Coach Tuesday Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 I have NO doubt. I was positive we'd lose in Oakland and at home against NE, and I'm equally positive we'll win in the Meadowlands this Sunday. Why? Matchups. We matchup very, very well against this Jet team IMO - for the simple reason that we will be able to run and stop the run. By taking away CuMar, we can force Chad into 3d and long situations where he is not nearly as adept or accurate as Brady - we will blitz the hell out of him and make him force throws into - our defenders' hands. We also have the speed at the WR position to take advantage of a BRUTAL secondary, and their special teams don't matchup well against ours, either. Plus, I genuinely believe this team is tired of losing, is tired of making mistakes and has a HUGE chip on its shoulder after losing a winnable game against A GREAT team. The Jets are also over-confident - they've played NO ONE and they have far less talent than they think. I know nothing from the last 3 games would lead any rational person to predict victory - but I'm not going on pure "faith" here - I really think the matchups and situation dictates a Buffalo victory.
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 Maybe if you guys would start guaranteeing that the opposition wins, a reverse psychology dealie will take place and the Bills may actually end up on top. CuMart is running as well as any back in the game right now. Pennington vs no Troy Vincent and Boy Wonder, err Coy Wire? Santana Moss is prolly overdue for a big game...... See how this guessing game stuff goes both ways?
Campy Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 Nice - I liked reading that. A win Sunday and again the following week against the 'Phins, we're 2-3 overall, 2-1 in the division, and in the thick of it.
30dive Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 I think you are right. My preseason picks had us losing to NE both times and losing to Oakland. I did think we would win the home opener, and should have save the last play of the game.
Coach Tuesday Posted October 4, 2004 Author Posted October 4, 2004 That's right 30dive - most people on this Board (myself included) had us at 1-2 right now. Well, we're TWO stupid miracle plays from that being the case (both on the last drive against Jacksonville). As Mularkey and George W say, "Stay the course." We will now be 1-3 (instead of the 2-2 most of us predicted).

Sing with me, sing for the years Sing for the laughter and sing for the tears Sing with me, if it’s just for today Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away
BuffOrange Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 We could control the clock for 35 minutes and rush for 200 yards and I'm not sure it would matter. As Ron Jaworski says, "points come out of the passing game". This is especially true when your offense is prone to drive-killing penalties/sacks/turnovers. They're just not realistically capable of an efficient 80 yard drive because they eventually shoot themselves in the foot. The offense is not capable of scoring more than 10 points, so all the Jets need is 2 TD's. It's hard to imagine a good QB like Pennington not getting that done at home with our non-existent pass-rush and depleted secondary.
soljc Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 I think Clements22 guaranteed a lock against the Pats.

But the Meadowlands has been a nightmare for the Bills for a few years running now I believe. I know we lost there 30-3 last Season, so I definitely do not share your optimism. Thought I do admire it... B)

Whose premonition is stronger?
PromoTheRobot Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 I have a guarenteed lock for you, my friend...everytime you say we are a lock to win, we lose. How's that? PTR
