dave mcbride Posted September 13, 2008 Author Share Posted September 13, 2008 Yeah, but we did win that 2nd game in '03. That's my point! Seriously, I do think they're a tough opponent, and are playoff caliber. It's a tough game for the Bills, and they played poorly there last year (although I do realize the lineup is quite different).

It's a tough game for the Bills, and they played poorly there last year (although I do realize the lineup is quite different). I am heartened by the fact that they kept it close last year, despite being outmanned in terms of talent. The D can't spend the same amount of time on the field this year as last. I think Bills win a close one, with Edwards executing a broken bootleg on the last play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Now THAT'S a nice reference! Just a small one. ps - Jags injury list is growing, still should not get overconfident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Bill Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I am heartened by the fact that they kept it close last year, despite being outmanned in terms of talent. The D can't spend the same amount of time on the field this year as last. I think Bills win a close one, with Edwards executing a broken bootleg on the last play I remember watching that game last year and feeling pretty good about our chances up until the 4th quarter when the wheels started coming off. I sincerely hope the heat is not getting to us late in the game. It sure seems like this is an upgraded, improved Bills team, and the Jags are hurting due to offensive line injuries in particular. Frankly, I'm expecting a hard fought win for the blue and red! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Why do you keep ignoring 2003? I know it was a woefully painful season to live through, but it should account for the stats. Especially that Jax was week 2 opponent, we were riding high on a rebuilt defense anchored by a new DT & LB, still had questions about the running game and the QB. Ok, I'll stop now. You are right, Gerry. I blocked out 2003. Still, I think that winning the opener has more often meant good news than bad, and will cling to that even as I worry every week... It's the lot of a Bills fan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleed Bills Blue Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I still don't know how I'm going to watch this game over here in Berlin, but GODDAMN IT, I'm going to find a way. Yikes, for your sake I hope you're in Berlin, Ohio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VOR Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 What is the percentage of teams that make the playoffs after winning their opening day game? It's pretty high from what I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills7834 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 What is the percentage of teams that make the playoffs after winning their opening day game? It's pretty high from what I recall. I'm thinking the team that wins most of their games will go to the playoffs. I haven't looked it up on the internet but I'm pretty sure from memory that is how it works.

And I heard that you win most of your games by, now hang with me here for a second, scoring more points than your opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 True. And I heard that you win most of your games by, now hang with me here for a second, scoring more points than your opponent. I thought you had to hold the ball longer than your opponent. Thats what I've read here numerous times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you need to draft more defensive linemen than your opponent. This emphasis on the score is just following the ball, and real experts never do that.

Bleed Bills Blue Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Well you're all close. The important thing is how the coaches grade your individual performance during the game...at least that's what a lot of the players used to say during the Williams/Mularkey eras.

Or that one either! *fumbling with my slide rule* I have the formula right here.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
