How confident are you going into tonight's game?

[Bills92]

I think it was MRob that mentioned earlier this week on One Bills Drive, that teams are still trying to figure themselves out the first four weeks of the season..  and that is even more true when you consider the rules regarding mini camps / practices / three pre-season games now.  So he emphasized a couple of things that usually happen in the first four weeks is 

 

1) The talent of the team usually defines who wins these games early in the season

2) That the hunger / will to win also plays a part

 

I do not have a good feeling about this game...  but if you buy into what MRob says, and recognizing that we are the more talented team and after KC and the mantra of 'Find a way' you have to Billieve that we win this game..  

 

Go Bills!

A loss certainly wouldn't surprise me.

 

The Bills are still going to lift their first Lombardi in February.

 

That's all that matters.

I'm 50/50 for tonight. I do think the Bills have the better roster and team, I just feel as though the stage is set for the Rams to come out with their hair on fire and are going to give the Bills a hell of a storm to weather at the beginning a quarter maybe two quarters worth. The Bills will have to weather the storm and throw some shots back. If they can do that when the Rams are amped up then they should be able to knock the wind out of the Rams proverbial sails and bring them back down to reality and come out of LA with a win and move on to the Titans on Monday night.

This is very tough match and wouldn't be surprised by a loss.  They don't have to win all the games, just go on a run from Mid January to February!

[UKBillFan]

Vey nervous. Almost expecting us to go into week seven with a 2-5 record, before going on a run of at least nine out of ten wins.

A victory tonight would perhaps ease my nerves to a degree (until 19th September, that is).

I'm pretty confident. I truly believe Josh is going to be insane this year. I think his football smarts had caught up with his athleticism. He will know where Donald will be all game. Getting the ball out quick. Who will Donald be going up against? Saffold Morse or Bates and Morse

I always expect a loss in games where Bills have the hype train behind them now. I have a heart issue so that helps reduce my anxiety and tension....

expect the worst

The pitchforks and knives will be out for McDermott's head if this team is 2-5.

I will say this, if the bills win tonight (which obviously I'm hoping they will) it'll make 13 seconds a little harder to swallow. Imo, this game is what should've been the superbowl last year.

Talk about worst case scenario.

[BuffaloBillies]

I'm 90% sure there's a 50% chance we should win this game 8 out of 10 times

[JROC INTEL]

I tend to think last years Chiefs were better. Now we stole Von.

haha— I like your mental gymnastics to make a possible loss feel better!

I think the Bills are favored for a reason and are better on paper, but if I had to bet on one game this season for them to lose it would be this one. As long as we don’t lose in embarrassing fashion I won’t lose any optimism.

Unsure.  Both good teams.  Week 1 is usually crazy for the league.  Game can go either way.

[Mynamemike]

It’s weird, I know we have the talent to win and it tonight’s game is another battle in the road to the super bowl.  I just hate all the hype behind us, I don’t remember much from the early 90’s so this is the first time I can remember having all these people picking us as super bowl favorites.  Either way I’m stoked for tonight, took off work for tomorrow so gonna eat and drink good and just be thankful Bills football is back baby!  

[ddaryl]

I want us to win in a convincing fashion... But this is a tough game to start the season.

I expect us to win, but after last years slow start and being on the west coast for a prime time game has me a bit worried. Nothing I can do about that but watch and pace back and forth while I'm watching.
 

[JakeFrommStateFarm]

We should win handily.

 

If we were playing last seasons Rams with Von, Donald and Leonard Floyd on the DLine I would be worried.

 

Rams have lost alot of very good players this season (Von included) so we should win this comfortably.

I've been feeling that this could finally be our year more than I ever have. 

 

As for tonight, I also wouldn't be surprised by a loss. If so at least it will be just the 1st game and also against an NFC team. So the sting wouldn't be quite as bad
