I don’t think the Pats or Falcons games are going to be a cakewalk by any means

Did you watch Patriots yesterday? They had 5 turnovers and 7 or 8 penalties. If they had been playing a good team, they would have lost by 30. Falcons, who knows, not a good look losing 30-0 to the Panthers.

This is a game where the Bills have to take control of this game early and have at a minimum a 2 score lead at half with the ball and then put this game out of reach in Q3. The Saints are arguably the worst team in the league. The defense should hold this Saints team to 14 or less points at a minimum and the offense should put up 31 or more. This is a chance to get fat on a bad opponent and if the Bills want the one seed they have to win this game. You can't let a bad team down you at home.

I don't gamble, but if I did I wouldn't touch an NFL spread that big. It's like those giant spreads in college when Ohio State plays a MAC school. The chance of a backdoor cover with garbage-time points is just too great. I've watched enough SVP Bad Beats segments to know this. 

i'd take a MAC school over any Big10 school before I would a Sun Belt Conference School over a Big10

 

FFFFFFFFFF ICHIGAN. HAHAHA THEY LOST TO APP STATE!

This will be a monster game for Cook.  Pretty hard imagining an outcome where he doesn’t have around 200 total yards of offense, which may be more than all of the Saints combined.

 

hopefully not.  I'd love to see Ray able to take a ton of carries starting in the 2nd quarter to keep Cook fresh.

Why the hate in the comments? Did he talk **** after leaving Buffalo. I don't remember. 

 

yeah he did, although I don't think it was anything too awful.  But not great.  he can come break tables if he apologizes and says 5 nice things

If the Bills are beating them badly, give Cook a rest. Need to manage his work load for later in the season and playoffs.

College Football is so weird right now, don’t know what to make of it, or how I feel about it.

Pats D played pretty well but that O is going to hold them back.  

[frostbitmic]

The Falcons just lost to the Panthers, THE PANTHERS 30-0. Don't be this weeks Falcons.

 

The Packers looking so good weeks #1 and #2 lost to the Browns.

 

Hopefully the coaching staff and players don't take this one lightly, we've seen them play down to their opponents before.

This game is on Allen, Mcdermott and the coaches.  Do what you are suppose to and move along.  First time starter?  Special teams kept Miami on life support so that needs to be sured up to leave no doubt.  1pm kick will have the house rocking.    Buffalo too much everywhere.  34-9.

This is the type of game I would actually strongly consider making Gore active for. Let him absorb a lot of late game touches in a game that figures to be mostly over by the 4th quarter.

Maybe, I’m not sure that their defense was good or Steelers offense is bad, Rogers is washed.

[SoCal Deek]

That Saints / Seahawks game is puzzling. They had virtually the same amount of yards gained both rushing and passing…and identical turnovers, yet somehow the Seahawks crushed them. Anybody see the game?

Is Tyler Shough starting this game?

Mike Sando from the Athletic's thoughts on the bills so far

 

Buffalo Bills

 

41-40 over Baltimore
30-10 over New York Jets
31-21 over Miami

 

Finding a way to beat the Ravens after trailing 40-25 in the final five minutes put even more distance between Buffalo and its mind-numbing, late-game meltdowns of yesteryear.

Otherwise, pretty much business as usual for Buffalo.

 

Having 10 days to prepare for New Orleans in Week 4 seems like overkill for the Bills after the Saints fell behind Seattle 38-3 in the first half of a 44-13 defeat Sunday. It also reflects one of the NFL’s easier remaining schedules (New England and Atlanta follow New Orleans, followed by a bye, which gives the Bills two weeks to prepare for … Carolina).

Idk.  Normally when you bench the starter for the rookie late in a blow out the rookie plays the following week.  Hard to sell Rattler as the best option at this point.  I think change for the sake of change is the only option for them.

Don't have to think much to know that Michigan sucks.

I don’t know what to make of him, he played college football for seven years. If I’d gone to college for seven years, my cumulative GPA could have been 4.0.

I don't know how to feel about this. On one hand, McDermott usually does well confusing rookie QBs with disguised pressures. On the other hand, there is little film of the kid.

I'd be treating this as a stepped up practice if I were the Bills.   Work on the sideline throws with Coleman and Palmer.   We're gonna need more contribution from these guys in the playoffs.   

[BillsFooteball]

I feel like all I watch and consume is NFL and yet I don’t think I can name more than  8 players on this saints team
