JerseyBills Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 (edited) Was just going to start a week 1 thread. Also regarding the line - Buf is the 2nd most bet team at around 75% of the $ on them only behind the Jags. But i think the biggest key on D will be to double Wilson all day and I'd leave Tre on Lazzard. Also have to dominate the l.o.s.. Will be the 1st game Jets ol have played together Don't know what to expect on O but envision alot of motion and formations we haven't seen in the Allen era Edited September 5, 2023 by JerseyBills 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiotAct Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 the Jets were the only team to beat us last year in the regular season where it didn’t take multiple cases of near-heatstroke by our players or a one-in-a-hundred-thousand set of freak occurrences to do so. This game is going to be a slog. 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally, that Jet secondary might be one of the best in the league.

78thealltimegreat Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 I really like the Bills in this one but… One factor that really has me watching this is the officials. Based on all the X Factors Sept 11, Primetime, Aaron Rogers first game with the New York media pumping up the jets tires like the second coming….have to watch for the inevitable Refs wearing green jerseys deal…heck we saw it in a meaningless preseason game in Pittsburgh where the Bills in the first half breathed in the wrong direction and it was a penalty. 3 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Low scoring game, I'd have to take the Jets if they are giving 2.5. I think the score could go either way but should be close. If it gets to 3 I'd expect a lot of bets on the Jets to pull the upset. Jets hype is at an all time high and on 9/11 that stadium will be intense 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we have seen with the Chiefs having a weapon at TE like that does wonders for the offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatsFanNH Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Well let’s break down the position battles: Jets D Line v Bills O line — Advantage Jets Bills D line v Jets O line — advantage Bills Jets secondary against Bills Receivers — slight advantage Jets/ push.. it’s close. Bills Secondary v Jets WR — Advantage Bills Running Backs — advantage Jets wild cards? QBs who will show up? Aaron Rogers — has Father Time caught up with him or was last year an aberration? Allen — he is a top 4 QB, but he sometimes gets into trouble when he tries to play hero ball and with the Jets secondary that could be fatal. outlook— I wouldn’t bet on this game period. My Gutt says Jets in a close one but the Bills could easily win it truly comes down to how the QBs both handle the other teams too 10 D.

BuffaloBillyG Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Here's the thing about this game. I know it's a week 1 game and there's a LOT of season to play...but for the Jets this is a MUST win game. Before you snicker consider the following: - Aaron Debut as a Jet - Monday night football. - At Home - On Sept 11th - Saleh and the Jets ran their mouth all off season - Media Darlings to include Hard Knocks - The many moves they made with beating Buffalo in mind This is their Super Bowl. This to them is the same as those early season games we have had against KC. Their whole off season of hype and good feelings culminates with this one game. Saleh has crowed and put the target on the Jets back. They cannot fail week 1. Furthermore, the league needs the Jets to win this game. The hype machine that was the Jets off season needs to continue so they can push the Rodgers led Jets in a large market. Anything close I expect to fall the Jets way. Sometimes, that's just the hand you're dealt. For the Bills this is just a week 1 game.Yes, it's against a division rival but Buffalo's outlook is going to be more "go 1-0 every week". And if they don't they won't panic. They will move on to the Raiders. Buffalo can (even though Vegas has them favorites) play this game with far less pressure IMO. I believe Allen, Diggs and crew will be fired up. They were lackluster (to put it mild) the last time they played a game that counted. And a fired up Allen playing to prove a point is a scary thing. 4 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 (edited) We have tickets through work in the Metlife 50 Club. It is field level behind the Bills bench. We had a choice between the Pepsi club higher up and 50 Club at field level. We chose the 50 club figuring we would likely never get field level access ever again at the risk of maybe not seeing as much "live football" We are going to get in super early for a two reasons. One is the food, raw bar and filet! More importantly, warm ups. I have to imagine field level behind the bench for warm ups is a blast. Anybody have any experience for the game itself? Will I be hanging out outside or watching the game on TV in the stadium? https://www.newyorkjets.com/photos/the-metlife-50-club-3131626#244c5e07-a1de-46d0-be2f-ae4eb360f9f1 Edited September 5, 2023 by Mango link 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great for Sunday afternoon because the big screens shows the redzone. They also have big screens inside the stadium around all corners of the stadium. Monday night not a factor but on Sunday's you get all the redzone action. In the case of the Jets they focus on Bills, Pats, and Dolphins games since those are the out-of-town scores that Jets fans are most interested in.

I read some stuff online that seems to indicate that their might be actual seats in the stadium associated with the 50 Club? But couldn't confirm one way or the other. Not a huge deal. I am likely just getting excited/anxious. God knows I have watched enough games over the years on the big screens sitting in corners and end zones. If I get to do the same from behind the Bills bench on the field, I will be thrilled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whichever defense dominates the offensive line is going to win this game. If Josh gets time, he can pick apart the Jets, same with Rodgers. With my Nephew being a huge Jets fan, i think we both agree this will be a fun game to watch for one of us and aggravating for the other. Do not think it will be close either way, winner wins by 10+. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 5 hours ago, JaCrispy said: Glad football is back, but I do not like this matchup… This matchup is tough and a good test out the gate for both teams. The good news for us is that the OL is still an issue, the receiving weapons outside of Wilson are mediocre, and Rodgers is still getting a feel for the players, offense and timing. But, we have our own new pieces integrating into our team as well, and when it comes to week 1, you never know who is going to shake the rust off and find a groove first given most the starters across the NFL barely see any action in preseason. 3 hours ago, BuffaloBillyG said: Here's the thing about this game.

One, you could see it as the amount of pressure on the Jets it all puts. Or two, you can see it as a lot of reasons for the energy to be high and the Jets to be fired up. It won't surprise me at all to see the Jets drive the field on their first possession and score a TD, to be honest, I kind of expect it. We saw this numerous times last season where the shout box would melt down like we were a 1 win team after an easy early TD drive by the opponent. Then, Bills adjust and clamped down most the time. Ultimately, I think the Bills win and it is going to be a situation where Jets start fast with all that adrenaline and energy, but then cool. Personally, I think it will likely be a close game late and Bills will eventually go up 2 scores in the 4th where the Jets just can't overcome and final score is a Bills win by 1 or 2 scores. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hype and crazy loud fans/media work both ways. Let's not forget the Steelers/Bills "Renegade" moment. If the Bills stay cool and under control, they have an advantage IMO. The Jets are playing with a lot of pressure on them to perform at a "hyped up" level. It's going to be hard to wait until Monday night to watch this game.

I don't think the Bills will have that many fans this year. Weekday game (Monday night) plus this is the most highly anticipated opener for the Jets in a long time. Jets fans will show up for this game. As for the rowdiness of the crowd. MetLife took care of that with raised ticket prices and PSL fees. Crowd is not as crazy as it used to be at Giants Stadium or Shea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 For every NFL matchup you can sit down and come up with a half dozen reasons why one or the other team will win, but it typically comes down to who is more talented and who makes fewer mistakes. When I look at this matchup it comes down to the following: whose OL will do a better job? Both teams have excellent defenses with strong fronts and secondaries. Which OL will give their QB the chance to make plays? On paper the Bills' OL is much better than the Jests' OL. I think that will be the difference maker...Allen will get enough time to make plays, while Rodgers will be constantly harrassed. The Bills now have the players to run legitimate 12 personnel sets. They haven't had that before, and it puts pressure on the Jests' D. I don't think this will be a one-score game. Bills by 10. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
