Lol they could point to the Pats and say they bet the Pats and the Bills let them run up 31 points and loss to them. My point? Division games are a different animal and usually very hard.  Heck the Pats 2 wins are to the Bills and Jets both teams are better than NE d the bills a hell lot better.. but division games are a toss up.. I mean the Giants bet Washington.. 

 

also you seem be a stat guy.. so you realize Allen throws more than most QBs this more INT. Be interesting see if the Bills stick with the run or go back to running it 12 times and throwing it 40 or more

 

I fully agree with your post, division games are much more unpredictable for sure.  That's what is expected obviously since being so familiar with one another...

 

Regarding the statement in bold....Knowing they have done some dumb stuff some this year, I don't think (at least I hope) there is a level of stupidity quite that high and don't see any reason they don't stick with keeping a balanced attack with the success they've shown running the ball.

 

I have been surprised before though lol

But if our starting nickel is out, it hurts us big time. There's a big dropoff from Taron Johnson to Siran Neal or Cam Lewis. And if Dane Jackson misses the game, then the Bills are one injury away from 35 year old Josh Norman lining up against AJ Brown or Devonta Smith.

Here's hoping our secondary can get right in time for this matchup. We're gonna need every one of them.

Honestly, I'm not sure the dropoff is as big as in years past. Taron has made some plays, sure. He's also given up quite a bit more than usual this year. When Neal and Lewis have been in they have actually played pretty solid.

This comment is why just throwing stats out there without context is misleading.  It's also why I hated Josh actually throwing up that Hail Mary last game.  Yes he threw a pick last game, so people like you are going to run with "well he has an int for 6 straight games" but come on....if he doesn't throw that Hail Mary the streak is over.  

 

Also though, why would Josh throw that ball?  I know it's just a stat, but I hated he threw that ball BECAUSE of comments like this.  I think him not throwing that ball, having him go a half/whole game without a turnover would be much better for his psyche than a useless Hail Mary attempt. Perhaps call the Hail Mary in the huddle, but as soon as that play broke down, just run 10-15 yards and call it a half

True the streak would have ended! Then it be 6 of the last 8 games with at least 1 pic. As I mentioned elsewhere in all but 1 loss the team has been very throw heavy, with the running backs getting less than 20 touches. Seeing as how none of the games were blow outs that seems odd and a bad stat to have.I think the worst was only 8 times against Denver and they were running it well those 8 times.

For sure, but you asked if we have any CBs and we do. the Jets beat them without Sauce.

I disagree too.   But why be mean about it?

 

We’re all long suffering Bills fans.   The Bills mafia is a ‘band of brothers’ (and sisters!).  

 

That guy may be long-suffering, but he's not a Bills fan.

Hurts doesn't scare me as I don't think he is that good of a QB, he is a great runner surrounded by really good players and a great coaching staff, actual QB play, meh! our QB is way way better.

 

My opinion is Phillys coaching staff is the best in the league and that is where I worry about losing the game. They consistantly put their players in position to win and they don't lose games, their opponents have to beat them because they aren't going to beat themselves.

Allen’s scrambles will have to pay off against that DL.  He makes some big plays we can win.  He dauntless or throws a pick, we lose.  
 

they will probably run down our throats but, that may not lead to tons of points.  We could win if we have the ball last.

 

I still think we’ll loose tho

 

I think we'll be loose too.

 

Bills 31-23

I agree. I know it’s an unpopular opinion, but I think Taron is having a tough year for his standards.

 

I get he gets asked to do a lot.

 

But it seems like he’s given up a lot, especially in key situations

Nothing about this matchup makes me feel like the Bills have a chance. And I’m not even sure crazier things have happened.

Crazier things haven’t happened then a talented 6-5 team beating a talented 9-1 team??! Sooo when the very lucky to be 4-6 jets beat the eagles that must of knocked you out for weeks.

Eagles can run the ball. Swift is a good back with shaky moves. If our D can contain their running attack and force Hurts to throw more - we will be in good shape. Our O can score on their D. They don't have a great pass D/secondary. This will be a great game! GO BILLS!! Do your thing. we're BAAAAACCKKKK!

thats the one big worry I have for this game as the Bills as a whole must be the worst tackling team in the league..Gilliam excepted..grade A+ hit in that last game

I don't know about all that, not sure if he's "givin up" an extra amount of completed passes to call it quite a bit more? But he has "givin up" some DPI more than usual

We MAY get them at the right time.   They are 9-1 coming off a big win in KC.   Hopefully they decide to take the week off.                

They play 49ers after Bills, so that would be nice.

This COULD be a clash of the conference's 2 top seeds.  I look back on our losses - most are ridiculous.

 

And if this Bills team comes out and goes 30+ against the Eagles, I'll be pretty persuaded that our previous OC was holding this team back.  I can see that, also - I don't know what to expect this game, but a 2+ score win for Buffalo wouldn't surprise me a bit.  Not disrespecting Philly, but we're catching them at a good time, and I think we match up well.

Well, we agree on the penalties. And as you say, you're not sure and don't know about the receptions, however he's given up more than normal this year. He's still top half of slot CBs in the league, but I don't think Neal and especially Lewis are the dropoffs the may have been in years past
