Matt in KC

Bills 33 Pats 18 ---------------- Okay, to show I can be a real cynical Bills fan, my intuition points to something more like this: Bills go up by 14 on defensive TD at the start of the 2nd quarter Bills up by 7 at the half game still tied with 5 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter Bills lose by 17 after a TOP of only 3.5 minutes in the 4th quarter. Have a great day everyone, and enjoy the game this weekend!

It seems like the team is finally coming out of "preseason" after somewhat skipping the real preseason. Hopefully Dareus doesn't take until week 6 to start moving full speed all game...

Sadly this is not the first time this joke was made in the first 45 posts. (see post #7). The fan base is in tune with the fact that the bottom end or our receiving corps is competing with inanimate objects for a spot on the roster.

Bills 13 Cards 34

Kelvin Benjamin for sure. He didn't look 100% yet, but is still capable of putting up great numbers at that level. Healthy, he could be dominant,

Try again next week?

Biggest question mark: Sammy's foot ?

I will jump in here too, for feedback on my only fantasy team this year, rather than start a new thread. 12 Team League, .5 PPR, short bench (14 roster spots, but 2 IR) Starters T. Taylor D. Johnson L. McCoy F. Gore (flex) B. Marshall K. Benjamin T. Kelce Vinateri Broncos Bench A. Abdullah B. Powell K. Aiken W. Snead M. Bennett

That team rocks, especially your starters!

With Gronk out, how good a game do you think M. Bennett will have? I have Kelce, so I am not playing him, but am trying to trade him to someone with Gronk who cannot pick up another TE since FAs are locked after the week 1 games are over.

My biggest question is Kyle Williams. If Kyle is back to his old form (and can stay healthy) our defense may be very good. If Kyle appears to be in decline, the Bills will struggle, especially while Dareus is out. I want to see if the defense is in synch and fluidly playing Ryan's scheme. I saw signs this preseason, but it is hard to say with all of the absences. Last year's sack total (21) was pitiful for the talent on the team.

"Hughes goes HAM (in a big way)" ?

Hey, heads-up: I predicted a 6 yard pass from Tyrod to Woods earlier in this thread.

Pass from Taylor to Woods for 6 yards

Tony Moeaki? Deja vu?

Good post. It looks like we are going to see a lot of our offensive snaps with someone unproven on the field. Tyrod O-Line Clay McCoy Watkins Woods Goodwin This looks to be the best grouping to me, with Bush or Dray added in place of Goodwin based on situation.

My bold prediction: Gronk gets cut too.

Kim is cheap.

Tomorrow. By 4 pm Eastern, I believe. Jace Amaro? http://nypost.com/2016/09/02/was-this-the-end-of-jace-amaros-career-as-a-jet/

I'd think they would keep Albright (or Lattimore?) and cut O'Leary and/or Gronkowski.

I think the no TD call was the right one. Certainly it was consistent with how they have been calling them. (Though I think control + 2 feet should equal a TD, regardless of what happens after.) I liked them going back to Little right after that and that it worked the next time. I just looked up the play-by-play and you are right, it isn't as bad as I remembered. I thought there were more incompletions to him, and overall I am not impressed with his awareness / control / concentration / hands. Last night was a probably a positive for his standings; he can't help that he wasn't in with the ones. At his skill level though, I would rather keep a developing WR or specialist over him unless it looks like he is finding new life.

I thought Albright really helped himself, looking like one of the best player on the field when he played. He looks like a great developmental backup. For the first time in a long time I am very happy with our QBs. EJ is definitely maturing, and seems to have lost his panic. Cardale could be really good with a couple years coaching and experience. I did not think Little really helped himself. He should be able to run with the #1s and just looks outmatched and inconsistent at that level. And I don't think it is likely he continues to develop (much). He is on the bubble for me as I look for last cuts to draw up a roster of 53. Carpenter can boom kick-offs. I think the issue is the wear on his leg and his ability to stay solid for the long haul so he can do both later in the season. Also, Douzable did not look very good to me, ending up on the ground a lot.

I am seeing the same thing. He will be flying around the field in no time: http://tinyurl.com/27f57

You're right. I was thinking it was sitting there next to the table.
