the 2014/2015 nfl thread v. R U RDY 4 SUM FOOTBAW?

hey gm

i feel pretty good. the offense gelled on the 5th and made the vaunted, unbeaten bengals defense looks pretty ordinary. the new england defense has been a little up and down but i think they're a solid unit on passing and they'll need to step up to contain the bills rush. if i hadn't picked up branden oliver this week, i'd be starting fred jackson :)

i agree that it's an important game for both teams. if new england wins, i think they finish 11-5 or 10-6 and the division might ride on the last game of the season - bills and patriots :)

i can only imagine that the atmosphere at this game is going to be incredible...

I'm more excited to see the Bills' defensive line vs. the Patriots' offensive line. The Bills dline was unbelievable against the Lions last week(Lions were 1-of-9 converting third downs) and only let up like 60 rushing yards. The front 4 have been playing like men possessed. They're tied for 1st in the league for sacks and they only blitz their front 4. Complete monsters. Hell, Marcell Dareus is tied for the league lead in sacks and he's a defensive tackle!

I think the game will be won or lost in the trenches for either team. If the Bills dline can dominate the Patriots offense there's no way the Patriots win. Same goes for Patriots Dline and the Bills offense. However it looks like the Pats will be missing their starting center and Dominique Easley, so that won't help their cause. With this game being in Buffalo I fully expect the Bills dline to destroy the Patriots offense, but we'll see.

Bills defense by the numbers:

1st in 3rd down conversion rates
1st in league in sacks
1st in turnover differential
3rd in interceptions
6th in turnovers forced
2nd in rushing yards per game
1 of 2 teams that haven't given up a rushing TD
Only given up 1 rush over 15 yards(16)
8th in overall yards per game
 
i got $5 on bills
$5 packers -3
$5 falcons -3

i'm waiting for vikings and redskins odds and if they're big enough underdogs i might bet on them too. i like betting on home underdogs unless the team is just total shit. and then redskins look like they're gonna be playing vs. Logan Thomas at QB who was 1/8 throwing when drew stanton got injured last game.
 
This is the week when we find out whether or not the Bills are for real. Most relevant NFCE game in a while.

Also, the cowboys are not for real.

Glad I grabbed that vegas bet for the Bills as AFCE champs when the odds were like 10-to-1. They're down to 3-to-1 on that same website now. =D

yeah I like the Redskins to have a decent shot this week on the road. Cardinals defense is missing a few key cogs and like you said mike, logan thomas is their qb. kirk cousins is too adequate to not win an NFL game. I wish RG3 would come to the Eagles
 
im a Giants fan, and i must say the new west coast offense looks REALLY great. i cant wait for tomorrow were gunna crush the eagles.
 
Should be a fairly easy win in Tampa today, the Bucs are dreadful. And hopefully the Panthers can do us a favor as well. Cincy might have been knocked down back to earth after their loss to the Pats, and still no Marvin Jones.. But I still expect them to win at home.
 
there are 2 upsets today that could happen that wouldn't surprise me at all

Bucs > Ravens... They just beat the steelers, and then took the Saints to overtime.. could have easily won that game

and

Dolphins > Packers ... Packers have the worst run defense in the league and it's going to be almost 100 degrees down on that field. Could be a nightmare for Green Bay if Miami controls the time of possession
 
I can see Miami winning, think Knowshown is back as well, so it will give them an added dimension to their already potent run game..
