Rudyc80 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 What the hell is wrong with you guys predicting us to lose...the jags offense is better than the raiders and we shut them down and the raiders defense is nothing to special....i dont care where this game is...we should win by 10 at least! if the friggin steelers could beat the raiders.....its pretty sad if we cant!

Thailog80 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 When is the last time we won a game on the west coast? Fluties last game in Seattle maybe? I hope we win Rudy but come on look at our history on the road the last few years. Oak at home in their opener = loud= false starts, etc etc etc. Can we win yes....will we....we'd better. If we are to win we'd better be ready to play, this is a big test for MM and this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Norv Turner is the Raiders coach, say no more. I fully expect a Bills win this Sunday, & will be shocked if we lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCBillsFan Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 I don't put a whole lot of faith in "history". This is a different team with different coaches. We will win this Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JinVA Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 I too expect a Bills win in Oakland, but not because Oakland sucks, but because I was encouraged of what I saw out of the Bills last sunday and am confident with a game under their belt and film to study they can get it done.

stevewin Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 I think (hope) we will win - but with the seeming lack of intestinal fortitude displayed on occasion by this team and players over recent history I don't think you can discount the effect of the black hole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 I don't know if most in fact feel that it will be a loss. However, the Raiders lost on a last second FG on the road last week, and this will be their home opener, and it is but week #2. So the bookies are favoring them by 3.5 pts. in my local n'paper.

nodnarb Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 nobody sucks in this league. arizona can beat the pats this week if a few things happen right and the stars are aligned. I'd still bet everything i have that they won't, but they *can*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillnutinHouston Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 This is an outstanding test of what we are really looking at this year. Appears to me that we have decent talent and the coaching won't kill us. The final (maybe most important) question is - do we have the heart of champions or do we not?

gantrules Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 All I got to say is look at Marvin Lewis and what he did in Cincy last year. He struggled early and came back to darn near make the postseason. Give Mike a few games to work out the bugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jukester Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 The big question is can we score some points. Our defense is good but we need offensive support in the form of 20 points. If we score 20 offensive points against the Raiders, we win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gantrules Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 20 would be nice. Good lord I'd like to see us score 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayzer32 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 In order for us to win, I think we will have to pass. Fat Sapp and big Ted in the middle will be tough. Going against an experienced and somewhat mobile QB in Gannon does not bode well for us either (even though he is 51 years old). Our D had 2 sacks against an immobile, inexperienced QB in Leftwich. If we can stretch the field some, we will have a good chance. If we stick to the same gameplan as last week, I see the same results. Again, the black hole is not an easy place to play, even when it's no the home opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike In Illinois Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 I watched the Steelers-Raiders on Sunday (because the bar I was at wouldn't show the Bills game.). A buddy of mine is a huge Steelers fan and he said that Pitt. has a couple of young guys in the secondary and they would bite on Gannon's pump fakes, one of which was on a TD pass to Gabriel. Pittsburgh ran pretty well on Oakland and those aged defensive tackles. I think if we commit to running the ball and the DB's don't easily bite on the fakes we'll be okay.

I think it will be another nailbiter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayzer32 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Pittsburgh ran pretty well on Oakland and those aged defensive tackles. 32226[/snapback] Oak held Bettis and Staley to 92 yds rushing, yet the Pitt won. Jax held TH and WM to 106 yds rushing and we lost. The more Sapp and Ted play together, the better they will get. We will have to open it up some or we are screwed. With that being said, we will probably run for 200 yds and win by 20 pts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
