Yes it depends on what Defense Josh sees but: A.) Run by Singletary/Moss B.) Pass to TE C,) Pass to WR D.) QB Run (as Daboll has called before) My thought is "C" - a quick Pass Completion to Diggs. We want to show off our new QB/WR Connection... play action deep shot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Matter_What Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I have predicted this to be a surprise loss since the schedule was released. I don’t know why, just a gut feeling. We are much better team, but somehow I feared that things won’t work first game, Allen starts badly and Jets will be playing much better than expected. To be clear, I thought this would be a small bump on overall great season (12-4). But I don’t know now. We just seem to be so much better that it is hard to imagine we could lose, so I’ll go with something like 17-13 Bills after a sloppy game. Anyway, I would love us to crush them 33-10. Sunday can’t come soon enough! Go Bills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s more gonna look like the first preseason game than the first regular season game for both teams. It’s just so hard to mimic real conditions in limited practices. Yep. This is what I mean when I say there’s just so many ways things can go weird in week 1 of a normal year, so it almost has to be exaggerated this year. I think the advantage goes to the team that can prepare better, so that should be Buffalo...but you know what I say about “shoulds”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite post in that thread is the guy that said the Bills were “basically going into the season as-is” from 2019 with no improvement. Right. Definitely didn’t add Diggs, 3 veteran defensive linemen, Josh Norman, or a former all-pro right tackle. Forget about the draft; I can abide not thinking that draft picks will be impactful this season, but at least pretend to have half a clue what’s going on with your divisional foes if you’re going to speak about it. For my part, I just don’t see how the Jets move the ball reliably against Buffalo. Crowder is a good slot man, but even with a whole mess of receptions in week 1 of 2019, it wasn’t enough to put together more than a single good drive. And aside from him, their WR group is unproven to state it kindly. They're going to have to rely on Bell and their revamped OL. I liked Fant quite a bit in FA, but he’s never really been a full time starter. And while I think Becton has ability, he’s going to have his hands full with Hughes and Addison. Moreover, if and when Buffalo is able to limit the impact of their run game, what’s the plan to move the ball through the air? Better be backs and the TE group, because Buffalo’s DBs have the obvious advantage in coverage. I do think that their DL can move the LOS, so Josh is going to have to make quick decisions. I also think that Diggs/Smoke/Beasley have a clear advantage over the Jets’ group of corners. They better be able to create pass rush, or it could be a long day. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLTbills Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 We should cover this spread fairly easily. The Bills only got better. The Jets are the Jets. Coached by Adam Gase. With an all-new O-line that didn't get to play preseason games to gel. Without their two best defensive players from last year. I only hope that McD doesn't let up when we get up by 10 points like he loves to do. Keep the foot on the throttle. Beat them by 30. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It went to 6.5 days later and it wouldn’t surprise me if it kept climbing as people start hitting hard. I can’t believe somebody actually said this spread seems like a lot. It’s easy money IMO.

BillsFanSD Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I'm glad we open against the Jets and Dolphis -- two inferior teams that we should beat even as we're working out the kinks from no preseason. We should get a pretty good sense on whether the offense has significantly improved relative to last year fairly quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game feels like 31-10. I'm tempering my enthusiasm for a blowout considering it's week 1 with no preseason games. We haven't had so much as a joint team practice. Bass is a wildcard and I wouldn't be surprised to see him miss a kick or two. So I think the offense will be sloppy. That being said the defense should pick up right where it left off and I don't see how the Jets will move the ball so I'm predicting a final score of 24-10 Bills with most of our scoring coming in the 2nd half. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Landing Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 The Jets are banged up, also. CBS Sports has their depth chart listed with all but one of the wideouts (Barrios) dealing with some injury, as well as their starting TE, Herndon. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/NYJ/new-york-jets/depth-chart/ This is going to be a weird game to watch. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figster Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 16 hours ago, That's No Moon said: Teams with more continuity have an advantage. I agree, From a continuity standpoint on O the main core of Bills players excluding Diggs already has a good understanding of the Daboll Offense IMO. I'm also confident that McD is preaching play smart. Stay focused. Protect the football. Taking a more conservative approach to start the season would be the smart thing to do IMO. If Buffalo runs up the score against the Jets it will probably have more to do with the Bills running game then anything IMO. Still, the ball can bounce many ways. No twelth man to help turn the tide. I'm cautiously optimistic... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree our defense will shut them down, I don't see how they will move the ball. My tempered expectations come from our offense with a few new pieces trying to put it together without the benefit of preseason. And if it starts to look like the Jets are not capable of scoring on us McDermott is going to start running out the clock early. I could see us coming into the 4th quarter 24-3 and the Jets score a garbage time TD. That is the one thing holding me back from predicting a 3 score blowout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
