JoPar_v2 Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 On 8/6/2019 at 12:53 PM, PlayoffsPlease said: In the NFL games can range from meaningless (late season game after the team has missed the playoffs, or has clinched home field advantage throughout) to immediately critical (playoffs or other win or go home games). The Bills are slight underdogs to the Jets. The teams have a couple of similarities particularly young unproven QBs. From setting a tempo for the season, I feel as though this game is a bit out sized in importance to the typical week 1 game. If Allen significantly outplays Darnold and the Bills win, (as I expect), I think Jets fans will be devastated. Do you think the Jets players will be similarly de-moralized. In the unlikely event the situation is reversed, Darnold outplays Allen and the Jets win, I think Bills fans will be pretty disappointed. Expand It’s around 1/16th in overall importance if u want to get mathematical.

Ramza86 Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 Their Dline vs our Oline? Season opener in NY....yeah I think we are going to get crushed. 1

But for those to even come into play the team’s overall 16-game record has to first be good enough to qualify. So yeah, it sounds clichéd, but it’s just one game.
BigDingus Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 Of course it's an important game. Every game is important until you're eliminated from playoff contention. And a division game on top of that? Even more important. But we've got Matt Barkley, Jets-Killer, in reserves. No need to fear, our victory is assured. 1
Ned Flanders Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 It's important. It's a division game. Why the question?

HOUSE Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 Bills fans are never disappointed, a highly optimistic group of fans 1

In fact the last meaningful game between both teams we were destroyed and embarrassed in the TNF game a few years ago at the Jets. Word on the street is that Darnold is looking like a STUD in jets camp and Gase is a much better coach than most realize. I'm starting to dread this game quite frankly. Expand What gives you such belief in Gase? Yes he coached Manning but most here could have done that job.
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted August 8, 2019 Posted August 8, 2019 No matter what anyone wants to think about the jets. That’s going to be a tough game. They are starting to do a lot of things right and it won’t be easy to beat them in their home opener. I live an hour away from MetLife and I hate the jets more then any team in the league. I’ll be there, I really hope I’m wrong and we slaughter them...I just think we might have our hands full.
njbuff Posted August 8, 2019 Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) Wouldn't it be ironic if Dawson Knox scored the first TD of the Bills season when he didn't score a TD in college. Well, he was never used in college. And, of course, if he plays. ? On 8/8/2019 at 1:27 AM, Brianmoorman4jesus said: No matter what anyone wants to think about the jets.

Expand I pointed out the Bills history of opening up a season against the Jets, and it isn't good. I don't take ANYTHING for granted. I believe the Bills are more talented than the Jets across the board, but it doesn't mean much with the Bills history of openers against the Jets. Edited August 8, 2019 by njbuff
