Scott7975 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I'm not worried about the Eagles either. Yeah, they are undefeated but they haven't really played anybody and looked like crap for most of those games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Barring major injuries, there isn't a game left on our schedule where we won't be the favorites, including the Eagles. Don't get me wrong, Eagles are a good team, but I think we are playing better and are the better overall team. The only team in the NFL where I feel like I don't know how we would fare and would have some concerns about the matchup would be against my wifes beloved 49ers, and something tells me our two teams are on a course to meet head to head in the Super Bowl. McCaffrey I think is legitimately in the MVP conversation with Allen and Purdy is playing at a top 5 QB level right now. Detractors can say its only because of the system he is in and that he is a system QB all they want...the bottom line is that doesn't matter when you line up against the Niners because he is playing in that system when he does and he is executing their game plan as good as any QB in the NFL is with their respective teams. I think the two best teams in the NFL are clear: Niners and Buffalo right now (Chris Berman will be proud). Things can change as the season goes on obviously, but today they are the two best teams, and since they don't play each other in the regular season, any other team Buffalo will face this regular season I expect we will be the Vegas betting favorites...including KC, Eagles, Dallas, Cincy, and Miami.

NFL teams are almost always capable of putting up really good fights regardless of opponent. And the transitive doesn't really work either.

BigAl2526 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 2 hours ago, MJS said: How many days does it take to completely acclimate? Maybe the Jags don't have a great week of practice as their team deals with jetlag for a few days? Not sure. The Jags played in London yesterday. I'm sure they were there several days before that. They will just stay in London. The rule of thumb for jet lag is one day recovery time for every hour of change. Jet lag will not be an issue for the Jags at all. If Buffalo heads over today they should be pretty well recovered from Jet lag for the game. Buffalo is technically the home team versus the Jags, but the Jags are far more familiar with playing in London than is Buffalo, albeit at a different stadium. Basically, it's the leagues way of taking Buffalo's extra home game this season and turning it into an away game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it is 5 hours of difference I guess they won't be fully recovered till tomorrow, if your rule is correct. The Bills don't fly to London until later in the week. I think they want to have as normal of a practice week as possible. Teams either try to get to London as early as possible or as late as possible, it seems. I don't think there is consensus on which approach is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there is consensus on which approach is better. What Buffalo can do is keep a schedule that is close to what they would do at home, continue to live as if they are in the Easter Time Zone or change by just a couple hours. Start early in the week by suggesting team members get up and go to bed a couple hours earlier. Then when they go to London, they can just shift a couple more hours and they'll be pretty well adjusted by game time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jags, get out there tonight and every night until the wee hours to experience all of it! The food there sucks. Can you get sick of fish and chips with mayo 3 times a day for 2 weeks?

Haven’t this fanbase learned anything from the last few years? Let’s slow it down with the counting wins before they happen. One week at a time. Any team can be beaten by any other team in this league. I hope the media lay off on Bills hype but I think it’s already happening based on all the football shows today.

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 5 hours ago, Virgil said: I expect the Bengals to turn it around by then. Burrow's injury shouldn't linger that long. With that being said, there isn't a single game we aren't more than capable of winning. But we did lose to the Jets. We also found a way to crap the bed in Jax two years back. Expect the worse, prepare for the best. Burrow has been getting MURDERED behind that OL He may actually get worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
