BigAl2526 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Buffalo could be 10-1 when they face Philadelphia. Not even Philadelphia or KC look unbeatable. Still, they have to execute every week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 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. 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. It is our hardest game until Philly IMO. Agree, Bill. Traveling West to East for more than a couple of hours is tough. And the body clock isn't primed to play that early when you aren't accustomed to it. I'm worried about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not to be underestimated and it's more than just your body not being ready to play the game early in the morning...it takes a long time for your body to adjust to a 5-hour time difference...according to US military guidelines, it takes your body a day to recover for each hour of time zone difference. I've flown to the UK to play rugby several times and and played a day or two after arriving. It's really difficult and the fact that Jax will have been in the UK for more than a week gives them a distinct advantage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The transitive property doesn't work in the NFL. WAS-PHI was a division game, Washington played well because they played terribly last week, Philadelphia probably wasn't on their stuff as well as they should have been for the same reason, etc. It's a week-to-week and matchup league, period.

Alphadawg7 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 9 hours ago, HIT BY SPIKES said: 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. 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.

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...
