Success

Brady must be terrible to play with. Well, except the whole "getting a bunch of rings" part.

They're getting zero pressure on Brady. I want to see how the old man does once he gets hit a few times.

I cannot believe that Brady is still out there. I was a young man when he started playing. I can't remember ever being so tired of a player. I hope he loses every game, and throws a pick on every pass.

It's us & KC, yet again. And sure - this is a week 1 hot take. But it's probably a true story.

Wow - Pitt!

Burrow just shouldn't be lumped in w/ Allen & Mahomes right now.

Wow - we really ARE the best team.

My impressions 20 minutes into the 1st Sunday: The Bills will win the AFC East.

The undefeated thing doesn't interest me that much. Can't explain why. I'd rather win 4 in a row to even up the SB record. Or, actually, 5 so that we have a winning record.

Pats/Phins is really a no brainer to me. Miami feels like a frat brother who went through the same 2-decade hazing as us. I can never see rooting for New England unless it's absolutely vital for playoff position or something along those lines.

Boston? That city's run is over, so I guess they have to write about something.

That wasn't a 1st impression. He carried the ball once - I'm not going to hold a fumble in a situation like that against him. I think this is what they might call a "hot take."

Pats/Phins for sure. I still don't know which team will give us a harder time - conventional wisdom says Miami, but I'll never underestimate Belichick. Pitt/Cincy is interesting. Will Trubisky excel in Pitt? Is Cincy really all that? Bucs/Cowboys is a great Sunday nighter. Never thought I'd say this - but go Dallas.

Checking the Pats boards, their current copium is pretty tied to this - a general sort of "he'll be just like Cam Newton - I give him 3 years tops at this level." I hope we're not as bitter and petty as that crew after we win 6.

That's great - we'll get a lot more mileage out of him in the long run, and he still had a huge impact. In general, I love the coaching philosophy w/ the D and always rotating. I think Collinsworth said we do that more than any other team in the league, and I think it works. Especially w/ our depth. Non-related note: did anyone notice how huge Rousseau is now? He must have put on 20 lbs.

A week ago, when I looked at the schedule, I thought the first 1-2 months were pretty daunting. Now, not so much. Some tough games for sure. But no one is beating this team when they're playing their A game. And certainly not the Titans for the 3rd year in a row, this time in Buffalo.

When we play our best, no team in the league can beat us. I haven't been able to say that about a Bills team for a LONG time.

I get the "he's choosing to run" arguments - but that falls to coaching, too. It just feels like that shouldn't always be the easy button on plays that break down a little. But I also get the idea that some fans are making, that this is just who Allen is. And maybe we just have to ride w/ that, whatever comes. Kelly used to take some big chances running, and he had a pretty healthy career overall. And that was in the days when QB's weren't as protected. Allen reminds me of him so much at times - that "Linebacker mentality."

Apologies if there is already a thread on this - I checked and didn't see anything. And was surprised, because I thought this would be a hot topic today. I loved the game last night, and Allen is one of the best players I've seen. That's not hyperbole. He can do literally everything out there. But he's running too much. It can't be stated more simply than that. The Bills can have a long run with JA at QB, but only if he's on the field. He's such a good passer - I was really hoping the new OC would change our usage of Allen somewhat, and cut down on designed runs and putting him in the thick of things up the middle. I don't think it's sustainable. Thoughts?

I actually thought Moss looked alright. He didn't have a lot of blocking on some of those plays.

Wow. The Bills are good at football. This is going to be a fun season.

The Bills are the better team. We let them take the mo back, but still plenty of time.

Man, is this tense. I always wonder why I "enjoy" this. The offseason, my emotions were fine.

Eventually. Probably not tonight.

I feel like the big plays are there - would love to see them take a deep shot or 2 in the 2nd half.
