Bills-Jets week 1

[folz]

Went over to NFL.com to check in on the KC/DET game, and one of the home page headlines read:

 

"Week 1 Picks: Jets a lock vs. Bills?!"

 

All 5 NFL "experts" on that site picked the Jets to win.

 

"Dan: Perhaps I'm a prisoner of the moment, trusting the Jets hype train to stay on the tracks when in reality I'm asleep at the wheel. But I do know the Bills couldn't score more than 20 points in either of their meetings with the Jets last season. I don't know if New York's defense will be as good as it was last season, but the offense is better -- and I can't say the same thing about Buffalo with nearly as much confidence."

 

 

 

I'm not saying the Jets can't win the game, but it is amazing to me how so much of the media has completely written Buffalo off as a declining team. I can understand not being the darling pick to go to the Super Bowl (like last year), but there are many that don't even have us making the playoffs. I mean, I love that the Bills have been able to have an off-the-radar off-season (I think that was really good for them), but how can the media actually think they have fallen so far off the cliff?

 

Can't wait for the lads to prove everyone wrong!

The Bills really need to take advantage and win this game with KC a game down now.

One of the moderators on the Jets forum guaranteed a win Monday, or else he would ban himself:

A bit premature for this imo. It's game 1 and they play in a far weaker division. A loss to the NFC Lions without 2 of their 3 best players on opening night doesn't seem that consequential

If they were going to lose a game, this was the one they wouldn't have seen it as a sporting disaster. 

[dollars 2 donuts]

Regular season since 2020: Chiefs 40-11, Bills 37-12.
 

That other team, not the Chiefs…a number of talking heads, as you all know, are predicting them to finish 4th in their division. 

Receipts, my TSW Peeps.  Receipts.

 

Go Bills!

In my opinion, this can be a statement game for the Bills.  With all the Jets hype, beating them in their stadium on MNF could be big.  It would show that the Bills still own the division and, depending on the score, maybe put some doubt in the minds of the Jets.

 

A Bills loss wouldn’t be as big of a deal for them, being 3-time division champions but would be a jolt for the Jets.

It's not hard to find bulletin board material this year.

The only thing I know for sure about this game and the entire season is that win or lose, this board is going to be an absolute SHT SHOW this year and I am HERE for it!

 

The BBFS, PTSD, ABCD, Chaka-khan, Chaka-Kahn is in FULL EFFECT!

 

I’m handing out free scripts for Valium and Prozac for everyone on this board because we are going to need it and it feels good anyway.

 

How can you not love this place? We’ve got it all. Guys with reasonable analysis, guys who don’t know jack, guys who can describe the texture of Mike McDaniels taint. We’ve got it all!

 

As Bart Scott says - CAN’T WAIT!

I think many feel that Buffalo has lost some ground because the Jets were lacking one thing and they now have it. Buffalo, in my opinion, is not as good on defense and the Jets weakness is probably the O line. Buffalo again in my opinion until proved otherwise is not that strong on the O line either. My hope is they're better than last year. Being objective and looking how they played last year I understand why many feel the Jets are the team to beat in our division.

The weather report scares me a bit. Wind and rain usually hurt the team with the better passing offense. 

[Royale with Cheese]

So far per weather underground:

 

The blue font is rain chance percentage, the second one is cloud cover.

Agreed but at the same time, this is where tight ends could be really be used.  We should have the advantage there.

Back when the Patriots were dominating the division any time a team made big moves in the off season to try and get to their level or got hot in the regular season to create some noise, they squashed it (I'm still scarred by the Sunday night beat down they gave the bills like 56-10)

 

A statement win for the bills will send the jets scrambling

Possible it hurts both teams, wind more than rain probably. 

 

Jets may be more of a passing team now too, or maybe more than they were last season anyway.

 

[DapperCam]

Would love to see Cook, Kincaid and Knox have big games. We already know we can pass down the field. Let's establish the short passing game (especially if the weather is lousy).
