At this point, anybody scare you?

[Nextmanup]

KC and the Titans scare me still.

 

Miami does NOT scare me, though they looked much improved and Hill added a huge impact to the team.

Miami is WAY better than this board thought they were in the Miami vs. NE game thread...where the Fish got no respect.  They look like a 9/10 win team to me.

 

I still say we beat them twice, without TOO much trouble.

The patriots might be the worst team in the NFL. 

 

Tua looked awful. 

[Utah John]

Yeah, the first game was pleasant to watch but this is a tough league, and the Bills will have things go wrong, as all teams do over the course of the season.

 

First seven games: Rams - Titans - Dolphins - Ravens - Steelers - Chiefs - Packers

 

I don't know which team it will be but at least one of them will catch the Bills on an off week, and it could be more than one.

 

At the start of the season there was talk that going 4-3 or even 3-4 over the first 7 games would not be surprising.  At this point, based on the mistakes they made against the Rams, I think 5-2 is probably the best we can expect.  The Rams O line was not good, which made our D line and our overall D look tremendous, but against a better O line the Bills will have a tougher contest on their hands.  The Rams game is not a guarantee of future success.

 

The AFCE plays the NFCN and AFCN this year, so the Bills play only one game against the AFCW, which this year is a blessing, even if the one game is against the Chiefs.  As for the Chiefs, they played a pretty bad Cardinals team, so we still don't know how good the Chiefs actually are.  I'm somewhat more impressed by the Chargers beating a good Raiders team.

I'm not that worried about the Titans.  They have Henry back but they lost Brown, and the Bills D line is much bigger and stronger, so the Bills should win a tough game next Monday.

it's too early in the season for me to be too nervous about anyone.  as others have mentioned, the chiefs are the biggest pain in the ass still.

how many times did KC punt ?

Any team with Mahomes (and Kelce) is always a legitimate threat.  We need home field advantage, because we are absolutely going to see these guys again in January.

[Wayne Arnold]

The curse is the only thing that scares me.

[NoHuddleKelly12]

Only the Chefs, and it ain’t close for next after that, imho. Time to prove we have what it takes to beat them soundly in the playoffs when it counts most, preferably in Buffalo this time!

[RobbRiddick]

Not so much KC but Mahomes scares me. He's the kind of guy who could come into Buffalo for the championship game, icy cold temperature, insane crowd, and just act like it's nothing to him.

 

In that respect he's the only one I really fear. But I'm interested to see how he does against a better defense that's smart enough not to blitz him every other play

[C.Biscuit97]

And I think the team that should scare us the most (though we shouldn’t be scared of anyone) is a team that can run the ball and control the clock. I think the Ravens, Colts, Titans, and maybe the Browns when Cosby the qb gets back could be tough matchups.

Dolphins might be for real.  Kinda scary.  So are Ravens.  Chiefs are scary.  We’ll know more after they play Chargers.  Really about both teams.  I’m not counting Colts and Titans out yet.  Bills scare everybody.  Go Bills 🏈🦬

 

Watch Tua's every throw yesterday here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3A-q7UKWOA , and then reassess whether Dolphins are scary. Yes, every given Sunday, Jags game last year, etc, but Dolphins need better plays from Tua before they are in the conversation of "scary".

The MVP curse?

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

Weirdly enough, not the Chiefs. They should be scared of us. We have a defense that can stop them, and they don’t have one that can stop us.

 

I am mostly worried about the Colts— still having JT nightmares from last year.

Nah.  I'm enjoying the ride.  But I can recognize the teams that have it versus the teams that don't.

Then why'd you list Miami?

 

 

[Pags24]

I'm not scared of anyone anymore, but there will be some tough games

[DCofNC]

After game 1, it looks like there are about 4 teams that play in a different league than the rest, Bills, Chargers, Chiefs, TB even though they didn’t capitalize on 4 trips to the RZ, still looked solidly better than the rest.  
 

I’m  sure others will emerge, but the NFL got what they jabbered about for years, parody, the games are getting almost as bad as the NBA in terms of lack of excitement.   Ohhh who can t get pumped about a “shoot out “ between the Eagles and the Lions.. yeah, nobody cares. 

[JakeFrommStateFarm]

Mahommes threw 5 TDs.

 

That is scary

[FilthyBeast]

Every fan should be cautiously optimistic for a number of reasons. For all we know the Rams might be a 6 win team this year. I doubt it but I'm always going to be skeptical until i see a bigger sample size.

 

And even if the bills steamroll the titans next week there's going to be question marks considering they lost at home to the Giants who most folks thought would be in contention for #1 overall pick.

 

For me we'll truly learn a lot about this team starting week 3 against the Fish because that's the first of what looks to be a true murderers row up until midseason.

[Juice_32]

Bills Chiefs and Chargers are top 3 in AFC and probably the whole NFL, IMO.

[Rampage]

Like Kansas City last year, they’re the only team in our way from winning the whole thing. I need to see how LAC does Thursday though. Because they have corners and a pass rush that can stop any offense.

because I believe they will be one of the stronger teams.  I think Hill adds that much.  Time will tell if I’m right or wrong.    Waddle and Hill are a heckuva 1-2.  They get Baltimore this week. A good test.
