Bills predictions

[NAS]

I think the Bills will be desperate to keep pace with the Patriots and Josh Allen is about to go off.  Their defense sucks so we do have a chance to run the ball and take a few shots downfield. I just have a bad feeling it will be a blowout though.

what say you?

They run the ball a lot, 30 times a game on average and Allen is averaging 240 yards a game. They are leaning heavily on the run game and play action passing. 

Their defense is really weak against the run and strong against the pass. 

Run the ball effectively and make it a low possession game with a low score to have a chance to win late.

Prediction? We likely lose. 
Maybe look okay doing it. 

It could be different with some turnovers coming to us.  
In general I don’t have the same faith in what we will get from Andy that I had in the week three games of the two previous years.  
I was very confident as to what we would see last year vs the Raiders and was validated. 
The patchwork OL worries me, in pass pro, with him being old and creaky and not exactly being ‘cat like’ in his escapability. And somewhat concerned about his arm strength. I mean in general, I think he could still be ‘as good once as he ever was’ which is a huge upgrade from Bryce.  
But it is still another year of aging and at some point it’s over… people say it is for him, I haven’t seen enough of him this season to say otherwise. 

Add the fact that they are generally a more seasoned and tested team than we are, players to staff. I am skeptical. But that is why they play the games, we don’t know for sure.

Damn I just realized they are coming off of a bye.  They had a ton of injuries going into it, I guess the wed report will be telling.

They struggled against the Falcons but before that they started out 4-0  and only lost to the Patriots by 3 points while we flat out got wiped off the field by that same team.

They're coming off a bye and looking for a get right game. Don't mistake this for a cakewalk.

The best thing going for us right now is it's a home game but if our offense has a repeat of wasting drives like they did last week against the 0-6 Jets it might be over quick.

[Jon Snow]

This will be a get right game for the Bills. It will be an ugly home loss by double digits.

[Kentucky Panther]

I would say with Bryce we have a slim chance but with Dalton it could get ugly.

I think we are surpisingly competitive in a "get right" game for them after struggling the previous two games against bad teams.

We just aren't able to be efficient enough on offense as Canales keeps denying Rico the bulk of the work and our passing game still can't take a big enough step forward.

I was gonna say the exact opposite. A gimped up Bryce is likelu to produce a near career worst game. With Dalton at least there is some hope of NFL caliber QB play.

Dalton will look much older, Dave will throw it too much and the D will get reality checked.

I think we're decently competitive in the first half leaning on our running game but they pull away in the second half leaning on Josh Allen. Our lack of pass rush is gonna be a problem when we face elite QBs.

[Khyber53]

We seem to play to the abilities of our opponent. Hopefully we can keep pace and eat the clock with a punishing run game and hope that our defense gets a couple of turnovers to give us a chance.

Here's hoping Andy Dalton finds the fountain of youth this week.

It's time to dust off the old rifle.

I think they will be able to exploit our ILBs, and will understand that. And will do it.
