Process

We lost last year, but beat the Rams week 1 the year before. We were on fire the beginning of 2022, then things changed after GB.

Very cool. But if ready for it, it should be easy to defend. Return team just needs to knock the ball down and they get the ball back at the line of scrimmage.

Some normal week 1 sluggishness vs a weak NFC team, before putting a stomping on the dolphins in Week 2. Bills 24-17

With the number of quality safeties available in free agency this year, and the fact that we took one in round two, I'll be honest, I am in shock that we are going into the season with Rapp and Hamlin as our starting duo.

No mention of MVS or Edwards, so I'm assuming they are good to go? We are going into the season fully healthy, other than Milano and Solomon?

High of 60 and rain for the home opener is some nasty work by the weather gods

Going to be a beautiful week here but weekend is looking yucky for those of us going.

Starting on a holiday weekend/last weekend before a lot of kids go back to school sounds awful. It's perfect as is IMO. It will be interesting to see what they do when they go to 18 games. Like someone else mentioned Superbowl on presidents Day weekend is perfect and makes sense. But aren't they also talking about an extra bye week?

Tough schedule but I think we can go 5-1 in the division. I'll go with 11. To me the range is 10-13. Assuming we stay relatively healthy, I can't see us winning less than 10 games.

Nothing not to love about this move

A lot of fan favorites are back. Maybe we can all relax now? Updated list as of 8/30: https://www.buffalobills.com/team/players-roster/ QB Mike White RB Frank Gore Jr WR Jalen Virgil WR KJ Hamler WR Tyrell Shavers TE Zach Davidson OL Richard Gouraige OL Will Clapp OL Mike Edwards DE Kingsley Jonathan DE Kameron Cline DT Eli Ankou DT Branson Deen CB Daequan Hardy CB Te'Cory Couch S Kareem Jackson S Lewis Cine

Probably worse but they are definitely better than the Final 2023 Bills

We are talking about a 6th round pick and CB5 on the team. I think you are being a little dramatic man. I'll give McDermott some benefit of the doubt when it comes to DBs. If they thought he had good potential at CB I don't think they release him.

How bad must Hamler have been for them to trade for a guy rather than just have him fill in for a few weeks?

We've known 1-5 for 4 months now. But I agree that is what is causing the overreaction.

You think Hamler being waived is the difference in us being /not being the worst WR group in the league? People are lost their minds over WR 6/7/8.

Why? It's not that unusual to carry 5 WRs, we did it last year. I honestly don't expect them to add anyone that will be on the 53 at this point, maybe some new bodies for the PS. I think people need to accept that McBeane is comfortable with who they have for this season.

I'm hoping Browns replacement is already on the roster. DE CB and WR will likely be our biggest needs.

McDermott is gonna set a record for going for it on 4th down this year

I'm really excited about our young o lineman. Think both SVP and Grable can be starters as soon as next season. How nice would it be to not have to pay Brown?

Yea that's fine. 30 yard FGs and 4th stringers getting an extra rep both have basically 0 value, it's really not something worth debating.

I'd rather give Bass the confidence boost, he needs it. I hope we kick as many FGs as possible.
