Dave in Avon Lake now Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Beat Colts in close game 17-14 Luck gets a late TD to make score close Beat Patriots with or without Brady (NE always is a slow starter) 20-14 Lose to Miami 17-7 Miami D causes turnovers Beat Giants 24-17 They always play us tough and ODB gets at least 1 TD
PromoTheRobot Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 I predict losses against Indy and NY, because even with our defense, I think top tier QB's could give us trouble. Aggressive defense can be game planned for, and our secondary may be able to be exploited by the real good experienced quarterbacks. It will be hard to clean their blood stains from the turf.
mannc Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 I think the Miami game will be the toughest of the four, especially if Brady sits. Miami has a pretty solid team and they are always tough to beat in S. Florida in September. I predict a 3-1 start.
Wazzu Bill Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Week 1 - The Colts start out by trying to prove their commitment to a more balanced offense by running the ball with Gore. However, their offensive line is not great at run blocking and the Bills, possibly with Red Bryant in on early downs, stuff the run and make it pretty clear early that the Colts are going to have to beat them throwing. The Bills start with long, methodical drives down the field with a healthy dose of McCoy and Clay on underneath routes lead them to a 10-3 first quarter lead. The Colts come out firing in the 2nd Quarter and Luck gets the offense moving picking on Ron Darby's side of the field and using the size advantage of his tight ends getting mismatched against Robey. 13-13 HT. The Bills pick Luck off on his first drive of the second half and turn it into 7 and then begin to win the field position and time of possession battle. A late Colts TD drive is not enough to snatch the win. Bills win 26-20. Week 2 - New England comes in and struggles to cover the Bills wideouts. Short throws are turned into big gains and with Jimmy G unable to test the Bills defense deep and Brown and Bradham patrolling the areas in which Edelman and Amendola like to work it is 14-3 Bills at the half. New England finally gets Gronk going in the 3rd Quarter but they also turn the ball over twice and can't keep Watkins under wraps. This ends up comfortable in the 4th. Bills win 28-13. Week 3 - This time it is the Bills who are in a hole early as Tannehill dinks and dunks down the field for an opening drive score. The Bills hurt themselves with turnovers and end up staring at a 17-3 half time deficit. The Bills come out energized from the break and Tyrod (whether starting or in as a wildcat) makes some plays with his legs to drag them back into the game but Miami's defense stiffens in the 4th quarter and Tannehill adds another strike to seal the win. Miami win 24-13. Week 4 - The Giants hit the Bills deep and early but the Bills don't panic and move the chains against a suspect Giants rush defense with McCoy breaking a big one to level the scores. The Bills control the ball and the clock for the rest of the first half and lead 13-7 at the half. Eli briefly restores the Giants lead but from then on in the Bills defense comes up big with a pick 6 and the ball control offense sees them home. Bills win 23-14. Through 4 weeks - 3-1. I like your W/L predictions but no chance these games are that high scoring. Our offense wont be able to put up 23+ points 4 weeks in a row.
RevWarRifleman Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Mastershake, I was just wondering yesterday when somebody was going to put this up. Well, here goes: Colts L, even with our D, Bills not up to being able to hang w/ serious playoff teams. Pats W, Bills D going to come after Garropolo like a piece of raw meat. He'll be the one that gets deflated. Fish L, tough road game, they got a QB, and Suh on D. G-Men W even w/ Eli, Giants are going through changes. Didn't bother with the scores. No disrespect, I don't care if the Bills win 99-0, or 2-0. A W is a W to me, that's the main thing.
scribo Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 I don't understand picking the stinkin' fish or the NJ Giants over our Bills. The other two games could be very tough. The Miami game is more important than the Colts. I believe the Bills can win all four.

The Bills at home can hang with teams that wanna beat us throwing.
SF Bills Fan Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 I say 3-1. We'll beat Indy and the Pats (we will slaughter the Pats if Brady does not play), lose to Dolphins there and beat Giants in Buffalo. I see Luck having one of his 27 of 35 for 300 yards and 3 TD and two INT days, but we win that one with a defensive TD, two offensive TDs and 2 FGs
RevWarRifleman Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Except when we "hung with" Green Bay presumably. The Bills at home can hang with teams that wanna beat us throwing. I just think that the Colts are a stronger team right now than GB.
RevWarRifleman Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 I like your W/L predictions but no chance these games are that high scoring. Our offense wont be able to put up 23+ points 4 weeks in a row. I agree. My concern right now is that Bills opponents see our QB (whoever he'll be) and O-line as the weak spots. Therefore they are going to load the box on us & force the QB to beat them with his arm. Even with a good run game, it'll be hard for the offense to put up more than, about 24 pts per game. Our year will rise or fall according to our defense, and hope that our offense improves as the season goes. Go Bills
Talley56 Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 The Senator, on 25 Aug 2015 - 06:49 AM, said: I have but one word to add... 19 and 0, baby!!! GO BILLSSS!!!! this guy knows 19 wins after only 4 games? We're going to be magicians! My picks: Bills 19 Colts 17, Luck gets them some points but our defense gets to him when it needs to Without Brady, Bills 20 Pats 13, with Brady, Pats 24 Bills 17, just being realistic Bills 16 Dolphins 13 Bills 20 Giants 3 So depending on the Brady trial I can see us going 3-1, 4-0
BillsFan130 Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 I'm saying 3-1 but if brady plays 2-2. Going to be tough to beat Miami in that heat plus it's there home opener
jeffismagic Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 I can't do this until the QB is chosen. If it is Cassel we lose game 1.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) Predictions and scores for first four games, regardless of who starts at QB, where do you see us at. I see us 2-2 winning our division games. Let's go Buffalo! I'll raise you one 3-1. Week 1: Indy 23 Bills 21 L Week 2: NE 17 Bills 23 W Week 3: Miami 13 Bills 27 W Week 4: Giants 19 Bills 24 W Let's go Buffalo! Edited August 25, 2015 by BillsFan-4-Ever
TSOL Posted August 25, 2015 Author Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) I'm truly loving the optimism! Hope for the best, but expect the worst. I'm thinking, statistically, OBJ has better stats than Sammy in our game against the Giants. Edited August 25, 2015 by mastershake
mead107 Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 We win first 3 games in fight to finish. We blow out giants
