TheZone78 Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 "Overrated" is not a term I'd use to describe our secondary; it's the strength of this D. With virtually no pass rush to speak of the Bills D is allowing a paltry 5.04 yards per pass attempt, which is 3rd best in the league. The Bills are also tied for 5th in the league in INTs, again with little to no pressure on the QB. Finally, opposing QBs have a QB rating of 63.8, which is good enough for 3rd best in the league. This D isn't playing very good football overall, but that's mostly do to our front seven not being able to stop the run. 473006[/snapback] Wow...they held Gus Frerotte in check. They also gave him 2 TD's and 220+ yards. When our secondary plays well against a QB talent in this league, I'll be open to your comments.

UteBills Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 tough game...both teams have a ton of issues but I would have to go with the J.E.T.S....jets jets jets.... to lose 20-10 Bills move to .500 ball
Nanker Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 The game will be on TV for about 3 1/2 hours although the playing time will be strictly limited to 60 minutes. It will start with a coin flip and end promptly after four 15 minutes quarters (barring overtime). Other than that, I'm out of the predicting business.
Dan Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 First of all.. love the pop gun offense. I'm definitely going to start using that. But this game, as almost always, comes down to stopping the run and establishing the run. I see Martin having a big game against us. I know he hasn't done much all season, but he hasn't played us yet has he. If that happens, its likely to be a long day. I'm hopeful we can squeek out another win however. I say despite all the running Curtis does, we get a few key turnovers and somehow manage to win the game. I also predict our first second half touchdown.
Realist Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 We haven't been able to stope the run since Houston, and its obvious now that Houston is horrendous this year. There is no way we are going to completely stop the run, the only way we win no matter who is QB is with turnovers. The defense must get some TO's because the offense isn't going to help much. That being said, the 12th man makes the difference: Bills 16 Jets 13
dundy249 Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Sorry to spoil the party Good Jets Defense Jets 13 Bills 6
Blue Chipper Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Buffalo 6 NY 4. Wait that was the Sabres and the Islanders last week. Lets go with Buffalo 3 NY 2. After an early safety on Holcomb the Bills hit the winning field goal as time expires. Seriously both of these teams have no offense and will not move the ball. Id be shocked if the combined score is greater the 20.

They blitz non-stop and generally don't get much pressure. That, of course, makes it even harder for the secondary. My biggest beef about the secondary this year is Milloy's tackling, which has been atrocious. Granted, the guy is playing with a cast on so he gets a flyer, but it still annoys me.
RuntheDamnBall Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 I hate predictions, but: Bills come from behind, 14-13. We need this one at home.
BuffOrange Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 For the record, I am 4-1 this year only missing the Atlanta game. I have no gut feel for the first time this year. Official prediction will be later in the week, but I am leaning toward the Bills.

I would love to see T Mcgee take one to the house. He deserves it.
Ramius Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 Bills 16, Jets 13 KH gets sacked at least 5 times (provided he plays the entire game)

BB2004 Posted October 15, 2005 Posted October 15, 2005 I don't see a similar game. Arguably, Miami planned for JP for the first 10 days or so and then got KH. Jets will plan for KH all the way. The only way we win is if we run well and get some turnovers. Don't expect a good day through the air. Hopefully the 12th man helps enough for us to pull out a win. 472993[/snapback] You think the Bears will win the week? I'm from Chicago myself.
BuffaloBorn1960 Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 So our pop-gun offense is going to explode on one of the best defenses in the NFL???? I can tell you now, that isn't going to happen. The Bills will be lucky to get past the Jets. The Jets may not be able to run, but they do have a good offensive line that will allow Testaverde to pick us apart through the air. I see the Jets doing a lot of screen passes to the backs and quick slants to the wide receivers. The Bills are going to have to play a lot better than they did last week because the Jets won't be giving us anything. The only way we win is if we play smart, rush the ball well and often (45 times) and stop the Jets on third down. Willis McGahee is the main key to getting a "w". If he has a big day we win, if he doesn't we lose. 473078[/snapback] And how do you like your crow served... raw or fried?
