It's Early of Course but the Schedule Now Looks a Lot Easier

After taking a peak at upcoming games none of them look that difficult any longer.

 

Have you gone outside your mind?

This is why we can't have nice things.

Miami has scored 60 points and allowed 51, not good

 

Yep, the Bills [not "white Bills"--stupid phone! thanks @Buffalo03 for noticing] are currently third in the league in points differential. at +21. Only Dallas (+60) and San Francisco (+30) are higher.

Yeah. I respect the team and the coach but the only thing that makes me feel fear in football right now is giving mahomes the ball in his house 

 

We've beaten them the last two times in the regular season at KC, and should have beten them in the playoffs in 2021.

Who’s saying any NFL game is a gimme? I said Miami, with that highflying offense is a challenge and Washington on the road, will be a game we should win if we play like Sunday. Last year we lost the heatstroke game to Miami, the Jets, who we don’t matchup well with on the road and Minnesota in a shootout when Jefferson made a catch that rivals the most superhuman plays in NFL history. 3 losses out of 16. What’s your beef?

No beef at all. You are reading way too much into my post.

never say that.

comes down to coaching and scheme with miami, Mcdaniels, while yes, a punitive dorky looking nerdboy.... IS an offensive genius. Hope McClappy has something up his sleve ala Bill B... otherwise its gonna be a long sunday. Does Clappy have the stones to add a massive wrinkle to the defense?

Well not to be annoying but I’m just concerned about the next game. Some of these games look better or worse based on recency bias. Players health becomes a factor.  Maybe the Bengals and Pats improve by the time we play them 🤷🏻‍♂️.. who knows. Just really hard to get that far ahead.

Pats managed to slow down the Miami offense especially second half. They kept hill from the big plays he had week one. They just didn’t have enough offense. I like our chances 

Yeah but I'm order to do that they had to play soft coverage with 3 deep safeties and Mostert was able to run wild. I still can't forget that dude trampling us repeatedly in the snow last December

You’re not going to hold them to zero. Just gotta hold them to 28 and we score 29. Score with them and slow down their offense

No worries. Perhaps I could have been a bit clearer as well.

Washington will be a tough game. That stadium will be rocking. This is a prove it game for that team.

I’m not saying we are gonna lose to any team given our potential, but no team is a gimme. Sure, on paper, we should win these upcoming games, but history has taught us that’s just not the case. Every year we get these posts proclaiming easy wins and every year we lose games we had no business losing. And it’s funny how often it’s the same people who guaranteed wins against teams complain the most when we invariably lose a game.

 

It is their way of admitting they do not know much about football.

They can score, but that defense is a liability right now. NE wins that game last night if they could hold onto the ball

Eagles , Chiefs and Cowgirls...3 of the 4 team =s with better SB odds.  Consecutively.....

iron sharpens iron. this year i dont give 2 chits about the #1 seed. was hoping for as tough of a schedule as possible, and i hope upcoming teams are playing their best ball against us. we need to learn how to win in adversity versus tough teams. tough teams will help push us and sharpen us for the playoffs. obv if we take 1 seed cool, but mentally i wont be cheering for teams to have bad games against us or have key starters out. 

 

if this schedule is an absolute gauntlet, and every team we face plays their best game of the year, and we take even a wild card, ill like our chances. obv if all that happens and we smash the 1 seed, thatd be great too..... but i want the rookies/young guys to keep seeing the field, drawing tough matchups, and elevate their game. Bernard, Kink, S Brown, Torrence, Benford, etc etc

Wait? 2022? “Fear” is too strong word but concern is reasonable!

Maybe he was talking about other upcoming games, like NE, Denver, Cincinnati, the Jets, Chargers, etc…I tend to agree, and I also don’t think the Rivera-led Commanders pose a particularly difficult threat, but that’s hardly news.

 

Yea agree. Miami will be tough I think the Jags here in London with them having already been here a week and acclimatised will be very tough too... but we should beat Washington, the Dolphins game is at least at home.... and then that run of 5 games post Jags until we hit the Eagles sets up nicely for us. Although tbh I wish we played the Bengals a little sooner.... because if Burrow is healthy they are a different proposition.

It’s deep-seated.  Those of us who grew up watching the Bills in the 70s will never forget.

 

But this year it’s the media hype and their video game offense that has everyone all abuzz.  They’ve played the underachieving Chargers and pop-gun offense Pats*** and squeaked out two wins.  Their defense is anything but special, and I trust McD to scheme for that offense with the depth the Bills have in the secondary.

 

I agree with those who say the Fish are our biggest competition in the East…but I still think the Bills will clinch the division before the last game of the season in Miami.
