K-9 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 6 minutes ago, ScottLaw said: It comes off as if you don’t trust the Bills offense. Maybe your not as optimistic as you seem to be? Not putting a whole lot of credence into the “COVID offseason lack of rhythm” excuse. This offense has been together for 3 years now. If they aren’t firing on all cylinders it won’t be because of the shortned offseason, it will just be more of the same from the Daboll lead offense. This offense has been together for three years now? Must be that new math I’ve heard so much about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Just now, ScottLaw said: Third year in the Daboll offense. Essentially every starter returning. I count two of 11 guys on offense who have been in this offense for three years. Two; QB and LT. Four of five OL and all the rest of the skill players have no more than one year in the system.

LABILLBACKER Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Let's just find a way of scoring more than 19 pts per game. We saw what conservative offensive game planning got us in Houston. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Just now, ScottLaw said: Fair enough. The QB is in his 3rd year with the same offense and essentially everyone else returning for the 2nd season. I guess your missing the point... the “well it was a COVID shortened offseason” excuse really shouldn’t be an excuse, but I’m sure it will be all over the place if the Bills struggle offensively. There are no “excuses” so you can get off that train. If you think that an unprecedented off season of extremely limited preparation and no live action to speak of prepares a team to hit on all cylinders from the opening kickoff, good for you. Those of us who have been around the game know how important a full off season of preparation can be, from OTAs to a full slate of preseason games. Especially when it comes to hitting. But who knows, maybe they’ll surprise me. I’m just not expecting it since this offense was a work in progress as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a STATEMENT game. Diggs is here. They are going to do everything in their power to establish that connection and show the league this is no longer a pop gun offense. Josh will have 35 pass attempts. I agree. Bills actually have matchup advantages all over the field in a way that we have forgotten about what it means. Spread the field, 11 or 10 personnel maybe no huddle. No DiMarco or a real attempt to replace him means something to me. But...............

Straight Hucklebuck Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 I expect it to look like last year. An up and down performance from Allen, around 200 yards passing, 1 TD, 1 Int. The defense keeping the score low so the offense can manage. At least this year we won't have Frank Gore wasting downs at 3 yards per carry. 22 hours ago, BillsToast said: Bills win with a score of 17-13 and super sloppy Other predictions...

Adam Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Conservative to start out. Maybe a 7-6 lead at half. Then it comes together in the second half, with some good drives and converting takeaways into points quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen2 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 IMHO I think ... or rather I hope ... the game mirrors the Chiefs/Texans game. I'm one of those guys who really wants to see Josh passing for more yards however, I think we should dominate this game from the get go so Josh Doesn't NEED to pass for a ton. I want to see efficient passing/running to start off but when we build up a lead throttle down the passing game and pass only when we need to. I'd be overjoyed with scoring 31 to 34 points and Josh only having 200 yards passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My negativity? I'm not the one predicting a sloppy offensive game like many who seem to be preparing themselves to not be disappointed. Like I said, we are at the point where we should expect good, consistent performances offensively. Do you know the difference between negativity and being realistic? C’mon, Scott. Your negativity has been readily apparent in these parts for several years now. It precedes every post you make. If the Bills don’t win in a certain way, you will pan their performance. It’s like clockwork. And as someone suggested above, even if we blow them out while racking up outrageous stats, you will come back with, “It’s just the Jets.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostbitmic Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 I expect one of the Jets will show signs of the virus during the flight in from New Jersey and the entire Jets team gets quarantined for a week in Buffalo.

This offense has never been a juggernaut to begin with and, whether you give it any credence or not, they haven’t had the benefit of live action and other essential development opportunities this offseason. So, given those factors, it’s “realistic” to expect hiccups in the first game of the season. You see that as “excuses”, I see it as simply being “realistic” about the situation.

apuszczalowski Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Allen to throw more then 200 yards......... Seriously, I would like to see an offence that looks capable of competing with the better offences and not having to rely on the defence being dominant to win a game. It would be nice to see an offence that teams feel they need to slow down or stop to stay in a game and isn't going to be afraid to run up a score. The last few years it seems very few teams felt the need to worry about the Bills offence taking over the game, they felt they needed to get a few score and their defence to play well enough to win because they wouldn't be running up the score. Anytime the Bills were talked about, they barely mentioned the offence, it was all about how well the defence played to keep them in games so the offence could do just enough to get a win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsbackto81 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I expect them not to play down to their competition. For as long as I can remember even under McD the Bills always seem to keep it interesting even against lesser teams. There's no Mosely, Adams, Williamson, Mims, etc. etc. etc. Bills should win even when the Jets are at full strength. Tomorrow they better win by 17 easily. If McD starts nursing a 14 point lead I'm going to lose it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
