Low Positive

The Bills are so good that I’m not “scared” of anyone. However, the Chiefs looked really good and the Chargers looked pretty good against a tough opponent. The Bengals will be better than that once Joe Burrow plays himself into game shape. The Ravens also have the potential to be really tough in a single elimination game as do the Colts. If you wanna play with the big boys, you gotta beat tough teams.

That game quite literally proved the importance of a long snapper. The Bengals lost theirs and their all-world kicker missed a PAT and a chip shot FG, both of which would have won the game.

I spend 0 time worrying about the Dallas Cowboys.

Burrow just threw his second big man int of the day

Bengals revamped o-line not looking good so far.

Steelers-Bengals is what's on here in Cincinnati, so I'll watch that. But the most interesting game is the Raiders-Chargers.

I wonder if Tua's dad still beats the **** out of him after every loss.

I gotta keep reminding myself that this is only week 1. I'm keyed up for this like its a playoff game.

Reading the responses to this thread reminds me that we were a terrible franchise for many years. It's why so many posters on TSW think that players on other teams are automatically better than Bills players. It's reverse homerism and it's a coping mechanism that we all developed to get through the lean years. I think that we have a few posters on this board that would trade our roster for the Jets roster because they have "better depth." We have posters here that defend Brady ON A BILLS MESSAGE BOARD. Yeah, Tom Brady is objectively the greatest to ever do it, but I'm a Bills fan so F that dude. Is Diggs better than CK? Probably not, but Diggs is our guy so I'll ride with him.

Missed one

Very few teams have depth at TE beyond the starter. Same goes for OL.

Sounds painful

It's the Patriot way...

There were no message boards back then, at least not that anyone but real geeks used. Sports fans haven't changed, it's just that we have the ability to make asses out of ourselves (semi) publicly now. I'm sure if there were messages boards back in the 1925 the Yankees' board would have had a 100+ page thread on Wally Pipp vs Lou Gehrig.

Get outta here with your "facts!" This thread is for whining about how our 3rd string OG is not an all-pro. 😁

I wonder how many guys that we cut today would have started on the 2016 BIlls?

Apparently he can't be put on the exempt list because this occurred prior to him being drafted.

This is what I think. He does check a lot of old school boxes. GMs loved him because you knew exactly what you were getting. People in NE are expecting a second year leap, but there is no where for him to go. Any flaws in his game that could be improved by coaching were corrected at some passing academy a decade ago.

If the BIlls go 11-6, they still would make the playoffs and probably win the division.

That's why I don't understand how it makes any difference that he gets his massages from team personnel. Haslem will personally hire him a hooker if he wants it.

Imagine if the Browns go on a tear after week 7 and win the Super Bowl and Watson is named SB MVP.

I mean, the man made his career by being a Tebow humper and LeBron basher.

And if SF catches that INT on the Rams winning drive, Jimmy Garopollo plays in the SB and the Bengals probably win. Living in Cincinnati, I watched the Bengals run closely. To your point, they got so many bounces. The Raiders had 1st and 10 in the red zone at the end of the divisional round and didn't score. The deflection on their game winning INT in Tennessee shot straight up. Something happened at half time in the AFCCG between Mahomes, Hill and the coaches. There is a reason that Hill is not on the Chiefs, and I think it stems from that. As to the OP. This is my #1 pet peeve in sports fandom. WE AS FANS HAVE ZERO IMPACT ON THE OUTCOMES OF GAMES. The hot topic of the week has been "we can't overlook the Dolphins." I'll overlook them all I want. I'll say it right here: The Dolphins suck. Tua Sucks. Hill without Mahomes will regress and the Fins with that rookie head coach will be lucky to win six games. I'll also say that the Bills won't lose a game this year and will win the next 10 Super Bowls. Are any of those statements true? Probably not, but my saying them have zero impact on the performance of the Buffalo Bills. The players have to take all opponents seriously or you get Jacksonville. McD, Frazier and Dorsey have to game plan week to week, because "any given Sunday." But fans?
