I'll be there. Going to the DMB concert the night before at the garden then heading to tailgate and hopefully meet some fellow Bills fans in the parking lots.

Head to Lot 26 for the big Bills tailgate.  There will be a lot of us there.

After the Jags game I can't imagine anyone would pick the Bills in a blowout win right now especially with a high school level OL.

 

Yup.  Until the Bills can string together a competent performance on O, there's no reason to think they'll cover a 13.5 point spread.  Based on the last couple weeks, 13.5 might qualify as an over, not a spread.  The Jets have some talent on the DL, and we're going to see them get after Allen.  We'll see if Dabol can come up with something to counter the pressure that doesn't involve #17 running 27 times.

I say try Doyle. Can't be much worse than the guy who apparently can't pick up a defensive line stunt, something they teach in HIGH SCHOOL. 

It was reported that  Doyle was warming up on the sideline on Sunday, did he end up going in? Also, he’s a tackle, can he also play guard?

Bills offensive output over the last 7 games... 35, 43, 40, 38, 34, 26, 6.

Yeah that's great but did you watch the game Sunday? 

 

The performance against the Dolphins was nothing to be proud of either.

 

You seem like a guy who should bet the Bills this week, -13.5, have the courage of your convictions

Clearly the Bills will never score another touchdown again.  They are a complete and total failure as an organization and they should just forfeit the rest of the season.

 

Feel better if everyone gets on the hate train?  Or maybe some folks can express some optimism perhaps - that's conviction too.  Name one team that has zero issues to deal with and plays lights out every single game of the season.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying

 

Or, perhaps, i'm expressing concern that there are some worrying things on this team, and the coaching staff doesn't seem able or interested in fixing them.  The Jets will be an acid test.  I hope the Bills win by 99 points, but since that might require being able to score from within the 5 yard line, i won't hold my breath.

[ColoradoBills]

Sundays loss to JAX was BAD, really BAD.  Every team can drop a game during the season to a basement team so I will let it go.

The bad thing is the timing which has now brought the Pats* a half game behind in the Division.

 

The offense has to work through it's issues and they need to show that this Sunday.

Let's both have the "the courage of our convictions".  I normally don't gamble on sports, but I will place two bets with you.  I win $50 if the bills cover the spread, you win $50 if they do not.  Another $50 on the Bills over under at 13.5, I win if they score over, you win if they score under.  *"Based on the last couple weeks, 13.5 might qualify as an over, not a spread."  If the Bills score over 13.5 but still do not cover the spread, its a draw.

Hopefully we can get some help Sunday. Obviously we need a Bills win but if the Browns can beat the Pats then that would make for a great Sunday. I wouldn't even care about the results of the other games.

[Blainorama5]

The coaching staff's interest in fixing the problems isn't the concern - ability to fix them is definitely debatable.

 

Losing a game like that really sucks!!  No question.  Given their history this season though - it's really hard to see them just magically losing the ability to score points (even from with the 5 yd line).  The kind of fixes everyone seems to want aren't exactly the kind of changes you just whip up mid season with a snap of the fingers.

 

I still like this team's ability to bounce back after getting punched in the mouth.  Jets game could be telling but not sure it's going to define their season.

I would think the idea would be to slot Doyle in at RT and get Williams back to G. 

 

The question would be is Doyle at RT going to be worse than Ford at G? I would think it would have been worth a shot to slot in Doyle at RT and give him a TE to chip his man or keep the RB in and help him.

I'm willing to take the Jets at +13.5.  Obviously betting the under on 13.5 would be stupid, but I would have said the same thing a week ago

I would stay away from this game betting wise. We all saw the Jets get destroyed by the Colts. I wouldn't trust the Jets to stay within 13.5. I also don't trust the Bills to cover the spread either.

Yeah i'm not enthusiastic about it either.  13.5 is too big a spread for any game, frankly.  My fear for the Bills is that the Jets see what Jax did, drop 7 and watch our OL crap all over themselves again

Honestly like that idea much better than anywhere Ford is in the lineup. Guy is playing practice squad type level.

NEED SUGGESTIONS

 

Since I can't start a new thread on the College Forum... (no clue how long the probation period lasts, I asked admin w/o an answer). I'm going to be at the Colts game on the 21st. Oklahoma State is playing at 8 p.m. vs Tech that Saturday on FOX. 

 

Anyone suggest a good place to watch the game? Thanks!

McDermott said Spencer Brown will be back at practice so hopefully that won’t be necessary

You called me out on my post (and I accepted your challenge), but you are unwilling to back up what you said? Looks like only one of us has the "courage of our convictions".

 

To recap what you claimed: "Based on the last couple weeks, 13.5 might qualify as an over, not a spread."

Seems a little strident.  13.5 as an over is a joke, made to point out the ridiculousness of a 13.5 point spread favoring a team that scored 6 points against one of the worst Ds in the league.   By all means though, bet all you like on it, nobody is stopping you

If the Bills lose this one the season is over and the fan reaction won't be nice and give up on the Bills . They better not lose this game

One of the areas we really dropped the ball. Obviously with Teller, but honestly I’d consider both an upgrade with we have now.  I’d love to know what the sudden change in heart was with Spain that caused his departure.

Everyone should spam this tweet at the official Buffalo Bills twitter account.

 

Beane didn't think Teller was good enough to make this team over a guy like Feliciano.

 

And Spain was cut a few games into the season because he apparently wasn't a 'process' guy.

 

Truly sad stuff here.

[BillsfaninSB]

No one gave a crap when Teller was traded.  Many were shocked the Bills got a draft pick in return.

 

It’s just a case of a player flourishing in another system.  Wyatt could have flopped here in Buffalo if he stayed.  Who knows.  Good for him.  He is going to get paid next year.

It's called peaking which it looks like the Bills did before the bye week. This is also the time of year where separation starts and you see who is truly a contender and whose a pretender.

 

I've had a theory that the Chiefs could be their 'SB' in hindsight because of all the eggs put into that basket to beat a team that's having a down year and simply not that good. And they also played above their heads against an elite Titans game and I don't believe are going to mentally from that 4th down play.

 

Obviously still a lot of football left to be played but I think even if they beat the Jets this week it's not going to be easy or a blowout because this team has too many glaring flaws that have been exposed and aren't able to be fixed until the offseason. And what's really sad is the Jets have more wins over teams with a winning record than the Bills do. If anything don't be shocked if the Bills are blown off the field and last week wasn't even the low point of the season yet.

They did not play above their heads against the Titans. They lost a hard fought game.

[RichRiderBills]

I'll admit Teller was a big mistake. ...but Spain got more money, showed up fat and overweight and deserved getting axed. Great that he's turned it around. Meanwhile we go to AFC championship. Spilt milk.

 

As it stands, I'd like our chances against the Browns with Felicia and Brown back.

When drafted, I wondered if the future “best case scenario” plan was Spencer Brown takes over LT, Dawkins kicks to LG, Doyle takes over RT and Williams stays at RT.

 

Dawkins and Williams could be phenomenal OGs.
