Well, the amount he would have in week 15 opposed to now. He's a shell of his former self, but can still put up a monster game.

We couldn't run the ball effectively most of last season and what has changed for 2021? Teams have had a year to figure out Allen's weaknesses! Our defense wasn't great - scary at times - and 2 rookie pass rushers may not make it much different? The OL has had a training camp together. Feliciano is playing lighter and that is good as you could see once he went in a direction he was done. Maybe not so much now. On top of that Ford is playing RG and that's the way we are going to run. Look for Our center, Morse to look better this year playing in between two better guards. The more you do anything with a group of guys the better you get. They'll be better this year. On top of that, Daboll's #1 priority by far last season was developing our QB and developing a passing offense for said QB. That takes an incredible amount of time to do that. The run game (coordination) fell by the way-side. We worked on it this summer and Billieve me it will be a lot better. Singletary and Moss are good backs that are hungry. They're going to prove a lot to fans this year, watch. Imho, Singletary is the better one, often reminding me of Thurman Thomas the way he runs. He is not good at avoiding hits like Thomas was at the end of plays (so he can keep playing and not get hurt) but he is very quick and extremely elusive nearly always making the first tackler miss. He is slow but has an extremely quick burst, shakes and shimmies, can't be armed tackled, he's good. I think our defense usually looks pretty good. They looked pretty good vs. the colts and ravens last winter in the playoffs. Its not a great defense, nor will it be unless Tremaine (the guy the defense runs through) is great. However, Tremaine is good and so is our defense. Maybe he'll be better this year? Maybe the age thing is real for him? If he does get better, so does the whole defense. The front four will definitely be better this year with all that depth. We lack a stud DT though...maybe next year? Maybe Ed somehow breaks out? I thought it ducked that Harry hurt his knee. He was playing well in preseason and training camp. I think we're the third best team in league behind KC and Tampa. I think we're there solidly and all alone. We have a true MVP candidate in Allen and we surrounded him with very good football players. We have no real weaknesses, that is, we're not bad at anything. I sure would like Ertz, another starting level corner and Phillips to have a brand new knee. Ertz to have another guy to run a lot of offense thru. I'm worried we are going to run out of weapons again exactly like we did last year. Ertz can help us there a lot. We sure are thin at CB. At least we know who our dimeback is, See: Pittsburgh. We need guys that will shutdown the run like manly men. Not sure we have enough. Harry would help here, imho...It's a lowdown, dirty shame, but that's life for you. So.... That's why we're #3. - Great player at most important position by far. - No big holes anywhere (though I wish Harry was healthy. Maybe we can luck out in the waiver wire. Sometimes great run stoppers become available.) - We're better than last year. See: held team together even the coaches which is a huge thing. Signed Sanders which is also huge. Had a great draft apparently. Very hard to do from pick 30 but all signs point to yes.

Not injured related but wonder how ready they will be. Their corner situation isn’t good either. Why haven't they practiced or played? Are they holding out of TC?
marky Posted August 26, 2021 Posted August 26, 2021 Ever since the 4th quarter against San Diego at home, I expect the Bills to win every game. The offense was unstoppable, completions at will. 1

TJ Watt is holding out for a new contract, yes. Sadly, Stephon Tuitt's younger brother was killed in a hit and run accident about a month ago so he has chosen to not participate in practices but he is there for meetings and doing conditioning on the side.

Live in Steelers country and it’s the most important game on the schedule to me personally. Please share opinions Week 1 games are notoriously hard to predict and often times are pretty meaningless in the grand scheme of things regarding how teams will fare during the season. Chances are probably higher than normal, but I still don't think they are great.

Where are the mods when you need them? 😇👏👏👏👏 Just kidding bud. I’ll wait for the fourth or fifth thread later to comment in two weeks. Needless to say, but most of you know my opinion about what will happen. Go Bills.
eball Posted August 26, 2021 Posted August 26, 2021 The Bills are a Super Bowl contender playing in front of a full house of fans. The Stillers are a playoff wannabe with a past-his-prime QB and shaky OL. We won’t be sweating this game after halftime. 1 1
Turk71 Posted August 26, 2021 Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) I envision Ben running for his life and taking a beating all game. After the game, he retires. I'm not sure if that's a temperature check. That's all I got. Edited August 26, 2021 by Turk71 1

Please share opinions Bills are better at nearly every position and the Bills will have fans for this game…Steelers oline is replacing three starters and Ben is now 38…The Dline gets to Ben this one has a chance to be over by half time…if there’s no pass rush then the Steelers have a punchers chance
billsfan89 Posted August 26, 2021 Posted August 26, 2021 I think the Bills are in a good spot, plenty of time off before the season starts so the dings of camp should be shaken off and the Bills Dline could feast against a poor Steelers Oline. I like the bills chances.

Greg S Posted August 26, 2021 Posted August 26, 2021 I think this will be a very close game. I miss opening up against the Jets as it was a guarantee to start 1-0. Sabres 27 Penguins 24
SF Bills Fan Posted August 26, 2021 Posted August 26, 2021 Steelers are still dangerous, but they are on the decline and the Bills are simply better. I think we win by at least 10

Makes a big difference in my opinion, but any way you do it I'm predicting the Bills in a solid win before a rocking home crowd. Steelers' O-line will have at least 3 false start penalties because of the noise!
