HIT BY SPIKES Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Don’t want to count my chickens before I oven roast them however we have a very doable schedule until we play @Eagles, BYE and @Chiefs. The Bucs game is in Buffalo. The Bengals look vulnerable. The rest of those 7 games we should be favoured by 7+ points. Would love to go into our BYE week 11-1 or 10-2. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Jags next week is the toughest game. They have already been over here a week will be acclimatised. Bills only travel over late in the week. I am worried that will give them an advantage. Even though we are the better team. Get through next Sunday unscathed we are set for a nice little run through to the Eagles game. 8 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the Bills have a plan but I'd rather be in Jacksonville's position of having been here for 2 weeks. I do think the Bills should win but I expect an ugly, scrappy kind of game.

CSBill Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 If Von plays, there will be an extra juice. I hope he does, even if just a few plays. The Jags can be dangerous, especially with their familiarity with overseas experience. I am confident we will beat them, but I do not see a blowout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSBill Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 As to the entire idea of this thread: Didn't we learn anything about the NFL yesterday? Last week, every talk show told us how unstoppable the fish were. The fish were already booking their tickets to Las Vegas. They were making room for the Lombardi trophy in their display case. And then a game happened. One game at a time, people, and you better be ready to play every game. Hmmmm? Who do we play next? Oh, yeah., the Jacksonville Jaguars. That vial you have in your mouth right now comes from the memory you tried to bury deep in your brain of the last time we played them. Never forget how awful this following sentence is: We lost to an Urban Meyer's coached football team--he did not even last the season that year.

One game, one week at a time, people, one game at a time! I agree with you mostly. But, last week with the Fish, that was the media pumping up storylines. The media helps pump up narratives for Vegas to be successful. But, yes, one game and week at a time. Weekly matchups and preparation can change a game in a big way. Hopefully the Bills defensive game plan has helped other teams learn how to slow down the Dolphins offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 every nfl game is tough. I hope the Bills can stay hungry and put in the work.

BearNorth Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 (edited) Only team that scares me after yesterday is the 49r's. McCaffrey is unique, Aiyuk, Samuel, Kittle along with CMc may be better than the Cinci group. QB is a game manager, but doesn't seem to make mistakes, Defense is nasty, Best front four in the league.

DapperCam Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I kind of think we could lose this upcoming week with all the travel nonsense. Giants laid an egg against the Cowboys but have looked better. Maybe Burrow starts to heal up and the Bengals look better? Tampa Bay has looked okay this year. I kind of think we drop one game in the stretch before the Eagles game, and I think it might be this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunTheBall Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I don’t get the Jags hype. Lawerence has potential but he’s not consistent yet. If we continue to play turnover free football and Josh continues to play within the game plan I don’t think it’s close. Of course, that’s why we play the game so we will see. I don’t take the Jags lightly, I just think they are one of the teams the NFL decided to hype this offseason. Von won’t see the field next week and he shouldn’t. They are going to give him 2 weeks of practice to work his way into form and won’t risk him on an overseas trip on turf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time the Bills played the Jags, they played horribly in Jacksonville and lost even though at that time the Bills had much the better team. Who knows why that is. The Bills generally have the Dolphins' number but the Jags have had the Bill's number for decades, going back to the Jags eliminating the Bills from the playoffs in Kelly's last year. The time change is really going to work against the Bills, what with the Jags staying over after their game yesterday. I think the Bills ought to be traveling to England tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
