We should win by 9, but the first few weeks of the season can be pretty screwy.

He’s better than Fields for sure. I feel like they could have brought in some better competition though.

His issue is that he’s too slow for the NFL. Can’t play special teams for that reason. If you’re going to be a bottom of the roster WR then you need some versatility.

I remember people here (mostly the constantly negative voices) roasting Beane for letting Hodgins go. He didn’t end up doing much.

Part of Allen’s fumbling problems are because he plays hero ball. And by the way, his entire career he has had to play hero ball. His supporting cast has been woeful at times, and the offense play calling seems to devolve to “Let Allen run around and figure it out” when the game is on the line.

Juju has completely messed up knees. Maybe he can give the Chiefs a couple good games, but there was a reason he was cut. Dude is donezo (sad because he’s so young).

Elite passers eviscerate this defense, especially in the playoffs. There just aren’t very many elite passers in the league. McD’s scheme seems to really shut down average passers, so we have great regular season stats. It’s happed every season where the defense is the primary reason we’ve lost in the playoffs, so it’s not a one-off thing (I guess the Bengals loss was a team effort, everything was bad in that one). Mahomes did literally whatever he wanted, what game were you watching? They didn’t even force a punt until the very end of the game. To be fair we were very injured, but in no universe did they play well.

I don’t really understand how Von Miller gets off scot free, but Jones gets 5 games. If anything it sounds like what Miller did was worse, and I think his gf had recordings of the incident. NFL wheel of justice spins again I guess.

This is actually a pretty good point. But if the Bills sweep the Jets, we will finish ahead of them regardless. The bad man Zach Wilson is gone, so we'll see how it goes.

I would trade 2 first round picks and McDermott to the Chiefs for Reid.

I think we have less depth than past years. I don’t expect any trades like this.

McDermott for his faults is actually pretty good at performing well with less talent (remember the Tyrod playoff Bills team?), and Allen is at the peak of his powers. Predicting 4-2 with some absolutely mid teams on the schedule is not delusional.

I’m hoping Brady is a big difference maker this year, since he can actually put into place his offense. I guess we’ll find out soon enough.

I’m not going to read too much into an overseas game where we lost our All Pro LB and very important starting DT mid game. Not to mention that game was the beginning of the end for Dorsey. Brady probably wins that game. Bills marched down the field with ease in the 4th quarter when they actually started play calling with urgency.

1-5 start? No way, even with the weak roster. Cardinals - W @ Dolphins - W Jaguars - W @ Ravens - L @ Texans - L @ Jets - W Dolphins game is Thursday night, so the evil sun shouldn’t be a factor.

Stats aren’t gained in a vacuum. The o-line performed pretty well last year, and Cook benefitted from Allen being the second best QB in the league (and always a dangerous threat to run it himself). Cook performed well, but I think there are a bunch of RBs out there that could have put up similar numbers given the circumstances. I would be surprised if Cook gets a second contract from us.

I like how he picks a hole and hits it hard. That is ideal for certain types of scenarios, and I'm not sure Cook is really capable of it. Cook is a more patient runner, but sometimes that leads to a loss of yards.

Bottom of the RB roster looking pretty good.

Ball was thrown late and slow. Coleman would have been obliterated if he fully stretched out for that. Pretty much the definition of a hospital pass.

More rushers than blockers. Trubisky stinks.

Don’t really agree. We have a brand new WR group, and a lot of changes on the o-line (including center). Getting live game reps is important.

I’m assuming Renfrow wants an actual NFL contract with an expectation to make the roster of whatever team signs him. This guy is a camp body.

I think we all owe the "Thigh Doctor" an apology.

Meh, Darnold would probably be better this year anyway.

Didn't it come out that Trubisky couldn't throw to his left? I think in general he's been a QB where if his first read isn't open then he's screwed. That was okay in college, but not in the NFL. Also seems like his accuracy can be really wonky sometimes. I kind of wonder how Drake Maye will do. Seems like he had a similar college career, and he just got picked #3 overall.
