Good breakdown in a different way.

Deferring makes sense most of the time. But I'd love to see the Bills set the tone with a huge return against the new ST of the Pats. Forget smart. Let's be aggressive. Of course, a touchback screws it up...., but I'd love to hear that stadium at 1:20 pm after a Bills KO return for a TD. Play your strengths and play them early.

I hadn't thought of that. How could it not help? Even the Patriots aren't the same team as they were.

Nailed it.

You are a lot more kind to the Bills than I am. RB - Push Oline- Huge advantage to Seattle WRs - Push (Tate was better than our #2) TE - Who'd they have, Carlson? Dline - Talent means nothing - The Bills Dline sucked then and still sucks until further notice. Back 7 - Seattle had one of the top 3 back 7s in football. The Bills were way at the bottom. We can't judge EJ based on the talent around him. I don't think he'll win much this year, but if he does, build a statue in front of the stadium right now. There are just too many unknowns on the Bills, particularly on the defensive side of the ball (but some on offense too).

On paper, on the computer, on the field, the Bills have nowhere near the talent the Seahawks had going into last year. Seattle had a complete defense and an O-line with subs. Do you really think that? or you messin with me?

We will proudly wear the shirts just ordered as I hope everyone on this board will as well. Best of luck in your beautiful daughter's recovery.

Both of them suck IMO.

Those 3 guys got shredded all last year, so them playing is no lock that things are going to be different. Until they show different, they ARE the problem.

+1. I'm looking for 150-200 on Sunday. There's no way you can put the ball in the air 40 times with that WR squad. Then again...our DBs are ....well...light on NFL success... It'll be an interesting game.

Rushing yards. Hold them to less than 100 yards rushing and I'll take my chances with Kenbrell Thompkins, Danny Amendola and Zac Sudfield. I think our DTs are wildly overrated and this game will be a good test to prove or disprove that.

I think it's 4 breasts and 2 busts. But as long as it's an even number, I think we can all follow.

7 Days until we start talking about next years draft....if all goes according to plan.

I've been scratching my head since Kelly retired.

It would be nice to to tie your team captains to the best performers on the team. Fred will get 100 carries this year and Kyle Williams is a shell of his pre-achilles self. Wood is perfect.

It's not perfect, but my guess based on their experience is Leodis and Aaron Williams. Why not shift Williams back....Again....it's not perfect, but maybe he would be better under Pettine's system.

Why even discuss it?

Not a debate worth having. EJ plays or the Bills will struggle mightily.

Now we'll find out what kind of guy Marrone is.....

If EJ Manuel is right and appears to be a franchise QB, it's been a good year no matter what their record ends up being. Of course, we ALL know they are going to go 7-9 and draft 11th, but I truly think this will be an entertaining year.

The point was made that the Pats have as bad, if not worse, at identifying talent lately and I agree. If the Bills just cut Cordy Glenn, we'd be a punchline.

And a Unicorn.

Get some push on the D-line and the CBs will look alot better. Darius and Williams need to step it up.

Actually, it is quite amazing that the Bills have such a loyal following despite this extended period of futility. Every year, there is a substantial group of fans who are optimistic and hopeful. It's amazing.

Dunno if you noticed....but the sky fell a long time ago.
