Steptide Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 I really thought we'd win the jets game, but thought it'd be a hard fought game all game. I still think the bills performance against the jets was a bit of a fluke. Having said that, I don't know what to think about the bills vs saints. Last time the saints played here (2009 I think?) the bills actually played them very well until the 4th quarter. That was a much worse bills team and a much better saints team (in my opinion). I have no idea how the saints will handle Buffalo weather and the crowd noise. I want more than anything to win but I can see the saints blowing us out by 25 points. Or the bills winning by 10. I seriously have no idea what to think about this game
SinceThe70s Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Saints have won 6 straight. Due for a loss. And we're just the guys to do it.
Buffalo Boy Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) Hopefully the weather , wind and field conditions will hold their O back. kinda feels like a loss though? Edited November 10, 2017 by Buffalo Boy
Steptide Posted November 10, 2017 Author Posted November 10, 2017 I definitely think in some way this is a statement game for the bills

I'm never confident either. I go into every game with zero expectations while still cheering and yelling at my tv

I just can't seem to make myself optimistic. But then I watch with my heart thumping and my nerves frayed. My wife doesn't understand. I'm not sure I do either.

This made me laugh because it's so true. I don't know why I get so worked up during games.
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Hard to win 7 games in a row, they are due for a loss.

Another Fan Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Even if they win this game convincingly the Charger game the next week scares me
SinceThe70s Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) Around 1994 or so, my company sent me to work down in the DC area for the better part of a year. Met and worked with a guy that was from N.O. and a huge Saints fan going back to the Archie days. I haven't seen him since but we've stayed in contact through email mostly in season and around the draft. His thoughts on Sunday: Saints D is for real. Our running game is impressive. Our passing game can be explosive. Brees is playing smart ball. Our special teams are scoring their own points. Your Bills are gonna kill us. If you can play their QB this week in fantasy you will get monster points. We are due for a collapse. Woe is us. I think I'll eat some worms. Edited November 10, 2017 by SinceThe70s
beerme1 Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Well here's what I think. Win and I'm all in. Lose and I AM BUFFALO! This is our statement game time. Do it.
NoSaint Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) Having seen pretty much every snap of both teams — i think both are overachieving their talent a little bit with their records. I do think the saints are the better team, but travel and weather miiiiight be enough for them to come out flat. This is probably the first post-bounty-pill-divorce-gate season that Sean Payton has felt like the Super Bowl coach again though... so i wouldn’t bet they are flat... hope they miss on the risks they take.

reddogblitz Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Saints haven't beaten a team with a winning record yet. I hope we're not the first. Not sure what to expect either. I hope we come out like we did vs Raiders. Hopefully Drew doest slice and dice our secondary. I'm hoping for a win.

Because it just doesn't happen very often anymore. The difference between the best teams in the league and the worst is rather small. So teams lose games unexpectedly. And since the Saints haven't lost in 6 weeks, they are due. Many are thinking the Bills have a decent shot at making the playoffs. Will they make it who knows, but are they really one of the 12 best teams in the league, or are they maybe the 20 best team in the league? But the difference between the 8th best and the 20th best isn't so huge, that with just a little luck they could be in there.
