God I just don't get it. How can you possibly think that the 500+ yards of offense has nothing to do with the fact we're missing our top three corners and Byrd! Not just three corners our top three corners! There isn't a team in the league that wouldn't experience a drop-off in the pass defense if you were to take away their four major secondary players. Justin Rogers alone must have accounted for 250 yards allowed. He doesn't belong on the field and maybe that speaks to the fact we should have bolstered our secondary in the offseason a bit more, fine. But I also don't think we anticipated losing this many guys. And now we have Dareus out, we have Carrington getting carted off, Mario possibly hurt. Give me a break. This defense has the most potential we've had in years if we could get everyone back on the field. Also when you're talking about the run game, did you even think to consider that Powell carried the ball nearly 30 times and we had to drop more people into coverage to make up for the loss in the secondary. I feel like no one is even considering this.

Hackett is WAY under-qualified for this job and needs to step it up. Play calling is atrocious and predictable. When it comes down to it, despite missing Byrd, Gilmore, Brooks, McKelvin, Spiller, Dareus, Hopkins, Goodwin, and more, this game was tied with 8 minutes to go.

Am I the only one that thought Nickell Roby had a very solid game for his first game in the NFL?

They must think Byrd won't be ready to go.

This may very well be the weakest CB core in the history of the game.

I have to go with this year's Ravens. They were one 4th and 26 play away from not even making the playoffs, a blown coverage by the Broncos got them into the superbowl and they needed a pass interference to stop the 49ers from scoring a game winning TD. Obviously they weren't a BAD team to have gone that far, every SB winner has some luck along the way, but those 3 instances were huge.

A piece of the team that has been taken for granted for years. The most reliable kicker in team history.

Unless something changes there's no reason Kaufman should be cut any time before Da'Rick (at the very least)

If both those things were to come true I'd be satisfied.

The best thing about the Tuel situation is that it shows how effective our new GM's scouting ability is. He was no fluke, if you remember Tuel was the only QB for a while (if not for the whole offseason) that was brought in for a private workout IN Buffalo. So who knows what he'll develop into but I think he speaks to Doug Whaley's ability to scouts.

Love the full, 360 degree collar, glad that's what they've changed too. Nike has done a very good job with the jerseys; both for the actual ones on the field and those available for us as fans, but the weird toilet seat collar was just them trying too hard.

or they just keep Kolb and switch their roles....

there're conflicting reports that he ordered eggs for breakfast despite it being waffle day in the cafeteria, will update you when I hear more about this but obviously he wants nothing to do with this team.

I think the Patriots are going to surprise some people with how much they're going to run the ball this season. A backfield with Ridley, Vereen, Blount, Bolden (maybe) and Leon Washington (who'll be a return-man, not really a halfback)? Almost scares me more than the Amendola-Dobson-Edlman trio.

Colin Cowherd has a mancursh on anything involving Miami sports. saw that coming a mile away.

That's pretty accurate honestly. That's what the Top 100 should have looked like on NFL network. Could Mario fit on this list? Of course but I can't necessarily find a spot on that list where you could say he deserves it over so and so.

I'm sure stevie himself has nothing to do with this. That picture was probably taken some other time for his own private use (instagram, twitter, etc) and whoever works for the Bills who was idiotic enough to not see what his shirt says is the one who should be blamed.

I understand that these guys want their money but why is it that every time we won't to sign someone they all of a sudden want to be the highest paid player at their position? Byrd, Mario, I'm sure Levitre thinks the same. All of these guys are great but how about some humility? They talk all this hype about being about the team and winning for the city of Buffalo but they obviously don't mean it. I know some of you will jump all over me for saying something so obvious but is this going to be a trend every time we want to resign a borderline probowler? Ala Eric Wood? CJ Spiller in a few years?

And the clock to week one keeps ticking...

I'm good with how low we are but lower than the Jets? Really?

Stature: Andrew Luck Pocket Presence: Aaron Rodgers Arm Strength: Colin Kaepernick Accuracy: Matt Ryan Scramble Ability: RGIII Decision Making: Peyton Manning Leadership: Tom Brady Swagger:Tom Brady

It'd have to be Kyle Williams, unfortunately. He can dominated a game but then disappear the next. So he gets his praise based on those games where he does do well, but is forgotten about when they implode for whatever reason, those games are just as much his fault as they are our weak linebackers'. I'd say Brad Smith, but I think everyone except our front office believes he isn't any good, thus not being overrated.

All they'll have left at the TE spot is Tebow....

1. Byrd 2. CJ 3. Stevie 4. Mario 5. Eric Wood (when healthy)

Alex Carrington by far. The dude out played Dareus when he was given the playing time to do so.
