I thinkk it's a bit too early to get into detailed discussions on any single game the Bills are going to play.  They look like they improved their defense.  Questions about the offense are going to remain for a while.  We'll see how it all adds up.

There’s question marks about everything right now, training camp hasn’t even started.

How can anyone point to any game at this point? 

The boards must be really slow.

If Flacco looks like the Flacco of last year then stopping their passing game shouldn't be a difficult task at all.

 

Don't know if Flacco was the problem or the OC, but that passing game was garbazh.

The last time AJ McCarron started against the Ravens they won 24-16.

AJ was 17 of 27 for 160 yards, 2 TD's, 0 INT's and a 104 QBR.

That's probably a good enough QB performance to beat the Ravens opening day with the D the Bill's will field.

 

He also had A.J. Green, an elite WR in his prIme who gets massive separation and wins jump balls.   He can make any qb look good.

 

I hope McCarron can run a good offense this year, would be great to give Allen a dozen games on the bench before he goes live.

Highly doubt it, but it’s likely the best scenario if we win..

You are right. They have an elite kicker. Give me 10-9 Bills on a pick 6. What the hells bells.

If the ravens score 2 tds I’ll be disappointed.  Maybe I’m drinking the koolaid too much, but I think our D can be top 5.  I think the thing that may hold is from achieving top 5 is the play of the nickel CB. It really rests on the shoulders of Taron Johnson.  If he turns out to be a player, I think top 5 is reasonabley achievable. I pray that he beats out Philip Gaines, who I see as this year’s version of shareece wright.  Hopefully I’m wrong and the switch to zone will benefit him, as he’s projected as a good fit for zone.  He played mostly man in KC, maybe he’s a fit for us.  The Johnson guy played better than I thought he would for us last year, but still had plenty of mistakes.  Let’s hope the new Johnson is a nice upgrade 

 

im also drinking the koolaid of Trent Murphy, believing that he and Hughes will make a formidable duo with Shaq being a serviable backup.  Star solidifying the run D with Edmunds playing 100% of the defensive snaps will be fun.  If Milano makes marked improvement, watch out.

The defense I am not concerned with. Its the offense which I fear can barely put up 10 pts and they lose 14-10 or some craptastic game like that which makes you want to stab your eyes like 2 years ago.

Your drinking the koolaid a little but also underplaying it may take a few weeks for all of the pieces to mesh together also. Even if they allow 21 pts I don't think the defense necessarily did bad especially given the offense will most likely not be on the field much so they will have a lot of drives to stop.

...whatever the final 53 component may be on the defensive side of the ball, I think we will be highly competitive period....and I don't see Flacco and company being a prolific offensive threat...........

Good point.  I’m just not a believer in the Baltimore offense.  They’re crap.  Our offense may be worse, but we have Shady.

OH I haven't been a believer in Baltimore's offense since they let their top 3 starters go in Rice, Boldin, & Smith in successive years. Their offensive line is solid it will probably being a boring a$$ game in the trenches. If Buffalo's QB can find anyway to hit a few deep buffalo should win.

Is this the Official Week 1 Game Day thread?

Sure. I thought we’d get a couple pages in before kickoff..
