On To Buffalo

WHODATINCA · 11-08-2017, 04:40 AM

The high will be 44 degrees in Buffalo on Sunday with a 20% chance of rain.
Hoping we prove we can play in the cold -- maybe in the snow. I expect this to be our toughest game since our streak started.

We need to be challenged; we've caught teams at the right time starting week 3. On the road, outdoors, weather a factor, playing a very good team that is mentally and physically healthy.

BRING IT!!!!!

29. Buffalo Bills: Ralph Wilson Stadium, Orchard Park, N.Y.

"The only field using the A-Turf Titan infill artificial system hasn’t gotten a good rap around the league. It is tough to tell if the cold weather in Buffalo has put a difficult spin on the Ralph Wilson Stadium turf or if this style of artificial turf just doesn’t have the same comfort level as the rest of the league."

For some reason their turf is rated as one of the worse. Likely good for us though since turf tends to cater to speed and less slips in wet conditions so advantage to us.

The temp, it's not cold for football, maybe brisk but certainly should not be an issue. Chance of rain low and almost no wind. I don't see the conditions having any effect on the game other than advantage to our speed. Covering Ginn will be tough and Kamara in the open.

While I'm not trying to dismiss the teams we've beaten recently, I do think Buffalo is a cut above most of them. I think we are better than them, but we're going to have to play our A game to win. We can't be sloppy like we've been in a few of our games and still won.

What if they're just as sloppy?

Well, they could be lol. It's not best to rely on the other team being sloppy though.

Definitely won't win if we lose the turnover margin in this one...

Looking forward to the game. Driving down for it. Should be cool, bit that's what tailgating and alcohol is for.

It all comes down to playing sound football. If we do that and they don't get lucky we should win.
