Whether Merriman could produce this year or not has yet to be decided but no bills fans should have been on board with him in the first place. Two torn ACL's, 5 sacks in the last 4 years, and by cutting him the bills saved 4million in cap space they can use or roll over to next year. Its dumb how some bills fans thought he was going to be great on the team this year, the guy is nothing without roids.
well not gonna read thru 7 pages but IMO we are underestimating the bills, and also overestimating the jets capability of righting the ship. if nothing materially changes (injuries, significant roster moves, etc) the bills have a chance to come here and take it to the jets. we'll see
Im excited to see Coples against Glenn in a few weeks. Reports out of the senior bowl that Glenn had a hard time with Coples. Hopefully it happens again.
I dont think many people anymore are underestimating the Bills. I think most expect the Bills to beat the Jets, and for those that don't, they at least recognize it will be a close game and it is certainly possible if not likely. I dont think there are very many people who think "no way do the Bills even have a chance to beat the Jets." Most know the gap has closed.
The gap isn't Jets vs Bills, its Jets vs rest of league and Bills vs rest of league. Divisional games are always up for grabs. The importance for the Bills is keeping the hot start they usually have. Easier said than done.
QFT. Divisional games, for whatever reason (most say familiarity with opponents) are crapshoots a lot of the time.
Right now, the current line on the Jets/Bills game is Jets -3. Since the Jets are at home, this spread show that the odds-makers are suggesting that these two teams are about even. We'll see what the point spread is on opening day, though.
The point spread on opening day will have more to do with where the money is, not on which team is better/worse.....
No shit. I've lived in Las Vegas. My dad lives there, and I'm there a couple of weeks a year. I bet on football every week. Here, I said what the odds-makers are suggesting, because the home team generally gets about three points by virtue of being at home. Perhaps you can tell me where you think the money is on this bet...Vegas is not always right, either. Being a betting man, I bet that the wagers on this game will not fall too far either way.
I'm betting the money will be on the Jets. I'm betting this game won't be anywhere close to the betting line......
I look forward to this as well. We need Glenn to perform right away, protecting and keeping Fitz upright is out ticket to the playoffs.
Your signature is hilarious. Your line won't be the best this season. It probably won't be top 5. Are you also the same guy that said Trent Edwards will have a better season than Sanchez, then a few weeks later he was shipped out of Buffalo and hasn't played since? If that was you, you have a pretty damn good track record.
Trent Edwards never had a fair shot. I believe he would have done much better if he started his career under Chan Gailey and not Jauron. By the way he has played and started for the Raiders since, and is now fighting for the backup job for the Eagles. As for my signature...Mario Williams, Marcel Dareus, Kyle Williams, Mark Anderson. That's all that I need to say. I rest my case.
Trent Edwards looked absolutely atrocious in the eagles game the other night vs 3rd string defensive players
Bet on the game then. Bet with your head, not your heart. It's not a good idea to bet on your own team either way IMO. Even if you ARE able to be objective about it (and are knowledgeable enough), which is hard to do, you put yourself in a strange situation where it's about money and not football, at least to some degree. It's tough sometimes though, because people are more familiar with their own teams than any other, basically. On the other hand, it can be hard to be objective, like I said. Most people are homers, or at least a great deal of them are. I've been betting every week for a long, long time and do pretty well. I'm thinking that this game won't be one where an inordinate percentage of bettors are going to side with one of the teams. Where are you looking?
Anybody watch the bills Defense for the first half against the steelers?? They gave up a 99yrd TD drive which was nice to see but that Defense looks like it is going to be tough to face. That Dline looked pretty darn good
That's what happens when the "underdog" team has an aggressive offseason (Mario Williams) and the "better" team has a terrible preseason. (Wayne Hunter) You are right, though.
