[Scott7975]

Schoop on wgr which I was only listening to because I was going to drs appointment…. 
 

“this is the toughest game the Bills have played since Super Bowl 28. The Eagles really intimidate me”

 

I don’t think so schoop. 
 

im more worried about KC defense honestly. They cover well and their pass rush is beast. Philly has los passes and rush push.

For sure, but you asked if we have any CBs and we do. the Jets beat them without Sauce.

 

Actually without their top 2 CBs.  Reid was also out that game.

This is a tough matchup for the Bills.  The season likely hinges on this game.  If they win, the season likely hinges on the following game.  And so on and so on. 

I think it's more KC game. Can't afford to lose many conference games 

[BigDingus]

First Thing's First had a good point about the Eagles a couple weeks ago.

 

The Eagles defense finds a way to make all opposing QBs look like Jalen Hurts statistically. They put up a diagram showing Hurts' stats, then showed the average stats for opposing QBs when playing Philly, and they looked almost identical.

 

The Bills offense SHOULD be able to produce against this group. As always, limiting turnovers will be the biggest factor. The Jets game broke a 6 week stretch & finally had a positive turnover margin. If they can continue that vs Philly, it'll be a good game.

So much remains unknown with that.

We don't know if Hyde, Rapp, Johnson, or Jackson will play.

Hyde and Johnson would be the biggest losses, of course, but missing any of them will hurt a bit.

Who is left for secondary?

Poyer, Benford, Damar, Siran, theUB practice squad CB, who else?

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

This would be a top 3 regular season McDermott era bills win. Not impossible but man we are going to have to be all the way on. No way we get a cheap one against these guys. And the Refs are going to be brutal down there.

"I'm not even sure crazier things have happened", GTFOH. That's one of the dumbest things I've ever read on this board in 15 years, and there's been heavy competition.

Douglas I feel will be fine and Hyde imo is the most likely to play (between those other 3 lost in Jets game) and Rapp I think you can go ahead and count him out.

 

So hope at least 1 of the 3 can play (prefer Johnson), it won't be so bad and still could be possible both he and Jackson can go.

The “Eagles so scary” crowd are simply going off their record and how they looked last year.

Well, I mean why shouldn't they? Wouldn't you if your team only lost 1 or 2 home games since last season lol

[njbuff]

The Bills are their own worst enemies in close games against ANYONE.

 

They change that Sunday in Philly and they will have a W. 

 

But until they change that, we will continue to be tremendously disappointed in this team. 

 

The time has come for the Bills to get out of their own way as they approach the murderer's row of their schedule.

Well, lots of people thought we didn't stand a chance against the Bengals and they were right. Eagles will be tough, but I think we're getting them at a good time. Coming off a big win against kc, could catch them sleeping a little bit

Having watched the Eagles Chiefs game last night, this seems like a game that if Josh is playing like he is capable, this is a very winnable game

 

I have family coming from Philly for thanksgiving and I know they are going to talk trash all week. Would love to have him shut up on Sunday night 

Get that "Humble Pie" ready for your family's dessert.

Nothing about this matchup makes me feel like the Bills have a chance. And I’m not even sure crazier things have happened.

Didn't stand a chance?  They lost by 6, come on now

[LABILLBACKER]

The Eagles are somewhat vulnerable yet they know what they're good at and they execute.  We absolutely have to get out and score early. Continue building confidence back into Josh.  Just like last week don't obsess with Diggs. Spread the ball all around and use Cook aggressively as a runner and receiver.  No more hail marys unless it's the last play.  Hopefully Murray, Johnson & Fournette get a few touches. No more predictability....use everyone.  

 

Defensively just keep battling.  Pressure Hurts and save enough in the tank for a 4th quarter stop.

Haha yea I don’t think he even believes that…we just saw the broncos murder the chiefs not too long ago and the jets beat the eagles

Those same people said cincy was an unstoppable machine that was gonna get hot like they do every year and roll to the afc championship and they were completely wrong lol we had a bad game against cincy but they were extremely beatable

That's extreme.  Philly is a great team, and they're also overrated.  Both things can be true.

 

The Bills - when they play their game - are on Philly's level.  We can compete w/ anyone.  And we're catching them at a perfect time.

 

I won't consider it some big upset if we get the W.

 

EDIT:  Schoop's comment is extreme - not your post.

This may sound wierd (conspiracy) but at 9-1 I think the refs will be less likely to give Philly favorable calls. With all the qbs going down,  the NFL wants as many big name (market) qbs going into the playoffs.  It wouldn't surprise me if we get a couple calls we don't normally get.  The Eagles can easily absorb an L.  We cant....who wouldn't want Mahomes,  Allen, Lamar & Lawrence as your AFC Final 4?  Just a gut feeling??

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

We seemed to play more 3 LB sets against the Jets. That was a beautiful sight to see. Our LBs are fast enough to cover and this helped against the run so much. Theres no need to constantly be in nickel. I hope this is the plan against the Eagles. I’ll take my chances with our guys on the outside but I do not want Philly to run it down our throats. If they can get us on skates with the run, we are dead. I’m cool with making hurts beat us through the air. I’ll take my chances.

I would be very surprised. I think we will get completely screwed the next 2 games with calls. Better be almost perfect because we are going to get no favors in either of these dumps

Hopefully, whatever way they decide to play D it will be by choice and not forced due to injuries. Unfortunately, I think it will be the latter.
