Will be very surprised to see the Bills beat the Saints. The ONLY good thing for the Bills is that the game will be in OP, and not in the MB Dome. IMHO, it will be "do or die" for the Bills next Sunday. Benjamin will play. That is huge.

Don't get me wrong, I'd like to see the Bills win this game and REALLY have some wiggle room in the second half of the year. I just don't see how they'll stop the Saints, and also how they'll move the ball. Thursday night was a rude awakening.

And the weather is very much a home field advantage in this matchup. Helped against Oakland. Five nice wins mean nothing. Focus on the one bad loss of the season.

In fact, it'd be worse than meaning nothing.
DCBongo Posted November 6, 2017 Posted November 6, 2017 This is going to be interesting as the Jets game was a brutal defeat on all levels. I am interested to see how the team responds against a good opponent. The think the season is over due to one bad loss is silly. The super bowl Bills used to have one or two ridiculous losses a year (prior to the SB). I am not suggesting this team is equal to the 90's. I am only saying take the loss as a learning experience for a 1st time HC and let's see what happens next before we all going into panic mode.

The saints are not winning out and winning the SB. They are due for a loss. This game will be very tough for them too. Benjamin is familiar with them

Benjamin is familiar with them I don't think every fan base has a history like ours. Even someone as sunshine-oriented as yourself has to admit we've seen things like this happen several times over the last 17 years. Until the team proves it to me otherwise, I reserve the right to look at them with a jaundiced eye. Edited November 6, 2017 by joesixpack
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted November 6, 2017 Posted November 6, 2017 We keep seeing - Benjamin will play. But we have to pass for him to do us any good,
row_33 Posted November 6, 2017 Posted November 6, 2017 The only people who are bothered by Buffalo weather are the fans who didn't dress for it. And it hasn't really been a factor since the late 1970s.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted November 6, 2017 Posted November 6, 2017 Weather was supposed to be a factor in a number of games the past few years. Most were lost by Buffalo

I'd say the Bills were three times the team that day, Bo Jackson not there was the biggest factor. The AFC was a TOTAL JOKE, again a TOTAL JOKE, outside the Bills for those 4 seasons, doubt the runner-up would have made the playoffs in the NFC those Super Bowl years.

Miami was tough and the weather played a big difference when they came here in the cold months.

Bills had a total cakewalk to the SB those 4 years, the only game with fear was the Denver one with the INT sealing it off, nothing else was even remotely a challenge.
