Chandler#81 Posted Sunday at 03:24 AM Share Posted Sunday at 03:24 AM I’m a little nervous about this game. Mostly because I don’t follow them, we rarely play them and it takes a full day to travel there. Then, it’s always raining there. It’s one of the few places left in the Country I haven’t visited -and I’m in no hurry.. Biggest news going into the game is we’ll be without TB! DAMMIT! I’ve voiced my displeasure with McDermott seeming so nonchalant about injuries on the team, then sitting players who could go. It makes me pine for the days of Rex Ryan. He always started off every presser with a full injury update. There was no ‘I dunno, I haven’t talked to anybody’ crap Sean feeds us, only to shock us with late week devastating news of who’s out! 🤬 It’s so maddening but that’s just something we have to live with.. For a guy who seemingly never strays far from the ‘Hot Seat’ despite his most impressive record, changing this up would go a long way towards improving fan appreciation, imo. What do we know about the Seahawks? Their record is 4-3 so they believe in themselves, though a tad dyslexic. Started off with 3 big wins, then dropped 3 straight badly only to turn around, travel to Atlanta and smoke the Falcons 😳. They have a great pair of DEs -actually 4!, very strong running game and a fine Secondary, especially at Nickle back. QB Geno Smith has finally learned how to play the position. He rarely throws deep but has become very good at short-midrange throws and his receivers are big time RAC guys! They have an excellent run game and very good against it, where we’re .um.. not great against the run. But they can be run on too! I think we HAVE to start better than we have on both sides of the ball, as Seattle is an unusually loud environment where they rarely let teams come back from early deficits. Metcalf is likely out and he’s far and away their biggest offensive threat. But Lockett, Noah Fant & Njigba are very good players as well. For us, we have the far better QB, far better OL and better/more experienced coaching. Plus, we’re well schooled playing against Leslie Frazier’s defense, their new DC. Additionally, we’re unaware of what Joe Brady & company have cooked up with a full week to play with new toy Amari Cooper, but early results are very promising with Shakir, AFCRotW Coleman and the TE’s feasting on single coverage last Sunday. I look for more receptions from our RBs as well. Bernard’s loss is painful and will likely show with Dorian Williams in his spot. If either team can afford a loss though, it’s us, given the traffic jam in the NFCW. But it would definitely hurt and make for a long, miserable flight home! I’m hoping for an uncomfortable Win today, meaning I won’t get much sleep before working the graveyard shift tonight.. Let’s DO THIS! GO BILLS!

sven233 Posted Sunday at 04:42 AM Share Posted Sunday at 04:42 AM I haven't really been able to settle into this game for some reason. It's easy to say that since Metcalf isn't playing, we should probably be able to win this game comfortably. That said, Bernard is not playing and bad things usually happen to our defense when he doesn't play. I have a bad feeling that Walker and even Charbonnet are going to eat this defense alive in the run game. If they control the LOS like I think they might, those guys can absolutely put up huge numbers against this defense without Bernard. As always, I see screens being a huge problem for us. All that said, I think Kincaid has a chance to have his best game of the season to this point and with a full week in the offense, I think Cooper can contribute again. I actually don't expect him to have a huge game, though, but I do think he will open up the field for guys like Shakir and Kincaid to make plays. Can Coleman build on last week? Hopefully, but I still see him as being a very up and down, inconsistent, producer this season. But, hopefully he can make some big plays and contribute. I think this is a game where Cook could be pretty important. I would like to think this is the kind of game he can get 100+ total yards, but we haven't been utilizing him in the passing game as of late. I think he will have some opportunities as an check down/outlet in this game, though, if Allen wants to use him. But in the end, I still am back and forth on this game. I can find a path to a variety of different outcomes ranging for a close win, a blowout win, or another one of those games we end up losing that will leave us all wondering how they lost. I don't know why I can't get a feel for this one. Maybe because it's against a team we don't see very often or maybe it's because of the cross-country travel. But I think it is mainly because until I see this team actually stop the run, I just won't believe they can do it, especially against their 2 headed monster. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special K Posted Sunday at 04:51 AM Share Posted Sunday at 04:51 AM (edited) I think the Bills O will need to put up at least 30 to win this game....luckily, Josh and the Offense have been doing that on a pretty regular basis this season. I think the Bills coaches have been emphasizing getting off to a fast start in this one, as the first half has not been their strong suit this year. Bills will get off to a fast start in this one, and never look back....31-21 Bills. Go Bills!!!!!!

NickelCity Posted Sunday at 05:04 AM Share Posted Sunday at 05:04 AM (edited) Their DLine and simulated pressures are what our OLine can struggle with, and their corners got healthy. We're going to need to establish the run early and stick with it imo. Time of possession is something to watch. On the other side of the ball we're a different defense without Bernard. Feels like the yards will be there for the Seahawks, and we're going to have to tighten up in the red zone. Go Bills! Excited to go to the game.

Ray Stonada Posted Sunday at 10:05 AM Share Posted Sunday at 10:05 AM Amari Cooper ran 12 routes last week. On those 12 plays the Bills completed 10-of-11 passes for 117 yards and two touchdowns. That’s what’s up 7 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
