HOUSE Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 (edited) By Tim Harmston - October 22, 2022 When I was a grade-schooler, I was very good at getting out of my homework or faking like I was sick, especially when I had a big math test the next day. When I told my mom I had a fever and couldn’t go to class, she’d put a thermometer under my tongue. But when she left the room, I would put it on the heat register so it would get super hot. One time this caused me to have a temperature of 107.5 degrees. Whatever excuse it took to get out of my test, no matter how outrageous or improbable, I would try it. https://zonecoverage.com/2022/packers/the-packers-should-try-to-skip-the-bills-game/ Edited October 22, 2022 by HOUSE 16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, at least…..that’s what he thought. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US Egg Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 So the writers parents believed their kid had a 107.5 temp? Skipping out of exams was the least of his worries as a kid. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish these guys would keep quite, but at least it didn't come out of Buffalo media. I don't really care. We are a far better team and Josh Allen is looking to bury them after what they did to him his rookie year. Let Rodgers get all riled up. Crushing someone when they are at their best is even better. They realize it's futile. Allen also has a career 108.5 QB rating in prime time night games. Edited October 22, 2022 by Big Turk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m actually surprised by how horrible their defense has been. There’s no excuse for it with all the talent they have on that side of the ball. Just bad coaching with no adjustments. Seems like the DBs have checked out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephilim17 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 I normally don't trust middle-aged men with haircuts like that but it was an entertaining read. "Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat." We don't have beat writers who can do that. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills2022 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 The Packers are a dangerous team. We could come out a little flat off the bye and Rodgers has the ability to play on an insane level.

Mr. Irrelevant Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Until they win the Super Bowl, the Bills will always have the debacle in Jacksonville in the rear view mirror. When they return to the field against the Packers, they will be rested, nearly 100% recovered, and fully motivated. And at home. This game will get ugly, fast. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But frankly, I'm at "the Bills can stop the Bills". If the Bills do their jobs and don't ***** up, I don't think Aaron Rodgers and the Packers have it in them.

WideNine Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 It is a lot different thinking about being THAT team to beat. "Don't blink" is so true. Top teams want to get that leg up on seeding and looking for any edge ala KC. Bottom tier and under-performing teams will see the Bills as that one game that can salvage their reputation. They will take chances and risks because they have less to lose. Up and coming teams with new found success this season will be looking for that validation that they have turned the corner and belong in the same conversation. Basically, every team is gunning for our Bills and they are going to get their best shot each game. The price of being on top. Our best vs your best and let's see who earns the victory. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah John Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 6. The Packers could let defensive coordinator Joe Barry navigate the team bus to the Bills’ stadium through game-day traffic, causing the team to miss the kickoff because he failed to make adjustments along the way. Funny line. And it indicates the Bills' second half dominance will continue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Rodgers should have retired 2 years ago and spent his energy mending fences with family members and working on his putting. 10 hours ago, boater said: I hope the Packers beat up on the Commanders tomorrow. It would be nice to face an over-confident team with false hopes of victory. It's not going to matter if Green Bay is overconfident, underconfident, has a chip on their shoulder, their backs against the wall, a gun to their heads, is a team on a mission, has their manhood questioned, is a team of destiny, or any other motivation/imperative/mandate. They're gonna get their asses kicked by the Bills. They should definitely call in sick to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
