They were us last year. They got the cap space and the FAs. That will be us next year. Also keep in mind that they're playing Detroit not Baltimore in the pouring rain.

I'd like to see something like that happen to a particular CB in Jacksonville.?

Anybody else offended by that Old Spice commercial with the couple wearing Bills jerseys? Are they trying to say Bills fans have odorous emissions?

Stafford is so scared right now he's throwing 1 yard outs on 3rd and 15. WTF?

Someway somehow Stafford is gonna find a way to lose this game.

Wow! Stupid timeout.

One snatches victories and the other snatches crab legs.

Stafford looks like garbage. Darnolds gonna build a lot of confidence working with these short fields.

How was that a catch?

Rivers is 10X the QB Flacco is. Wasn't his fault they lost. If our offense can put something together I guess anything is possible but after yesterday I don't see it.

Though I agree with you in the fact that NP may never be more than a so-so back up I kinda feel bad for the guy. For your first NFL start you get thrown to the wolves on the road against one of the better defenses while your team is in a playoff race. No pressure. Then on opening day on the road you put him behind a Swiss cheese O line and an offense devoid of any real talent against another talented Defense. Awesome! All the while knowing you are nothing more than a sacrificial place holder keeping a seat warm before being discarded. I don't ever really feel bad for any pro athletes but I gotta admit this is close.

What Mack is doing tonight is making me cry.

But but but, Star was paid 10 mil per to occupy blockers and collapse the pocket so our DEs and LBs can feast. 10 mil per for that guy! Geez..... Maybe weather was a factor but it didn't seem to bother Bal too much.

No CB should have to hold their man that long. Flacco had 10 seconds to throw that.

Totally agree with this assessment. Hopefully Star comes to play and earns that contract. Hopefully Kyle and Trent are healthy enough to contribute. Hopefully Davis can be the player he used to be and hopefully this D knocks Flacco on his arse. Hopefully....

I think what's being lost in this scheme planning is that opposing defenses will also know that the QB will look to hit quick, short throws because of the lack of protection. CBs will be playing man press coverage and jump routes. Safeties won't play too deep as there is no WR on this team to stretch the field. It's going to be tough sledding if this offense can't go deep from time to time and give NP some breathing room.

This is true. Nobody will know for certain though it seemed they were more concerned about getting Byrd taken care of instead of Levitre. You'd think they would have kept Andy if they were able to get a more team friendly number.

Armchair GMs always look at situations like this with a blank check and no future repercussions. They could afford him, they chose not to. Andy was a very good, not stellar Guard. Never an All Pro or Pro Bowl if I recall correctly. To his credit just like Preston Brown he was dependable and always in the line up. But there was no way the FO was going to give him 8 per year because of his steady play and dependability coming off a knee scope to boot. Weren't they trying to work out a deal with their Pro Bowl/ All Pro Safety at the time? Maybe he should have got the contract the Saints gave up for him? Woof! That was a bullet dodged right there. Hindsight is beautiful...

He was a FA and got a boatload of money from the Titans. Wanted to keep him but it was the right move by management.

Indeed it was. What makes it worse is I'm 52 so I'm old enough to remember 15 round bouts. Well done sir.

LOL! Good stuff! ?

Remember in Rocky II when Rocky started the fight right handed fooling Apollo through the first 11 rounds before he went southpaw in the 12th and cleaned Creeds clock when he wasn’t expecting it. Picture The Bills front 7 as Rocky and Flacco and his O line as Creed. Something tells me Frazier and Co. have a few tricks up their sleeve come Sunday. This D is not as bad as they’ve shown this preseason. The Offense is a different subject entirely but I’d like to think Daboll has a plan to keep the chains moving efficiently in hopes of close game.

When you look at the schedule the Bills are really up against it the first month but if there's one game they feel they can pull out you'd have to believe its this one. Ravens are from what is considered an offensive juggernaut and our defense should show better than they have in the preseason. Just hope our O line holds up.

I can see Nate having a modest game in his first opening game start. Game manager type performance. Lets say 21 for 32, 238 yards, 2 TD’s and 1 pick. Come to think, that would be a better thread than what are the chances he throws 5 picks. Guess Peterman’s Stat line this Sunday.

Maybe, but to his credit KB played through injury and may have been productive if Tyrod looked his way every so often. Plus he appears healthy this season and ready to play. As far as Murphy goes, I didn’t like the signing either but if he shows up for the opener with a pair of sacks and plays well I’ll be happy to eat crow.
