its the NFL, lots of parity and no JV teams here, wouldn't be surprised if Bills win handily but Steelers hangin tough and Pickett playing well would also not surprise me.

I think we see a break out game from Shakir this week. Go get it youngin!!!

[boyst]

What is more likely:

 

1) Edmunds being out causes a slump on defense but everyone else blames it on Poyer and crew out.

 

2) his replacement makes 1 tackle and everyone says he is better than Edmunds.

 

Regardless, this is an audition for the Bills D w/o Edmunds.

I expect Pickett to make a few plays, Bills to get a few TOs, lots of sacks and at the end of the day see they held him to about 180 yards passing.

Thats an unfair comparison. Shakir actually showed out in preseason games. Da'Rick was all hype from pundits pegging him as a first rounder a year before he actually came out of draft, I dont remember him doing anything in preseason games either

Number 2, because both can happen and people will say 2

That doesn’t seem to me like a reasonable analogy at all.

Shakir was a 5th round pick who looked good in preseason and had some good critical plays in a close game

Undrafted bonehead player, totally fair comparison here….

I mean Ryan Bates cleared it within a week the week of Tua's second concussion, maybe McKenzie just didn't clear it, that can happen.

I'm sure it can happen. My point was more to "is anyone going to ask McD about it?"

The Bills will struggle early. And people will be frustrated. It will be interesting. 

 

I don't think it will be the cakewalk people expect. Their schemes and team match well to us.

Jacksonville had a passrush

 

Steelers have only 1 lass sack than us this year. Alex Highsmith is also tied for 2nd place with most sacks in the league at 5.5 (just 0.5 away from #1). 

They're not AS dominant without Watt, but they're still capable.

[WhitewalkerInPhilly]

Really hoping that this is a Shakir breakout game. 

 

I don't love all the injuries but our front 7 is still solid, Elam, Dane and Taron are playing at high level, their run game isn't working and Pickett is extremely raw. I still think we shut down their O.

They had 7 sacks the first game and 3 in the last 3 games.  Watt gone is a big reason.

That's true. I just see a lot about Hightower, & he seems to be able to get pressure on his own. I'm not convinced our O-line is even mediocre, so not sure how they'll handle him.
