NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION Week 1: Other Games

[sb1]

Bills are my SB pick. I don’t know if that defense will let that happen.

 

[PatsFan2]

I said this 2 weeks ago Buffalo will be in a shoot out each week with teams thier defense is

Twin: Josh Allen will be always be up for the challenge: I'm sick and tired of us being his whipping Byaaasch.

 

[Real fan 02]

WR Keon Coleman looks like a player: maybe we can sign him in FA: when that time comes.

He's coming on twin.. Buffalo will need to drop 35 each week in order to win.. thier defense is .

Twin: Josh Allen will be always be up for the challenge: I'm sick and tired of us being his whipping Byaaasch.

I know twin.. remember we had super bowl winning QB too and buffalo was our little brother for years... look how many QBs they went through to get to Allen.

This is no shade to Buffalo as Allen is a very likable guy. Thier defense will hold them back IMO. Allen is going to have to put up 30-35 each week for them to win.

Their D will be better.
Balt presents some very difficult and unique challenges with both Henry and Lamar running the ball.
That said, agree 100% the D is the weakest part of their team, and could be their Achilles heel.
People still argue that Josh isn’t clutch because he hasn’t made the SB, even tho most of the Bills playoff losses have been squarely on the D.

man i wish pats got henry couple years ago

He was not going to sign with a rebuilding botton of the league team.

 

[Triumph]

The NFL got just what they wanted last night - a shootout /high scoring game in primetime.

Fantasy Football is huge and lots of women play.

The officiating was horrendous. Allen had the 1st down by 1 yard, but was ruled 1 yard short. McDermott better wake up and challenge these mistakes. I am not positive that the Ravens player touched the endzone chalk on the Ravens kickoff that would have downed the ball at the goal line. Both replays looked close, but it was strange how fast TV moved on like it was the correct call. Harbaugh is another one who should have challenged IMO.

John Harbaugh is a weird coach. Good track record, always manages a competitive team, but he might be the worst at protecting a lead in the big lights.

The Bengals showed just how difficult it is to manage this kind of team with last year's season.

 

[jdlboot14]

Those looked like the 2 best teams in the league last night.
I don't know if Bills D is that bad, but everyone has picked BAL as one of the top most balanced and expolosive teams. Yet, Bills pulled out a clutch win like the old Patriots teams.
Bills are on a mission, and I think they'll be in the AFCCG for sure - and very likely vs. Ravens.

Exactly points Vin. It's nice to put up points and score.. but if you cannot stop the other team then it's hard to win in the postseason.

Yes definitely like each team as the season goes on defenses will adjust. Buffalo has a very small defense.. it's tough to differentiate thier LBs from thier safeties.. ed Oliver is probably thier best DL.. Milano is a good player but gets run over in the run game alot. Josh is a phenomenal player and he's played well enough for Buffalo to at least be in a superbowl.. as the NFL is a long season. I think Baltimore has the type of all around team that it takes to get to the superbowl. I have Buffalo and Baltimore in the AFCCG.

McDermott would rather challenge the 9/11 attackers instead....

Very true. Tradavious White coming back will help but their safeties are not good
Allen will have to carry that team on his back.
Without Allen they would not make the playoffs

The Bills played like the terrorists coming together

oh rite he wants a ring

This D will need to get a secondary issues hammered out. Correct, the defense as a whole did as much as we could expect them to, score-wise. Their current defense it set up to set a tone early and provide opportunities to take the lead. However, once we take a lead, teams will throw more often and we then need to play more against the pass, consistently. Constantly generating pressure for 60 minutes necessitates very solid depth, something even Vrabel has basically hinted at not existing with this team yet.

I think the secondary has raw talent and will improve, but they'll improve most consistently when Gonzo is back and can take care of the big assignments and let the other guys stick to their limits as of right now.

Yes, white is still serviceable. However you have to be able to stop teams. I'm very confident that as the season goes along our D will be even better and the offense will be score enough to win games.

Agreed. I thought as the game went on Hawkins and Woodson settled down and were solid. They will only improve as we go along. Really high on Woodson. I saw a mix of man and zone in coverage becuase Bowers is so phenomenal that he opens up an offense like Gronk and Hernandez did for us. Gonzo is the key here to maximize the defenses full potential. Landry is a stud up front.
