HudsonValleyBillsFan Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 Im trying not to drink the overly optimistic kool aid. But I just dont see the jets having much of a shot this week. I think the teams that will really worry me this year are ones with strong running games. Do the jets even have a running bacK? lol The jets had a grand total of 51 rushing yards against NE. If the first two games are any indication, the Bills will absolutely swallow up one-dimensional offenses. And I think McGahee will have an other big day. I hate to provide an early jinx for the Bills but I feel VERY good about their chances in the home opener.
Cugalabanza Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 Coach Juaron to team: Ok, men, we got an easy one this week, so let's not wear ourselves out out there. Let's take it easy and try to keep these uniforms nice and tidy, ok? Alright, gather around---one, two, three, PHONE IT IN! [sorry, I'm just trying, through sarcasm, to bust the jinx you brought]

I think we match up well with the Jets, and quite frankly, the Bills should be able to win this game. But still...
Phlegm Alley Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 In defense of the Jests, they were playing from behind and were forced to abandon the run early in an attempt to generate some points.

They should put points on the board. I do think the bills will win this game, but still cautiously optimistic. I hope Jauron does his job this week by not letting this win get to the rookies heads and they come out level with a good game plan.
HudsonValleyBillsFan Posted September 18, 2006 Author Posted September 18, 2006 I hear ya! I felt wierd making that post. But I'm just looking at this game at all angles and i dont see the jets winning. And i dont see jauron letting them take the jets lightly. But as Chris Berman would say .. 'that is why they play the games.' Coach Juaron to team: Ok, men, we got an easy one this week, so let's not wear ourselves out out there.

Bill in DC Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 Bills have to start scoring touchdowns instead of field goals. In closer games this is going to be crucial. Also I believe this will determine how well we do this season.
Beerball Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 To quote a TBD wise(ass)man...don't prod the bear.
wnyguy Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 If we can put pressure on Pennington with our front four like we did in Miami, I gotta say I like our chances.
Ralonzo Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 Jets scare me. Anyone who has seen their last two games will agree; this game is winnable, but that team is dangerous.
Alaska Darin Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 They certainly won't quit - unlike Miami.

Early weather forecast calls for windy, rainy conditions and a high of 61. Advantage: Buffalo
JStranger76 Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 Pennington is the kind of QB that can take advantage of our inexperience on D. We need to lay the smackdown on his noodle-armed ass. Giving Spikes the Dolphins game off to heal will hopefully have him ready for this one, although I think Ellison has surprised all of us. Go Bills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
plenzmd1 Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 Not to be a negative nelly, but lets not get to fired up yet. I posted several times during the offseason that with Fat Bennie and LJ Shelton on the left side, the Dolphins had serious issues on the line. I also said everyone for some reason was forgetting Culpepper has done jack without Randy Moss and scott Linehan, and as a matter of fact may have been the WORST qb in the league last year. Add meathead to the mix down there, and you have the recipe for an offence that will struggle, as it did yesterday. I think come end of season, we will not consider beating the Fish to be that big an accomplishmnet. Having said that, I think this game scares me a little, but all games do.I think the Bills win, but it will be tight right to the end
Buffal0 Bill5 Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 This thread is tinkering with the Bills' mojo in a very danerously jinxy manner.

Guess all i was saying is that the Fins may not be a very good team despite preseason predictions. And for that matter, don't think the Pats all that either!!!!!! Tellin ya, I think this game coming up gunna define our season. Loss to the JETS in our house makes the Miami win not so big.
Rubes Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 Bingo. 777821[/snapback] I thought you didn't believe in that stuff?
Alaska Darin Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 I thought you didn't believe in that stuff? 777873[/snapback] I'm not superstitious, but I believe that overconfidence from the fan base does affect how the team performs. Players start to read their own clippings...
