I watched their game against the jets . Hard to use that as a good benchmark for the season since the jets are expected to be the worst team in the league but :

- LeSean McCoy looked very good running and receiving 

- Tyrod still had passes getting batted down , hes still at his best while improvising/scrambling ie not in the pocket 

- Tolbert actually looked pretty good running north /south and is their #2 RB that spells mccoy from how he was used in game 1 

- Their receivers are pretty decent 

- Their defense is still good

Their offense will not be able to sustain drives on us. I can see shady having 60-80 yards of offense. But outside of that they're in big trouble. Clay is not creating separation against any of our linebackers. Bradberry could shut down Jordan Matthews with 1 arm. Zay Jones had 1 catch versus the stinking Jets so he will be a non-factor as well. The majority of this defense is use to practicing against Cam every day and has been in multiple high stakes games versus Russell and ARod (The 2 most allusive QBs in football) so Tyrod's legs do not concern me. I'm thinking the Bills score 13-16 at the most. If our O can muster 3 TDs we are easy winners.

in all seriousness, I think Buffalo has a solid core to start a rebuild, but the fact of the matter is that they are most definitely in rebuild mode. my impression from noticing news about them in passing during the offseason is that they've been hemorrhaging talent and picking up alot of our scraps that, fairly or unfairly, contributed to our meteoric fall from grace last year.  then they kept hemorrhaging talent. 

people make a huge deal about McDermott knowing our defense and offense, but lets not forget that we also know McDermott's defense. and he only knows so much of our offense. the talent additions we've made will catch him off guard for the most part. I think the Bills will put up a good fight, but much like the 49er game... the Panthers will prove too much for them and we will win by 14+

I watched most of their game against the Jets and their defense looked pretty stout (but that's of course taken with a grain of salt since the Jets are probably the worst team in the league as of right now and their offense looks especially poor).

- McCoy looked to be in midseason form (hopefully what CMC becomes for us eventually)

- Tolbert actually looked good and contributed

- Tyrod is sneaky quick and we'll need to contain him from scrambling

I hear they have an ex panthers coach as their head coach now. 

Aside from that, anyone watch their matchup against the Jets? 

 

What do you know?

Aside from that I know that the bills practice at Fisher College near Pittsford NY which is a dump near Victor/Rochester.  The Anchor Bar for buffalo wings at the buffalo airport sucks.  The team is also ishy.

 

That is all

Copied from the other thread:

I did watch the game, all of it. The offense did well when running the ball and was basically conservative. Their defense, well, uh, didn't look so good. Yeah, they stopped the Jets but it was the Jets (and why the Jets didn't run the ball more is beyond me). Bills' defense did not look like they wanted to win, like they weren't hungry enough. If something doesn't spark their d-line, our o-line is going to eat their lunch. On the bright side, Tolbert did the same 1st down & TD dances he did here, it was good to see him.

Keys to winning: (1) Stop the run game. McCoy is a beast & Tolbert a nice complement. (2) Be disciplined on ST's, stay the gap, and watch out for Brandon Tate. (3) Same offense game plan as SF pretty much, need an on-his-game Cam & a speedy WR to complement.

It won't be easy but we got this.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
