Success Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 (edited) This is appropriate at this time. For anyone who remembers, it was the G-men who exemplified the idea of overcoming adversity in the 2007 season. That was the promo leading up to the SB - "resiliency!" Tiki Barber decided to retire. Their next best back, Ward, got injured. Their best offensive player, Shockey, got injured. Everyone wrote them off. And they proceeded to go on a legendary playoff run, culminating in one of the greatest upsets in sports history. It's all about embracing adversity, and rallying around it. Treat challenges as opportunities. This Bills team can take the 1st step toward doing that by beating a team who set the standard for it.

billsfan89 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 This is a big game for the Bills. They have to kind of get their mojo back after that weird London disaster. Groot and Shaq should be back on the edge and Benford in the secondary along with Poona Ford being active to fill in for Jones who was out early in the London game. That should be some solid defensive reinforcements. If the Bills can't dominate the depleted Giants then who will they dominate? In the end, I think the Bills take this by 2-3 scores but I am always nervous in these types of "should win" games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their OL is the worst in the league and the Bills lead the league with 21 sacks. If the Giants win this game (THEY WON'T) then heads should roll in OP. The Bills would have to give the game away for the Giants to have a chance at winning. They are that bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see them trying too hard this game to make up for the last game and really mess things up. Sure...the Bills now have become a 7-10 team. WTF are people smoking. Get off that stuff bro. The losses they suffered probably aren't even worth 1 loss. They've gone from a top 3 D to a top 10-12 D. So what? Before the season started with Edwards gone people were fine with the Bills focusing on offense and allowing the D to be average, like 15-16th. They are far better than that, so what's the problem? Diggs and Allen are the two major ones that would likely derail them. Anything else is simply a matter of tweaking some things and managing.

k2mountain Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 I imagine three coaches burning the midnight oil (more than usual) to prove a point: McDermott... to prove he's a Defensive mastermind, and wasn't wrong for letting Daboll go. Dorsey... to prove he's just as good as Daboll, if not better. Grasshopper wants to defeat teacher. Daboll... to prove last season wasn't a fluke and that he is HC material after all... and that the Bills made a mistake letting him go I also imagine Josh is hyped up to show he's a good QB no matter who is OC.

zow2 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 The game is the NFL version of the football gods handing the Bills a gift after the London disaster. If Buffalo cannot take advantage, then they should wrap up the season and call it a day. The Giants will come out fighting hard, they've been embarrassed, but I expect the Bills to be able to execute what they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Process Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 The more I think about it the more I think the giants are the worst team in the NFL. They are just awful, everywhere.

ShakAttack Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 The funny thing about some people freaking out and expecting a loss after a loss is that Bills record after a loss since 2020 is something like 10-2. ”Oh but it’s different circumstances this time; we just lost White, Milano and Daquan!” yeah well it’s always something isn’t it. Remember week 1? If anything, we have been fortunate to face off against who we have coming off both losses this season. Hopefully this will be another get right and confidence building game like the Raiders. If our backups can do their jobs in McDermott’s defense it will bode very well for us going forward. Remember, NOBODY gave Bernard a shot either…… he might as well have been a backup LB starting for us going into the season in all of our eyes. Instead, he was an UPGRADE. I am not an X’s and O’s guy, but when I watch our defense, it seems more about being able to play your role than individual talent a lot of the time. Which means the overall scheme is more important than any one player, and I have a lot of faith in McDermott’s defense. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will only say that Allen hasn't been "too hyped up" since week one of this season. Even in the loss to the Jags, it wasn't "sugar rush Josh" that led to the Bills' downfall. Even when things got desperate, he continued to play under control and within the offense. He didn't get crazy or force anything. Can it happen? Yes. Any given week. Do I think the Giants have the defensive talent to make it happen? No, not particularly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the Bills' odds in this one, they SHOULD win it, but I acknowledge that they could lose" and saying "I'm not confident in this one. Based on last week's display, Buffalo could struggle to move the ball. They'll be lucky to be a Wild Card this season". There's acknowledging parity and upsets and "any given Sunday", and then there's overreacting to a loss and saying that the Bills are gonna struggle to beat a team like the Giants. The former is logical and reasonable and I have no problem with it. The latter is reactionary, hyperbolic "prisoner of the moment" stuff, and you see a ton of it around these parts after a loss. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
