Oh they’re definitely beatable, but if - for instance - we have a 5 point lead kicking off to the Seahawks with 45 seconds and 0 time outs remaining, I am betting on Russell Wilson. And if they have more time / time outs then just forget it.

you think they can score 7 in 45 seconds with no time outs?  Are you on the game day thread cause i will happily make that bet.

I would bet on Allen too if that scenario was flipped.  I think this is actually an evenly matched game.  Should be fun.

With 1:23 left against the Vikings, 4th down on his own 23, Russell Wilson launched a deep ball to Metcalf for 39 yards.

 

Couple completed passes later, they were down to the Vikings 6 yard line with 50 seconds left, without having used their only time out remaining.

 

Took Wilson 33 seconds to take the Seahawks from his own 23 to the opponent's 6 yard line, without a time out.

 

Granted, he threw incomplete passes on 1st 2nd and 3rd down from the 6, so by the time he hit Metcalf on 4th down (when he had to have it) there was 16 seconds left.

 

But if Wilson had only enough time to make one throw from the 6 yard line to win the game, I am not betting against him, not this year.

 

Point is.. I only had to go back a few weeks to find an example of Wilson moving his team down the field from his own 23 in under 45 seconds.

 

He is that good. And I'm not going to say our defense is better than the Vikings either. They were actually in control of the game until the end.

 

Trust me, Russell Wilson is my fantasy QB this season. I've been watching him about as closely as our own!

The last time we beat Seattle was in 2008  (Got crushed in Toronto in 2012 and lost a heartbreaker on MNF in 2016)

 

In the 2008 game, Roscoe Parrish had a punt return TD and Ryan Denney caught a 19 yd TD pass from Brian Moorman.  That was epic.

 

Time to get back on the winning end of this series.  'Hawks are due to lose an East Coast road game....and Bills are due to play a solid game against a very good team for once.  Here we go!

Cool.  What are the stakes then?  I am very happy to take this bet.

Wow!  I just looked at their schedule and they've pretty much played everyone close.

Exactly.

 

The Seahawks have to score a lot of points because they give up a lot of points.

 

This is a winnable game for the Bills.

Saw a stat today that said the Bills are 23-1 when leading at halftime under SMcD.  Find that hard to believe.  

I never would have guessed that stat. :o

Why - the loss was obviously the playoff game last year 

Yes

Are you certain that the statistic is for "all-time", or is it for regular season games?

I'd take this. 

 

Maurice Jones-Drew: DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett each have seven touchdown receptions this season, but neither will be the talk of Sunday's Seahawks-Bills game. That honor will go to Bills wideout Stefon Diggs, who'll gash Seattle's last-ranked pass defense for a career-high 200 receiving yards and a trio of TDs.

6-24? I did very quick math but I think so 

 

Great to have Hyde back.

 

Would love to see Knox & Ford play.

 

Yeldon is out too? Was hoping he would get to play, now we just have 2 RB's. Any chance that Antonio Williams gets called up?

There is going to be a lot of people on this board disappointed when the Bills win Sunday.  Sorry haters

 

Not this guy.  I'm jumping through my dining room table then burning my house down in celebration (it needs a massive cleaning anyway and it seems quicker to just rebuild than clean this place).

I think they may just replace Taiwan jones RB spot with another ST guy.

Is this true?

 

Yes, but that's not to say they haven't given us heart failure a couple of times by losing or narrowing the lead in the 3rd-4th Q

Yeah I think they feel a healthy LB, though less talented, is going to be at least as effective as an injured Milano plus Milano can get the rest he needs 

 

It woulda been nice if they felt that way 2 weeks ago and, you know, let him actually heal

I can see your point if you, as most here, totally underestimate the magnitude of importance that winning against NE had.

 

The next two games in comparison are insignificant.

Didn't see this

So.  In addition to Taiwan Jones, Norman, Milano, and Morse, we have TJ Yeldon out with a back injury

 

The good news on our DL is that Addison, Hughes, and Jefferson all look like "Go's".  Butler and Johnson questionable, but full practice today could be promising.

 

Knox with "limited" participation  and "questionable" does not look good

 

It would be nice to get Cody Ford back esp. with Morse out, but only if he's really "good to go".

This.

 

Though I might mention that the snark may not be strictly necessary, what?!
