I guessed 8-8. I think the defense is going to disappoint and Josh will have a clunker or two. Getting close, but no pass rush and an offense experiencing growing pains leads to slight improvement. This is "over" the Las Vegas experts and "under" the Board optomists.

My thoughts on the O-Line are that Spain has been a huge disappointment. Not good at all, looks out of shape, penalties, injuries. We will see. Bates has looked good, but a small sample size so far. S. Long has not been good. Feliciano and Ty N. look good, and Ford seems better at guard. So I would like Dawkins, Feliciano, Morse, Ford, Ty N.

Again I disagree. If this were a multiyear proposition maybe. But not that much for a 1 year rental .

I am not sure what to think about this. In my opinion the value going back to Houston can only be for the one year rental. There are no guarantees after that. So the value would have to be just measured against one year. I suspect Philly, a realistic Super Bowl Contender, will be motivated to provide the most value back to Texas. I like Darryl Johnson.

I thought the defense looked a little weak. Beyond not generating any pass rush, there were wide open receivers that their QB (Allen) missed. Easy completions for Cam. Carolina ran the ball effectively, at times, as well. Carolina Allen did totally ignore Tre's side of the field and targeted Wallace relentlessly. So that CB2 is going to have to step up

I think that Ducasse came along with the former O-Line Coach, Castillo. Vlad was Castillo's guy and Vlad won't be around. It seems, and I could be wrong, that they would rather have Ford at Guard at this point. The Washington guy played well last night, but I did see Ford whiff on a block early in the game and Sweeney must have missed a chip block on the sack of Allen.

Doesn't Thad Tweet and report from the OTA's and mini-camps? And there were some reports that Cody was getting beat regularly around the edge by Trent Murphy.

Maybe Titus Howard has been showing his 3rd Round pedigree?

I think that Johnson looks better in shorts and non-contact. His strengths are his quickness and speed, but if I remember correctly KJ struggles with tackling and physicality. So it stands up to reason that KJ does well now, at this stage, but as so many people say, We will see when the "pads come on".

Perry was signed to shore up the dreadful Special Teams. I think he will make the roster.

I think this is a step in the right direction

I think that if the Quarterback stays healthy we will trounce the 6.5 o/u. My experience is that the rookies need almost a half of a season to show their stuff. The LB the Bears took last year (Roquan) who was so highly pitched took 7/8 games to show up. But he did, and that is what I am looking for from EO.

Croom is a good player. He gets open down the field.

Thanks Reed. I have been enjoying your information briefings today.

Still very early for a final prediction, and there has been a lot of Taylor buzz recently; but unless something major happens to shake the early draft I think it will be Wilkins.

No. Not in Buffalo, maybe in Seattle. I think you need a longer history to be on that honor roll. I am also unabashedly in favor of removing Simpson from the wall

I am conflicted but feel that this will be our draft choice at #9 tomorrow night. Not much sizzle, but very solid. Maybe a little like the Shaq Lawson draft pick where I was hoping for better, but that was the best player at that time.

I heard one FO type on the NFL channel talking with Gil and Alex. The guy said that if a OL isn't a top 50 player in the draft don't waste a pick. Because except for the elite guys, there are great options in FA and on other teams practice squads. These OL just need to be sorted out as to who can grow into and adpt in the pro game. But I think the Bills are going DL in Round 1. The way I read the tea leaves is that they will target the Tytus guy from Alabama State or the small school Carolina guy in the 2/3 round and let them learn and grow behind these experienced guys that they signed this off season. I think that might be the plan. I see Christian Wilkins in Round 1. Has "process" written all over him and with Oliver gone and the questions with Gary I see Wilkins.

My model thinks that you don't give up that first rounder unless you have a short window to the Super Bowl. Buffalo is still building themselves up and will need that first rounder. I am beginning to see Christian Wilkins in our near future.

I appreciate your after the game "thinking things" bullets with the song lyric. Always contemplate that stuff.

Unless I am mistaken we only catch the Redskins with an extended preparation period. Someone listened to our just complaints. We get Ravens after our bye.

I think it is a nice schedule. Love the Thanksgiving game. I like 1:00 pm games, and the Thursday night game was always a throwaway. Now we have to see how many teams we get coming off of their bye, or extended week?

They hold Miami in very low esteem

Agreed, eball Wow!! Back to Basic Education for some on here. Why post when one is so clueless.
