atlbillsfan1975 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I have watched about 12 quarters of the Browns’ games spread out. They aren’t as bad as their record indicates. They will be a tough win. They could turn into a streaky team if they get a little momentum. I hope they aren’t another team who ‘gets right’ against the Bills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browns schedule the first seven games included Pats, Seahawks, Ravens, Rams and 49ers. Its going to change. The Bills are in trouble, like it or not they dont score points and the schedule is about to get harder. 10 and 6 with losses to Cleveland and Baltimore may not get you there this year. They're not losing to Cleveland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think Nick Chubb is exactly what they dont want to see this year, and his presence is going to setup a lot of play action to Landry and Beckham. Agree to disagree, I just dont see the Bills winning that one in Cleveland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's what I struggle to understand: Had the BILLS lost in the fashion Cleveland has this year, people would be calling Josh a total loss, the coaching staff to be drawn and quartered, and the offensive line garbage. Yet, Cleveland gets a pass around here. Strange. This is a team who got WHACKED at home by TENNESSEE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go down the list of great QBs if you must. Baker cannot control his emotions and he will fail because of it. OBJ isn't the problem. He wasn't the problem in NY. This is correct. As talented as he is... receivers don't make or break teams in the NFL.. Offensive lines and QB's do. I've never understood paying big money for receivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cleveland game could go either way, like most games. Not really leaning one way or the other. But not sure what this comment even means. The Bills have played one game so far vs a team that has a winning record. They played them closer then the Browns played that same team. They can only play the teams on their schedule. So no, they don’t, yet, but they haven’t played the Ravens or another winning team yet other than the Pats who also beat the Browns (and everyone). If you are only using “quality” wins vs “quantity” to determine future outcomes, do foresee the jets taking the league by storm as well? They only have 1 win but it was over Dallas (!)- the Bills haven’t played them yet either. The Browns should win more on the backside of the schedule - they play cincy twice, and Miami so that’s at least 3 wins - than the front side but they currently resemble nothing of the playoff team that was expected.

The comment about the Ravens game was in response to another poster's comment about the Browns losing to the Titans. Every game in the NFL is an entity until itself. The Browns may match up against the Ravens better than the Bills, and the Bills may match up against the Patriots better than the Browns. My original point was, I dont think the Bills match up against the Browns well. I also believe the Browns will go on a tear down the backstretch, as you mention here their schedule is very easy. I think that starts with the Bills, because as much as I love the organization, I don't think the Bills are a very good team. Bottom line is I don't think the Bills will score enough points to keep up with the Browns, Cowboys, Patriots, or Ravens, which will leave them at 9-6 going into the last week of the season against the Jets for a win and in game. Which is only a win and in, if two teams in the mix drop off the map. Unless the Bills start scoring points they are going to have a hard fight to get into the playoffs at 10-6, because I think teams like the Texans, Colts, Browns, and Ravens will all be around that 10-6 mark. So you have what amounts to five teams fighting for four spots, two division winners, and two wildcards in this scenario. Because the Browns are currently 2-5, and there is this huge media narrative about them imploding people seem to think it should be a game we mark as a win. I just dont see it that way. 2 minutes ago, Joe in Winslow said: I've only said it about 1000 times. There are no style points in the NFL. A win by 1 is the same as a win by 40.

And while there may be no style points, I would have a lot more confidence in a team that didnt struggle to get to 21 points. The Bills have played 2 teams with winning records, and the Browns 5.

People ARE calling Josh a wash, for the coaching staff to be drawn and quartered, the offensive line garbage, the defense sucks, Edmunds isn't doing it, cut star, Phillips sucks and Star is a waste of time etc etc Dabol is clueless, can't make the proper adjustments and the Bills should never have to have 4th QTR winning drives How dare they have 4th QTR winning drives Edited October 31, 2019 by SlimShady'sGhost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just dont see it that way. Funny how the "media narrative" at the start of the season was how they were Superbowl contenders. Now you say those same media "experts" are predicting their implosion? They're really going out on a limb with that analysis. That's why I find "sports talk" and "experts" such fools. There is absolutely no credibility or accountability for the haphazard predictions they make every year. It's actually comical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do me a favor when the Bills have struggles down the backstretch don't come here once and complain. I truly hope the Bills play lights out for the rest of the season and blow every opponent out. However, if I thought that was going to happen I'd be miserable after every loss. I knew the Bills probably couldnt beat the Eagles going into last week because of the disparity of both the defensive and offensive lines. I watched the game and hoped I was wrong, but I wasnt. Ill send you an invite to the seminar when they lose to the Browns, Ravens, Cowboys, and Patriots. 2 minutes ago, BringBackFergy said: Funny how the "media narrative" at the start of the season was how they were Superbowl contenders.

Its because everything is based on week to week takes to try feed off of people's emotions. Its a long season, better to ride the wave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
