Yes, of course we were — we are fans. But the games were different. And then the injury bug slammed our defense.

Everyone really underestimates the value of luck in the postseason. The Chiefs have had more than their share and it’s time for the tide to turn.

We heard a whole lot of this during the offseason: ”How can they trade away Diggs and not bring in a true #1?” ”We have a bottom-three WR room in the NFL!” ”McGovern can’t switch to C; he hasn’t played there since college!” ”Brady can’t design an NFL offense that doesn’t rely upon Josh being Superman every game!” ”McDermott doesn’t understand modern NFL football.” So after three weeks and 112 points, and two 2nd halves spent just running out the clock, is it still “too soon” to say that perhaps Beane and McDermott know what they are doing?

Seriously. He has completely lost this locker room!

This game is all about stopping Henry. Bills have a huge advantage on both the OL and DL. I don't see the Ravens stopping our offense, so the key is keeping Henry from opening up everything else for them. Right now the forecast looks beautiful.

This line is completely based upon preseason expectations. It takes a few weeks to "climatize" the NFL landscape. Love the Bills' moneyline this week.

Agreed; I think you’ll find that two drunk losers are typically classless!

Exactly. That's why the Ravens signed Henry...to make teams fear the conventional run game. What they should have done, though, is to keep JK Dobbins and invest in that OL. Their line absolutely stinks and will be their undoing.

By all accounts Elam is just a victim of the numbers game right now, but do we really want to lose that depth? Injuries to CBs are pretty common.

Until you don't

Completely disagree. We want them desperate and doing desperate things trying to avoid 0-4. Plays right into our hands.

Ralph insisted that the Bills and Fish remain in the same division. Don’t think that will ever change.

I’ve got to think the fact they put neither Taron nor Bernard on IR means we’re looking at sooner rather than later for both.

They had to make the move to Dalton. They have some players.

Gotta get the papers, get the papers…

It’s a year-to-year thing, and the good GMs always figure it out.

The Bills are not in cap hell. They took a one year calculated hit to get Diggs off the team and move on from others. Next year they'll have a 4M dead cap hit for Tre White but nothing else over 162K (currently). And where the age on a team is concentrated does indeed matter -- perhaps not for the current season, but when looking ahead.

Any SNL/Jesse Jackson fans out there? "The question is moot!" Or in this case, Smoot!

Maybe it has finally gotten through to them that the Smurf look isn't a winner? We can only hope.

Depends upon where the age is emphasized.

Playing your typical word games when you get trapped. The Bills have three starters on D 30 or older (Douglas, Jones, Milano) when healthy. The O has one (Dawkins). ST have two (Martin, Ferguson) but I don't think the age of your long snapper or punter are particularly relevant to the discussion. So 4 out of 22 are 30 or older. That's the point of the thread. They have some veteran depth and rotational players but the core of the team is not old because they jettisoned at least five guys who skewed the starting roster VERY old (Morse, Diggs, Poyer, Hyde, Tre). The 29-year-olds on the roster are MVS, Smoot, and Morrow -- not a starter among them. Tell us again how they are not a "young" team in any regard?

Well deserved. Keep it going, Jimbo!

Man, this place is toxic. A guy can't even post a relevant stat about one of our receivers (who has been discussed ad nauseam this offseason) without being eviscerated. WE ALL KNOW IT'S ONLY TWO WEEKS. The alternative would be seeing that list with Coleman at the bottom. What do you think the narrative would be around here then? Some of you need to decide whether you are Buffalo Bills fans, or just miserable pessimists who have to be right all the time.

Guys, please...come reading comprehension would be nice. The Bills have some older DEPTH players that drive up the overall age of the roster.

Starters. It says it right in the heading. I didn't make it up, it was either on ESPN or the Athletic.
