just say eff it and let Allen be Allen.  Throw the ball down field.  Go vaticle ( Al Davis voice)

There's a big hole in the middle of our defense. That's not magically going to get better. Our offense is going to start having to win the games. Washington has a talented team too. They definitely could put it together against us.

Even when the Bills had Andre Reed, James Lofton, Don Beebe, Keith McKellar, Pete Metzelaars and Thurman out of the backfield..............

 

the Bills weren't a 40-passes-a-game team back then either. And you don't ever get any weaponry better than that in the history of the game.

 

Point is, there needs to be a better commitment, IN BUFFALO, to the run game or this franchise goes nowhere.

 

I know times are different than back then, but Buffalo has to be a strong running team, no matter who the QB is. Case closed.
