Its kinda funny... I just got done reading identical posts on TBD about how the Bills play terrible in primetime and why we should loose etc.. and then stop over here and see the exact same thing from you guys! As much dislike as there is between our teams, we actually have a lot in common. Logically, I like that the Bills are finally healthy and really have only lost to the Pats while having our key players active. EJ gave the Jags a 21 pt spot and they still managed to comeback have take the lead with 5 min to go. A L is an L, but it was a valiant effort w/your equivalent of Geno mucking it up.. We lost to the Giants. you lost to the Raiders= push. We eeked out a win vs Tenn, just like you guys did vs Jax... Neither teams have really beat a quality opponent and our big wins were vs terrible teams. I wonder if its a bigger advantage that Rex knows how the personal plays (weaknesses, tendencies) or that the Jets personal knows how Rex coaches. Also, it cant hurt some guys are familiar with Fitz. For the Bills, Woods and Clay get most of the catches... but if its raining it may be more on Ivory and McCoy/Williams If this was in Buffalo I'd feel much better, but think the injuries are just too much to overcome and the Bills eek one out.. 20-17
Well this surely make sense as a prediction given your comments. It's too much to overcome. With that said, they overcome. Makes sense pal lol
if it's raining hard the offensive efforts could get ugly. i don't see the Jets pounding it against that Dline. Colon out and Mangold banged up , and it's tough sledding to begin with. same goes for Buff. Taylor scrambling could pose a problem for the us tho..
I'm not sure where the communication breakdown is "guy"...so lemme break it down..... If it was in Buffalo I'd feel better... (about the Bills chances- as I feel pretty good anyway) but the injuries are just too much to overcome (in relation to the Jets chances of winning) So in summary, even though its an away game IMO the injuries are too much for the Jets to overcome and the Bills eek one out..20-17 Not quite sure why that was a difficult read "pal"?!?! Come on Turk, keep up!!! We have a guy named Jimmy Spaggs who comes to TBD every Jets week and he is an absolute blast. Come out smack talking to the extreme and most of the time none of it is based in reality and we absolutely love the guy He never comes back AFTER the game though. After a rough start, you guys have been pretty decent. Those who engaged in conversation, thanks! win or loose, I'll at least show up after and say good game
It didnt seem to hinder him last week, but fwiw he should still have a brace on. Lots (comparatively) of called qb runs as well.. not just broken plays and options. For our chances, I just hope he continues to be smart about getting down. Although one was called back, he does have a few 30+ yard runs for TD's
i can see Taylor leading the Bills in rushing tonite.. even if we leave an ILB to spy him (which we should), he can still do damage. i don't think McCoy will have much room to work with rushing. Bills will need to try screens and short passes to get him and Clay involved. from the Jets perspective, hit Decker and Kerley on short passes. If Rex gambles by leaving Marshall in man, take shots at him and maybe find a big play there.
The difference to the game will be injuries on the O-Line. The rest we can handle, Mangold and Colon are huge. We will have no running game without those two. This Jets team is very beat up, they'll need to be perfect tonight. Even with Revis on Sammy Watkins I would look to double him often tonight, take away the one game changing weapon they have and make Tyron beat you with his arm and other options, if he does tip your cap, but don't let Watkins the obvious go-to do it.
It SUCKS when a team gets bitten by the injury bug. It leaves you with a bunch of "what ifs" and gives you the terrible feeling you got jobbed because your full team wasnt there. We had that at Jax for example. National people put that on us as a terrible loss.. and it was, but we had ZERO of our playmakers in on offense. EJ spotted em 21 and they still almost pulled it out! But, almost only count is horseshoes and hand grenades At the same time, generally, the injury bug is something each team must go through during the course of a season. If this is the Jets time, I hope the Bills can take advantage. If so, it'll hopefully set up a rare meaningful game for the last matchup of the year Jan 3rd. The national media seem to be taking the Jets at just less than a 2-1 clip. The Jets seem to be riding their early season success and the Bills are looking to prove that they are a contender and beating a good Jets team would go along way in doing so. The Bills need to earn their respect while the Jets need to prove theirs is legit. Its storming nasty here in Buffalo. If its like that in NJ for the game tonight this could turn into a barn burner and having Mangold in will be huge if it turns into a running game. As I've said all week, I think these teams match up on paper very well and it'll come down to the wire.
Perhaps proper sentence structure when you pivoted from Buffalo to Jets injuries would have made your point clear. Either way youre still the best Bills fan I've ever come across around here hands down.
I could probably go down to the Y and grab a bunch of kids there to beat the Phins with. I will use the old, "you must not be watching any football" since Miami clearly sucks this year. They have only beaten Washington, Houston and Tenn. and already lost to the Bills at home 41-14, why would you not give the Bills a shot at home?
The sad thing is this is the best thing Nike was able to come up with. Plain red & green shirts with a number and the team logo printed on. Sounds like a shitty Spike Lee movie from the 80s. This whole thing is just so cheesy. The last time they hyped up this "all white" thing the players didn't even bother to show up. Let's see if they show up tonight.
I'm not saying that my friend. I saw some of the Dolphins Skins game. I knew Buffalo was banged up, I didnt realize how bad the Dolphins are. My apologies. Sent from my SPH-L710T using Tapatalk
