folz Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) Went over to NFL.com to check in on the KC/DET game, and one of the home page headlines read: "Week 1 Picks: Jets a lock vs. Bills?!" All 5 NFL "experts" on that site picked the Jets to win. "Dan: Perhaps I'm a prisoner of the moment, trusting the Jets hype train to stay on the tracks when in reality I'm asleep at the wheel. But I do know the Bills couldn't score more than 20 points in either of their meetings with the Jets last season. I don't know if New York's defense will be as good as it was last season, but the offense is better -- and I can't say the same thing about Buffalo with nearly as much confidence." I'm not saying the Jets can't win the game, but it is amazing to me how so much of the media has completely written Buffalo off as a declining team. I can understand not being the darling pick to go to the Super Bowl (like last year), but there are many that don't even have us making the playoffs. I mean, I love that the Bills have been able to have an off-the-radar off-season (I think that was really good for them), but how can the media actually think they have fallen so far off the cliff? Can't wait for the lads to prove everyone wrong! Edited September 8, 2023 by folz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit premature for this imo. It's game 1 and they play in a far weaker division. A loss to the NFC Lions without 2 of their 3 best players on opening night doesn't seem that consequential Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollars 2 donuts Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Regular season since 2020: Chiefs 40-11, Bills 37-12. That other team, not the Chiefs…a number of talking heads, as you all know, are predicting them to finish 4th in their division. Receipts, my TSW Peeps. Receipts. Go Bills! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyC81 Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 In my opinion, this can be a statement game for the Bills. With all the Jets hype, beating them in their stadium on MNF could be big. It would show that the Bills still own the division and, depending on the score, maybe put some doubt in the minds of the Jets. A Bills loss wouldn’t be as big of a deal for them, being 3-time division champions but would be a jolt for the Jets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo, in my opinion, is not as good on defense and the Jets weakness is probably the O line. Buffalo again in my opinion until proved otherwise is not that strong on the O line either. My hope is they're better than last year. Being objective and looking how they played last year I understand why many feel the Jets are the team to beat in our division. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when the Patriots were dominating the division any time a team made big moves in the off season to try and get to their level or got hot in the regular season to create some noise, they squashed it (I'm still scarred by the Sunday night beat down they gave the bills like 56-10) A statement win for the bills will send the jets scrambling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 The Jets are weaker against the run, and I'd imagine their focus is largely on Allen in pregame planning. I hope Dorsey uses this opportunity to establish a REAL run game for the Bills, and put some emphasis on that part of the game. They key w/ the Jets is going to be avoiding 3rd & longs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we lose to the jets we still have one of the most daunting schedules ahead of us. This is a game we "should" win on our sked. If not, we are in for a tough season IMO.

Since1981 Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Last night showed the benefits and limits of running in 2023 NFL. in the end, you have to be successful with passing. Even 1 yrd pass as surrogate for old school run game. Not sure why there’s legacy fanboy love for ground-pound anymore as a means to win any AFCC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DapperCam Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 27 minutes ago, ScottLaw said: Yes, let’s rely on our running game as opposed to the elite playmaker on offense in Allen… no thanks. I’ll take my chances with Allen airing it out and making plays happen with his legs over “establishing a REAL run game”. Bills need to have a running game with the RBs this year. We've been one dimensional, and when the other team shuts down the passing game we have nothing to fall back on. The Jets loss last year is a good example of that. Allen had 200 yards, 0 TDs and 2 INTs (he had 86 yards rushing and 2 rush TDs). The leading RB rusher was Singletary with 24 yards and 3 ypc. The passing game wasn't working at all, and we had nothing else to fall back on except Allen scrambles and designed runs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are good chances of thunderstorms during the game which will make it difficult to pass in.
