Wouldn't hurt to sweep the leg along the way

It shouldn't take much. Landry and these Bills haven't got along basically since the AW hit. If I recall correctly the last time he played against the Bills was the 2017 season finale, in which he and Kenyan Drake were ejected for trying to fight the entire Bills defense on their own

no NFL team is OK with being beaten by Buffalo. I think its a thing.

 

I think that's a silly statement, because (a) no team wants to lose to anyone, and (b) what, exactly, is the "shame" in losing to the Bills as opposed to any other team?

I’m not sure that’s an attempted pump fake because he doesn’t need the CB to bite on the fake and Foster already has his guy beat.  That’s a prime example of Allen hesitating for a split second.  If he releases at the initial pump, there’s a good chance for a long gain.

They played Browns in preseason last year when his blindside hit injured T Johnson

I think this game provides plenty of motivation for the Bills as they continue to feel "disrespected" -- I'd be playing the "we're facing a team that has only won two football games and they're favored" card all week.

 

If the Bills come out flat for this one I'll really be surprised.

The local media has been reminding the players about being disrespected all week too....players have been fielding questions on it all week, with the usual (great) responses of "we will continue to be overlooked until we prove something". Love it. We shouldn't come out flat, those only seem to happen at home lol.

 I agree with this. For weeks now all of the chicken Littles on this board who focus on everything but the bills actually winning games is getting tiresome. However, if they do come out flat against Cleveland I might be nudged in their direction.

That’s why I love that the Browns are favored. It’s an absolute gift to this coaching staff. Hope they take advantage.

Some of the disrespect is local....writers saying Bills haven't beaten anyone good...fans complaining of no 300 yd games from Allen or a perfect game from the team...

Record says the Bills should win this game. Cleveland has a ton of talent with very little discipline. The Browns are capable of beating the Bills IF the Bills don’t play smart and execute. I can see this game both ways. Bills win by playing good fundamentals or Browns get a couple early gifts and ride the emotions to a win.

I agree with this. Either Buffalo wins or Cleveland wins.

So we've got the Bills believing they're disrespected, McD with a "revenge" game against the team that spurned him, and a Browns squad of "me first" guys who aren't playing well together.

 

If ever a fast start was important it would be this game.  Get the Browns down by a couple of scores early and it could be a stress-free afternoon.

The Browns have been terrible. Having watched both of these teams on a weekly basis there is no doubt in my mind that the Bills are the better team. There are a couple blue chip talents there but they are not clicking on all cylinders like is necessary to win in the nfl. They lack leadership and focus. That said, the Bills aren’t perfect either. I don’t know who will win but I don’t see it changing the course of either team’s season either way. Sometimes the team who isn’t the best wins the game. The Bills will still make the playoffs if they lose Sunday and the Browns will still be picking in the top 10 if they win. 

 

The 2019 Browns remind me of Rex’s 2016 Bills team. 6 pro bowlers. 2 all pros. No leadership, no organization. 7 wins.

The last time the Bills were favored big and everyone here said it was a gimme was Miami. That game was a fight. If the Bills play like that they get blown out by Cleveland. Cleveland has so much more talent. I don’t feel any game the Bills play is a gimme.

They aren’t favored at all 

Cleveland is currently -3 per ESPN app

I love Jeremy White's tightrope passive/aggressive schtick. Ready to say 'I told you so' for either outcome.

Here's a clue. Baker isn't throwing to him.

The Duke/Foster competition is fascinating.  They both seem to be competing for the last active spot each week, and will probably be competing for the last WR spot next year, assuming we bring in another WR in FA/Draft. 

 

Foster brings so much speed, but we already have speed in Brown, McKenzie and Roberts.  Duke, if healthy again, is a big target and, perhaps more important due to where we seem to be headed offensively, a nasty run blocker.

Quick question who are we rooting for tonight in the Chargers vs Raiders?

makes sense to root for the raiders to be knocked down to 4-5, moving the chargers to 5-5..... but I really don't want the chargers feeling themselves.

 

so that's a toughy.

My biggest worry with the Browns is that they copy the Eagles gameplan.   Run with Chubb and try to screen us to death with the return of Kareem Hunt. 

 

I trust Tre White to follow OBJ around, and Landry is the type of WR that Levi Wallace seems to play well against. 

 

Let's hope the DT additions and film study carry over what we saw in the second half of the Redskins game, and that we learned our lesson from being bludgeoned by the Eagles screen game.

The biggest difference here is Pederson/Wentz /Eagles OL vs Kitchens/Baker/Browns OL. They can copy the game plan but executing it is a different story

From what I have heard, the Raiders have an easier schedule down the stretch so we should root for them to get a loss now. Chargers have the tougher schedule and will struggle more to stay in the hunt after tonight.

Yup, I really think the Raiders are going to get a Wild Card and their schedule is very easy the rest of the way

Chargers can actually be a really good team, but with the hole they dug, and the schedule they have... it may not matter.   The Raiders don't scare me at all, but they have a schedule similar to ours in the back half.
