BuffaloBill Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 We will go through the upcoming season one game at a time. Post your thoughts on the following: - Who wins the game? - What is the best player to player matchup in the game (best game within the game)? - If the Bills are to win what must they do from a gameplan perspective? We start with week one - the Baltimore Ravens - what are your thoughts?
PromoTheRobot Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 I expect a win. I don't think the Ravens are that scary. I think Rex and Roman will have some jedi juju ready. I don't worry much about the early season. It's the late season when other teams figure out what we're doing that keeps me up.
plenzmd1 Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 Win on the road for the good guys. Match ups ..TSizzle vs the right side of our line LaDarius Webb vs Clay if they scheme that way Sammy vs the DB across from him Our Safties vs Flacco How we win: Like most, I think we will need to win with offense this year. Control the clock and ball with a controlled passing game plan that features a ton of Clay and Sammy passes in space. Throw in Shady runs ,and control the clock. Bills win 28-24.
C.Biscuit97 Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 I'd feel better if it was at home. I think people are talking too much about the Ravens being down. They still are a tough team, especially at home. I also don't think it's a great thing that they had Taylor for 3 years. They will know his weaknesses better than any other team in the league. I see a loss but a surprise victory would be a great start to hopefully a playoff season.
eball Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 Bills should have a huge advantage in both passing games. Not predicting an outcome though.
CNY315 Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 (edited) Haven't paid much attention to B'more this year. I'll have to learn a bit about them before I decide how I feel about this game. Hell I don't even know how the Bills look yet. I have read Kamalei Correra looks pretty good so far Edited August 13, 2016 by CNY315
Bills!Win! Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 No ray Lewis. No anquain boldin. No Torrey smith. No ray rice. They were the reason the ravens won the Superbowl. Not a chance that Baltimore's beats Buffalo with a no name roster
EmotionallyUnstable Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 (edited) I like our chances here. The match up most intriguing to me is that which we will not see: How does having Ed Reed and Tyrod Taylor, both formerly of the Ravens, impact our game plan? I can't help but to imagine they have tremendous insight on the opposition's scheme. I hope this valuable knowledge won't be taken lightly. Edited August 13, 2016 by AlwaysBilleve
yungmack Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 Way too soon to tell. Current injuries to the OL, linebacking still not settled, haven't really seen ST in action, some concerns on my part with S and CB depth. I'll wait to see who's healthy the week before.
jimmy10 Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 Took a quick gander at some Ravens boards yesterday to see if there was any reaction to Tyrod's deal. Not a lot of reaction, they're mostly positive and happy for him. But it looks like Ravens fans expect this to be a big matchup, with Tyrod coming back, the chance to make a statement.
BaaadThingsMan Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 Bills win Tyrod vs Ravens D will be the storyline Offense shows explosive plays Defense has up and down day but makes enough plays to win Rex weeps

I'm going to make a slightly homerific prediction that at some point this season some Ravens fans will be wondering aloud if they kept the right QB.

Maury Ballstein Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 Ravens are good at home. We are starting IK. Ravens 28-17.

plenzmd1 Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 Ravens are good at home. We are starting IK. Ravens 28-17. Not anymore !
Talley56 Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 It sounds like some expect us to win at Baltimore with perhaps relative ease. I think that's a dangerous assumption. It's rare that the Ravens follow one bad year up with another. Keep in mind, week 1 last year they went into Denver and came within a few yards of the winning touchdown. Only lost by 6. Then the injuries piled up and I think that contributed to their downfall the rest of the year. They'll be healthy again week 1.
