Everything is stacked against us this week

[OpIv37]

-We're not very good to start with
-We've got 3 starting defenders (Ellison, Webster, Simpson) and three key rotational defenders (Denney, Hargrove, Wire) out for the game, and this is from a D that gave up 470 yards last week with 4 of those 6 playing at least part of the game.
-While the offense hasn't been hit nearly as hard with injuries, they struggled last week and will be trying to get on track vs a blitzing, stunting D that brings pressure from every possible direction.
-It's Pittsburgh's home opener and the team and the hometown crowd will be pumped
-We have the stress of the Everett situation.

Honestly, Webster played like garbage so I don't think that will make much difference, but we're definitely feeling the effects of the other injuries.

It'll be a minor miracle if we even keep this one close.

the point spread is Buffalo +9 1/2.after seeing a lethargic offense and a Swiss cheese defense,i'm not sure that is enough.

If the Bills don't put a pass rush on Big Ben this game could get ugly.

I'm more worried about stopping Willie Parker.

I guess the Bills should just not bother going down and playing

Bills win.

Re: Everything is stacked against us this week

Bills win.

there is no logical way you can look at the evidence we have and the facts I listed above and come to that conclusion. Homer post.

9.5 IS A GIFT.

9.5 IS A GIFT.

maybe for gamblers- it means very little to the team on the field that has to win outright for it to mean anything. Beating the spread every week isn't going to get the Bills into the playoffs.

If the players come in with this attitude they will get destroyed.

Re: Everything is stacked against us this week

The most teling sign that nobody has mentioned, at least that I've seen, is how visibly shaken Losman is by Everett's injury. Now I fully expect the players to be emotional over it and have some thoughts/concern over their fallen teammate but our starting QB looks downright distraught by it. Saying things like "I don't know if it's even worth it to play this game (football in general)"

Where Losman's head is at come Sunday is a big deal as to whether or not we remain competitive let alone win.

yeah well they get paid millions not to have that attitude but the right attitude isn't enough to overcome those obstacles.
