With all the excitement around the Jets, they must show why they can topple the Buffalo Bills for the AFC East title. Buffalo has won the division for three consecutive years, but Moton has some concerns about the way its 2022 season came to an end in the playoffs. "To reiterate a point made on Boy Green Daily with Paul Esden Jr., the Bills trended in the wrong direction at the end of the 2022 campaign, which ended in a 27-10 AFC divisional-round loss to the Cincinnati Bengals," he said. "In two playoff games, Josh Allen threw for three touchdowns, three interceptions and completed less than 60 percent of his passes in both games. "Allen has MVP potential because of his big arm and willingness to run over defenders on the move outside the pocket, but he has a tendency to go through rough stretches and throw head-scratching interceptions. The Jets' stingy defense will capitalize on those mistakes. "In the Monday Night Football spotlight, Rodgers shines with his new team and immediately raises the standard with a three-touchdown-performance against a Bills defense without Von Miller and a big question mark at linebacker following the loss of Tremaine Edmunds in free agency."

Popular Post BigRy56 Posted September 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2023 The Bills will get the benefit of the doubt. So I’m not surprised although I think that pound for pound, the Jets are a better team.

UntouchableCrew Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Bills deserve the benefit of the doubt.... But 1) I think when fully healthy we're the better overall team. 2) I think we matchup particularly well against the Bills -- our defense gave Allena a tough time in both games last year and 3) I just think the "vibes" around the Jets seem awesome while the "vibes" around the Bills feel off. I could be proven wrong but I feel pretty optimistic about this one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FootballLove Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I heard on talk radio the rifft with Stefon Diggs is over Josh Allen. Josh (apparently) is not an Alpha Competitor....doesn't spend a ton of time preparing, and is fine going off talent. Diggs blamed the Bills' falloff last season with Josh being unprepared. Hopefully Josh spent the off season working on his golf game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extmenace Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 3x division champ vs the NFL team with longest playoff drought with several new pieces on the team. Not really going out on a limb picking the bills… with that being said, our defense matches up pretty well vs the bills offense. Bills are about explosive chunk plays. Jets are good at limiting those. The way to beat the bills is to make Allen throw the ball and make the mistakes. Make them score by having long drives. The longer the drive the better the chance you can force an Allen turnover. I like our chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Werblin Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Although the willfully blind and those whose views are colored by the Jets sordid history can't see it, the foundation for the Jets 20-0 SB winning season will be set in place Monday night with a 35-0 trouncing of the Bills. Josh Allen will be removed from the game in the 4th quarter for his safety. Gird your loins because we are about to witness a season of historic importance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 If the Bills attack our lbs and safeties and Allen runs a lot they have a decent chance. If they try and play a normal nfl offense and try to get diggs his touches' the jets will clobber them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you tried to run quick game out of the no huddle, you’d run 60 plays, score 12 points, and all of your receivers would have advanced CTE by the middle of the third quarter. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the news coming out of Bills camp is that they want to be a more traditional offense and use the middle part of the field more with James Cook and Dalton Kincaid, which sounds nice in theory, but relying on a smaller receiving TE who played in the Pac 12 Conference to significantly threaten NFL defenses is a big ask. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pointman Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Bills. Aging, declining, fell on their faces year after year getting to the dance. All with a future journeyman and almost draft bust QB. Us. Young, ascending, won the big one and about to win a few more soon. Now with a four time FOUR TIME league MVP with an astonishing small turnover rate that many believe is the greatest to ever throw a football. All with a cohesive young team full of top tier talent.
