Last season KC beat NE in the opener. Point is, opening day is always a crapshoot. I won't be surprised by anything that happens. I also won't draw any conclusions to any results from week 1. First two weeks especially are incredibly difficult to read where a team is. As long as you are 1-1 everyone generally feels OK 0-2 is the death sign though.

That's a pretty big caveat. 2. There are going to be a lot of games where 14 points is going to look like a lot. 3. They still might win because Baltimore is awful but it will be one of those hideous 9-6 type things.

I have no idea why people think the game vs the Ravens is a shoe in. Because that’s the only game we all agreed ( until now ) that we could win ! You want to take that away from us you basterd ?? If ( God ? forbid ) we DONT get a WIN here I just might go invade Latvia or something for couple of months , cause looking at the schedule and yah week is a must win for us ?
frostbitmic Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 We'll beat the Ravens because they suck and we don't suck nearly as bad.

TigerJ Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 If Buffalo can execute well on offense, the lack of opportunity Baltimore faces is a serious obstacle to overcome. At the same time, Buffalo has three relatively inexperienced QBs and Baltimore will design some creative blitz packages to try and confuse them. The success or failure of the Bills in that game is likely to depend on how Buffalo's revamped offensive line and starting QB handle Baltimore's pressure. It's pretty much as simple as that.
corta765 Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 If this game was in Buffalo I would favor the Bills, but being in Baltimore I do think they have the advantage. That said if the Bills win it looks something like this: 17-13 type game. Buffalo has to get two touchdowns and the defense needs to force a turnover to help out will limiting the Ravens from getting inside the 40 so Tucker can't hit like you said because the dude is a Cyborg haha. The rest of the game needs to be ball control/field position type game. The last time we played Baltimore the killer play was the deep pass Flacco to Mike Wallace and they have a similar guy now with John Brown. If the Bills defense doesn't allow any big plays Buffalo should win IMO.

Actually, we haven't. We've seen Tyrod that did that hence the recency bias but we have had plenty of QBs who threw INTs and fumbled the ball a lot. We've also had tons of QBs who 3 and out the offense deep in our own territory repeatedly which puts the defense in a hole all game long. FWIW, if that's your goal for the offense coming into the year then it leads directly into #2 and #3 of what I said. We're going to struggle to score points, especially early in the season.

I'll gladly bet them with +6 points even with all the flukey opening weekends.
