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...
Scott7975 Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 The Bills really need to take advantage and win this game with KC a game down now. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chongli Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) One of the moderators on the Jets forum guaranteed a win Monday, or else he would ban himself: https://forums.theganggreen.com/threads/2023-week-1-new-york-jets-vs-buffalo-bills-mnf.99188/page-7#post-4331232 I guess the mods there do drugs, lol.

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...

The BBFS, PTSD, ABCD, Chaka-khan, Chaka-Kahn is in FULL EFFECT! I’m handing out free scripts for Valium and Prozac for everyone on this board because we are going to need it and it feels good anyway. How can you not love this place? We’ve got it all. Guys with reasonable analysis, guys who don’t know jack, guys who can describe the texture of Mike McDaniels taint. We’ve got it all! As Bart Scott says - CAN’T WAIT! Imagine this place if we tie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait for the lads to prove everyone wrong! I think many feel that Buffalo has lost some ground because the Jets were lacking one thing and they now have it. 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...
pennstate10 Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 The weather report scares me a bit. Wind and rain usually hurt the team with the better passing offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 So far per weather underground: The blue font is rain chance percentage, the second one is cloud cover. 4 minutes ago, pennstate10 said: The weather report scares me a bit. Wind and rain usually hurt the team with the better passing offense. Agreed but at the same time, this is where tight ends could be really be used. We should have the advantage there.

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. 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...

Wind and rain usually hurt the team with the better passing offense. Possible it hurts both teams, wind more than rain probably. Jets may be more of a passing team now too, or maybe more than they were last season anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DapperCam Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Would love to see Cook, Kincaid and Knox have big games. We already know we can pass down the field. Let's establish the short passing game (especially if the weather is lousy). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
