All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

Are the 2 hardest games of the season out of the way??
Are the 2 hardest games of the season out of the way??
Looking at the remaining schedule, I cannot for the life of me see a better team than the Bills. San Diego has issues, Broncos have been scoring on weakness and NE has no Brady. I actually see the last game of the season having the Bills start their 3rd string and having no reason to play.
Re: Are the 2 hardest games of the season out of the way??
The Seahawks are not a good team, and they won't even make the playoffs this year, IMO. The Jaguars game was tough, but we still have a lot of other tough games left.
The Chargers will bounce back, and they started slow last year too. That game will be a real test, but I think we can win since we are at home, and coming off a bye week.
The Broncos (Week 16) and Patriots (Week 10) games will be tough, and I see us losing those games.
Re: Are the 2 hardest games of the season out of the way??
Not a chance. What Spaz said...and the Pats I think we'll split with. Not sure we can win on the road there but I've seen weirder things...like us winning these past 2 games!
Re: Are the 2 hardest games of the season out of the way??
The Browns?? They looked like crap. Chargers are 0-2 for a reason and didn't lose to powerhouse teams, they just lost. Broncos game will be tough but winnable and who knows how we are playing by then or even them.

Many W in the column by mid season, many.
Umm the Chargers lost to the Broncos and really should have won except for a terrible call.
Re: Are the 2 hardest games of the season out of the way??
Below is ESPN power rankings. Besides NE, not one other team that we have to play is currently in the top 10. That doesn't mean this won't change but it says alot about how we should do based on the current standings.
The Steelers took control of the AFC North with a big win over Cleveland. Now it's time for Pittsburgh to prove it's one of the elite teams in the NFL with another big road game against Philadelphia. (JW)
They've feasted on two winless teams. Now the Packers face the biggest game of the young season: A home matchup against Dallas that should establish early NFC supremacy. (KS)
They're still the AFC East team to beat even if they don't have superduperstar QB Tom Brady. Matt Cassel played it safe against the Jets, and that was good enough. They should be 3-0 with the Dolphins coming to Foxborough. (TG)
The Bills scored 10 points in the fourth quarter in a comeback victory in the Jacksonville heat. They should be 3-0 after their home game against the reeling Raiders. (TG)
Re: Are the 2 hardest games of the season out of the way??
It's difficult to quantify the relative difficulty of games on the Bills schedule. Buffalo caught Seattle at a very opportune time, with their offense crippled by injuries to receivers. I don't think Jacksonville was affected a great deal by their injury problems on the offensive line. That was a very good win. I would hope that Buffalo respects every opponent, but particularly Arizona, San Diego, New England, Denver, and even the Jets. I think Buffalo can beat any one of them. They all have weaknesses, but they all have strengths too, and on a given day those strengths can rise up and bite an unprepared team, even one that is well rounded and has a lot of talent.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
