The Bills beat the Titans last year with a different version of Josh Allen than the one we saw last week.

The Bills run defense handled their two biggest challenges of the year. Barkley had his runs because he is that good but after the first series they shut it down.

I think the Bills handle Tennessee. I also think that is when Singletary takes over as the feature back.

Other than that I agree with everything you have there, the Browns game could be flipped depending on how those personalities mesh in that locker room

The Eagles also look incredibly average this year.

And like us, the Ravens haven’t been challenged

I have some relatives who work there. Writing has been on the wall. GM had instituted mandatory overtime over the summer to stockpile engines when it became clear this could happen. At least that's the theory I was told at the time

a few takes on the bills and the afc

we really don't know how good the bills, pats and baltimore is

they all played crap teams


I do think our O will get better, and looks light years ahead of last season already

I do think our D will be a top 5 unit


so If we beat the bengals

a 10 win season is very realistic


the bills didn't do anything exciting, but they did go on the road and for the most part kept 2 of the top 5 running backs in check, which over the past years the running backs going off was the biggest issue with the D

It all depends on josh Allen still ......

Jets defense was pretty good. Giants sucked.

I need to see more before we anoint him as a franchise qb.

Flaccoville, how's that winning with a good defense and a veteran qb working out?

We should be 1-1. How a team is able to take a timeout coinciding with a player falling down with 1 second left without lag time doesn’t make sense to me.

I’m not going to panic though. It’s been two weeks. We’ve started 3-1 the last two seasons and missed the playoffs.

I am not sure it's a good defense

raiders put a lot of points on them

and chicago sucks on offense

Not going to get much easier having to go into Green Bay this week. Will be nice having our full lineup fully healthy at least though. We’ve missed our starting MLB and RCB

So if cozens makes Ellie look like an all star tonight ..... can he play his 9 games?
- Sabretooth9


It’s more like can Ellie help couzens not look like Tyler Dubinsky the useless player from the Yukon trail.
Not sure why Ellie is playing would have thought they already penciled him in on the top line.

Probably have to wait until game-time like with the prospects tournaments.

Prediction : Jalen Ramsey will be traded to the Patriots for a 1st + ??? . And they'll somehow fit him into their cap.

Jalen Ramsey requests trade.

Buffalo would never trade for him (due to trade cost, 1st plus is asking, and then due new contract next year). Knew his time in Jacksonville was coming to an end soon. Marone should be gone by the end of the season too, imo.

I agree with your Oakland point.

The AFC in general is bad ..... really bad. After the patriots and chiefs. No one is even close to those teams.

The bills by pure luck that the AFC sucks and a good defense could make playoffs.

Time will tell

- Sabretooth9


That doesn't really mean anything as those teams are insane.

Totally. He will get paid by some team though. Who knows how the trade will work out, that’s a lot to ask (trade value) for a CB (he is very very good) about to get paid the most for any cb ever.

They've had a fancy 50th screen up since like 5 to, then switched to a matchup screen. Now I have video, but no audio.

I think we know how good the Patriots are, the last 3 superbowls involved them.


I'd say they are the #1 ranked nfl team
