mitchmurraydowntown Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) Folks I'm just going to say this quite simply, the Bills aren't going to apologize this weekend. We went from decent college prospect to NFL QB. You think that we prepared this team to literally hold all from no real running & a great pass rush on defense for a reason ? You bet, it's because we will actually score. Our team with Orton in place is not a normal offense, it's an explosion of passing. Running will be involved but Detroit will end up chasng our WR around the field without much success. Stafford has basically been abused more this season without as much talent chasing him as the Bills present, yet he's going to succeeed ? The best chance for Detroit is to hope somehow Matt gets some type of protection, which isn't going to happen. I'd plan on the Bills to jump to a near insumountable lead early on & then really making a statement. Orton will find wide open WR & the Lions will crumble quick. I actually think that based on everything being equal, the Bills will roll to a 25 point victory. Take the moneyline every chance you get, to maximize returns. I actually waited until after the switch in QB's to pound the difference home. Megatron has already been accounted for & that normal outlet Stafford has will not be open as planned. It's a pick 6 haven for abuse, great to see the oddsmaker think contrarian. Enjoy the win. Edited October 4, 2014 by mitchmurraydowntown
zow2 Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 A victory here would just be gravy. I'm fully expecting a loss. This is Orton's practice game ahead of the big New England clash next weekend. The best chance the Bills have in Detroit isn't Orton in my opinion...it's the D coming up huge and stuffing the Lions, taking the ball away a few times and maybe even scoring themselves. So they have to win on D, win the special teams battle and show some competence on O. If not it's a big L.

We had 3 takeaways last week, based on even decent QB this should of been a win. Why would we allow EJ to throw a majority of the time, especially after watch conservative ball in the first few games ? We only lost by 6 versus Houston, yet EJ was pulled ? Talk about a joke normally, guys don't losr their jobs losing close unless they themselves are the cause.
Thurmal34 Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) A win here would be huge, because after this week, which admittedly is dicey, there are seven wins in a row sitting there for the taking. Look at the sked. If Orton can simply be average, there isn't a game between 10/12 and 11/30 that could be considered an automatic loss. Edited October 4, 2014 by Thurmal34
stevestojan Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 If the Bills don't cover, I'll be surprised. Blow out? Remember Donkey Kong Suh.
BackInDaDay Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 if Orton can make the 3 or 4 completions that EJ couldn't - the ones that move the chains and keep drives alive - we win. i'm not sure how much more consistent Orton will play the position, but it won't be too big for him
filthymcnasty08 Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 I think we're at least in for a good game... We have never seen our receivers thrown open nor have we seen bubble screens (Sammy's specialty) or Slants where the receiver is ready for the throw or proper "jump balls" to Williams or Woods getting involved early and often We have a QB that can read a D and make every throw.
die hard bills fan Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 I'm with you. Big win for the Bills.

But if the D plays lights out then bets are off and we can get the W.

Not trying to start an EJ crusade or anything--I actually want Orton in right now--but this is not true. EJ has done this quite a few times this season. People should be more careful when using the words 'never' and 'always'.
PromoTheRobot Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 The O-line has to just hold up long enough to give Orton some time. Our WRs will be open.
YoloinOhio Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 The O-line has to just hold up long enough to give Orton some time. Our WRs will be open. agree.
PearlHowardman Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 The SU Orange football team just lost to Louisville. When SU loses, the Bills follow with a loss.
YoloinOhio Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 The SU Orange football team just lost to Louisville. When SU loses, the Bills follow with a loss. does SU ever win? Every time they are on tv, they lose. Seems that way anyway. They miss St. Doug...
stevestojan Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 The O-line has to just hold up long enough to give Orton some time. Our WRs will be open. I guess I'm supposed to say "this" or "+1" but I'd really just like to say that I agree.
harv shitz Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 I will say it again, this team is three (3) errant throws by Manuel from being 4-0. the obvious completion to J.J. Watt, and the two missed that would have been TD's against the Chargers. If Orton can play well, we have a real shot at the division, and I firmly believe that.
The Wiz Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 I just worry about Kyle W. and Bradham being doubtful for the game. Hopefully we can overcome them not being in.
SJDK Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) I see us moving the ball pretty well. This could be a huge statement game for our offense as EJ left probably 100+ recieving yards hanging last week. Our receivers were pretty open on a lot of plays. I think Kyle hits those and that will help us with the run. I legitimately think this group of young players and "washed up" quarterback will school the leagues best defense this week. On the flip side of that is absolutely no running game from detroit with bell out and really only reggie bush, megatron is hurt a little bit... I like this game Edited October 4, 2014 by SJDK
boyst Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 IN! I guess I'm supposed to say "this" or "+1" but I'd really just like to say that I agree. THIS! ^^^^^ Ack ack.
