Steelers play them in Buffalo in week 5... I'm absolutely terrified thinking about that DL going against the Steelers' OL

Slash the tires on the buses now……

They came blasting out of the gate in tank mode. Only the first game, but they are obviously on a mission. By game 5 they won’t be so intense … I think?
I think they could take about 50% off the top and still be able to handle the Steelers with ease.

Most if not all sports (but ESPECIALLY NFL given the physical nature) is who gets hot/healthy in the second half of the season. I'm not saying the first half is meaningless by any stretch, but if the Bills suffer some key injuries, it can collapse real quick.

But, at least for now they proved why they're #1 Vegas odds to win.

Bills and their fans are a likable bunch. They’ve been waiting so long. Could be their year.

Well first game out, guess we shouldn't jump to conclusions...yet, but if you did you'd say the Rams looked washed up.LOL
Bad OL, overrated secondary, lack of weapons (health or not), no running game, aging and potential QB wearing down bc of an injury…definitely ideal. Still one of the most talented rosters

If they can keep up this energy then they're a shoe-in

Well, San Fran should be leading the division at 1-0 after this week after they handle the lowly Bears who may have assembled a worse offensive line than Seattle.

The Rams obviously lost.
The Chiefs will destroy the midget and the horrible fuckin' defense in Arizona.
And the Broncos will slaughter what Seattle assembled - which is led by Geno fuckin' Smith, two rookie tackles, and a banged up guard.
Harold told me you guys are happy to throw this season away, instead of getting an actual QB. You guys should be happy when a plan comes together! :D

To be fair, the Bills came to play on all sides of the ball. That team is hungry, deservedly so.
But the 4 TOs should be a concern. Tough to win a lot of games giving it up 4x. Not every team has a Stafford to rescue you.

Yep but they certainly set the tone. They’re not F-ing around. And, yeah, Allen is a beast.

I'm not a huge advocate of throwing away seasons. Look how long some teams are stuck drafting in the top 5 and nothing ever materializes. And when you're a bottom dwelling team free agents don't come cheap and to acquire any decent starters you have to grossly overpay (which Seattle granted will be able to do, but that sucks as well).

That said, with Geno Smith starting it appears to be the case... I do like that Seattle at least made an effort to bolster their offensive line with a pair of new tackles for the guy that will eventually come in.

True. The first one was good defensive play. But yeah, the fumbles, that will kill ya.

I agree 2 INTs and 2 lost fumbles. The Rams obviously had their own problems with turnovers, but against a competent offense (which the AFC has PLENTY of) that's going to cause problems.
