I genuinely don’t know how we win this game.

 

Our defensive backfield is a shell.

Sharps hitting Ravens hard late in day/after injury reports.

 

Going to take some turnovers, like last year.

Bills rolled the Rams week 1 in 2022 in their all blues.  Let's hope that continues.

 

Yeah but we fielded a real team that opening game.

 

We are fielding a mash unit this year. I’ll be shocked if we don’t lose by a TD or more.

I just want to win this game so we can all chant M-V-P at the end of the game and really give it to the horrendous Baltimore fans.

We’re down one starter, correct?  Just like BAL

All these groin injuries feel like a kick to my groin!!

 

Last year it was the wrist, this year it's the groin......there's a dirty joke in there sonwhere, but I will leave it to your imagination!!

They brought Christian Wilkins in for a tryout, and he pulled everyone’s groins.

Something’s going on for sure.  Line’s moved 3 points in the last 24 hours.

Depends if you count Hoecht and Ogunjobi or not

He was specifically referring to our defensive backfield

This game should've been "even" to start, from a betting perspective.  

 

Money pouring in on Ravens, it was close to 84% of handle on Ravens ML a day or so back.

 

Ravens: less Likely

Bills: less Max, most likely Tre, and certainly <100% Benford, Keon and Shakir if they all play.  Add in Bass dealing with his own injury issues and a shaky 1 preseason outing --- then no Hoecht or Oji

 

I think it will take a real impacful turnover, special teams play, or multiple of these for Bills to win.  At home opening night, crowd will be electric but can our offense come out "hot" - because we will need that against what looks like another top notch Ravens team (maybe the most talented/physical overall team in afc).

 

Need that "spark" / emotion on the field to start.  Going to be fun regardless, week 1 doesnt foretell the season and we need to get guys healthy long term, if that means being cautious with some guys.

How much you wanna bet the stadium has a BUNCH of Baltimore fans in attendance Sunday night? This is one of those money makers for the STHs who go that route.

Not sure I can remember a season opener the fanbase has been this negative over. 
 

Cant say I necessarily blame anyone.. the preseason was ugly with all backups, we’re playing a tough opponent and everyday there’s a new soft tissue injury, but yeesh…

I've been told I too have a limited groin. Not sure what that means though. Probably nothing bad.

I think it’s just nerves over the opponent. Baltimore just seems to have given us serious matchup problems the last few times we played them. Even that playoff win— we had to basically play keep away to keep our D off the field, and then barely won.

I read the first sentence in your post while still thinking of my post above tbh. Reads funny that way. 

 

Also, agreed.

Hopefully the d line shows up and makes it easier on the secondary
