I’d rather see him turn things around, but I don’t think it’ll happen playing with this OL

 Does that stuff prevent wind burn also? Because the league has them playing the first 9 games on the road as part of their plot. 

[Evian]

You can't predict winds for a 3 hour window for 8 days from now. 

[Utah John]

An 8 day weather forecast is pretty unreliable.  Let's see how things look by, say, Thursday.

Look at the wind & gusts.....

 

Football gods must be hate the Bills.......😜

Expand  

Funny.

 

But here’s 2 things.

 

1) You have the most strong armed QB, this side of HOFer Rogers!

2) The same guy needs 2 TDs to be the # 3 ALL TIME Bill’s Rusher for TDs... after Thurman & OJ!

 

( Oh... forgot #3.

 

Doughball who doesn’t have a ***** clue about the first two!

Doomed.)

Meh. The Bills are the better team and should win the game. It will be a great playoff-type test.

Expand  

 

Let's not go down this road again...

 

We have to PROVE we're better. Having more talent at skill positions & a more dynamic QB doesn't mean as an entire unit we're a better team... That requires the entire unit to display superior team play, which we are very hit or miss.

 

There's zero doubt in my mind we can go in there & win, but they have to earn that reputation as the class of the AFCE again.

You're right. Let's blame the gods for building a light weight,  fast track predominant passing offense to thrive in the elements of Western NY or any other cold weather state. 😅

Expand  

 

Have you forgotten the K-Gun offense? Sure it wasn't as pass happy, but they played using turf shoes for crying out loud and were wildly successful.

I actually hope they get 60 mile an hour gusts again as long as our coaches aren't too stupid to figure it out we have the only quarterback that can play in that weather.

Yeah well you got a Thurman Thomas and Kenny Davis lying around anywhere? Cause that's what's needed if this team is to compete in inclement weather.

Just pointing out that a high flying offense can excel in inclement weather

Agreed. But what I was pointing out is this team as currently constructed with its weak undersized O line and lackluster RBs makes tough sledding in bad weather, especially against teams that can pound it on the ground and play solid D.

We learned our lesson.  I don’t care if it’s 50 mph winds and snow.  
 

Throw the ball.  Unleash Josh Allen.  
 

We drafted him to be the guy that can do that when teams we play have QB’s who can’t. 

Expand  

It would be so great to watch Josh throw the ball around and get a couple score lead and watch McCorkle Jones’ arm get exposed. 

[Awwufelloff]

The weather looks fine next Sunday, nothing like the first time we faced them. This is the forecast directly from the Boston national weather service. I called the bad weather for that last Patriots game 8 days before and posted it here. Right now it looks fine.

 

Sunday

 

Mostly sunny, with a high near 38. Northwest wind 9 to 13 mph.

WE SHOULD WIN UNDER THESE CONDITIONS, PERIOD.

 

We held them to a low point total and Josh was slinging it but we didn't score enough when we had the opportunities. Harris not playing and possibly Agholor and Harry is huge for us.

Expand  

How do you know Harris won’t play next week? Word is he could have gone yesterday but they wanted another week of rest because next Sunday is huge.  Harry and Avalon are definitely questionable as they both took head shots. 

[Process]

The weather in the first game ended up being a HUGE advantage for the Bills. An NFL team, in the year 2021, threw the ball 3 ****ing times. 

 

We lost because we gave the game away be repeatedly shooting ourselves in the foot. Let's just not do that again. 

[Da webster guy]

I can guarantee you from a lifetime of sailing/boating and hunting, forecasting wind a week out is virtually impossible with regard to speed/gusts.   

 

General wind direction maybe, temps within 10 degrees probably, but thats it.  The rest is meaningless guessing at this point.

Expand  

Or at least bring in an assistant OC with a Greg Roman type adaptive run approach and use him to install some down blocking or zone blocking concepts we can use to free up our runners.

Daboll does a lot of things well, but needs a boost in the balanced offense department before his Oline has a mutiny and kills him (or someone hurts Josh).
