JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 What I've Liked: EJ Manuel's demeanor and ability to learn and improve Robert Woods Kiko Alonso Yes, those are our top 3 draft picks. Mario's game vs Panthers Dareus' game vs Ravens Game management by our new Head Coach Overcoming adversity Fans have been a factor in home wins Been in every single game. Fun to watch. More physical than past teams Jairus who? What concerns me: Injuries. Enough already! Penalties. Eric Wood must be trying to cover for Colin Brown cause he doesn't hold this much. Shankopotamus. I hear Brian Moorman is available. EJ's ball security (or lack thereof) EJ's accuracy on the long ball (or lack thereof). Constant underthrows of our fastest receivers. Just put it out there! Justin Rodgers 8 sacks allowed vs Jets Haven't heard one opposing team say that the tempo of our offense gave them any trouble Losing side of almost every play under review. WTF? 0-2 in our division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 As I posted this earlier ... 2-2 at the 1/4 mark on pace for the 8-8 that many would love to see and whine about with each L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 After the 1st quarter of the 2013 season, the Bills are a respectable 2-2 with close outcomes in each contest. The next quarter of the season brings the following contests: @ Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals, @ Miami Dolphins, @ New Orleans Saints Looks like a pretty challenging stretch to me given the opponents they'll be facing with three of the four being road games. I'm thinking 4-4 at best. IMO, the Bills have to win on Thursday to be even at the halfway point. Where do you predict the Bills will stand at the halfway point assuming the return to health of Gimore and McKelvin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Cat Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Obviously these predictions don't factor in devastating injuries to our team, or our opponents. But I can see us sitting at 9-5 with two division games left to play. @ Browns W--the bloom will be off the rose in Cleveland. They haven't seen a defense like ours, and their lack of firepower will finally stop them dead. (3-2) Bengals W--The wheels are coming off in Cincy, and with Gilmore likely to be back, alongside McKelvin and may be Byrd too...watch out (4-2) @ Dolphins L--They're for real. Four W's in a row seems like a lofty perch for this team. (4-3) @ Saints L--Tough road game against the class of the NFC South (4-4) KC W--We own these guys at home, that doesn't change this year (5-4) @ PITT W--Worst Steelers team in a decade. (6-4) Jets W--Got our Ya-ya's out in what will be our worst game of the year (7-4) Falcons (TOR) L--Unless something drastic happens, they'll be out for blood trying to keep pace with NO (7-5). Plus, Toronto? Yuck. @ Tampa W--These guys are struggling. Don't see them righting the ship with stretch Glennon back there. (8-5) @Jacksonville W--Worst team in the NFL. By a mile (9-5) That sends us back to the Ralph for our last home game of the year in a match up against Miami... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quinnearlysghost88 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I like it all. But I'm going to be BOLD and say, if we're healthy in the secondary and Byrd is back, we beat ATL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could go either way on Cincy, Atlanta, KC and Miami... Could be ugly, could be real nice. The rest I feel very good about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8-8 Forever? Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 If no more serious injuries to starters, I could see this, as injuries and turnovers decide seasons and games in today's NFL. But that is big ask, so I am thinking 8-8 as a few serious injuries will happen to derail this party , plus playing all those games against teams coming off extended rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny how after a win almost every game seems winnable, and after a loss it feels like we might never win again. I think this is the most optimistic scenario that is still realistic, if that makes sense. I could see it happening, but I could also see 5-9. I'll predict 7-7, flipping the Pitt and Cincy games to losses. Then I'll say we beat Miami at home in week 16 and have an outside shot at the playoffs going into week 17 at New England.

swnybillsfan Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 through the first quarter of the season this team has shown tremendous spirit. the players are playing hard, they are fighting through injuries, and the coaches are trying to adapt to situations. the growing pains are very evident but i really like this team a lot. there are many players that are improving game to game seemingly, and hopefully throughout the rest of the year the progression continues, chemistry and trust build, and the mistakes lessen. this is looking like a pretty wild ride, and i'm loving it!

Peytons Neck Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Idk if you should be so quick to say that we own KC. This year is different for them, I've watched two of their games this year and they are extremely talented. And a rededicated Andy Reid looks like one of the best coaches in football.

boyst Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) Oh yeah, I had this on my notepad and didn't paste it... Likes not mentioned above: - Aaron Williams leadership - Dareus' entire season - Manny Lawson! - Mr Special Teams aka Easley - Carpenter - The OL trying as best they can...good effort. Dislikes not mentioned above: - No screens or play action - Eric Wood playing like an idiot. @Browns Bengals @Fins @Saints KC @Pitt Jets Falcons @Tampa @JVille Miami @NE My take... @Browns W Bengals L @Fins L @Saints L KC W @Pitt W Jets W Falcons L @Tampa W @JVille W Miami W @NE L 9-7 We beat the Browns this week, but I could see us losing and winning next week, too. We go to Miami and lose to their shot out of a cannon success. Drop the Saints. Beat KC on willpower and avoiding a 4 game losing streak. Go to Pburgh and beat them because they look worse then we do with NO offensive line. Bring the Jets home and get revenge with our starting DB's back. Lose to the Falcons because they are still the Falcons. Banking on Tampa still not having answers and we win, same with Jacksonville. Miami, well, we'll just have to win at Miami and we know that. We drop the last in NE because the second game against NE is always the worst. Edited September 30, 2013 by jboyst62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playoffs are gonna really be tough if KC and Miami keep playing the way they are cause they will lock up the wildcards with Denver and NE in their divisions...
