Yes, many games to play, but Buffalo took care of business today in the 4th quarter against a scrappy Dolphins team. Week 3 against The Rams will be a enjoyable game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit bittersweet tonight. I love that we're a game out in front - but it is early, and man, that team will NOT go away. They may actually be better off w/ Cam than Brady right now. How ironic is that? This will be a dogfight until the end. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Rewatching some highlights - Cam was great, but he had 10 minutes in the pocket every time, and his receivers were wide open. The Seahawks D lost some key players early in this one. It made a difference. They really got no pressure on Cam at all. Still concerned, but let's see how he does against a D that plays better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've said literally two words on this forum since joining that weren't about the Pats or Brady ("probably is" about Wilson being best QB now) so I'm not surprised you're high on the Patriots doing well.

This kind of seems like trolling. If we're handing out "MVP level" awards right now our guy is currently much more deserving. You're stating that it's an absolute joke as if we just lost to them? NE looks like an inferior team and we're literally in control right now, I really don't get the pessimism. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 1 hour ago, PoBills33 said: yes, but Cam Newton looks likes hes back to form. NE is still going to be tough. Yep. I thought the Patriots would be worse. I should have known better. They are going to be tough. And I'll eat my crow on the Dolphins too. They may not be going to the playoffs this year but they are building a good team. I thought they would be worse than they are. Unfortunately, they are following Buffalo's blueprint on building a team and Flores admitted that this week. But it still comes down to QB and we have to see how Tua plays. 53 minutes ago, Penfield45 said: how is it our division to lose? lol we play the same schedule NE does.

I wouldn’t say he looked back in form, I saw some plays where he over threw his receivers and was relying on his legs too much. Newton’s honestly not going to last if he keeps running as much as he does. He still can’t sling it like he used to in Carolina. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seattle was down their starting free safety (ejection), and then lost their nickel corner to injury when he moved to free safety to fill in after the ejection. I'm going to hold off on handing the MVP crown until he is beating teams who aren't on 2nd and 3rd string DBs, and isn't having to carry the team running on his surgically repaired legs. Oh, and GARBAGE TIME yards to go with his 1 pass TD and INT. *edit* Oh, and he didn't put up 30 points, you're kind of forgetting that pick six the Pats D lucked into at the start of the game.

Ethan in Cleveland Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Newton is playing well but Buffalo has a better roster. They both have difficult schedules. Both defenses are strongest in the secondary. Bills WR group is far better. Injuries and head to head will decide the division. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the Ravens and Texans. We have the Titans and Steelers so it’s not the same schedule, but similar. With the resurgence of the Steelers, it still looks like we have a similar strength if schedule though given these uncommon opponents are matching in their first two games.

ProcessTruster Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) Preseason for the Bills just ended. And we also now we see how key injuries can mess a team up. A few key Covid infections here and there and all sorts of problems could ensue. We'll see on Sunday what they really have, assuming the two LBs are back. Heck, they barely got by Fitz/Gesecki bc time ran out and only bc Daboll / Josh lit up another so so defense. Every game stands on its own, I would not read too too much into these first two games. Bills are fortunate again (similar to having no injuries and a super easy schedule last year) to have had their two easiest opponents in the first two games. Lets see how it goes when the going gets tough. I am optimistic. This is setting up beautifully as they have had the past 18 games to work on things and get the team together and playing/communicating against so so competition (duck rodgers? really? ) Edited September 21, 2020 by ProcessTruster more info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Even though they lost, I was super impressed with Cam. One of the best ever games I’ve seen by him.

Nanker Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 The game should not have been that close, and NE was gifted a Pick Six very early in the game on a fluky pass play that should have been a completion. I remember the last time The Bills started out at 5-0. That didn’t end up so well. That said, The Bills control their own destiny now, even more than in the winter months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And NE's defense gave up 35 points. Defensively, they look much more beatable. Just comes down to how you stop Cam, which this defense has showed that they can contain that type of QB (Lamar Jackson last year, albeit in a win for the Ravens, had one of his worst games of the year against our D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
