The Big Cat Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 The Oakland defense will keep this one close...for about a quarter and a half. McFadden will have multiple fumbles (if he gets the majority of the touches). If McKelvin doesn't take one to the house, he'll take one deep into Raider territory. At LEAST once. The Bills will score more than 3 TD's. **Roscoe's due for a big play from the LOS- like the Jets game 2 years ago, I'm predicting a catch and LONG run. Lynch breaks 100 for the first time in 08. The defense will tally at least 2 interceptions. (I'm calling for 4+ turnovers for our D). **Against the Seahawks, Royal was the go-to guy, and last week it was The Head. Wearing my homer-hat and my rose colored glasses, I know that this is because Schonert is using these [easy] games in the early part of the season to demonstrate to our divisional opponents (who we don't face until the latter part of 08) that we have a full arsenal of weapons, and that they have to be aware of EVERY player on the field. I'm hoping this week is the week 'o Roscoe. My predictions for the Seahawks were pretty spot on, but the DLine didn't have as dominate a performance against Jax as I expected. The Bills are going home, the weather forecast is idealic, and my hope for this week is that Buffalo shows that they can not only beat the teams they're supposed to beat, but they can CRUSH the team's they're supposed to crush.

PromoTheRobot Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 It may work out that way, or not. But I'm pretty confident that this Bills team is not so full of themselves yet that they look past an opponent. Oakland may land a punch or two but in the end it will be the Bills by a TKO.

San-O Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I'm almost afraid to ask. Who is "The Head"? Turk definitely seems to be finding matchup issues of the opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I just think their QB is going to do something to screw this up for Oakland..... I think at home we score points....I dont think it will be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think at home we score points....I dont think it will be close. One thing that does worry me about Russel is that he's a big body back there for our press-but-whiff DLine. Did you catch the interview(s) with Kyle Williams and Kelsay on bb.com. They mentioned that's been a huge issue (which was nice), but having another big body back there this weekend won't help our guys FINISH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbanyBill Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I think it will happen like this: Kickoff, Bills score early and often, Raiders fumble ball, go for three and outs and Russell throws INTs, Bills win big at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GO BILLS! Great post. My only disagreement is about the Defense. They held Taylor & Drew -two of the best backs in football in check as well as the Jags passing game. The Bills D DOMINATED.

PromoTheRobot Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 So you see Oakland on their feet, with a chance to win, come fourth quarter?? Since when is staggering bloody and dazed qualify as a "chance to win?" Seriously, how does anyone see Oakland having a prayer? People on this very board were ready to write off the Bills season because our LT was holding out...one freakin' player! The Raiders are a complete cluster-f**k from the ownership on down, that have to travel 3,000+ miles to the game, who have a coach is a dead man walking, and an utter rookie at QB, and people want to talk like they could win????
