Boatdrinks Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Bills walking into a hornets nest here on Sept. 11th. Jets D scores TD late to seal it 28-17. Media love fest with NYJ kicks into overdrive after being forced to acknowledge the Bills for a few seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teef Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 8 hours ago, Giuseppe Tognarelli said: It is going to be so so so interesting. The emotion in that stadium for their home opener on 9/11, Monday Night Football, most highly anticipated opening game for them in decades or maybe ever, Super Bowl aspirations... It's going to be crazy. Almost an impossible-to-even-imagine level of crazy. Sometimes, environment and emotion are overrated when it comes to football games, but I'm not so sure that's true in this one. I think it's a tossup on the football field regardless of the other factors. I'm surprised the Bills are favored. No result would surprise me. I mean…it’s not going to be that crazy.

Better backend. I actually think the Jets are less likely to expose our tackles their best players up front are on the interior. So in theory our improved IOL should help manage that threat better than we did in 2022. But will be a tough test. Saleh is a good defensive coach and Q obviously is a beast up front.

CNYfan Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I think Garrett Wilson is a stud. Didn't the Packers score 0 points after their first drive against SF in their Playoff loss. Rogers led them to 0 points, iirc, after a run heavy first drive? CJ Mosely lives to play the Bills. Our team will have to find some excitement and fury somewhere and play better than they have since the first half of the last Green Bay Game (when things for some reason stalled out) if they are going to grab a W in NJ.

colin Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 the bills come out showing lots of looks, EP offense finally has the weapons and blocking to run how it should. passing out of heavy formations and running into light boxes, the bills waltz down the field and take a 17-10 lead in the first half. the bills d does a little change up here and there and a few well timed aggressive calls gets the jets to turn the ball over. bills walk away 34 24, but the game isn't as close as the score.

Coach Tuesday Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I would like to see some evidence that the Bills are not still sleepwalking. Saturday looked like a continuation of the somnambulist state we saw against the Bengals. If the pilot light gets reignited then the Bills should handle their business against the Jets. But there have been too few signs of that this offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DapperCam Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I’m not sure what to think. That stadium is going to be hyped, and I think the Jets get a healthy serving of home cookin’ from the refs. Their defense gave us a really hard time last year, and our defense looks like it can’t stop anything. Probably going to be a sloppy game with turnovers and penalties on both sides. Should be a close one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mannc Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 The Jets are going to be the trendy pick here…all the experts are going to pick against the Bills and I expect the line to move to Jets -1 before kickoff.

Blackbeard Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 You won't see a lotta run in this one by the Bills, other than Cook here and there, and Murray to end zone. Our WRs win this one handily. Kincaid is still an unknown and will be hell to plan for. The offense will be difficult to stop, passing wise, even for the Jets. Our D will get after Rodgers. I worry about the short middle though. Bills 30. Jets 24. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the Jets SuperBowl. It feels like Bills Patriots week 1 with Bills blowin out Pats 31-0. I don’t think McD can get the Bills to match their emotion on the road. If Bills get down a couple scores early this could be a blood bath. All that said, I also am skeptical Rodgers has anything left. Trust in Allen to play a clean game with Cook rushing for 130. Bills 27- Jets 17 No way Cook runs for 130. Allen is likely to be pressured all game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilthyBeast Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 All signs point to this being an ugly, low scoring game given both teams offensive line issues. So the question is does the better offense or defense carry the load and early in the season? In most cases it's the defense that is ahead of offense which would give the nod to the Jets as they are the better unit across the board and probably a top 5 unit at worse this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which team would make more of a statement opening game on national TV with a victory? This years Media Darling under the bright lights, home Monday night on 9-11 with their shiny new QB. Man! That is one tall order for any visiting team ladies and gentlemen. Will the Bills be able to handle the very aggressive and physical Jets D in front of a raucous home crowd? The Bills need to remind their rivals and the rest of the AFC that they are still a major contender for a championship. Will they dominate like last year? Probably not, but I got my fingers crossed on a close victory. Also, I will be far from surprised if a healthy Jets team comes out super amped and takes the W. Its always been my opinion that they, not the Fins are our biggest divisional threat. GO BILLS!!!!! The Bills dominate the Jets?

The Jets should get better and be a real threat after Halloween as for Aaron Rogers sake there is some oline cohesion by then. The Bills have had to stew on the Bengals game…now the Steelers game…and every negative comment the national media has made about them. The only cure for this is a 34-17 win in New Jersey. I feel the same way…if the jets had their home game as the second matchup and away game week 1 i think we probably split on the season but I’m expecting us to beat them twice.

Captain_Quint Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 If it weren't a division game, I'd say it's kind of a throw away game since it's week one. The interviews since the end of last year have been about getting hot at the end of the year and using the beginning of the year as a tune up. With the Bills schedule, I don't know if they can afford to do it this year. The last 8 games are a gauntlet, as it looks right now. Last year they came out smoking hot and fizzled at the end.

RyanC883 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I think we start with a short passing game to keep the Jets from briniging the house, then hit a few long ones. Also mixing in the run. As others have pointed out, the Jets OL is bad. Oliver in particular needs a good game. I think Floyd brings it. Low scoring due to our offensive strategy, I could see like 17-9 or something. D will bend but not break from the Jets run game. 18 minutes ago, Fleezoid said: Have your puke buckets ready, it'll be an Aaron Rodgers love-fest! Yes, it will be.

If I'm concerned about my tackles holding up I don't think there are many defenses I'd like to play less than the Steelers. As for the Jets, their best edge rusher in pre-season has surprise, surprise been Bryce Huff. Again. It's almost like if they just accepted that a former UDFA is better than some of the guys they have made big pick of dollar investments in and put him on the field full time they'd be better.

dorquemada Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 McD has got to be focused and in turn get the guys focused as well. Environmental factors work against the Bills but they can quiet the crowd with a couple quick scores. Alternatively, McD chokes in big game on national stage, media declares Bills run over, and Jets in ascendance. Either way i just put some coin on Bills -1.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastport bills Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 This game is impossible to predict with any degree of confidence. We know the Bills have the better roster, but the home field combined with heightened adrenaline an opening game brings, could even the playing field. I think the game is a classic pickem scenario. I don’t think the Bills will be able to run the ball against the Jets front seven, especially this early, so Josh will have to pick them apart with quick release passing and timely QB runs. My question is how will the defense stack up against Rogers, Cook. and a few quality receivers. If we can dominate their O-line and get pressure on Rodgers, that could be the difference.
