‘The only positive – and why it is not a big concern – is none of the penalties were committed by projected Week 1 starters.

Bills running game was a disaster vs Bears, but they aren’t concerned. Should they be?
‘“So, that’s where the challenge comes in. We’ve got to embrace that challenge. We’ve got a lot of work to do. We’ll look at the film, obviously, and it’ll hit us right in the face in terms of what we didn’t do well, and that was a big one right there.

The former Dolphin and Titan is still a free agent, which is incredibly shocking considering the success he’s had in his career, as well as when you take into consideration some of the quarterbacks that do have jobs.’

‘Maybe the most obvious is needing to see both the offensive and defensive line do a complete 180 from their performance on Saturday. About a year ago to the day the Bills faced the Steelers in a preseason game in which Buffalo lost and got dominated at the line of scrimmage. The starters kept QB1 from getting sacked yesterday which is good but there’s a ton of room for improvement in that department.
