    I seriously hope the team isn't buying into the hype the way the fans are.....

    Between the Bills' off-season additions and the Jets' injuries and distractions, it seems like too many people are starting to view a win as a foregone conclusion.

    I don't like it.

    The Jets are the team coming into this game with something to prove. Everyone thinks they're a mess and they want to show everyone they're not.

    Meanwhile, the Bills have spent the last few months hearing everyone talk playoffs.

    I don't know what the mentality of the team is, but if they aren't prepared, this has the makings of a "sleeper" game. The Bills need a fast start.

    and the bills have nothing to prove?

    Only reason why I like the bills is because the jets have a new system offensively and it will take time for them to gel especially with a questionable OL. Not exactly the best time to face a team with a DL like the bills.

      I think the Bills, especially Fitzpatrick, have a lot to prove. While I believe the running game is the strong suit of the offense I feel the play of Fitzpatrick will determine if this team makes the playoffs. They did not exactly play much better than the Jets in the preseason. The Jets just got a lot more media coverage about how bad the offense played. No reason for the players think it is a cake walk.

        Chan is 0-4 vs. the jets. I think he knows that.

          Sucks when your 60 million dollar QB who proved nothing still has a lot to prove.

            The team's mantra all summer has been "we haven't proved a thing yet". I think the team realizes they aren't good enough to overlook anybody. I'm not worried about them not being mentally prepared. I'm worried because I don't think the Jets are as bad as they looked in the pre-season.

              Just so your definition is clear, do you equate any prediction of victory with "a foregone conclusion"?

              I predict the Bills to win, but if degree of confidence is measured, I wouldn't say it's a foregone conclusion.

                You don't like the fact that some Bills fans expect the Bills to win. I am SHOCKED.

                    I agree with the OP. Yes Jets looked bad in the preseason and it was magnified x10000000, but so did the Bills. And I know the Bills are healthy now and have added good pieces, but I find it crazy that the large consensus is the Bills will win this game, especially on the road. The Bills are the hot trendy team, while the Jets are having mud thrown at them from every direction.

                    It will be a close game I think, but I dont believe there should be a clear consensus favorite to win.

                      after going 5-2 into a collapse they better not.
                      I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
                      "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
                      You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
                      It was all                       true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
                      He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can                       mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

                        It's not just Bills fans. Even a lot of the national media and people who usually **** on us are jumping on board.

                          Apparently only the jets have something to prove which will lead to their irreversable and uncompromising victory! With that out of the way lets focus on the chiefs!

                            Maybe not you specifically, but look around the board. A lot of "when we beat the Jets," "after we beat the Jets" kind of stuff around. Also, someone started a thread about which game was a guaranteed win, and many people picked this game.

                            that's not at all what I said.
