If Josh Norman suits up for the Bills, Sean McDermott will lose all faith I've EVER had in him!! 

You mean that YOU will lose all faith in McDermott. He’s not losing any faith , just saying.

I'm really not ready to give up on Elam although clearly McDermott is.   He didn't have a bad rookie season.   How is it possible that he has regressed so much over the course of a year?   None of it makes any sense.

It happens . Some guys just never really get it. Some need a different system , change of scenery etc. Lots of talented players have turned out to be busts over the years. It’s not an uncommon story by any stretch. Time to move on: the guy doesn’t look good when he’s called upon to play.

How is anyone picking bills. This is a BAD matchup for bills. vita vea will play. they WILL bully our line - he will blow up morse. and their LBs are beasts. Gonna blitz and confuse josh. Their corners are good. I think in a lot of ways they are better than the jets. 

 

On D. woof. dont know what to tell you guys. they are going to drop fades / jump balls to evans. and godwin will eat for first downs. Benford and Dane are great positionally. But they get beat over the top a bunch and they simply cant make plays on the ball. Further. We are weak in the flats and underneath. and Baker is good enough to feel comfortable taking those easy passes.

If Sean McDermott tells Dorsey again to slow down his offense and milk the clock so McDermott's defense can rest🤗..Bills will lose another close game. But if Sean McDermott decides to just let Dorsey call plays for Allen to be elite, then Bills will blow the Tampa Bay Yuccaneers to kingdom come.

Probably because the TB offense is lame AF. Rachaad White is putting up nearly 3.0 ypc. Despite first ballot HOF forever Mike Evans (always been a fan), they've really got nothing.

 

To add, their defense is 27th against the run. Tampa Bay is nothing special. I get that the Giants and Patriots are also nothing special, but contrarians need to pull themselves back from riding Baker Mayfield into some gambling sunlight tomorrow. He's not very good and the Bucs aren't very good. There's a reason oracle Vegas has us heavily favored.

can’t really disagree much and not saying this will happen, especially on a short week, but this is the type of game the Bills blow other team out. Right about when they have played so bad they have a lot of doubters lol.

Short week at home…lot of important bucs probably playing banged up. Bucs are at a big disadvantage before you even get to the X’s and O’s.  Spread has actually gotten bigger in buffalo’s favor 
 

this feels like one of those games where people are gonna overthink it betting wise and end up being very wrong to me lol even with the offense gettin roughed up we have still been a little bit better execution on 1-2 plays away from winning all our games

I heard this song the past three weeks.   I still can't quite catch the tune.

No way does Josh Norman start.  This isn’t 2015

They showed the goalpost flags and they weren't moving.

A gust of wind approximately 10 to 20 yards in front of the goalpost flags wouldn't impact them.  It was a tough break.

Gonna be a beautiful tailgating night. I think the Bucs aren’t that good. Love the over and the Bills to win 31-14.

 

then we get a long break and it’s all peace and love. Thank God for the player meeting!!!

Clearly, they pay no attention to TBD. Fools!

[Nitro]

Tight game and Bills win in a close one. McD has become risk adverse since Jets game.  This offense is not built to be like this.  Of they lose, he will have a lot of heat on him.

[BuffaloBillyG]

 

No surprise on Baker or Godwin. But if by chance Vea is out...that would be HUGE for us.

Very logical argument. But Mayfield is better than Jones. The Pats also were not able to run well before last week. They also passed the ball rather well as well and they do not have a Mike Evans type anywhere on the team. That said I already said I believe the Bills win.. I think a close one but a win none the less. 

[Bills!Win!]

On paper you’d think the Bucs have the best LB unit in football. Why is their defense so bad then?

I remember thinking the Pats were using magnets in the ball to push it. Some type of force took that ball. I guess ill call it the wind in gilette.🤔. 

[NewEra]

The Bucs will win if they hold Diggs all game and aren’t penalized for it.

 

that’s the only way we lose this game imo

its not. they have some weaknesses but they also only give up 17 ppg on the season.

Their LBs are very overrated at this point. They are an old team.
