If Seattle's defense shows up with Jamal Adams return, this game will be a blowout.  I think Seattle's defense is garbage, but will make a few stops.  I doubt the Bills do anything to stop Seattle's offense.  This game has 37-21 written all over it.  It might not be that close.  

 

The Bills collapse will commence on Sunday.  

So what were your predictions when we sucked every year 100-3 each game? We played horribly against the Chiefs and were still in it at the end. This is not an amazing team, but it is also not a team that has no chance to get to and even win the Super Bowl. Just takes getting hot at the right time.

So posters like the one who goes by High Football IQ are actually Pats fans?    I actually was beginning to think he was a Dolphins fan...

If I’m correct, he’s a bills fan. 
A bills fan who would like to swap our GM, coaching staff and 90% of the roster with Miami 😂😂

Yes, it’s been going on for years around here. Fans of other teams are ok, but the ones pretending to be Bills fans are annoying.

We cant be scared of this, if we want to be considered good, get better, get challenged , then we got to beat good teams. This is an opportunity. 

 

The Seahawks are good, but I think we do a few things that could be effective. In Buffalo, we have a chance....


has McDermott ever beaten a top 5 or even top 10 team in the league?

If he is pretending to be a Bills fan he is not doing a very good job of it.  He is doing a very good job of being a mindless troll.

After barely hanging on against Beli I just don't see an electoral path to beating Russ. Can White stay with DK all day? Can we stop the run or even touch Russ's jersey? I just can't see us holding them under 28. I think Josh will generate some offense but if you want that signature win, this is it. Can Sean come up with a motivational speech to blow our players heads off? Maybe, but unfortunately I think we go down 35-24.

So far, we have beaten the teams we “should” beat. We have yet to beat one I think we just “could” beat. I’m not overly optimistic, but I’ll remain hopeful. You just never know.....that’s why they play the games! There is not a team in the league I don’t think we could beat if things bounce our way. 

 

Hoping we go back to the form we showed the first quarter of the season!

I don’t think so... I think you’ll see Tre stick to one side and the coverage roll (the sky/cloud defender—kind of like the 2 in a cover 6) go to the other side of the field.

 

That really lets the safeties key a bit easier since they don’t have to swap assignments based on pre-snap motion/adjustments.


This. 
 

I anticipate zero man coverage. Likely a lot of 6, which allows an extra man underneath with Tre doing the heavy lifting.

I’d love to get Knox back for this game. I think he offers a good option for Allen to find up the seam and within the zones. 
 

I also agree that I am not optimistic but am excited for this game for two reasons: 

 

1) We get to watch our boys line up vs the best offense in the NFL. Win or lose, we get to see how they stack up and “enjoy” the show

 

2) The Bills offense can sling it and not need play conservative. We aren’t playing the pats where we can win with 3 points. I hope they bring their big boy pants and Dabol gets a touch more creative with the play calls to get guys in space and break some big ones

this might be the least concerning game on the schedule. win or lose I want to see Allen have a good game against a really bad defense. take that momentum into the 2nd half of the season. 

 

the chargers/49ers/broncos games are the big ones as we realistically should be winning all 3 games

We've beaten 3 teams with winning records.  And before people crap on the fish they've beaten the Rams, crushed the 49's and came within one score of Seattle. Hell, NE had two shots from the 1 yard line to beat Seattle a few weeks ago,

 

Seattle is a very winnable game.

Please do well, Buffalo.  I live in the Northwest and deal with Seahawks fans daily.

Me too. I had 3 of my Neighbours stop by and give me crap already today and a guy, jokingly, flip me the bird when I went to the grocery store With my Bills cap on. Neat to see all these new football fans though 😉

I love that this game is just a 1:00 PM game and its in Buffalo. Time change was this week...I know Seattle travels well...but I like that.

 

seattle always has that weird game once a year where wilson plays bad and they just look like out of it, hopefully thats this weekend

 

Allen also has to step up. 4 weeks of bang average performances from him, he needs to bring his game back to week 1-4 levels.

We should treat this as a game we have nothing to lose

 

Let Allen get hot early and get into a rhythm 

 

I wish that would happen, but if it's like the Chiefs game, Allen gets in his own head & plays stiff in big games, especially in the beginning. 

All the receivers were open with easy throws available, poor passes everywhere. Finally throws a good pass, receiver drops it. Rinse & repeat until we're playing from behind, run game gone, and Allen getting a growing sense to try & dig us out of a whole by himself (which just digs the hole deeper).

If he can come in feeling little loose, we'll be ok. If he's amped up & tight like the Chiefs or Titans games, we'll be in for a long day. 

Another important factor is taking advantage of the few stops the defense gets. 
 

***Edit:***

 

Even if they're getting run all over like in the Chiefs game, they managed several key stops. If that happens again, take advantage of that blessing & keep them off the field for as long as possible!

No quick 3 & outs. Even if we just hold them to a FG, that's a win for this team. Just need the offense to capitalize & keep up.

What was the Cowboys record last year when we beat them on Thanksgiving?  Other than that, I got nothing...

 

See, here is the dancing goalposts thing.   The Titans obviously were not only a winning team, but a winning playoff team last year who contended for the AFC Championship, with a "push" record (2-2) when we beat them last year.  Same defense, same RB, same OL.  Different QB.  We beat them, but I've learned it doesn't count (despite defense, RB, OL).

 

The Cowboys were a winning team (6-5) at the point where we beat them.  They finished the year with a top offense (6 on points, 1 on yards) and I think had a top offense when we faced them and beat them, but I've learned it doesn't count because they finished the season 8-8

 

And so it goes....

Okay, one of our resident stat guys, or info treasure trove guys, please tell me McDermott has at least one or two "signature wins" in his entire 3 year tenure with us...surely we beat one or two teams who finished the season in the top 10 in the standings....

Falcons finished 11-5 back in 2017 when we beat them... other than that I got nothing

2017 Falcons and Chiefs (both 10-6, top 10)

2019 in AFC, Titans and Steelers both top-8, Titans played for AFC championship, Steelers just out of playoffs NFC Cowboys 8-8 ditto - but no one in NFL top 10

NOBODY thinks McClapper has a signature win, yet!

 

His Record against PLAYOFF TEAMS is...

 

2017 = 2-4

2018 = 0-7

2019 = 1- 4

2020 =  0-2 ?

 

TOTAL = 3 - 17 15%

 

Plus 0-2 in the Playoffs.

 

We think he is better. In fact, he’s NOT!
All the previous stiffs this Millennium had a record of 24%!

 

BOTH records are terrible.

McClapper is worse.

 

Beating stiffs, is not good enough... by far!

 

BtW, the 2020 Cheatriots are a stiff.

How quickly we all forget the 2018 Minnesota Vikings who did technically win more games than they lost at 8-7-1.
