Week 9: Seahawks at Bills

[Orlando Buffalo]

This is the game that I think will tell us more about this team then any other game this year. Seattle might roll us, which would be telling, or we might fight and have a chance to win, but either way I think we learn a lot this week.

I was at the draft in the stands in Nashville. When we were on the clock, the NFL Network feed zooms in on me and I’m screaming DK, DK, DK. Had to act like I was excited when they said Ford. Quickly went from yelling to a fake, alright, that’s awesome, everything we do is awesome, clap. Wish that one would have come true.

I wish they could flex Monday night games.  Next week's is Pats @ Jets.  This would be a great one to put in place of it.

Please no. Love my 1PM games. And the Bills play like poop in prime time.

Next Sunday the weather is projected to be mid 60s and sunny.  Optimum weather for passing offenses.  Bills will be challenged to keep up with the Seattle offense.

I assume you are young because of your tendency to have such shortsighted takes, we in the 90s won against overmatched division teams by a few when we much better. When you know your opponent so well it causes close games often. Today's game was a big win from a mental stand point, next week we need to be better.

I mean I agree todays win was important but bills fans said the same thing last week.

So division wins aren't important, or am I that lost on what you are saying?

I’m envious of everyone being so confident by saying this will/should be a shoot out because Seattle has a bad defense. What makes you think they won’t come out zone defensing us to death like the past 4 opponents? Yes, we are 2-2 in those games, but I’m not sure I’ve seen a team struggle against zone defense quite like we have in those 4 weeks. It’s like we have no answers for it. Wild. Completely put the clamps on the passing game.

we have no answers for it bc we have a mediocre coaching staff. 

 

Once Allen gets a proper offensive minded HC that can work with him is when he will reach his true potential.  

[TonyBeets]

If we can score about 49 points or so we win.

[ColoradoBills]

A couple of long clock eating scoring drives in the 1st half could go a long way in keeping the Bills in this game.

per Mike Clay:
 

The Seahawks' offense has scored 4+ TDs in every game this season. Russ has thrown at least 3 in all but one game.

 

 

yikes for this weeks game 

 

And they've given up almost 30 a game.   Relax bro, this isnt the Hawks team you remember.

 

Bills 26

Seattle 23

 

Itsa lock.

Should be a fun game! Looks like the weather (I know far away)  might be quite nice. I would love to see our passing game get back on track in this one.

These 'struggles' are really correctable mistakes on the opponents side of the field...people are looking at josh Allen's stats and using that as the sole determing factor of the offense struggling it seems like...we've punted three times in 8 quarters...moving the ball has not been an issue.   That drop by Davis and miscommunication on the diggs option route couldve easily been 14 points and were not even having these conversations about the offense

I’m not sure we’re getting a new HC anytime soon, but I am definitely concerned about our lack of creativity and answers for zone defense. I mean, come on, other offenses across the league don’t completely fizzle out or short circuit just because a team plays zone. They adjust. It’s been a month, and it’s like the coaches are completely baffled by it. The key to the rest of the season is to get Josh back on track. He did enough today, but 154 yards and no TD passes isn’t going to get it done most weeks.

Yes, I agree. It’s on the players too. We move the ball and fail to punch it in. Execution is obviously key. That drop by Gabriel Davis cannot happen. Could’ve cost us the game. 

[BillsfaninSB]

I have a weird feeling they are going to break-out the all red uniforms.  No evidence.  Will be bummed if that happens. 

[QLBillsFan]

Agree with all should be fun to watch. I’m not sure that we all realize the pressure on the entire franchise to beat the Pats today. The stress should be off and we should play with confidence having less pressure.

 

They have issues on D if we can balance with run and pass we should be in it and have a chance. Wilson is great and Metcalf is unreal. 61 decisions were made in the NFL not to choose him. Including us hoody etc.. They are constantly involved in shoot outs and that can make you vulnerable. I certainly will be less miserable this week ! High scoring toss up and likely 3-4 pt spread not the ridiculousness of 8 pt spread per HS. Not funny anymore go admire your Tua poster and call it a day!
