H2o Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 If we can get to 5-0 this week it would be huge. This was one of the games I had marked on the schedule as a toss up. I believe it would cement our minimum win total as 11 and put us more in the realm of 12-13 regular season wins. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I feel like, if they were going to move this game they would have already. also, there’s no way the NFL wants to carve up a schedule twice in 2 weeks over the same team. I think at this point the game is a go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painting everyone in the same brush. The NFL up to this point has done pretty well following protocol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the 4th Quarter against the Raiders was our wake-up moment. I keep hearing the excuse that defenses "all over the league are playing terrible this year." While this is true, the Bills are still playing at a below-average level compared to the rest of the NFL. We may have played the Rams, but we also played the Jets. We are 17th in the league in points allowed. We are 18th in the league in yards allowed per pass. We are 16th in the league in yards allowed per rush.

The Giants D did a very good job against the same Rams team that scored 4 TD's on 4 consecutive drives in BUF so the Bills D has been a disappointment this season (so far).

Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 We shouldn't expect any advantage in this game.

Slippery Rubber Mats Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 So correct me if I'm wrong please, but I see the situation like this: - We're trusting that the Tenn players and staff has not been around each other now for what, a week and a half? So they haven't been spreading it amongst themselves. - We're trusting that the last speading event happened that same week and a half ago, so by Wed of this week the Titans should be in the clear Therefore I don't think the Bills have any more to worry about other than the general difficulty of the whole situation.

Chuck Wagon Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 In the race with the Pats, this is a must win game. The only games different on our schedules are Tenn / Houston and Pitt / Baltimore. Houston looks like a complete walk over for the Pats, so we need to match that win. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaattMaann Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Reasons we should ROLL the Titans. There has been a good amount of talk about their defense being stout. I havent really seen that from them this season. Last year they were. This year, not so much. Minshew's Jags ate them up all game long, and if it werent for missed FGs/a batted INT, the Jags could have stole that game from Tennessee. Minshew threw for 350 and they ran for another 150, Titans looked slow and generated very little pass rush against an average offense. Against Minnesota, Dalvin Cook WENT OFF and had almost 200 yards rushing. This defense looks like they can be ran on pretty easily. Add to this they are missing several starters/key backups due to COVID (most likely, no clue really what the NFLs rules are). I think we will eat their lunch. Offensively, I'm not really sure what should scare us. It took 6 field goals for them to beat a bad, sputtering Vikings team. Their offense stalled at times against a bad Jags defense. Derrick Henry is a big guy who can break tackles, so was Jacobs last week. Limit Henry, get up in the game and force Tannehill to try and beat us and I don't think they stand a chance - especially if their slot guy is out due to COVID (again, who knows?). We should handle business this week, unless we are looking ahead to the Chiefs, which I dont think there is any chance McD and the staff, and our locker room leaders let that happen. I was more worried about the Raiders last week and I thought we would beat them 30-13. Bills by double digits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the highest paid (or one of the highest) DL in the league. We should be able to generate some pressure. Goff and Carr had a lot of time to throw.

Seems like if they don’t have great respect for the passing game of the opponent they can do that. Frazier said the game plan vs LV was to stop Jacobs and if they allowed completions In the passing game so be it. Boom, 48 yards total for Jacobs. We will see if they employ a similar mentality this week. I think LV has a better passing offense and OL than the titans but AJ brown is expected back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
