The Jets have 2 of the fastest RBs in the whole league and we are starting a 3rd round rookie at MLB

 

It’s a scary thought. Bernard can’t make one wrong step 

One of whom is coming off an ACL.  Funny how that’s ignored.  And we no longer by and large have MLBs in the league like Butkus or Lewis that clog the middle.  The trend is more mobile LBs for pass defense, and D lines clogging things up in the run game.  Funny how that’s ignored.

Are we going to do a game day thread or just use this one?

I'm not scared at all. It's highly unlikely we look worse than Cinci, and reasonably unlikely we look worse than KC, and those teams will be fine. They set the week 1 bar low. The Bills will clear it with ease.

Anyone concerned about the condition of the turf after games on back to back nights? I don't know a lot about monofilament turf and the maintenance required. Do they have to deploy more rubber balls? Looks like rain in the forecast, could make the field pretty slick

Gosh some of you guys must think critical thinking means terrifying yourselves by only considering worst case scenarios. Jeesh.

News flash, Some of the things the Bills do will go right!

Maybe the public is pounding the Bills. 

I always cheer for the Bills regardless of my bets. I always want them to win. Losing a little money for a Bills win is worth it to me. 

 

I never bet so much that I cheer for the other team. 

 

Sure thing dude. You certainly put your money where your mouth is, no one can deny that. Welcome to the Jets fanbase

You'd hope NFL cares enough to deal with that properly

Apparently MetLife had crappy turf and the NFL made them switch to this nicer turf. They should have made them switch to grass, but then they couldn't do back to back games like this.

 

So they care only enough to not get any bad press about it. The $ still rules all.

No Damar tonight 

 

I know it's not a popular opinion, I just never thought Damar was very good in coverage (well before the injury).  Maybe it was the old scheme, i don't know.

Poyer, Hyde, Rapp....Lewis?

Looking forward to seeing McDermott get aggressive tonight with the Defense.  SO tired of Leslie using that Tampa-2 scheme.  I want to see the DB's play up and be aggressive against the pass like i saw in several NFL games yesterday.  You can't just sit back and watch guys catch the ball in front of you all night.  That will just allow for chunk plays down the field.

announced that Cam Lewis will be active, Damar Hamlin to be a healthy scratch - per WGR

And especially not versus divisional rival.  And Bills still have the target on them from our afce rivals.  You don't win a division if you can't beat those in your division.

 

 

Kinda interesting to see the Bills game and how the divisional foe moxie plays out.  Because prime time MNF stars on Jets gonna s shine and we will see how well our offense shines.  Even Sauce can be blinded by a shining offense. 

 

 

It would be a real nice surprise if Carl Cheffers and his crew actually call Sauce for holding and PI.  Because he gets away with it waaaayyy too much

Makes sense.  Still have two depth Safeties and for all the hand wringing over Elam, I’d rather have all options available at CB depending on how we need to attack their offense … and all 3 corners opposite Tre are very different styles of DB.

Agree. I'm interested to see if the Jets try to bully the softer Bills in the trenches. Smash mouth football sort of speak. 

 

Additionally, that Jet secondary might be one of the best in the league. Diggs might be taken out of the game and what WR for Buffalo is reliable? 

Davis

Oh boy.. here we go. They wanna do this discreetly

Good.  I think Cam is around the ball when he's in there.

yet the ball somehow magically always evades him.....see Vikings game

Davis ain’t reliable. In fact he’s the opposite of reliable.

He's made some big catches in big games. You paid the qb. The receiving corps is stacked. The running game is unreliable so far

[Warriorspikes51]

Allen looking really good and putting up a strong stat line in primetime against a top flight defense would go a long way toward MVP conversation

Spencer brown is still our RT right? Von is still out right? We added Floyd to our DL but is he going to make all the difference? Otherwise we’re banking on Epenesa to make a few impact plays? Come on. I love the Bills but can we be realistic? Until Von comes back, our pass rush is going to be a problem for us. I like Torrence and I’m hoping McGovern is better than Saffold (how could he not?) but Josh is going to need to be Superman again tonight. 

If I get banned for stating my concerns then so be it. I call it like I see it. I called the 49ers to win the SB months ago and yesterday did nothing to change my mind. I think we struggle to get to 10 wins this year based off how tough the schedule is and how much better the division is. It’s ok to say that. 

Floyd.  And more depth at DT.  And McD calling the D.  And healthy veteran safeties. But we’ve done nothing different on D.

 

You acknowledge we’ve improved the interior of the O line which should help control Q. Williams, but then say Josh will still need to run for his life.  Oh, and Brown is heathy too now.
 

Whatever.  Wallow in misery if you want.
