Are the Bills more talented? Even if so it is not by much. Rams are very good and have best defensive player in the NFL. Bills are missing Tre. That said I think this offense is going to be special. Bills 38 Rams 31 Please no repeat stinker like last year on national television.

Screen pass to Singletary

First nobody really knows how good or bad Daboll was. Second we know absolutely nothing about Dorsey. Third we have Josh Allen, which makes whoever is calling plays look good. Daboll didn't get beat blocking on 4th and 1 at Tenn and he didn't give up a FG with 13 seconds left. I think the Bills offense will be just fine if the oline stays healthy. Im more worried about that #1 defense facing real QBs this season.

Lol...the movers are packing up the stuff right now and the drive east starts tomorrow....new username soon

Sadly Probably takeout in Boise Idaho....

I know I'm in the minority but I really don't like the Bills Mafia name. I don't have a different suggestion, but not sure why we can't just be referred to as Bills fanbase. Hate hate the jumping /crashing tables nonsense too.

Will be very interesting to see who dresses week 1. Neither Lawson or Epenesa play STs. One of them probably doesn't dress. Based on preseason Lawson should play but reports from camp said Epenesa was ahead of him.

And the literature - surgery vs no surgery shows no difference in outcomes at least for the general public. In NBA seems pretty routine to get surgery but lots more jumping there obviously. A bit more variable in NFL it seems.

Really??? Even Nathan Peterman thinks its silly for the Bills message board to call out other teams difficultly finding a franchise QB.

And cut your losses when you screw up... All GMs miss at times. To Beane's credit he got rid of Ford and Araiza and my guess is Epenesa will be let go after he disappoints this year. Let's hope they got it right with Elam.

Good DTs are incredibly hard to find despite a bunch being drafted in the early rounds. A middle linebacker can be replaced with a rookie without missing a step or they can go with a reasonably priced veteran for a year or two. Bills already did it once when they drafted Edmunds and he started day 1. Makes no sense to commit big money to Edmunds.

The freed up cap space for this season has nothing to do with this. It is a four year extension from 2023 to 2026.

I disagree with you but kudos to posting a contrarian viewpoint. Nothing wrong with that and Bills history for TE development certainly is awful. I think Knox is the most physically gifted TE Bills have ever had and I've been a proponent of him since his mid rookie year. I think your logic is a bit flawed in terms of it being a decision between Knox and Davis. If you are thinking about money spent on offense the next decision might be Singletary or Davis. And if Davis has a breakout year that is a no brainer.

Great job Beane. Knox is a budding superstar and they got him extended at a fair price. Now just let the Edmunds situation play itself out. If he plays better then tag and extend him next off season. If not let him walk, get the comp pick, draft his replacement, and use the money to keep Oliver.

Knox first Bills' TE to ever go to a ProBowl Knox will break TE yards I could see the WR TD mark being surpassed as well.

One ping only Vasili. One ping only please.

Good topic. To some degree it depends on the opponent. Usually begins Wednesday when I watch the preview of the game on YouTube. Oddly I get less nervous when traveling to home or away game in person than I do when I watch at home.

100% agree. The whole line with the exception of Morse played poorly for the first 3/4ths of the season. Dawkins' turnaround was remarkable. Moving Williams to guard and playing Brown even with his uneven play was a big upgrade and then of course Bates played well. Lots of question marks this year but on paper they should be a better unit to start 2022 than they were to start 2021.

Thats probably true. Honestly I'd be fine if he threw a few more 50/50 balls. Diggs and Davis fight for the ball well even though they don't have elite size. They position themselves well and of course there is a chance to draw a PI.

Uber to the MetLife in NJ from NYC was super easy. Getting back to NYC from Giants stadium was a nightmare.

I think it depends on the throw. I've posted this before but I think Allen may be the best QB in history throwing the deep out, curl, or crossing pattern. I can't think of another QB better at throwing to a spot 15-25 yards dowfield. I think other QBs have better touch on the deep seam and fly routes. Its a tic tac critique but Allen still throws those balls too flat instead of putting the proverbial "air under the ball".

I think there is something to that. Bills played in really bad weather especially at home. Rain and wind was terrible last season.

My guess is the optimal win formula is for the QB to pass for250-275 and your RBs to combine for 125-150. That said, to win consistently in modern NFL you need a QB and an offense that is capable of putting up 400 pass yards when needed OR a legendary defense. Bills have the QB. Lets hope Dorsey is a capable OC and the defensive front 7 is better.

The only criticism I have of Allen's game is his deep ball accuracy. He is much improved but he still has a tendency to overthrow open guys. I don't recall many passes that were too far inside or outside. I also don't recall thinking once last year that Allen was fooled on any play. He had some poor throws as all QBs do. But as far as being fooled by coverage I don't see it.
