If it feels like ages to you since the Buffalo Bills last played a game, you’re not alone. Thursday night games can be a real drag on fans, and don’t do teams many favors. In looking just at wins and losses, the Bills are playing up to expectations — and perhaps even better when considering their undefeated record. Many people had Buffalo losing Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens, and they almost did… until they didn’t. Because: Josh Allen.
Up next for Buffalo is a home date with the New Orleans Saints, a team which just lost a 44-13 decision to the Seattle Seahawks that didn’t even feel as close as the score would indicate. Without trying to pile on, the Saints are struggling right now.
Over at Canal Street Chronicles, they view a potential Saints win the biggest possible upset of the season so far. Buffalo is currently 15.5-point favorites against New Orleans, but Bills Mafia understands what a massive spread can do for an underdog. Just last Thursday the Bills struggled to put the Miami Dolphins away until late in action, even though Buffalo was a two-touchdown-plus favorite.
If you’re a long-time fan of the Bills and you follow the team closely, you know where thing are at heading into Week 4. Buffalo has a relatively easy schedule to begin the season, which has benefited a rather porous defense through three games. It’s worth wondering if the Bills have enough talent on defense to make a true run at greatness, especially when accounting for injury. One can do all the second-guessing desired, but the fact remains that quarterback Josh Allen is among the best players in the NFL and he just so happens to do his work with the Bills.
So, another week, another win in the books… and another downtrodden opponent heading for Highmark Stadium. How are you feeling about the team right now — are they headed in the right direction or is it impossible to tell given the level of competition they’ve faced?
