    Re: Early Analysis of the Buffalo Bills

    after watching our run defense or lack thereof there may be reason to worry.

    It's an anomaly not a trend. Besides they can't be stout every game.

    No NFL game is a gimme. Having said that -- I don't have the same level of anxiety with the Bills that I had with the 49ers. My only concern is that the Ravens don't take them to lightly or that after a great win that there is no let down. Champions don't do that and ,hopefully, the Ravens won't either.

    For starters, we're gonna have to be able to stop Singletary out on the edge.

    Definitely a big game for them. They want to show they belong and are legit. They looked impressive vs the Cowboys Thanksgiving day. Allen looks to have improved his game drastically from last year. Not sure if he has enough around him to put up 3+ scores. I think this game will be fairly close, like <6 pts close

    Don't the Cowboys control their destiny? If they win out, they're in. If they go 2-2 but take down the Eagles again, they're in.

    For the record, the Ravens would win a tie with only the Texans, but they would be 3rd in a tie with the Texans and Chiefs (Texans 2, Chiefs 3, Ravens 4). That's the disaster scenario (well, losing the division is probably the disaster scenario, but that's the disaster scenario given they win the division).

    I wouldn't be so sure. It's still going to be a road game and the weather may not be good again. If the weather's bad, all bets are off, I did NOT like the way our team looked in the weather yesterday, despite the win.

Out of the 9 teams they've beaten, only one team is above .500 and that's the 7-5 Titans which they beat way back in Week 5. They haven't beaten any serious contenders. Their most impressive recent win was against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving...but the Cowboys aren't good either. They're 6-6 and need help getting into the Playoffs.

    I still expect a tough game through the air though. The Bills are a poor man's 49ers. They play a similar style with a staunch defense and a game manager QB that doesn't put up a lot of points...but he's done enough to beat bad teams. The Bills have the #3 total defense and are #3 in Pass D and #15 in rushing. I expect the running attack to be effective again, but IDK how open our WRs and TE's will be. This looks like another Andrews/Boyle/Hurst type of game. Seeing as how we've beaten the 49ers and Patriots who also have Top 5 defenses...I don't see this being an issue.

    I see similarities between the Bills and Ravens too, but Lamar has had much bigger games than Josh Allen. Overall both pass offenses aren't that great, but Lamar leads the league with 25 TDs whereas Allen only has 16. That's a huge difference of almost 10 TDs. So while Lamar doesn't put up huge numbers through the air, he scores a LOT and that ultimately matters more than air yards. I think this will be another game where we score under 30 (unless the defense gets a TD), but I don't think we'll need more than 30 to win it because I don't see the Bills offense scoring like crazy on us. Not with John Brown lol.


    Speaking of Brown, this will be billed as a "revenge" game for him because he played with us last season.

    Josh Allen is also fast, and from Lamar's draft class. So look for them to run similar offensive plays. It'll be interesting to see if they run in the Pistol formation against us.

    QUESTION: Can the #1 and #2 seed come from the same division?
    no, the Wild Cards are 5 and 6 seeds

    I don't worry about being blown out. I do look at playing a 9-3 team with a Top 5 defense and Top 5 rushing attack in their stadium with some concern that we could be tripped up. A couple ill-timed turnovers might be all that is needed. This is a team that is playing well and they are coming off a mini-bye...and we just came off an emotional win. It can happen.

    P.S. The fact that our run D got exposed for the first time since Cleveland - while we were at full strength - is definitely a concern to me.

    Forecast is 45 degrees, cloudy, SSW winds 10-15mph. Balmy for Buffalo in December.

    Current forecast is mid 40s, light to moderate winds, partly cloudy and 20% chance of precipitation:

    In other words, typical Fall football weather.
