I'll keep this short and will elaborate after work, but they're 3 point favs and if it wasn't for Russell Wilson pulling off a circus act,they win that game. Seattle is MUCH better than NE ,talent wise. They have a coach whose seat is an oven and I'm sure in his mind this is a must win,and I see them bringing everything they got. So I don't know why everyone is expecting us to beat em up? Kind of curious as to why they feel that way..

Edit: Just to add my 2 cents. Its scares me what the did to Lynch and the Seattle running attack. Especially with Spiller looking off last week. They finished last year 5-1 I believe,if we cannot get the running game going it could get ugly for us on offense. They are also facing a lot of criticism for their offensive play calling ,maybe they go into their bag,so we might see a lot of gadget plays,designed Newton runs and way more deep balls to get some confidence and rhythm. I'm still excited and expect to win but its going to be a tough game, I can see us in a crucial position late and hopefully we learn how to close games even though we got a young team

*I understand every week presents a different challenge,I made this because I see an overload of posters blindly bashing Carolina by their reputation in the media,you'd think we were 10 point favorites the way some people are talking

 

 

 

First off, Carolina played a HOME game, they weren't on the road in Seattle. That, in and of itself, is significant because historically West Coast teams play like utter crap when they travel to the East Coast for a 1:00pm game. The overwhelming percentage of time they lose.

Second, Dwan Edwards is one of their starting DT's. I find it difficult to believe that he's suddenly turned into Warren Sapp.

Third, their offensive line is a complete and utter dumpster fire.

Fourth, their LB's are good but I'm not sure they can match Buffalo's speed.

Fifth, Beason has a knee injury and is limited in practice.

Sixth, their D-line is NO WHERE near as good as New England'ss. They have no one comparable to Wilfork.

This game will be no tougher than last weeks and we're play a QB that isn't anywhere near as good as Brady. I fully expect Pettine will have Cam Newton talking to himself by halftime.

I don't see the Bills winning Sunday. I just don't. Depleted secondary, struggling rush offense, rookie QB, shaky play calling and a very young team. I think for as we'll as the Bills played Sunday against the Pats, I think you see a pretty big let down from a young Bills team.

Not only will they win, they will dominate. Carolina is coming off a demoralizing loss at home against the Seahawks in a game they were winning. Now you might say the Bills just had the same thing happen, but there are a couple differences. One, Bills get to stay at home and redeem themselves in front of their fans. Carolina has to travel. Second, Bills are used to losing games like that, it won't faze them now. Plus the Bills are a young team, they're still hungry for that first victory under the new regime.

Can Newton has not looked good, in preseason or last week. The offensive scheme makes no sense. Manuel should outplay him. Carolina does have a very good front seven, but ours is also very good. Cam Newton will be scared on every play. Carolina also has a poor secondary. 

Plus the Bills shook off all their nerves last week and hanged tough with their rival. They are ready to go out there and dominate this game. I predict a Bills win by at least a TD.

in all honesty though I've gotten the same impression from Bills fans about how down they are and feel terrible for them.

 

 

There should be a minimum winning season over a certain year span requirement that owners have to meet or be kicked out from ownership. would keep a lot of these guys more dedicated.

I saw one Bills fan say they've only beat NE twice in 15 years? That can't be right?

 

 

Edit: Found it.

 

 

 

Bingo. In the NFL every team is going to have talent. For Buffalo NE has always been a tough game to win. We've beat them like twice in the last 15 years I think. Pitiful. Carolina is probably a solid team. But lets not forget that the Bills are pretty decent too. It should be a good game. 3 point spread isn't too bad. It should be a good game.

Somebody should really link them Edwards stats from last year if they think he's some scrub....

 

My biggest concerns.

 

1. Who covers Stevie Johnson

2. Can our OL handle their Defensive front. 

3. Can our running game maintain a respectable YPC average like last week.

4. Will we take the shots deep that we didn't last week.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
