The Bears were the 2nd ranked scoring offense in the entire league last season behind the alltime record-breaking Broncos and the Bills beat them in their own house. Matt Forte was the #2 RB last season with over 1,300 yards. The Bills held them to only 20 points, which will probably only happen a handful of times for the rest of the season. The Dolphins are ranked top 10 in defense so far this year, who just crushed the Patriots. Not exactly easy teams to beat. Did you see what the Bears just did to the Niners?

The Bills Dline is arguably the best in the entire NFL. Definitely top 3. I don't know what makes you think the Cards and Seahawks defense is in a different category than the Bills'. Last season the Bills were ranked 2nd in sacks, 4th in interceptions, and 4th in passing yards per game given up.

West Coast teams travelling to play early East coast games have a 33% lower win rate than they do when playing on the West Coast. The last time the Chargers came to Buffalo they lost, and that was to a far inferior Bills team than this year's Bills team. The Chargers aren't going to know what hit them. I'll be there tomorrow, in the stands with the 2 dozen people from our party bus, screaming my head off until Rivers' ears bleed.

well, if that was what i said maybe. except that's not what i said at all.

it's right there in black and white and i'll quote it for you again here:

the dolphins - a top 10 defense (yards per game, better than both the seahawks and the cardinals D)

here are the actual numbers for yards per game for the season to date:

miami 315
seattle 316
san diego 345.5

in this regard. miami is better than san diego and seattle. that's a simple fact.

are there other metrics which place this conversation in a different light? sure? how about points per game where it goes san diego, seattle, miami.

i explicitly stated yards per game so i don't know why you're trying to twist what i am saying.

my post was a simple retort to dwe's knee-jerk, football-moron message designed to demonstrate that, when you take a closer look, a claim like "Manuel's quarterbacking this season has been essentially as good as River" is more true than he would like to believe.

the NFL is more about the ebb and flow of the season than stats to be honest

I just dont see the Bills starting 3-0, and if I really cared that much about a Bills / Chargers game, Im sure I could find a bunch of quasi-relevant stats to support my claim. Not to mention, using any stats from last season as justification for something happening against a specific team this season is laughable. If Kiko Alonso was playing I'd be all for the Bills, but I'm still under the impression that EJ Manuel will have a few shitty games this year and I just see the Chargers following the same trend every year.

we shall see, and the funny part is, I'm really not worried about 2 AFC teams that probably both wont make the playoffs when it's all said and done anyway.

I hope Bryce Brown runs for 200 yards and the bills kick 5 field goals and lose 17-15

the Bills D line might be too aggressive for it's own good, I see Woodhead gashing them for some sizeable screen play yards. Only takes 1 or two turnovers to change the game as well.

EJ Manuel will throw a few pick-sixes this year, im telling you
 
I'm looking forward to coming here on Monday and pointing out how wrong you were.

The Bills Dline is much less aggressive this year under Shwartz. Danny Woodhead probably won't make it through the whole game before getting injured.

Should be a great day of football today. Whipping up a kind spread of caprese, barbecued meatballs, habanero cheddar, jarlsberg, dry salami, crackers, and I picked a a spider role and some yellow fin sashimi as sustenance for the games.

GO PACK GO :!
