eball...TSW's resident speech censor nazi since 2008. All negative Bills opinions will not be tolerated, only his all-knowing analysis. Get over yourself.

Chambers goes from being the seldom used swing tackle to being a starting RT. Walker has exactly 13 days to get healthy and protect a 2nd year QB's blindside. How do you know Walker will be healthy? I'll grand you he's probably not as bad as a break, but will he be 100% against Seattle and.....Patrick Kerney? We'll see. Hey, I'm not trying to be negative, but the tackle position isn't reassuring if you're a fan of this football team. Only the most nieve fan is not sweating here. Throw in a rookie 7th rounder and a street FA in Estes, and this team needs serious help-fast. The run game didn't look good tonight, save for a scramble from Losman and one run by Jackson.

Rotoworld reported Bell's combine bench was 9 reps. J/K PTR

I hope Walker's got a minor sprain, but I believe he's going to miss time, perhaps as much as two weeks. It will tell me a lot if Peters showed up and was ready to go with what's happening, but I doubt it. I think Bell could be decent down the road, but let's not get carried away. He benched 225 nine times at the combine, and is probably a practice squad guy at this point. If he's starting or serving as a primary backup, this teams has serious issues and would hope the Bills have the presence of mind to avoid this.

Quinn Gray...(in Belushi voice) dead!!! Niedermayer!

He hasn't exactly faced decent competition. Freeney left early, and defenses will know that if he's starting, the weakness on the OL is a rookie 7th rounder at the most important line position. Everyone talked about game planning, or lack thereof with Pittsburgh on their part. Once the season starts, the starting QB better grow eyes in the back of his head. He's a project now first string on the depth chart. Before the Peters and Walker issues, I figured he'd be PS material until he gets stronger. It's good to hear Walker may not be as bad as we first thought, but they are extremely weak at tackle. Chambers, Bell, and Estes are their only healthy tackles as this point.

Indy's got serious issues at QB behind Manning.

Bobby A...what's happening tonight?

I can see Wright getting the axe (or is it ask Deion?) but Omon is a pick from this year's draft. Maybe I'm putting too much into that, but Hall's a UDFA, and teams don't normally cut draft picks in favor of UDFA's. Then again, who cares. Whomever is third string RB isn't seeing the field unless it's ST's.

Ahead of Wright and Omon?

That's kinda like saying John McCargo hasn't been good, but at least we "found" Kyle Williams. It's not okay if a first rounder busts (and by no means is Leodis even close to a bust) but finding an average player later in the draft at the same position your first rounder plays is no consolation.

Didn't you watch the opening tonight? The time is now...last year's history according to the NFL intro to the game. Wilson was forced into the starting safety role, and was had a gift wrapped one from Romo. Outside of that I'm not so sure he's more than a depth/ST player.

George Wilson ain't even close to being a starting level player in this league. At least McKelvin's young

I don't know what's worse: Chambers becoming the starting RT by default a 7th round rookie as the starting LT They have three healthy tackles, provided that Estes (!) is all right.

That type of clock management hurts...the Denver game in opening week last year was one shining example. Still, it's 17-0 in preseason. We'll see what happens if a similar scenario occurs during the regular season.

The waiver wire will be utilized, but we're scraping by at tackle and the season hasn't started. Demetrius Bell is completely unproven, and Chambers is not starting grade for an entire season. Have to wonder if Peters has a voodoo doll at home. J/K.

so are the Colts players Buffalo's backups may be playing in Week 1 more than we'd like

first down, but the bills OL was free of injury last year...this year may be another story. Sure hope not.

They may need to pass to set up the run this year more than I expected.

Marshawn's okay

take away Losman's scramble there and it's 8 carries for 24 yards

Schefter has nothing tonight, but he's still gotta appear as though he's an "insider."

I wouldn't call it amazing...some ups, some downs. There's one guy playing out of position and another new starter in Chambers.

The more things change...well, it's early.

don't like seeing runs for loss or 1-2 yards. A major issue that I hope doesn't continue tonight.
