Trubisky playing time against the Jaguars

[Olliemets]

Bit of a jinx even asking this as I can see a letdown and close game. But assuming we take care of business, Get Josh out as early as possible. I voted 4Q but would be happy to start 2nd Half with backups. Think McD will have them ready to play.

 

But any given Sunday.......

[No_Matter_What]

Its an NFL game. Starting QB plays until there is no chance to lose the game. Which as history teaches us may be until end of the game even against inferior opponent like Jags.

I do think the Bills win big here but the Jets game has me nervous. I think the Bills are going to have a fight on their hands to get out of MetLife with a win.

Possibly....Honestly the Pats may end up being that kinda of game more so than Jets. They're actually playing quite a bit better than I expected so far. Either way though, Division games are usually more unpredictable anyway so as long as Bills come away with the win is all that matters.

I say let's stay humble even after that.

Depends on the score. I would venture to say it will be close to the end of the game if he gets in at all. It’s pretty rare that the backup QB gets in before that in the nfl.

We will play down to them. Close game. Never a dull moment with these Bills. 

I assume this is a joke? Otherwise, you were apparently asleep for weeks 2-5.

Well, now that we know we are going to lose to the Jags, what’s everyone else doing this Sunday?

Yeah the Pats could be a problem.  As for the Jets, i have to assume the Bengal game was a fluke,  watched the highlight of the game and have a hard to seeing how Michael White threw for over 400 yards.

Don’t care in the slightest if he plays at all, if he does play, it will be likely at some point after the two minute warning, a series of kneel downs, maybe a run play thrown in to eat some time up, now I could be wrong and they let him actually play QB for a couple of series, but that to me is unlikely,

 

Go Bills!!!

The Jets DL is pretty good and they are physical. Our OL is below average. If they put pressure on Allen then I could see the Bills having a tough time scoring. They will score but it won't be easy. Last year at MetLife the Bills were kept out of the end zone as they got 6 FG's in a 18-10 win. The Bills D should dominate against the Jets offense no matter who the QB is. I could see a relative low scoring game 20-17, 23-20 or something like that.

Yeah he had a very good game. I was more surprised Bengals D played that bad than with White. I doubt we will see that kind of game again from him, but anything is possible

And second half of last year's regular season as well...

[Dopey]

Didn't we have this vibe for the Miami game? Well, not me. Settle down folks. Let's work on getting better. I'm looking for a solid team win. If I don't see Mitch at all, I'm fine with it.

This is the kind of post that can bite you in the a$$.  Beware of Manningcast Curse....

Yea this needs to stop. Assuming this team is going to coast every week is ridiculous.

Yep. You nailed it. I only sleep when the Bills lose. Jacksonville doesn't want to win. Urban Meyer wants to grind, but on young women, not coaching. But seriously 

 

I don't want to be the old man yelling at the whippersnappers driving 26 mph through the neighborhood, but I have to remind everyone that everyone in the NFL was the best in their town, state, and college. The Dolphins showed that even a team with an abysmal record wants to win. Flores pulled every trick he had out on Sunday. They did the opposite of their tendencies, then mixed up coverages/blitzes and confused our offense. For the first half, it worked. Miami was a shanked kick and a terrible snap away from a 10 point lead going into the half. That is why I consider Sunday to be one of the better wins on the year. Our coaches diagnosed what went wrong in the first half, and constantly adjusted to pull out a win against a division rival who knows our strengths/weaknesses better than most. 

 

It's been so great to finally have a team that you can count on to be competitive for a change after such a long drought. But expectations are bordering ridiculous. We need to remember that being the top dog means that everyone is gunning for you, and you're going to get their best shot. So expecting a blowout is a bridge too far. Hoping for one isn't. And I'm hoping along with you.

[Einstein's Dog]

Even with a big lead I don't envision seeing Trubisky until after the 7 minute mark in the 4th. 

 

The Bills need to fine tune the offense. 

Plus Josh is in the running for MVP and you have to let the guy build his case with some stellar stats (according to the one odds site I saw Josh was in the lead).

Ever since the win in KC.......which looks less impressive in hindsight.........there are scores of posters predicting easy blowout wins over the Titans and Dolphins.    Then the team only played well enough to "hope" to win in those games.  Close enough that a couple plays decided both.   They haven't been sharp........and yet the same numbskulls keep assuming the next game will be over after the opening drive.

 

Kinda' shows how uneducated the two decades of being out of SB contention has made fans about what it's like being a front running team.   As totally inferior as the Bills organization was to the Patriots during the drought(and the first 6 NE games under McD), there were still games where the Pats didn't annihilate the Bills every time they played.......it only felt like that and it only seemed like the Patriots won by 3 TD's against everyone else each week.    In reality it's very difficult for any team to perform at their best 14-17 times over the course of a season.

 

I just want to see the Bills come out and play a great, focused game this weekend..........if they do that.....which isn't guaranteed......the rest will take care of itself.
