    Things I Am Confident In, Things I Am Concerned With, Things I am Hopeful/Looking Forward To

     

    Offense:

    Things I am confident in:

    Josh Allen to Diggs, Davis, Lil Dirty, Knox, Motor-- I am confident in ALL these guys. It's going to be a show!

    Things I am concerned with:

    I feel like the only concern on offense if Ken Dorsey. I have a lot of faith in him, but this will be his first real game as a play caller. If he starts to spin out, and we see Allen with his hands over his ears, with a confused look on his face, wondering what Dorsey is trying to do-- chaos could ensue. Allen certainly has a handle o this offense, but if Dorsey isn't doing his job well, it will have an impact. (It's not a huge concern to me-- but it is a concern.)

    Things I am hopeful/looking forward to:

    An improved run game, especially with regards to the O-line. I felt all last season that the problems we had running the ball had little to do with Singletary, and far more to do with the O-line. And from that perspective, it really looked like the Bills were committed to improving the run during the offseason. I would love to see this come to fruition.

     

    Defense:

    Things I am confident in:

    The defensive line. No explanation necessary.

    Things I am concerned with:

    The secondary, and it isn't close. And not just the CB situation. We really don't know for sure how healed Poyer's elbow is. He does still have a brace on it. And, ya know... his elbows are a pretty big part of his game... But, the CB sitch is especially concerning to me. I hate to say it, but I really wish Levi Wallace had been wearing blue boxer shorts during that phone call with his agent. If he were still on the team, there is a fair chance that Dane Jackson wouldn't even be starting. And a rookie opposite him? With Stafford throwing to Cooper Krupp, and Robinson, and Higbee? Yes, I am concerned.

    Things I am hopeful/looking forward to:

    Really looking forward to seeing this defensive line perform. Many have said it (including Von Miller), but I'm looking forward to Groot having a breakout season. I hope it starts tonight! (I'll be at SoFi to see it happen!)

     

    GO BILLS!


    Pretty much the same thoughts but also a bit worried about the oline. They also have the skill, though, to shut down the Rams dline. 
     

    Taron Johnson is going to be the key to this game on defense. On 3rd and mediums when Stafford is looking to Cupp for that 5 or 6 yard out route or slant Johnson needs to be ready. The winner of that battle wins the game IMO.

    I would think they would not want to mess with one of the best nickel corners in the league and move him to a spot he has never played.


    Indeed this is the flip side.

     

    Although I have thought of 3 points for this to potentially happen

     

    1. In a zone nickel scheme in which the Bills play the nickel CB is learning the same concepts as the he safeties and often times playing those as well based on the offensive formation

     

    2. The best slot corners in the league tend to fade much quicker than the best outside CBs 

     

    3. Micah Hyde made the transition and would be valuable in helping Taron do so as well

     

    He also hits like a ton of bricks. Not saying it should happen, but OBD should consider it.

    Does anyone have an extra tailgate ticket? It’s sold out and I forgot to text my buddy to get one. Now our whole group has them except me. If anyone has an extra please PM me. I’d appreciate it.


    If you’re going to be near the stadium early I would check to see if they’re allowing any walk-ins. The dude at the table in Hermosa where I got my wristband said there is a chance they’ll let some folks in after a bit of time if there are some no shows.

     

    My wife’s cousin is in the same boat as you.

    Did you respond to this with your mask on? If you can't see how people were forced to take it, then you are a lost soul. A beta male. A sheep who can't handle truth.

     

    Millions of people were forced to take it or face threat of losing their jobs, and not be able to live freely as they did before (see vaccine passports in NYC and other major liberal cities). All this for a virus that had a 99.94% survival rate. 


    “A beta male. A sheep who can’t handle truth.”

     

    You sound like an absolute moron.

     

    You have been brainwashed.

    Yeah, that was a lie from the beginning.  Kind of like Araiza's accuser claiming she told people at a college party she was 17. :rolleyes:

     

    So I guess impeachment next year.  Turnabout...


    Weird how fixated you are on defending a potential rapist without knowing all the facts. Twitter DA Doc still blasting away at the 300 page Araiza thread with your mind already made up. Sad.

     

    Go outside or something.

    But you'd lose your job if you don't do it (see: US military) 


    Indeed. Though there are plenty of companies and states that allowed those who were unvaxxed to continue working.

     

    Pick and choose all you want.

     

    Throwing blanket statements over complex issues with nuance and variance is how the propaganda grows and festers.
