The summer of Keon may have been great, but the fall of Keon is not off to a great start.....

Everything I said they did well on defense the first series, they didn't do on that one. The offense needs to respond after the trash series the last time they were out.

Everything we did right on the first series, we did wrong there. Look.....I love Cook, but I want the ball in the MVP's hands on 3rd down. And, I don't know what their fascination is with running left on big downs. I would much rather run behind Cybo and Brown than Edwards....

Holding them to 3 is going to be a win on every series all night...... A lot to like on that series even though they gave up points. The pressure was good. Didn't give up the huge run to Henry on the first series like they always seem to do. The rookies made some plays. And, at least on the first series, we were attacking and not laying back. Hope to see it all continue. I do need AJ not to give up the edge to Jackson again, though.....stay in front of him!

BIG ED!!!

Sanders with a great rush

That was not a hold..... Here we go again with the refs

AJ needs to hold the edge there. He's not chasing that down in time anyway. Just key on Jackson and don't come off him.

Stay healthy. Play hard. Play smart. WIN! GO BILLS!!!!

Alright.....got my moneyline and conservative Ravens player prop bets in that should easily hit! I've done my part to help the Bills throttle them and win!

Not surprising.... Kid has some nice tools to work with, but he's raw overall. Gotta work on his bend and flexibility. He knows how to use his hands and he has a good motor, but he's got some work to do. He's someone that will benefit from reps in practice and working with the coaches and trainers and, hopefully, might provide something later this season.

Egbuka!!!! WOW!

This Tampa vs Falcons game has been a pretty good one as well. Lots of fun games on the early slate!

I mean, it remains to be see what the Bears will look like today, but everyone around those joint practices with the Dolphins were saying the Fins were softer than Charmin. It certainly looks like they aren't up to it today so far. I mean, I never take anything out of Week 1 for any team that means anything at all, except major injuries, so it is still early to make a final call or be overly concerned regardless of what happens today, but this has been a narrative about the Dolphins all summer.

This may have been the best I have seen Herbert ever play for an entire game.....

It is so nice to see a team not fall for Mahomes' stupid antics and just hit him for a change..... Hopefully they keep this up.

The biggest difference in these stats? One of them got to play the Bills defense with overall more talented weapons and the other one had to play the Ravens defense carrying his squad on his back.

Jordan Schultz @Schultz_Report Sources: The #Bills worked out three kickers today: Eddy Piñeiro, Zane Gonzalez and Greg Joseph. If Bass isn't ready to go, hopefully we can find someone decent to get us through a few games if needed.

Would it take some significant restructuring? Yes. Is it possible? Of course it is if you want it bad enough. Will it happen? 99% chance of it not happening. That said, this is the one position Beane has been in a search for an answer for years and this is one of the best pure rushers in the league. I hope that he makes an aggressive offer. This kind of opportunity at a star player at this age doesn't come around very often. So, hopefully Beane gets in there and fights. It's obviously not likely because there will be a lot of teams with more available resources, trade capital, and desperation than we have, but it would be nice to see us in there going for it. Not getting too excited about it though as it probably isn't happening.

So much overreaction to this move here. But, I have been here for very long time, so I am not surprised. Anyway, I am not seeing the downside here. Is he washed? Probably. Will he play for us this year? Probably not. What he can be for this team though is a mentor. His physical skills may not be there anymore, but he is a true pro. He knows how to study tape. He knows where eyes need to be in all defenses. At the very least, he is a guy that can help our young room be more prepared come game day. Worst case scenario? We get riddled with injuries. And let's face it. The guys in the room are not exactly known for their durability. In a pinch, he could absolutely step in and get you out of a game or 2 if needed. Do you want him playing? Absolutely not but he knows and understands the system better than everyone in that room and while is is severely limited physically at this point, he is smart enough to mask some of those deficiencies. But yeah......we hope he never has to play and he can just be an asset in the room. Quite honestly, all things considered even with him being a broken down version of his former self, I'd rather have him on the field than Hamlin. But whatever. Don't overreact guys. Hopefully it never comes to him actually playing.

Never said it was insignificant. Even said it would be a setback in the race for home field. Of course we don't want to lose it, but if there is any positive to take out of a loss is that it is just Week 1 and there is the entire rest of the season to try and get that win back. Of course it isn't insignificant.

I've said this in other threads since the schedule was announced and I will say it again here. Week 1 is just an unpredictable wild card and no matter what happens in the game, it is not going to affect my outlook on the season at all (well, outside of any injuries that may happen). Win by 40, lose by 40.....won't matter much in the end because these teams are likely on a collision course one way or another come January and both teams will be a lot different by then. If I had a lean, I think I would have it on the Ravens only because, for whatever reason, sometimes it takes us a while to get going in Week 1. I mean we win our share of games in Week 1, but sometimes it is a struggle, even against worse teams. Even last year we played a terrible first half before finally turning things up late against the Cardinals. We won't probably have that luxury of a slow start against the Ravens because their defense is so good. So, unless we come out cooking and keep the game within striking distance, I don't feel great about the game, especially with the questions we have in the secondary right now. All that said, though, win, lose, blowout, etc.......I don't think it is going to set back either team drastically in the long run. Obviously a loss hurts us in the race for home field, but we have 16 more to play catch up if needed.

I think the longer Dane Jackson plays, the better I feel about Tre being ready for Week 1. If there is any chance Jackson was going to have to be CB2 opening night, I have a hard time believing he would still be playing into the 4th quarter of the last preseason game. Not that I am overly confident in Tre being able to do the job, but until Hairston is healthy, he's probably the best answer we have on the roster for that spot. Even when he is healthy, it still may be a while before he can ramp up to take meaningful reps at that spot. Going to have some pains at that position I'm afraid no matter what way we end up going there.

Who knew pelvic soreness was all it would take to fix Bass...... Should have had it a long time ago!

Yeah..... He does some things well but he is very raw and the game is moving quick for him. Perfect PS guy, though.
