Don Otreply Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 Instead, we could take 4or5 personal fouls for ruffing the Brady in the first 4or5 snaps of each quarter. Much better idea imo. 1

I'd be in favor of going 1 and 1 vs the Pats this season, how about you? 4) By forfeiting this week, we get ) yds passing allowed and 0 yds rushing allowed averaged into our defensive ranking...that would put us at #2 or #3...I'll take that... 5) Fans can still show up to the game on Sunday, tailgate, go in the stadium and watch the Pats warm up, but it will be a relaxing environment...no stress. We're 3-1. Just spit ballin' here but it makes sense to me to preserve our defensive ranking, our winning record and get healthier for our next four games. Expand Yes we should because we will just have quarters that we dont play as well as others and Allen may throw a bad Int to go with his 2 TDs.?

billsfan_34 Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 Wow! Forfeit? Makes sense comin’ from a guy that wants Ferguson back- ?

If you played at any organized level you might even know that. I think the Bills match up very well and bring superior raw talent to the game.
