They only think that worries me is how good the rams have been on opening day. And Buffalo has come out flat a few times past couple of seasons. 

Buffalo is usually good on opening day. Last season was only opening game they lost in last 3 seasons at least. They won the 1st game in 2019 and 2020

Under McDermott:

2017: beat the Jets 21-12

2018: lost to the Ravens 47-3

2019: beat the Jets 17-16

2020: beat the Jets 27-17

2021: lost to the Steelers 23-16

 

If we win tonight it's the first time we've beaten someone other than the Jets in week one under McDermott.

Can only play the team that's on the schedule. But still though, I get it being the Jets....I was just pointing out to the poster that said Bills had lost 1st game past couple of seasons that actually were wins

Looking at this I want Jets vs Bills week 1 every year :)

I bet Bills fall behind early, make it competitive in the second half, and lose a close one. Little confidence in this OL (forcing Allen to press) and even less confidence in this defense...at least for tonight.

Yeah I remember 2020 was an easy win. But the season before they went down like 0-16 vs the jets and had to come back to win 17-16 iirc.

A week ago, I was nearly certain the Bills are going to lose this game.

 

A couple days ago, I was fairly confident the Bills are going to win this game.

 

In a few hours, I'll have the Bills winning by 8.

 

By 7pm ET tonight, I'll be predicting a 2-score win for the Bills.

This is my weekly cycle for the next 5+ months.

Erm....you can only beat the teams you play.  3 of McDermott's 5 years, we've played the Jets.

2018, was the famous "Peterman is our starting QB" game.   We had no OL and no run game, and the Ravens treated that situation as it deserved.

 

I grant you last year.  Last year opening day was a debacle.  Our offense was ill-prepared for what the Pittsburgh D showed us.  Our defense did its job, and we quite possibly came within a blocked punt of pulling it off anyway.

 

Either McDermott took that to heart and has the team dialed in and ready to come to work, or not. 

 

I do think that the changes on DL and the change at OC help the Bills, because it's going to be harder for McVay and his staff to study and sort the Bills tendencies there.  On the other hand, the Rams should be intimately familiar with Kromer's blocking schemes, so that ought to help defend against them.
