I mean I can make a real football argument for why they could win. The best WR the Bills have played is Jameison Crowder so far so they haven't been asked to really cover anyone as of yet. They haven't had to face much of a pass rush yet giving Allen time to scramble around and take his shots. Josh Allen is still an up and down young QB prone to making really bad decisions with the ball down the field. Their O line isn't good, better than ours but not great.
Just looking at it game plan wise, I'd go same plan offensive and defensive as we did in Seattle. Spread them out all game and challenge their corners. Stack the box and make Allen beat you under pressure.
Now am I going to pick the Bengals? No, but that has more to do with me not sure how Zach Taylor gets the team to rebound. However, to say there is no football reason to say the team could win isn't really true. All 2-0 teams aren't created equal, this is probably the one 2-0 team I'd say we have an actual chance of beating right now looking at the X's and O's.
