thebandit27 Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 people keep bringing up a short week? don't the jets have a short week too? isn't that kind of a wash? It's more about having to turn around and travel for the game on the short week than anything else. Think of it this way: Buffalo has one rest/film/game plan day, one practice day, one travel day, and then the game; New Jersey has one rest/film/game plan day, one practice day, one walkthrough day, and then the game. It'd definitely tougher on the road team.

The Poojer Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 i think it's important to note, Buffalo lost both games to the Jets last year, and also David Carr threw for 300+ yards and Tyrod didn't even sniff 200 yards. I think that paints the only picture anyone needs to see.....
Andrew Son Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 Bills don't generally play well against NY teams after blowing out the Raiders...

I think that paints the only picture anyone needs to see..... David Carr has thrown 0 passes this season. I guarantee it.
Numark3 Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 Bills don't generally play well against NY teams after blowing out the Raiders... Hehe
LeGOATski Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 David Carr has thrown 0 passes this season. I guarantee it. But if he did, he would get 300+ yards. Tyrod can't even.
thebandit27 Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 What do you think a "travel day" consists of to Jersey? There's probably more to it than you think. It's not just hop on a plane and we're there; ready to go. It's travel, check in, set up for meetings, video, meals, etc. Is it particularly arduous? No. Is it significantly more time consuming than what the home team has to do? Yes.
TigerJ Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 The Jets are playing better than predicted at the start of the season. So are the Bills. I think it can be argued that the Bills are surprising observers more on the upside than the Jets. The biggest change for the Bills is in the reduction of mistakes. Penalties are down, Buffalo players are holding on to the ball. That doesn't depend on the opponent either. It's true that the game is in New Jersey, and that makes it a little tougher than it would be at New Era Field, but there is no particular reason to think the Jets will win.
PaattMaann Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 There's probably more to it than you think. It's not just hop on a plane and we're there; ready to go. It's travel, check in, set up for meetings, video, meals, etc. Is it particularly arduous? No. Is it significantly more time consuming than what the home team has to do? Yes. Bills practice today, tomorrow and then wednesday...fly out after practice wednesday...I believe they will have the same amount of prep/practice time as the Jersey Jets have (but you are correct, away team has to deal with travel, even if it is only a 20 minute flight lol)
The Poojer Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 see, you get it!!! But if he did, he would get 300+ yards. Tyrod can't even. Bills are the only NY team Bills don't generally play well against NY teams after blowing out the Raiders...
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 I think an NFL team can handle all the travel inconveniences given all the support these guys get. The only hangup I could see are delays.

I can see where a road game anywhere is challenging logistically to the staff who set things up on the other end. But for the players? It's what, an hour flight then travel in waiting buses to the hotel or to the Meadowlands? I don't see the impact of a New Jersey trip as "significant".

And choose a nice outfit for the Benrus Best Dressed contest.
MILFHUNTER#518 Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 I wonder what Jimmy Spags thinks of this week's matchup?
devldog131 Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 Don't be such a fargin corksorker. "This is fargin' war!"
teef Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 Yes, but the Bills travel and will miss a day of prep. It's more about having to turn around and travel for the game on the short week than anything else. Think of it this way: Buffalo has one rest/film/game plan day, one practice day, one travel day, and then the game; New Jersey has one rest/film/game plan day, one practice day, one walkthrough day, and then the game. It'd definitely tougher on the road team. good points, and to be honest, i never really considered it.
