They are both going to have to step up this Sunday against Vince Wolfork. I think our interior of the line will get the job done tomorrow.

1) The Patriots lead the league in total offensive yards. 2) They are the number one passing team in the league at this point. 3) The Patriots are a well coached team and have a decent run defense. If you'd like me to continue that's fine. I think you need to use your head more than your heart on this one, jmo.

Dr. There is nothing wrong with being optimistic. However, we have lost 15 straight times to this team. Until we actually beat them, I don't see this happening. I'd love for us to beat them, but give me 3 reasons why the Bills will win on Sunday against the Patriots.

I'd like to think we come out and are competitive in this game. The thing is, I think reality might sink in after Sunday's game. Pats 34 Bills 17.

Corner and safety blitzes would be the game plan I had in mind. Have to do something different against the Patriots.

In your opinion who has been our overall best offensive lineman so far?

A lot of those old videos in the archive are outstanding. If we beat New England that's great, but ripping the goal posts down might be a little too early in the season.

I agree. It seemed as if after Christie made the kick we were going to the next round.

Great job Bill. I am thrilled that Dareus is already making a positive difference for this team. Keep these guys healthy and I think we have a decent chance to make the playoffs this season.

As much as it is great to see the Bills win, getting ahead of ourselves is the last thing you want to do at this point. The object now is to beat Oakland next Sunday. It's a game I think we have a good chance to win but we'll have to play with the same intensity as we had yesterday.

Close game. I'll go with Kansas City 19 Buffalo 17

That is true. The Braves usually have good pitching every year. Now whether they can get past the Phillies this year is another story.

I think your opinions are accurate but I am not convinced yet about the NL West. I still think the Giants will come back and end up winning that division.

I agree, It would be foolish to cut McGee. When he is healthy he can make plays for us. Unless the front office wants to get rid of every Tom D player that he drafted and start over again.

It is quiet over here for now but once the playoffs come around I think this forum will pick up. While the Braves are playing well and as good as the Phillies can be, it seems like the Brewers are the team to beat at the moment in the NL.

I think we'll have a better home record this year than last year. You are correct imo, our defense will be better overall. I think 6-10 to 8-8 seems realistic.

I think this looks pretty accurate but I would imagine the Bills having one more CB on the roster and maybe one less lb.

No way Buffalo picks him up. I think the Bears or the Eagles will most likely sign him in the next few days. The center position for Buffalo is in good shape with Eric Wood.

As much as he would help our franchise, I would not want to go 0-16 this season or any season.

There is no doubt that we will be below .500. I'm just not convinced that we have a chance this year.

Well, if this is true about demoting Andy L, maybe someone with more experience in football can explain this too me.

I agree and Kyle was still making plays. The defensive tackle area seems to be solid and we have good depth at the position.

Well I did go the game but it is a little late for a full game description. I think what a lot of posters have mentioned is correct. Merriman was outstanding and Dareus makes us better on the inside. The one position I think we actually do have depth at is defensive tackle and possibly throughout the defensive line. The special teams will get better, I am confident of this. While we may not be the best special teams team in the league, I think this area will improve overall as the season goes on. As for the offense, I really didn't see anything jump out at me throughout the game. The right side of the offensive line in my opinion really did not have the best game. Fortunately, Chan Gailey is a good offensive coach so maybe we can get some of these things straightened out so we can score some touchdowns. The trade of Lee Evans still does not make sense to me, but maybe the front office knows something that we don't. The preseason is for getting better and hopefully we continue to improve.

I will be at Solider Field tonight and will be staying for most of the game. I will give everyone a thorough report on what I saw both positive and negative tonight. While I am not one of the fans in favor of the Lee Evans trade, I will watch the wide receivers tonight to see if they get separation from the DB's of the Bears and most of all if they can catch the football.

I will be there tomorrow in section 440. Anyone else going to the game?
