Strong is getting praise

I'm fine with him having some lapses as long as he makes some plays, too, or at least isn't a major liability like Elam in the KC playoff game. Not just for the sake of this game, but for his confidence going forward. The Bills are doing to need either Strong or Hairston this year, maybe both.

K Matt Prater and OL Kendrick Green have been elevated from the PS for this game. Interesting they went green over a CB.

Green is a backup center.   Maybe Van Pran needs another week to get up to speed and make a full recovery.

Is he?  I haven’t heard much, which I suppose is great when you don’t hear much about a CB.  It’s Strong or Ingram, and it does seem like Strong is getting the start.  Bills struck CB 6th round CB Gold with Benford.  Let’s hope we struck Gold in the 6th round with Dorian

We've been talking a lot about him here. The Twitter verse has been talking about him, as well as wgr, and even vic carucci and some sirius guys said that there's some potential with him based on what they've heard

 

His dad is a serious bodybuilder strongman or something like that so this kid is supposed to be really strong too

I hate that this is a prime time game. The only thing I miss from the drought were the 1pm games. Truly the best. 

Hard disagree…we were so irrelevant that no one wanted us for Primetime and rightly so, no talent or excitement.
 

5 Division titles and an MVP later, give me all the Primetime exposure as possible. We earned it. 
 

Also, I am in AZ so this game is at 5:20 for me haha.

The two guys I'll watch most closely tomorrow will be Keon on offense and Cole on defense.  I was disappointed in both - especially Cole - last season but am hoping they take a big step forward this year. 

 

If they do, my optimism for a Lombardi will likewise take a big step forward.  

I'll be laser focused on Joey Bosa on D. Let's see what he truly can bring to the table against a mobile QB and decent OL.

I gotta admit, a healthy, back-in-form Joey Bosa is probably the best thing that a fan of the Bills D can hope for.

I like that he can play man to man.  Couple that with our improved pass rush and stout run defense, Home Opener, Fair well Season,  I really like our chances

Did anyone get the impression this was artificial and contrived by Babich?

No and yes. Anything coaches say can be this way; but I think they do like Strong. If we can get a starter quality out of him I'll be floored.

Loved the Strong pick at draft time.

 

Not quite sure if he is "ready for prime time" just yet, but I'll bet he will look a lot less clueless than Elam looked in the Playoff game vs KC, IMO.

Our success on defense will depend on Bosa and Rosseau being able to keep Jackson within the pocket and get a few sacks.    Jackson has weapons in Bateman, Flowers and Hopkins not to mention Andrews.  If the pass rush gets to him, our defense will be ok.   Josh can take care of the rest.

Sacks or turnovers.

Everyone during the drought was complaining we never had prime time games, haha.

The Ravens are an exciting matchup for Buffalo, as they are a very physical team.. Did our upgrades along the DL push the needle forward at all?? Or will our offense have to bail us out yet again??

Our upgrades at DL are suspended 6 weeks, for the most part. Bosa is a wildcard. I hope he can last the whole game but also don't have hopes he will last the season so blowing our wad with him in week 1 is a concern.
