Still pretty bad in Dolphin-land...

Pleasantly surprised with his 2nd half. If he can maintain that and stay healthy then Beane needs to work on that extension.

Inconsistent through the season, but dude consistently shows up against the biggest and hardest teams. Always shows up against KC, one of the only Defensive players to show up in those games and probably the only one to show up in multiple. I'm fine with him disappearing against the Jets and Titans as long as he shows up big like that against the Ravens and Chiefs. Although maybe not for his 2026 cap hit. Something will need to be done there... Great game last night.

I like the idea of Bishop and Hancock out there together. Only concern is both being so green and biting on fakes or being out of place.

I'm picking up your code and we dont swing that way, sorry!

I dont know, but he had a play early in the game (maybe first drive even) where he blocked his dude almost all the way into the Ravens bench. Was nice to see.

Absolutely. I had to comment because my wife is from Rochester, so the Sahlens vs Zweigles debate is a constant in our house

Sahlens. It's Buffalo, not Rochester garbage

Theyve been extremely effective so tough to hate too much. But I hear ya.

To that point, did we run ANY 6 OL Fronts last night? Or has Hawes eliminated that need?

Interesting topic, but I dont think it had much of anything to do with it. Ravens are a very good team and probably the worst match-up for the Bills. I dont see it going any differently even if the starters played in the preseason.

I need to see a replay but I believe Oliver put a huge hit on him that play as well. He definitely got up limping. Still have to go for it there when it was obvious our Defense wasnt going to stop him or Henry.

No one is mad at you, lol. But there is a big difference saying 2/3rds, which would be what, 45,000 out of 65,000 people leaving, versus the more likely 25%

It wasnt 2/3rds of the stadium. It wasnt even half.

Shout out to Kincaid. Very good performance last night. Not just on his clutch catches, but he had a few HUGE blocks on runs.

Great point. I've had blind faith in this team longer than Josh has been alive! Go Bills!

haha its not getting to me. we're just discussing it on the message board today. 1-0 and first place in the division and conference! And loving the way our schedule looks the next 6 games!

Yeah, not a huge deal either way. Just like the Lamar/fan thing. Fan should probably be banned, and everyone move on. 1-0 and on to the Jets!

Agreed. I appreciated the refs "letting them play" for the most part.

It may have been the first time when he said it in the on-field interview post game. But to repeat it a couple more times in the post game press conference means he's not just joking. Focus on the team, not the fans.

Agreed 100%, hence my joke up thread. It's a bad look from Josh. Dont criticize the folks making $50k/yr, paying to be there, so you can make $60M/yr. The team wasnt anything close to perfect, so dont expect the fans to be perfect either. Lets just all appreciate the win, Josh.

Sorry Josh, unlike the Bills Defense, the rest of us have to show up for work.

As much as I criticize our own coaches, that was more Baltimore changing their defensive scheme. Once they went into "kill the clock", they let Josh be Josh. String of bad decisions from Harbaugh, the big one being punting it back to us instead of going for it on 4th and 3. The other being leaving Alexander on an island against Josh. Ravens coaches beat themselves more than our coaches did anything.

Rough night, but as others said, against one of (if not THE) best Offense we'll face all year. Let's see if things balance out after the next few games against the likes of the Jets, Dolphins, Saints, Patriots, Panthers... oh my god what a schedule...

He did as well as could be hoped for from a 6th round rookie, in a juiced up season opener, against a Super Bowl favorite with a high-voltage offense. Wasnt perfect, but nothing to be ashamed of either.
