what new way? That teams can run on us...we kinda know that already

Technically after 1 week we’ve yet to face a bell cow back like Jacobs with this iteration of the defense. I think we can assume what may happen. Overall I’m concerned that a “bad” team with a great back could be enough to add to our misery.

They have some nice skill pieces, but I’m not worried about Jimmy G or that defense. I have a feeling the Bills are going to take their pain from week 1 and transfer it to the Raiders. If Allen follows up with a bad game then fans should definitely worry, but I have a really hard time believe he forgot how to play the QB position. Bills rout the Raiders 33-14 and Allen will have 300+ yards of total offense.

I think the days of this high powered offense and stomping people are over. I am happy just getting to the wild card and hoping they are healthy while playing their best football in January. There needs to be some serious youth injected into this team sooner than later. The whole offseason should be dedicated to RT, MLB and WR2 (from the draft).

Just an abysmal game Monday...but Preseason week 4.....NFL Week 1 some call it was horrible for lots of teams.....

 

There is no way we dont fire on all cylinders against the Raiders though right? Im expecting the offense to get a good 600 yards of offense this Sunday.

 

 

 

No.  I expect it to be closer than anyone here wants it to be.  People like to make it seem like opponents fear playing in Orchard Park, but they do find it a fun atmosphere and are always up for a great challenge.  How do i know this?  I've listened to opposing player interviews over 40 years.  I can see the Raiders playing a good, solid game but I expect the Bills to come up with a 3-5 point win.

Starting in the right direction for this weekend.  Get back to the basics.

 

I hope the all blues are done for the year.  

 

I love the white on blues.  Honestly though, I am not superstitious so I don't buy into uniform combos being bad luck.

Of course there is.  Maybe we will get lucky again this week and it will miss the game like last week.

I’m not superstitious either.  Simply the all blues look stupid and tired.  Like someone once said:

 

Look good, Feel good

Feel good, Play good

Play good, Pay good.

We need to get to this game quick and hopefully knock the stink of this team.

It’s pronounced ‘stank’. 😉

I wonder what the Patriots board was like when Brady threw 4 ints against a potentially upstart buffalo bills team in week 3 in 2011 

 

The buffalo bills are still a very good team, they might have played a defensive unit that's best in the league and for the most part would have been fine by just taking it slow and not forcing things

I am sure some of their fans soiled themselves , just like some of our fans have this week.

We were supposed to take our offseason pain from the Cincy game and put that on the Aaronless Jets.  How'd that work out.  At this point I don't know what team shows up.l

Hopefully it is the same team with the fighting spirit to tie the game in regulation despite playing without their best stuff , and not the overtime choker team.

I really can't bring myself to care about this game.  I expect to win, but won't be shocked if we lose.  Even if we win, it still won't answer solve any of the concerns I have about Josh and Dorsey because the Raiders aren't a team that would create the challenges those two can't seem to overcome.

 

I'm in a crap mental state and I'll own it.  I need Josh to prove he can take the easy stuff, and there aren't many teams that will make him do that.  Until those games happen, I just feel blah

 

Virgil, I love your honesty, even if I do sometimes feel you're the TBD version of Eeyore.

 

I'm not too far away from you myself, actually.  If we win, Great!  but I'm not sure the Raiders D presents the tough challenge which will tell if any improvements in Josh's mental approach have been successful, so I won't feel comfortable until that's tested.  Like you, I'll still have concerns. 

 

If we Lose, Gross.

I’d like to see Sherfield start and play more. Let’s see with the offense looks like with more of him and less of Davis. Doesn’t have to be permanent. Just want to see if it’s any better. I like the way he plays. Bring Davis in more rotational like we did early on when he was at his best.

12 personal Diggs Sherfield Knox Kincaid- I like a lot!
